Chapter 31: pushed her
Levi's POV
"Alphas… you need to go in… Lady Anita is bleeding."
I exchanged confused gazes with my brothers, but we didn't say a word or ask further questions before making our way back into the hall. We pushed our way through the panicked pack members.
"Move!" I barked, shoving past a frozen omega blocking the doorway. My brothers were right behind me, equally confused.
And then I saw her.
Anita was on the floor, her dress stained with blood. It seeped from her thighs, pooling under her, her face contorted in pain. She was sobbing, her entire body trembling.
Louis cursed under his breath and rushed forward, dropping to his knees beside her. Lennox and I followed, my mind struggling to process the sight.
"What the fuck happened?!" I growled, my voice sharp with concern.
Anita's tear-filled eyes locked onto mine. "I—I wanted to surprise you three," she gasped through her cries. "I was going to tell you—I'm pregnant."
Silence.
My breath caught in my throat. My entire body went still. Pregnant?
Lennox swore under his breath. Louis let out a sharp exhale, his hands hovering over Anita's blood stained thighs, unsure of what to do.
"I was going to tell you all tonight," Anita continued, her voice breaking. "I wanted it to be a happy moment, but she—she pushed me!"
She turned her head, her tear-streaked face filled with pain as she pointed a shaking finger at Olivia.
My gaze snapped up, and I found Olivia standing a few feet away, her face blank, unreadable. The pack members who had remained in the hall stared at her in shock, whispering amongst themselves.
She didn't move. She didn't deny it. She simply stood there, staring at Anita with a confused but guilty look.
Rage exploded inside me.
"You pushed her?" My voice came out low, lethal.
Olivia flinched, her eyes widening. "I—I didn't know," Olivia finally stammered, her voice trembling. "I didn't know she was pregnant. I didn't even push her that hard. She tripped! I swear, I wasn't trying to—"
"She tripped?!" Lennox hissed, stepping forward, his eyes blazing with anger.
"She's bleeding, Olivia!" Louis snapped, his voice rough with panic as he pressed his hand to Anita's thighs, trying to slow the bleeding. "You call that a trip?!"
Tears welled up in Olivia's eyes, but she stood her ground. "I was just trying to walk past her! She blocked my way and grabbed me. I—I only shoved her arm off. I didn't even think—" Her voice cracked. "I didn't know she was pregnant! Why would I ever hurt her?"
I clenched my fists, my wolf silent.
Anita whimpered on the floor, clutching at Louis. "She did it… she pushed me," she repeated weakly, her voice frail and trembling.
The pack murmured louder now, heads turning from Olivia to Anita.
I stared at Olivia, my emotions a tangled storm inside me. Olivia wasn't the type to cause harm—everyone knew that. But there was a tendency that she might do it.
Louis growled. "Get the healer! NOW!"
Olivia's lips parted like she wanted to say something else, but nothing came out. She just stood there, tears streaking down her cheeks as she watched us cradle Anita.
The pack's whispers grew. From where I stood, I didn't even know what to feel.
And then another realization hit me like a punch to the gut.
