Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 693

Chapter 693: Who?

Olivia’s POV

​The prisoner was trembling now, the threat of me finding his daughter having broken the last of his iron will. He looked up at us, his eyes wet with tears and blood.

​"Start talking," I commanded, my voice cold and sharp. "Who sent you?"

​The man swallowed hard, a rattling sound in his throat. "The leader... the Rogue King. He sent us for revenge. He wanted the heads of the Trinity because of what you did to his mate."

​I frowned, looking back at my husbands. "His mate?"

​Lennox stepped forward, his shadow swallowing the prisoner. "We haven’t killed a high-ranking rogue female in years. Who are you talking about?"

​"The one you beheaded," the man whispered. "Four years ago. Annabella."

​The name hit the room like a physical blow.

​"Annabella?" Lennox growled, his eyes flashing with rage. "She was the only one. She was a traitor to the pack. We executed her for trying to kill Olivia and shooting Levi."

​The prisoner let out a weak, bitter laugh. "You thought she was just a jealous girl, didn’t you? You never knew. Annabella was the mate of our King. The plan was simple from the start. She was supposed to lure you in, Alpha Lennox. She was supposed to make you date her, get close to you, and then kill you and your brothers from the inside."

​I felt a chill run down my spine. We had always thought Annabella was just a woman who had gone crazy with obsession.

​"But she failed," the rogue continued. "She actually fell in love with you, Lennox. She couldn’t do it. Our leader called her back, furious, and gave her one last task: kill the woman who had stolen your heart. Kill Olivia. He told her that once the Luna was dead, the Trinity would be weak and easy to destroy."

​I remembered that day. The silver flash of the gun. The way Levi had stepped in front of the bullet for me. I remembered the cold look on Annabella’s face before the axe fell.

​"She missed," the rogue coughed. "She shot the wrong brother and then she died. Our King has been waiting for four years to make you pay. This wedding was his chance to take back the blood you owe him."

​I was shocked. When we interrogated Annabella before her death, she had cried and screamed that she did it because she loved Lennox. She said she wanted me gone so she could have him. We never knew there was a Rogue King pulling her strings from the shadows.

​Lennox’s hands were clenched into fists so tight his knuckles were white. But his face was full of a new, darker question.

​"The tunnels," Lennox barked, grabbing the man by his shirt and lifting him half out of the chair. "Annabella didn’t know about the southern tunnels. They were sealed before she was even born. Who told you how to get in?"

​The man went silent. He looked at the floor, his body shaking. He looked like he was more afraid of the answer than he was of us.
