Lennox’s POV
I stepped out of the cell, my brothers following close behind. I signaled for Golden, my lead commander, to step forward.
"Golden," I said, my voice sounding like grinding stones. "Make sure no one knows a rogue survived. If the word gets out that we have a prisoner, the King might move his camp. Keep the cells locked down. Total silence."
"Yes, Alpha," Golden said, bowing his head.
"Tonight, we attack," I continued. I looked toward the window, where the sun was already starting to dip. "We go to the Black River. We burn the Rogue King’s camp to the ground. Every fighter, every rogue who picked up a weapon—kill them. But listen to me: do not touch the children. Do not touch the weak women or the old ones. We are not monsters."
"Understood, Alpha. I will gather the men," Golden replied.
I turned my head and saw Olivia in the corner of the hallway. She was talking to the children, kneeling down so she was at their level. She looked so calm, so beautiful. But I saw the way her eyes flashed. I knew that underneath that silk robe, she was a warrior.
I felt a sharp pang of worry in my chest. She was pregnant. The new life inside her was only two months old, and yet, I knew I couldn’t leave her behind. The last time Olivia truly unleashed her power was when the boys were kidnapped. She had been like a goddess of fire and wind. We were unstoppable when we fought as a Trinity plus one, but the risk to the baby made my heart hammer against my ribs.
"Golden," I called out before he could leave. "The men you put in charge of guarding the children... are they the best? Do they have special abilities?"
"Yes, Alpha," Golden promised. "I chose the ones with the strongest shields and the fastest reflexes. No one will get near the heirs while you are in the forest."
I nodded, but the weight in my stomach didn’t go away. I walked over to Olivia. She looked up at me, and I could see the fire in her eyes. She knew what I was thinking. She knew I wanted to tell her to stay home.
"Don’t say it, Lennox," she whispered, standing up. "I’m going. Our enemies are out there. I won’t sit in a room while you three finish this."
I reached out and grabbed her waist, pulling her flush against my chest. I rested my hand on her stomach, right where our child was growing.
"I’m terrified for the baby, Olivia," I growled softly into her hair. "But I’m more terrified of what happens if we aren’t all together."
I held Olivia close for a moment longer, breathing in her scent. It was the only thing that kept me grounded while my wolf screamed for blood.
The sound of heavy boots echoed down the hall. Levi appeared, his face tight and his eyes glowing with a dark, restless light. He looked like he was ready to tear the world apart.
"The warriors are outside," Levi said, his voice hard. "They are armed and waiting for the signal."
Olivia stepped back from my chest, her expression serious. "How many, Levi?"
"One thousand," Levi answered. "A thousand of our best."
Olivia nodded slowly. "That is a good number. They won’t know what hit them."

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....
