Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 363: The Man They Wanted

Olivia's POV

"Get your hands off me," | snapped, yanking his grip away from my neck and stumbling back a step. I glared into

his eyes... "I will never belong to you, Frederick... never," | spat.

He smirked, slow and dark, a devilish twist of his lips that made my stomach knot. "We shall see."

| wanted nothing more than to scorch him where he stood, to burn him into nothing with the fire that pulsed

inside me. But | knew it would be useless against him. So instead, | vanished. Teleporting away, | landed back in

my room—only to find | wasn’t alone. This time, it wasn’t just Mother waiting for me. Calvin was there too.

The moment | appeared, their faces toldeverything—fear, worry, silent questions. | ignored them both and

grabbed the bottle of water from my side table.

The water was cool against my throat as | gulped it down, but it didn’t wash away the burning in my chest. My

hands still trembled from the anger | had barely contained. When | set the bottle down, | finally looked at them—

Mother and Calvin. Both of them were staring atas though I'd walked out of a warzone.

Mother's face was pale, her hands twisting in her lap. Calvin, though... his jaw was tight, his fists clenched at his

sides. Concern was etched into both their faces, but his eyes—sharp, stormy—never left mine.

"Olivia," Mother whispered, her voice shaking. "You went to him, didn’t you?"

I didn’t answer. | just crossed my arms, leaning back against the table. My silence was answer enough.

Calvin stepped forward, his voice low, tense. "Why the hell would you face Frederick alone?" His gaze searched

me, fierce but laced with worry. "Do you have any idea what he could've done to you?"

My lips curled into a bitter smile. "He already promised what he’ll do, Calvin. Three days. If | don’t bend, he'll kill

me. You wantedto sit here and wait for that?"

His fists tightened, his chest rising and falling unevenly. For a moment, he didn’t say anything. Just stared at me

like he was trying to hold himself back.

Mother spoke again, her voice trembling. "What did he say to you?"

| laughed bitterly, shaking my head. "What did he say to me?" My voice cracked, but anger carried it. | turned my

eyes on both of them, fire burning hot behind my glare.

"Isn’t this the man you all wantedto be with?" | spat. "The one you praised? The one you said was powerful,

safe, worthy? Look at him now. That sman is ready to killif | don’t belong to him."

Mother's lips parted, her face paling even more. She looked like she wanted to deny it, to say it wasn’t true, but

she stayed silent.

| took a step forward, my hands trembling at my sides. "Do you see now? Do you understand what you were

asking of me? You weren't givinga choice. You were pushinginto the arms of a monster." My voice broke,

but I didn’t stop. "And now that monster is counting down the days to my death, unless | give myself to him like

sprize."

Calvin's jaw clenched, his eyes darkening as if my words were cutting straight through him. His fists tightened,

but his voice, when it came, was low and rough. "I never wanted this for you," he said, his tone tight with guilt.

I shook my head, blinking back the hot sting in my eyes. "But it happened. And now I'm the one paying for it."

| turned away from them, my anger intensifying. "Please, both of you leave," | ordered, my back still turned

against them.

Behind me, | heard Mother's voice break, soft and trembling. "Olivia..."

But Calvin cut her off. "Mother, we should let her be."

There was a pause. But | knew they were still there, still watching me. My wolf paced inside me, restless, snarling

that they should leave.

Soon, | heard footsteps, and then the door opened and closed.

Realizing they were gone, | turned around and walked over to the bed. I sat on the bed, thinking of what to do... |

wasn't taking Frederick's threats lightly. By the look in his eyes, | knew he meant every bit of his threats, and

that gotso worried.

| dragged my hands down my face, sucking in a sharp breath. My thoughts shifted suddenly towards Anita.

Why hadn't | heard anything about her? Why had no one mentioned her since the last t| saw her? My chest

tightened. Was she dead already?

| stood abruptly, my wolf urgingforward. | had to see her. The corridors of the packhouse stretched before

me, cold and silent. My footsteps echoed as | made my way to the lower levels, down the winding stone stairs,

until the air grew damp and heavy. The dungeon.

The guards at the entrance stiffened when they saw me, but | didn’t pause. One glare was enough to make them

step aside, their heads bowed.

The smell that hitfirst was iron, then dampness. And then | saw Anita.

She was slumped against the wall of

her cell, her once-bright eyes dull per

Rss rands around her face,

and her body looked so frail it made

my stomach twist. She looked dead.

My steps faltered as | moved closer to the bars. For a moment, | thought she might already be gone—but then,

barely, | saw her chest rise and fall.

"Anita..." | whispered, my throat tight.

Her head turned weakly, her dull eyes finding mine. A broken sound slipped from her lips, almost like a laugh but

too fragile to hold shape. "So... you cafter all," she rasped, her voice cracked and dry.

| swallowed hard, my wolf pressing

inside me, torn between pity and fury.

She shifted against the wall, her lips trembling. "Olivia... doone kindness."

| frowned, gripping the cold iron. "What do you mean?"

Her gaze wavered, tears welling faintly in her tired eyes. "Tell your brother... to kill me."

The words hitlike a blade.

My wolf growled, unsettled, pacing in confusion. She wants death?
