Triple Fated: A Romance Novel

Chapter 489: Healer’s Plan

Levi's POV

| stiffened the moment | caught her scent. Honey mixed with nutmeg, faint but unmistakable. Olivia was close.

Louis must've realized it too because he stopped mid-sentence, his expression shifting. But the damage was

already done.

| turned just in tto see her step out from the corner of the hallway, one hand resting protectively on her

belly, her eyes wide and full of confusion.

"Olivia," I said quietly, my chest tightening.

She looked between us, her voice trembling but sharp. "What did you mean by that, Louis?"

Louis opened his mouth to answer, but | cut in quickly. "He didn’t mean anything."

Her frown deepened. "That's not true." She turned to Louis, her gaze demanding. "You said he acts like he

doesn’t want Lennox to wake up. Why would you say that?"

Louis glanced at me, then back at her. "Oli, it's not—"

"It’s because | don’t want you to do something reckless," | interrupted, stepping closer. "That's all. He meant |

don’t want you near Lennox because you might try to use magic again. It’s too dangerous for you and the

babies."

Her lips parted slightly, as if she didn’t know whether to believe me. "So... that’s what you meant?" she asked,

her gaze darting to Louis.

Louis stayed quiet, but | didn't let the silence drag. "Yes," | said firmly, meeting her eyes. "That's all he meant.

Nothing else."

The tension lingered, heavy and uncomfortable. She stared atfor a long moment, her expression unreadable,

then finally nodded, though I could see doubt flickering behind her eyes.

"Alright," she whispered softly. "If you say so."

| forced a small smile that didn’t reach my eyes. "You should rest now, Olivia. Please."

She hesitated, then turned and walked slowly back down the hall.

As soon as she disappeared around the corner, | let out a shaky breath and rubbed my face with both hands.

Louis stared at me, his jaw tight. But | didn’t give him the chance to accusemore. | just turned and walked

toward my room.

Reaching my room, | poured myself a glass of whisky and drank it all in one go. | knew what | was doing was the

right thing. | was protecting Olivia, and | didn’t care what anyone thought.

"But maybe you are going too far," my wolf whispered.

| frowned. Him too? He wasn’t backingup.

"You are my wolf, for goodness’ sake. You should be on my side," | spat out.

"lI am," my wolf spat back at me. "But not with their recent development, Levi," he growled again, his voice

echoing through my head. "Why did you refuse the healers’ plan? It could've helped him."

| slammed the empty glass down, the sound echoing through the room. "Because it's too dangerous!" | snapped.

"They wanted to use a spirit-binding ritual. Do you know what that means? They’d have to call his wolf back

through a link, using Olivia as the anchor."

My wolf growled low. "And maybe that’s exactly what he needs. A connection. Something to pull him back."

| gritted my teeth. "It would kill her," | hissed. "The last ritual almost did! I'm not risking her life for something

that might not even work."

"But he’s fading," my wolf pushed. "You know it. The healers said his heartbeat’s growing weaker by the day.

You're running out of time."

| dragged a hand through my hair, pacing. "I don’t care. As long as Olivia lives, that’s all that matters."

My wolf's voice softened. "Even if that means losing your brother forever?"

That hit harder than | expected. | turned toward the window, staring toward the pack land. My reflection looked

back atin the glass—tired, angry, guilty.

"If that’s the price," | whispered, "then I'll pay it."

| swallowed hard, my voice shaking as | spoke again. "I already lost one of them once. | won't lose her too."

| barely had tto gather my thoughts when the door burst open. Louis stood there, his face hard and his eyes

burning with anger.

"Fine," he snapped. "If you won't let Olivia do it, then lettry. We share a bond with Lennox. | can be an

anchor."

| frowned, already feeling the tension rise again. "Louis—"

"No!" he shouted, stepping closer. "For six months, Levi. Six months! You've been the only one who knows where

Lennox is. You keep us out, you keep her out, and now you're rejecting every chance he has!"

| clenched my fists. "Because | know you," | growled. "You'll do something reckless, something that'll risk Olivia's

life or yours. Right now, I'm the only one thinking straight."

Louis’s jaw tightened. His eyes glimmered with hurt and rage. "And you think that makes you right? That makes

you the only one who gets to decide?"

I didn’t answer.

He stepped even closer, his voice trembling now. "I'm also an Alpha, Levi. Your equal. Stop treatinglike some

kid brother who doesn’t know what he’s doing!"

| opened my mouth, but he shoved me, hard enough to make the glass behindrattle.

Because deep down, | knew he was right.

The air between us was thick, the kind that made it difficult to think, hard to move. My throat burned.

Before | could find my voice, the door flew open again.

"Levi? Louis?"

Olivia stood there, her eyes wide, confusion written all over her face.

"What's happening? And don’t you two dare lie to me."

Louis froze. | turned toward her slowly, my mind spinning with one thought.

Why didn’t | smell her before she walked in?
