Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77: Doing what she wants

Louis' POV

I was in big shit, in a big dilemma.

As I stormed out of Olivia's room, I knew I had to do what she asked. If I didn't, she'd expose me to my brothers. They'd find out something happened between us. I could already picture the disappointment in their eyes when they discovered that instead of going to Anita while I was drugged, I went to Olivia—the woman we all claimed to hate.

"You shouldn't be ashamed of it," my wolf murmured. "She's your mate… your wife," he added.

I frowned at his words. He wasn't helping the situation.

Taking a deep breath, I walked into the study where my brothers were seated. As I entered, I saw Levi lazily sipping a glass of wine. Unlike Lennox and me, he wasn't taking the whole situation about Olivia having a lover seriously. He seemed a little too nonchalant, and it annoyed the hell out of me. My gaze shifted to Lennox, who stood by the window, a deep frown etched into his face. He looked lost in thought—probably trying to figure out the identity of Olivia's so-called lover.

I paused at the door, composing myself for what I was about to say. After gathering enough courage, I spoke.

"I'm setting Olivia free," I announced.

Instantly, my brothers' eyes snapped to me, but I didn't flinch—I pushed forward.

"We can't keep her locked in. It's not right."

I agree," Levi said smoothly, leaning back into the plush chair like he'd been waiting for me to say it. "We've dragged this out too long. Let her out, see how she acts. If there really is someone else, she'll slip up eventually trying to meet with him. Then we'll catch them both."

I blinked, stunned for a second. That was… too easy. No argument? No disapproval? Just calm acceptance?

"What—you're not going to argue?" I asked slowly, eyes narrowing.

Levi shrugged. "I said what I said. Keeping her grounded will not help us find her lover." His voice was relaxed, but something about the way he spoke didn't sit right with me. Since when did Levi not push back? Not question?

Suspicion curled in my chest, but I had no time to dwell on it. Lennox had turned from the window, his face hard.

"No," he said flatly. "Absolutely not. She's hiding something, and letting her roam free is a mistake."

I met his glare head-on, squaring my shoulders.

"I'm the one who grounded her," I said. "And I'm the one setting her free."

Lennox took a step forward, anger flashing in his eyes. "I would have grounded her even if you didn't."

"Lennox, Olivia is our mate, our Luna," I cut him off firmly. "She's not going to stay locked up like a criminal. If she's hiding something, we'll find out with or without keeping her locked up."

He clenched his jaw, but I didn't back down. I couldn't. Not after what I'd done. If I don't let her out, she will expose me to them.

"You are giving her the opportunity to meet with her lover," Lennox growled. "You know she will."

"Then let her," I snapped. "That's the point. We'll set spies on her. That way, we find out who he is. Don't you get it?"

Lennox growled in disagreement before looking away.

"I agree with Louis… let's not keep her grounded… it's not telling well about us," Levi agreed, and I frowned at him. I know Levi, and he isn't the type who cares about what people think, so where was all this coming from?

I narrowed my eyes at him, studying him closely. Something about his easy agreement didn't sit right with me. Levi was many things—blunt, unpredictable, even reckless—but he was never this… cooperative.

"What's your deal?" I asked him, voice low. "Why are you so eager all of a sudden?"
