Chapter 96: Accusing Gabriel
Lennox's POV
Confused, I went for the box, opened it, and stared inside.
Inside were sets of lingerie, bras, and panties, all soft fabrics and lace. My chest tightened the moment I saw them. They were beautiful, expensive-looking…
Tucked on top was a small note.
I picked it up and read the typed writing.
"This will look so good on her."
My fingers curled around the paper, crumpling it a little without meaning to.
"This came for Olivia… not by delivery, but a guard saw it at the door," Louis announced in anger.
Angrily, I threw the box across the room, anger radiating through me. That mysterious sender has sent another present to Olivia… he has done it again and this time he sent something as intimate as underwears.
"Do you think it's Gabriel?" Louis asked, looking enraged.
I paced around the room as I thought about it. Could it be Gabriel? Was he the sender… was he Olivia's lover? Was that why she went to the Shadow Pack, why she was wearing his clothes? Everything was now making sense to me.
"We should question Gabriel," Louis spat.
I growled in anger and looked back at my brothers. "I swear to God, I'm going to kill him if I find out he is the one."
Levi stepped forward. "Calm down, brothers… we are not so sure… let's ask him first before drawing conclusions."
I eyed Levi before going for my cell phone on the nightstand.
I snatched my phone from the nightstand, my fingers trembling with rage as I jabbed Gabriel's number.
Without thinking, I pressed speaker so Louis and Levi could hear every damn word.
The phone rang once.
Twice.
Three times.
"Pick up, you bastard," I growled under my breath.
Finally, the line clicked.
"What do you want?" Gabriel's lazy voice answered, thick with annoyance.
I didn't waste a second.
"Did you send Olivia a box of fucking lingerie and a note? Have you been sending her presents?" I barked, my voice rough with anger.
There was a pause.
Then a low chuckle.
"I wish I was the one, Lennox," Gabriel said, the amusement in his tone making my blood boil. "God, if I had a woman like Olivia, I'd be spoiling her every damn day. You're all fools, you hear me? You have a woman like that under your roof, and instead of cherishing her, you're letting someone else slip notes and gifts to her."
I heard Louis curse under his breath.
Levi rubbed his face roughly, muttering, "Shit."
My hand clenched around the phone so tightly I thought it might shatter.
Gabriel continued, his voice sharper now. "Find out who's trying to take her from under your nose before you lose her for real. And next time you call me, have some damn proof."
I growled in anger. "Really? Proof? Why the fuck was Olivia in your pack? Why was she wearing your clothes, Gabriel?"
For a second, there was silence.
Then Gabriel laughed — a dark, mocking sound that made Louis stiffen beside me.
