Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 631

Chapter 631: Back

Lennox’s POV

"Guess who is here?" Levi said, the moment he stepped into my room.

I lifted my eyes from the document in my hand and frowned at him.

"Who?" I asked.

He didn’t answer.

He only said, "You have to come and see for yourself."

That alone made my chest tighten.

I stood up immediately and followed him out of the room. Levi didn’t speak as we went down the stairs, but from his mood, I could tell he was furious.

The moment I entered the living room, I froze.

Aurora.

She was sitting on the couch.

Her face was swollen. One eye was bruised. Her lips were cracked. There were marks on her arms she hadn’t even tried to hide.

For a second, I couldn’t breathe.

"Aurora..." My voice came out rough.

She lifted her head when she saw me, and her eyes filled with tears.

Anger exploded inside my chest.

"Who did this?" I demanded, my voice shaking with rage.

She tried to speak, but her lips trembled. Then she broke down crying and stood up, throwing herself into my arms.

"It’s Austin," she sobbed. "My husband."

That name made my blood boil.

"That bastard," I growled. "I warned you. I warned you not to marry him."

I remembered it clearly.

Five years ago.

Her wedding.

I had stood against it with everything in me.

Austin was nothing. A pauper. Living off borrowed pride. And from the first moment I met him, something about him felt wrong.

I held her tighter as she cried.

"He changed," she whispered. "Because I can’t give him children... he started hitting me. I built him. I gave him everything. My money. My name. My connections. And now he uses his fists on me."

My hands clenched into fists.

"He eats from your wealth," I said through my teeth, "and still has the guts to touch you?"

Levi stepped closer, his face dark with fury.

"I’ll make him pay," he said coldly.

"Yes," I replied without hesitation. "He will pay."

Aurora pulled back slightly and looked at me with red, swollen eyes.

"Lennox," she whispered, ashamed. "Can I... can I stay here for a while? I can’t go back to my parents like this. I don’t want them to see me broken."

My heart clenched.

"Of course," I said immediately. "This is your home. You’re safe here."

She broke down again, and I held her like I used to when we were kids.

After a few moments, Aurora’s sobs slowly eased.

Her shoulders were still shaking, but her breathing began to calm.

I gently pulled back and cupped her face, careful not to touch the bruises.

"You’re safe now," I told her firmly. "No one will ever touch you like that again."

I turned sharply toward the guards.

"Get the healer," I ordered. "Now."

They bowed and rushed out immediately.

Levi moved closer to Aurora, his voice softer but still tight with anger.

"The maids are preparing a room for you," he said. "You’ll be comfortable. You won’t have to worry about anything."

Aurora nodded slowly, wiping her tears.

"Thank you," she whispered. "Both of you."

She looked around the living room as if noticing the space properly for the first time.

"Where are the boys?" she asked suddenly. "I thought I’d hear them running around."

"They’re still at school," I replied. "They’ll be back later."

She smiled faintly at that, then hesitated.

"And Olivia?" she asked carefully.

I felt the shift immediately.

"She doesn’t live here anymore," I said.

Aurora frowned.

"What do you mean?"

I exhaled slowly.

"It’s a long story," I said. "One we’ll talk about later."

Her eyes searched my face.

She didn’t push, but I could tell she knew something was wrong.

Just then, footsteps echoed down the hallway.

The healer entered, carrying her satchel, her expression turning serious the moment she saw Aurora’s injuries.

"Let me take a look at you, my dear," the healer said gently.

Aurora nodded and allowed herself to be guided toward the couch again.

As the healer began her work, applying herbs and murmuring softly, my jaw tightened.

Austin was still breathing.

And that was about to change.

The healer’s hands glowed softly as she worked, her face growing more serious with every second.

"There is internal bleeding," she said quietly. "That man was a beast. Why didn’t you run sooner, child?"

Aurora’s eyes filled again.

"I thought he would change," she whispered. "I kept telling myself it was just anger... just stress. I believed him when he said he was sorry."

My hands clenched into fists.

The healer shook her head. "Love should never hurt like this."

She finished the healing spell slowly, carefully, then straightened.

"She will recover," she said. "But her body and her heart need rest."

I frowned deeply.

That bastard wasn’t even her mate.

Levi crossed his arms. "You won’t even need to find him," he said. "I’ll bring Austin here myself." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
