Olivia’s POV
Levi reached out gently, stopping me before I could walk away.
"Olivia... wait," he said softly.
I turned halfway, not fully facing him.
"You don’t have to explain everything," Levi continued. "I know you’re upset. I know this whole thing hurts."
His voice dropped lower.
"But please understand something," he said. "Seeing you with another Alpha... hearing people talk... it messes with our heads."
He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
"We’re not trying to control you," he added quickly. "We’re just scared."
My chest tightened.
"Scared of losing you," Levi admitted. "Scared that one day you’ll wake up and decide you’re better off without us."
He looked at me then, really looked at me.
"If you say it’s nothing," he said quietly, "I’ll believe you. I just... needed to hear it from you."
He stepped back slightly, giving me space.
"We still trust you," he said. "We just don’t know how to handle this distance yet."
His voice softened at the end.
"Please don’t shut us out completely."
I wished I could just tell them the truth right there.
That it was nothing.
That I wasn’t looking for another man.
That I wasn’t replacing them.
That I still loved them—deeply.
That the thought of settling for someone else had never crossed my mind. Not even once.
But the words stayed trapped in my chest.
My throat tightened.
My emotions swirled too fast, too loud.
If I opened my mouth, I knew I would either cry...
Or say something I didn’t mean.
So I stayed quiet.
Not because I didn’t care.
But because I was tired.
Tired of always explaining myself.
Tired of defending my feelings.
Tired of proving that my love was real.
I didn’t want to explain myself in anger.
I didn’t want my words twisted by hurt and jealousy.
I turned away before my face betrayed me.
Before they saw how much this was affecting me.
"I’m going to the boys," I said quietly.
Neither Levi nor Louis stopped me.
When I reached the boys’ room, they were already half asleep.
Leon was hugging his pillow.
Liam was whispering to Leo about school tomorrow.
"Mom," Leo said when he saw me. "Are you sleeping here tonight?"
I smiled softly and walked in.
"I’ll always come say goodnight," I told them.
I tucked them in one by one.
Pulled their blankets up.
Turned off the lights.
"Good night, my loves," I whispered.
"We love you, Mom," Leon murmured.
"I love you more," I replied.
I stood there for a moment after they fell asleep.
I didn’t want them to ever feel my absence.
Even if I wasn’t sleeping in the same house as them,
I would never stop being present for them.
Never.
Alone With My Thoughts
I teleported to my room.
The space was quiet.
Too quiet.
I took a long bath, hoping it would calm my racing thoughts.
But it didn’t.
When I lay down, Lennox’s face kept coming back to me.
His anger.
His jealousy.
The way he slammed the table.
So I forced myself to imagine it differently.
I imagined them in my place.
I imagined walking into a room and hearing people say they saw Lennox or Levi or Louis dancing closely with another woman.
Just imagining it made my chest burn.
Jealousy curled inside me.
Pain.
Fear.
My wolf stirred.
Understand them, she whispered.
And I did.
For the first time, I truly did.
They weren’t angry because they didn’t trust me.

The readers' comments on the novel: Fated To Not Just One But Three
When Olivia finds out she is related to alpha Calvin the chapters don’t make any sense and are not in order. Hopefully this doesn’t keep happening through the remaining 400 chapters....
