Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 535

Chapter 535: Only Two Mates

Levi’s POV

The moment I walked into that room, my heart dropped.

Olivia was on the floor.

On her knees.

Crying.

Shaking.

And Lennox was just sitting there, staring at her like her tears meant nothing.

Something inside me snapped.

"What the hell are you doing, Lennox?" I shouted before I could stop myself. "You’re making her cry? You’re making her kneel to you?!"

But Lennox turned his head toward me with the coldest eyes I had ever seen on my own brother.

"Get out," he said quietly.

I frowned. "What?"

His voice sharpened. "Get out. This is between me and Olivia. Not you."

I stepped forward, furious. "She’s crying. You’re hurting her."

Lennox’s glare hit me so hard I almost stopped breathing.

"You," he growled, "kept me tied to a bed for four years. You don’t get to lecture me about hurting someone."

I froze—because that cut deep.

But I didn’t step back.

"You hid me. You isolated me. You lied to everyone. You kept me in a place you knew none of them could find."

I clenched my fists. Guilt hit me, sharp and heavy, but I refused to show it.

"And now," Lennox continued, his voice shaking with anger, "you think you can stand here and act like the hero?"

"Lennox, I—"

"I SAID GET OUT!"

His voice thundered through the room.

But I didn’t move.

I couldn’t.

Because Olivia was still on the floor, wiping her tears like she was ashamed anyone saw her cry. She looked so small, so broken, and something in my chest twisted painfully. My wolf howled in discomfort.

I crouched beside her and reached for her shoulder, wanting to comfort her... but she flinched away and pulled her arm back.

That... hurt.

More than I expected.

I stared at her for a moment—how she was crying, but still staring straight at Lennox like he was the only one in the room who mattered.

Even in her pain...

Even while she was hurt...

Her eyes were locked on him.

Not me.

Lennox watched it all, silent, almost satisfied.

Then his voice came again—quiet, sharp, final.

"Olivia and I are not finished."

I snapped my eyes up at him. "You’re not talking to her alone while she’s crying like this—"

"Levi." His voice sliced through my words like a knife. "If you don’t leave this room right now, I swear on every god above, I will drag myself out of this bed and finish what I should have done years ago."

I scoffed.

I couldn’t help it.

"With which legs?" I shot back.

The room froze.

Olivia gasped softly.

Louis appeared behind me in the doorway, his eyes wide with warning. "Levi... stop. Let’s go."

I swallowed hard.

Lennox didn’t say anything else, but the look he gave me made my wolf shiver. He wasn’t bluffing. Even without his legs working, he looked ready to tear the whole world apart.

But before I could say anything—

"You live for him... your breath for only him... in your heart you wished it was me in Lennox’s place... you wish it was me in a coma and not your beloved Lennox." My voice cracked. "It was always him."

Olivia swallowed hard. "Levi, I never said—"

"You didn’t have to." I stepped back, breathing shakily. "I feel it every day. I feel it every time you look at me. Every time you talk to me. Every time you say my name with that cold, distant tone."

She shook her head. "Levi, stop—"

"Why?" I whispered. "You think Louis doesn’t feel it too? You think he doesn’t notice how your eyes soften only when his name is mentioned? You think we are blind?"

Her lips parted, stunned.

I pressed a hand against my chest, feeling the ache spreading everywhere.

"Lennox is back, right? So what happens now? Louis and I get pushed to the side again? Back to being shadows?"

My voice fell to a whisper. "Back to being the mates you accept, not the men you love?"

Olivia gasped. "Levi... that’s not—"

"What are you talking about?" I asked quietly. "You know exactly what I mean."

Tears rolled down her cheeks.

She opened her mouth to speak, but her voice came out soft, weak.

"None of that is true. It’s just your imagination. I love all three of you. You’re my mates."

I stared at her.

Then I scoffed.

"Three?" I asked quietly. "Three mates?"

She blinked slowly.

Like she forgot something.

Like she remembered slowly, painfully.

Then her breath stumbled.

"Yeah," I said, my voice raw. "Have you forgotten, Olivia? You have only two mates now."

Her eyes widened.

"I and Louis," I continued bitterly. "Lennox is no longer your mate."
