Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 629

Chapter 629: People are watching

Levi’s POV

The council hall was full.

Elders sat in their seats. Warriors stood along the walls. The room felt heavy and serious. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Louis sat on my right.

Lennox sat at the center.

For the first time since Lennox returned, the three of us were seated together on the high chairs meant for leaders.

It felt strange.

Quiet.

Then the head elder slowly stood up.

"Alpha Lennox," he said. "Welcome home."

Soft voices filled the room.

"Welcome back."

"We thought you were gone forever."

"The pack missed you."

Lennox stood up.

"I’m here," he said. "And I’m not leaving again."

Something tight in my chest loosened.

The elder nodded. "Your return brings balance back to the pack."

He turned to look at me and Louis.

"To Alpha Levi and Alpha Louis," he said, "we thank you for leading the pack while Alpha Lennox was gone. You protected us. You kept us standing."

My throat tightened.

I didn’t feel like I deserved those words.

But the elders bowed their heads anyway.

"Together," another elder said, "you three are the strength of this pack."

Strength.

The word hurt.

Because someone important was missing.

The meeting continued. They talked about borders, guards, and safety. I answered when needed. Louis spoke about plans. Lennox listened carefully.

He was learning what had changed.

Finally, the elder hit his staff on the floor.

"This meeting is over."

People stood and slowly left.

Soon, the hall was almost empty.

But before we could leave, one of the elders stepped closer.

His face was serious.

"Alpha Lennox," he said carefully, "there is something I feel you should know."

Lennox turned back. "What is it?"

The elder hesitated, then spoke.

"A friend of mine attended a gathering two nights ago. He said he saw Luna Olivia there."

My heart skipped.

"With Alpha Adrian," the elder added quietly. "They were dancing. Very closely."

The room went dead silent.

Lennox’s jaw tightened.

"Are you sure?" Lennox asked, his voice low. Dangerous.

"Yes," the elder replied. "He was certain. I didn’t want to bring it up during the council meeting, but I felt it was right to inform you."

I felt the tension snap tight.

Lennox’s eyes darkened. A low growl rumbled from his chest.

I stepped forward quickly.

"It’s nothing," I said calmly. "Olivia was just having a dance. That’s all."

The elder frowned. "So the report—"

"Dismiss it," I said firmly. "There’s no issue here."

The elder studied my face for a moment, then bowed his head.

"As you say, Alpha Levi."

He turned and walked away.

But the damage was already done.

Lennox didn’t say another word.

He turned sharply and walked out of the hall.

Louis and I exchanged a look.

Then we followed.

Lennox’s room was dark when we entered.

He was standing by the table, a bottle of whiskey in his hand.

He took a long drink.

"Don’t jump to conclusions," I said quietly.

He laughed once. Bitter.

"Jump to conclusions?" he said. "She clearly told us she wouldn’t stop us from dating someone else if we wanted."

He took another drink.

"And what if she wants Alpha Adrian?" he continued. "What if she already does?"

"That doesn’t mean anything," Louis said. "Dancing doesn’t mean—"

"It means many things," Lennox snapped.

I stepped closer. "She said she needed space. Not that she stopped loving us."
