Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 365: The Plan

Olivia's POV

It was past midnight, and I still couldn’t force myself to sleep. | lay on my bed staring at the ceiling, but my mind

wasn't quiet. | turned to my side and pulled my blanket tighter, but it didn’t help. My chest felt heavy, my

thoughts restless. Where was | supposed to start? | knew nothing about Lord Frederick—nothing about his past,

his friends, or even his weaknesses. He had lived for three hundred years. That meant his vessel could be

anywhere. But where?

Frustration bubbled up inside me. | sat up, rubbing my hands against my face. "But how?" | whispered into the

silence. "How do | even begin?"

My mind raced as | thought of him. A man like that—no, a monster like that—wouldn’t entrust his vessel to just

anyone. It would be somewhere close. Somewhere personal.

The thought made my chest tighten. That meant | would have to get closer to him. | would have to study him,

watch him, maybe even act to be with him. The very idea made my skin crawl.

| pushed to my feet, pacing the room. "No matter what," | muttered, "I'll find it."

| stopped pacing, my breaths heavy. This wasn’t something I could keep to myself. The triplets had to know.

Whatever danger | was walking into, they deserved the truth.

Closing my eyes, | let my power surge. In the blink of an eye, | teleported.

When | opened them again, | was standing inside Lennox’s room. He was at the edge of his bed, pulling the

blanket back. His head snapped toward me, his eyes widening for a second before softening.

"I was just about to contact you," he said quietly, his voice holding that mixture of relief and concern that always

made my chest ache.

I didn’t waste time. "Louis, Levi," | mind-linked. "Cto Lennox’s room."

| felt their acknowledgment at once, the pull of the bond sparking. Within minutes, they arrived—Louis with a

concerned look and Levi with his eyes already sharp with questions.

They all looked at me, waiting to hear what | had to say.

| drew in a shaky breath, forcing myself to steady. "There's something you need to know," | began, my voice a

little tense. "Mother... she toldabout Frederick's threats."

Their expressions hardened instantly.

| went on, holding their gaze. "He's not just threateningwith anything, but he has a blood vow. If | don’t

agree to be his within three days, he’ll hand it to a witch. The spell will bind me. My body will weaken. I'll fall

sick... and then die."

Levi's jaw dropped. Louis’ fists clenched. Lennox’s whole body went rigid, rage flashing in his eyes.

| swallowed and pressed on. "That's not all. To find a way to defeat him, | have to know where his vessel is. A

vessel where his soul is kept. | need to find it and destroy it. And the only way to figure that out..." My chest

tightened. | forced the words out anyway. "...is to get closer to him. To act like I'm willing to accept being his."

For a long second, no one spoke. The room was so silent | could hear the pounding of my own heart. Then, as if a

string snapped, all three of them reacted at once.

"No." Lennox’s voice was a growl, sharp and ragged. His chest heaved, his fists balling so tight I thought his

knuckles might break. "You are not going near him. Not for this. Not for anything."

"Olivia," Levi cut in, his voice louder, rough with disbelief. His eyes blazed, his wolf pushing hard against the

bond. "Do you even hear yourself? Pretend to be his? Act like you're willing? Over my dead body." He shoved a

hand through his hair, pacing, his anger radiating in the room. "You don’t need to get close to him—you have us.

We'll find another way."

Louis didn’t pace. He stood very still, his gaze locked on me, unreadable at first—until | saw it. The rage

gathering in his eyes, the deep protectiveness that cwith his silence. "He wants you to bend to him," Louis

said flatly, his jaw tight. "And now you think we'll allow you to play along? No. That's not happening." His words

weren't loud, but they carried weight like steel.

Lennox stepped closer, his wolf pressing so hard against mine | felt it in my bones. "Do you know what it does to

me—ijust the thought of him touching you?" His voice cracked with fury. "I won't allow it. I'll kill him before |

watch you take one step toward him."

Levi stopped pacing and snapped his head up at me. His eyes were wild, his wolf clawing close to the surface.

"You're mine, Olivia. Ours. Not his. Don’t you dare even think of giving him that satisfaction."

| knew they wouldn't bend easily. But | also knew | had to win Lennox over. Once he agreed, the other two always

followed. It had always been that way.

| turned to face Lennox.

Lennox’s face darkened, his jaw locked tight. "No, Olivia. | said no. I don’t care what plan you think you have—

getting close to him is not an option." His voice rumbled like thunder.

"Lennox, please!" | begged, my throat tight. "If there was another way, I'd take it. But there isn’t. If | don’t do

this, I'm dead in three days."

Levi stepped forward, his hands shaking as he pointed at me. "And what happens if he touches you? If he hurts

you? You think we'll just sit back and watch while you play his little game? I'd rather die fighting than see you

pretend to be his."

My chest burned, frustration building up inside me. "You don’t understand—I'm doing this for all of us! If | don't

try, we all lose. Do you wantto just sit here and wait to die?"

Louis's voice cut in, low and firm. "We'll find another way. But not this." His words were final, like a stone wall

slamming down.

Something insidesnapped. My

voice rose, sharp and trembling with
