Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 432: The punishment

Olivia's POV

"I have told you guys already... you men are not laying your eyes onfor a week. This is your punishment," |

spat over the mind link the moment | decided to accept it. For two whole days, the triplets had been trying to

reachthrough the link, but | had ignored them every single time. Today, | finally accepted it—not to forgive

them, but to deliver their punishment myself.

"Oli," Lennox pleaded desperately from the other side of the link. "We're sorry, baby... why don’t you cover

and let's talk?"

My heart twisted at his voice, but | forced it back into stone. | had to learn how to harden my heart against them.

If I didn’t, they’d keep breakingover and over again.

"Never," | snapped. "Until the one week is over, you men aren't setting your eyes on me."

| could hear Louis take a deep breath, heavy and slow. "We're sorry... we truly are." His voice was so soft, so

sincere, that for a moment my wolf stirred, reaching out to them, but once again | built my walls back up.

"I don’t care about your apologies," | answered coldly. "Words don’t fix what's been done."

A moment of silence stretched across the link. It felt heavy, like a storm building on the horizon. Then Levi's

voice came, quiet but aching. "We miss you..."

My chest tightened, but | stayed silent, staring at the ceiling as | sat curled on my bed. My fingers trembled

where they clutched the sheets. My wolf whimpered softly inside me, but I ignored her.

I missed them too.

But right now, | couldn't let their words get to me.

"No," | whispered under my breath, though the link was still open. "You don’t get to missnow. You should

have thought about that before."

For a moment, | thought they would argue again, try to convince me, but the link stayed quiet. Too quiet. |

almost hated it more than their begging.

Then Lennox’s voice came, low and rough, like he was holding himself together with threads. "Olivia... one week

without you feels like forever. Please. Don’t punish us like this. Don’t punish yourself."

Tears pricked my eyes, hot and unwanted. | clenched my jaw and snapped the link shut before they could feel

the hurt in my heart.

Silence filled my head again, but it wasn’t peace. It was suffocating.

| curled into myself on the bed, burying my face in the pillow, whispering to no one but my wolf. "I have to do

this. They need to be punished." But why does it feel like I'm punishing myself instead? The more | pushed them

away, the more my heart hurt.

My wolf paced restlessly inside me, whining in my head.

"You're hurting yourself," she murmured. "Go to them."

"No," | hissed out loud, gripping the edge of the bed. "They need to be punished."

Yet it still felt like | was tearing myself apart. My chest ached. My body craved them. Two days without seeing

their faces, without feeling their warmth—it was agony. Torture. And | wasn’t sure how | was supposed to make it

through the rest of the week.

Feeling suffocated, | decided | needed to leave the room. Without thinking, | teleported. The next blink, | was

standing in the middle of Frederick's living room.

My feet carriedup the staircase before my mind caught up. | had cfor Selene. | needed to know if she

was still following through with the plan, if she was still the ally | thought she was.

At the top of the stairs, | paused outside her door when | heard muffled, low, tense voices.

"Why are you acting this cold toward me?" | realized that was Frederick speaking.

Then Selene answered bitterly. "It’s for the best."

| froze, leaning closer, but the moment my presence brushed their auras, both voices cut off. Silence dropped

heavy on the other side of the door.

Damn it. They felt me.

Frowning, | pushed the door open and stepped inside.

Both heads whipped toward me.

Frederick stood by the window, his shirt half open, his hair slightly disheveled. Something about him looked

different—warmer, less like the cold predator | had first met. His aura felt heavier too, as though something had

shifted in him.

And Selene... her hair was mussed, her cheeks flushed. But it was her neck that made my stomach twist.

Faint, almost invisible hickeys dotted her skin.

| blinked, my heart hammering, my wolf bristling in my chest.

Hickeys? When did she get that from, and why did it look so fresh?

My wolf bristled, growling low inside my chest.

Just as | opened my mouth, Frederick beatto it.

"Finally, you are here," he said, but not sounding happy about it... rather, he sounded annoyed, like | had

interrupted something

| glared at him, but his eyes never left Selene. Whatever he was about to say, it wasn’t for me. It was for her.

"I've been reaching out to you for days," he said, his tone deceptively calm. But his eyes still stayed locked on

Selene, hard and unreadable.

Selene stiffened, her lips parting as if to speak, but no sound came.

Then Frederick dropped the bomb. "Because we need to prepare for our wedding. It’s happening next weekend."
