Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 695

Chapter 695: Tricked

Olivia’s POV

​The massive rogue camp was twice as large as the prisoner had described. Hundreds of tents stretched into the trees, and the air stank of unwashed bodies and blood. The Rogue King stepped out from the largest tent, a cruel smile stretching across his face. He didn’t look surprised; he looked as though he had been waiting for us to arrive.

​"The Trinity and their fire-breathing Luna," he called out, his voice dripping with venom. "I knew you couldn’t resist coming for me."

​Lennox stepped forward, his wolf glowing in his eyes. "How dare you cross our borders," he roared, his voice echoing through the trees. "How dare you touch our home. You will not leave this forest alive."

​"You killed my mate!" the King screamed back, his laughter vanishing into raw, ugly anger. "You didn’t just imprison Annabella; you beheaded her like a common criminal! You took my soul, so I will take everything from you. I will wipe every last one of your bloodline off this earth."

​"Over my dead body," I snapped. I felt the heat rising in my chest. I raised my hand, and a white-hot flame began to dance across my fingertips, ready to turn this camp into an inferno.

​"I wouldn’t be so sure about that, little girl," the King said, pulling a small black device from his belt. "My spies weren’t just there to kill you at the altar. While you were busy dancing, they were planting bombs in every corner of your mansion. And I believe your precious children are currently inside, tucked away in their ’safe’ room."

​My blood turned to ice. My flame flickered and died as my heart stopped.

​"You’re lying," Lennox hissed, but I could feel his hands shaking through the bond.

​The Rogue King sneered and pressed a small red button on the side of the device.

​BOOM.

​The ground beneath us vibrated. Even from miles away, the sound of a massive explosion ripped through the air. A plume of black smoke began to rise in the distance, coming from the direction of our territory.

​"No!" I screamed. I braced myself, my power surging to teleport back to the mansion, but the King pointed the device at me.

​"Don’t," he warned. "That was just the combat training grounds. The next button blows the East Wing. The one after that? The library and the safe room beneath it. If you teleport, if you move, if you even blink wrong, I’ll turn that mansion into a graveyard before you can touch the door."

​I froze. I could feel the truth in his words. Through the bond, I felt Lennox’s mind frantically reaching out to Golden and the guards back at the mansion.

​Golden, report! Lennox’s mental voice was a scream. Search the foundations! There are explosives in the house! Get the kids out!

​Levi stepped up beside me, his teeth bared and his eyes fixed on the King’s hand. "Drop that device," Levi growled, his body coiled like a spring. "If you hurt those kids, there won’t be enough of you left for the crows to eat."

​"Then I suggest you tell your warriors to stand down," the Rogue King mocked, holding the detonator high. "Because right now, I’m the only one who decides if your heirs wake up tomorrow."

​I looked at Lennox. His face was pale, his Alpha pride warring with his terror as a father. We were trapped. I looked at the black smoke rising from our home and felt something snap inside me. The fear for my children was there, but it was being drowned out by a white-hot, tectonic rage.

​"I don’t care," I snarled, my voice echoing with a power that shook the trees. "If you touch them, I will burn the very air out of your lungs before you can blink."

​I gathered every ounce of my magic, my fingers igniting into blinding white pillars of flame. I was ready to strike, ready to end him—but the Rogue King just smirked.

​"Now," he whispered.

​"Now I have the Luna and one brother in a cage," he sneered. "And I have the detonator for your children’s lives in my hand. So, Lennox... Levi... tell me. Are you going to fight me and watch your family die, or are you going to show me just how much an Alpha is willing to crawl to save his blood?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
