Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 573

Chapter 573: Suspect

Lennox’s POV

A heavy pain hit my head first.

A sharp, deep pounding... like someone was hitting the inside of my skull with a hammer.

I groaned softly and moved my fingers.

They twitched.

Slowly... very slowly... I opened my eyes.

Everything was blurry at first.

Dark shapes. Faint light. A strange, cold smell.

My heartbeat felt slow but strong.

I blinked again until the room became clear.

And then I heard it.

"Alpha Lennox... you are awake..."

The voice shook... like the person speaking was holding back tears.

I turned my head a little and saw Golden kneeling beside me.

His eyes were wide. His face was wet. His hands were shaking. I have never seen one of my bravest warriors in such a state.

"I thought... I thought we lost you," he whispered.

I frowned. My mind was foggy. My body hurt everywhere.

Memories rushed into me fast.

The knife.

The blood.

Olivia screaming.

The fire.

The boys crying.

Darkness grabbing me.

I pushed myself up slowly, confused.

"What happened?" I asked. My voice was rough and weak.

Golden wiped his face and took a deep breath.

"You died... Alpha. The healers checked you. They said you were gone. They said there was nothing they could do."

I froze.

Dead?

Me?

My heart beat faster. I shook my head slowly.

"No... that can’t be..."

But Golden nodded fast.

"It was confirmed. They took you to the morgue. Everyone thought you were gone."

I stared at him, shocked.

My hands were shaking.

I whispered, "Everyone thought I was dead...?"

Golden swallowed hard.

"Yes."

My chest twisted painfully as I remembered my last memories.

I remembered tears on Olivia’s face before everything went dark. I remembered her telling me to hold on.

I closed my eyes, feeling something heavy move through my chest.

"What... what happened next?" I asked.

Golden looked down.

"You were buried, Alpha."

My eyes opened wide.

"What?"

He nodded again. His voice shook.

"They buried you a few hours ago. Tonight. At the heroes’ ground. The whole pack was there. Your funeral was done."

My breath felt stuck in my throat.

I was buried?

In the ground?

My voice came out soft, almost scared.

"Then... why am I here?"

Golden took a shaky breath.

"I went to see you... to pay my last respects. Then I felt... something strange. My wolf felt a heartbeat. At first, I thought I was imagining things. But then it grew stronger."

My own heartbeat grew louder in my ears.

Golden continued.

"So I dug. I dug fast. I dug with my hands. I pulled the dirt away until I reached the coffin. When I opened it... you gasped for air. Your heart started beating harder."

Golden placed his hand over his face and cried quietly.

"You were alive. You were breathing again. I pulled you out and carried you back here. I have not left your side since."

I stared at him... shocked... confused... overwhelmed.
