Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 603

Chapter 603: Jealousy

Olivia’s POV

Without a second thought, I closed my eyes.

I was ready to teleport.

All I had to do was focus—on Levi, on Louis, on Kaine—and my power would take me straight to them. My heart was racing, fear pounding in my chest.

But just as I was about to move, something stopped me.

I felt them.

Their presence.

They were already back in the mansion.

My eyes flew open.

Panic hit me hard.

I turned and ran.

I didn’t stop. I didn’t slow down. I pushed past servants and guards, my dress brushing the floor as I ran toward the entrance gate. My heart was beating so loud it hurt my ears.

And then I saw them.

Kaine was being supported by two guards.

Blood stained his clothes.

My breath caught in my throat.

For a second, my mind went blank.

Then I rushed forward.

"What happened?" I shouted, my voice trembling as I reached him. "What did you do to him? Why is he bleeding?"

I couldn’t hide it.

I didn’t even try.

Fear spilled out of me as I grabbed his arm, my eyes scanning him quickly. There was blood on his side, dark and fresh. My hands started shaking.

"Kaine—"

"I’m fine, Luna," he said quickly, trying to stand on his own. "It’s nothing serious."

Nothing serious?

I stared at him like he had lost his mind.

"You’re bleeding," I snapped. "This is not fine."

Then I turned slowly.

My eyes locked on Levi.

"What happened?" I asked, my voice low but full of anger.

For a moment, dark thoughts ran through my head. My chest felt tight, and my wolf stirred, uneasy and angry. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Levi raised his hands slightly. "Calm down," he said. "It wasn’t what you’re thinking."

I didn’t answer.

I just waited.

He sighed and continued, "We went hunting. There was an animal trap left behind near the old woods. Kaine didn’t see it in time. It caught him."

My eyes flicked back to Kaine.

He looked away.

That told me everything. Something was wrong.

"You shouldn’t have taken him hunting," I said coldly.

Louis scoffed. "He’s a guard, Olivia. We can take him anywhere. He’s under us."

Something snapped inside me.

"No," I said sharply. "He is under me. He is my personal guard."

The words came out more possessive than I meant them to. The moment they left my mouth, the courtyard went quiet. Even the guards helping Kaine froze.

Louis turned to me, anger flashing in his eyes.

Levi stepped between us slightly. "Enough," he said, his voice firm. "This is getting out of hand."

I wanted to say more.

So much more.

My chest was burning, my heart pounding, but I could feel the eyes on us. Guards. Servants. Too many people watching. Whispering. Judging.

So I stopped myself.

I turned back to Kaine and reached for him, my hands already glowing faintly. "Sit," I said softly. "Let me heal you."

Before I could touch him, Louis stepped forward.

"No," he said firmly. "We have healers. Let them handle it."

I looked at him, shocked. "Louis—"

"We need to talk," he cut in. "Now."

I didn’t argue. I couldn’t. Not here.

I let the guards take Kaine away, even though every part of me screamed to stay with him. My eyes followed him until he disappeared down the hall.

Then I turned and followed Levi and Louis.

Their study door slammed shut behind us.

The silence was heavy.

Louis was the first to explode. "What the hell is going on here, Olivia? Don’t tell me you don’t see it."

"I see you both overreacting," I snapped.

"No," he shot back. "I see you losing control."

Levi’s voice was low. "You defend him. You panic over him. You claim him as your personal guard."

"So?" I asked. "That’s my right."

Levi looked straight at me. "Are you into him?"

The question hit hard.

I froze for half a second.

Then I laughed. Quietly. Bitterly.

"If I was," I said, "wouldn’t you even know?"

Inside, my heart was racing.

You have no idea, I thought. You have no idea what I already did.

Louis stared at me like I had slapped him. "Are we not enough for you?" he demanded. "Is that it? You want something new? Something fresh?"

"That’s not fair," I snapped.

"Then explain it!" he shouted.

Levi stared at me. "What?"

"No," I repeated, louder this time. "You don’t get to decide that."

Louis laughed, sharp and bitter. "Listen to her. She can’t even hide it."

"I can’t hide what?" I demanded.

Louis stepped closer, his eyes dark. "You care too much. You panic over him. You protect him. You look at him like—" He stopped, jaw tight. "Like he belongs to you."

"That’s not fair," I said.

"Then say it’s not true," he shot back.

I opened my mouth.

Nothing came out.

Levi’s voice rose. "Olivia, this is out of control. Kaine is leaving, whether you like it or not."

"No," I said again.

The room went quiet.

Louis snapped. "You see?" he said to Levi. "She won’t let him go. She’s really into Kaine."

Something broke inside me.

All the fear. All the pain. All the lies I had been carrying alone.

"Yes," I said.

Both of them froze.

"Yes," I repeated, my voice shaking but clear. "What if I am into Kaine?"

The words hung in the air like thunder.

Louis stared at me, shocked. "You—what?"

"I said what I said," I went on, anger burning now. "I can have a lover if I want to. I am allowed to feel something. After all"—my voice cracked—"you both had Anita before."

Dead silence filled the room.

Levi turned slowly to face me, his eyes wide. "What did you just say?"

I swallowed, my heart racing, but I didn’t look away. "I said what I said."

Louis shook his head like he couldn’t believe it. "You’re serious."

"Yes," I said. "I’m serious."

Levi ran a hand down his face. "You’re saying you want a guard," he said slowly. "After everything we’ve been through."

I swallowed hard.

My chest hurt so much it felt like I couldn’t breathe. The room felt too small. Their eyes were on me—angry, hurt, confused. I could see it now. I was breaking their hearts.

I never wanted this.

I didn’t want to choose sides. I didn’t want to fight. I didn’t want to lose them.

"I can’t do this," I whispered.

I turned away from them. I just wanted to leave. I needed air. I needed space before I said something else that couldn’t be taken back.

But I didn’t make it far.

Levi grabbed my wrist.

His grip wasn’t rough, but it was firm enough to stop me. Strong enough to remind me who he was.

"We’re not done talking," he said.
