Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 214

Chapter 214: Can’t Leave

Olivia’s POV

I sat anxiously on my bed, my mind racing with thoughts of how to tell Gabriel that I would be leaving tomorrow. Ever since my encounter with him last night, I hadn’t been able to sleep. I felt like I was suffocating... like if I dared to close my eyes, someone would attack me. That was how terrified and panicked I had become. I couldn’t explain it, but these dark, dreadful thoughts wouldn’t leave my mind.

"Pack your things and leave... you don’t have to inform him first," my wolf urged.

Agreeing with her, I stood to my feet, ready to pack my few belongings. But then a knock came at my door, and my heart leapt into my throat. I caught the scent instantly and knew it was Gabriel. Strange... when had I started panicking at his presence?

He knocked again, and I swallowed hard, forcing my mouth to open.

"Come in," I whispered, my voice trembling. "The door’s open."

The door pushed open and Gabriel stepped in, holding a massive bouquet of red roses in one hand and two elegantly wrapped gift boxes in the other. He looked calm, like nothing really happened last night.

"I came to apologize," he said gently, closing the door behind him. "For the way I spoke to you yesterday... I was angry. But I had no right to take it out on you."

I stared at him, my lips pressed tightly together. I was supposed to feel something... gratitude, forgiveness... but I felt nothing. Just a cold, suffocating feeling that wouldn’t lift.

He moved a little closer, holding out the roses. "These are for you."

I didn’t reach for them. I didn’t even move.

"I need to leave," I said quietly. freewebnovel-cσ๓

His hand froze mid-air. "What?"

"My mother wants me back in her pack," I lied, forcing the words out without letting my gaze meet his. "She said she needs me there."

A heavy frown carved itself deep into his face.

"You’re lying."

My eyes held his, and my breath caught at the sight of the anger in his eyes.

"I can feel it," he said, his voice low but filled with annoyance. I didn’t answer. I didn’t need to. The silence was loud enough.

Gabriel stepped back, the flowers still in his hand, now wilting from the way his grip tightened.

"I won’t let you leave," he said finally, his voice colder now. "Not like this. Not while you’re angry with me. Not when I know you have nowhere else to go. You really think I’d let you run off and endanger your life?"

He walked over to the small table by the window and placed the gifts and bouquet down carefully.

"I’ll give you time," he said without looking at me. "But you’re not going anywhere, Olivia."

Then without another word, he turned and walked out, closing the door behind. With a pounding heart, I stared at the door, already feeling like a prisoner.

My wolf growled angrily inside me.

"Olivia, we have to leave now... tell him you can take care of yourself."

Nodding my head, I quickly packed my few belongings. My heart was racing, my panic was increasing... I felt that strange feeling that something wasn’t right.
