Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229: Still In Doubt

Louis’ POV

Silence.

Heavy. Suffocating. Endless silence.

The kind that presses down on your chest and makes it nearly impossible to breathe.

I glanced around the room at my brothers. They were both here... but barely.

Lennox sat slumped on the couch, eyes blank, staring into nothing. His hands rested uselessly in his lap, his expression hollow. Like life had been drained from him.

Levi was lying on the bed, his eyes locked on the ceiling. He hadn’t spoken much today... or yesterday.

And me?

I sat on the floor, my back against the wall, knees up, head resting on my arm. Just... blanking out.

It had been three days.

Three days since we found Olivia’s body.

Three days since our world shattered.

We had no clue who did it. We sent trackers everywhere, across all borders. Hoped for something—anything—that could lead us to the one responsible.

But everything came back empty.

Whoever did this... was good. Smart. Careful.

Clean.

And no matter how much pain we were in, we were still struggling with one thing—we didn’t believe it.

That body... headless, lifeless...

Could that really be Olivia?

Especially Lennox.

One moment he would be mourning, crying like his world had ended... and the next, he’d snap up, yelling, "That’s not her! That’s not Olivia!"

None of us wanted to accept it. And deep down, we couldn’t.

Even with all the signs. All the proof.

Still, we needed more.

We decided to do a DNA test. Just to make sure.

We took a strand of hair from the headless body. And another from Olivia’s old hairbrush. Sent it to the best lab we knew.

The results came in.

A perfect match.

It was Olivia.

She was gone.

Another brutal confirmation that she really was gone.

I didn’t even realize I was crying until I tasted the salt on my lips. Lennox stood up then, punched the wall, then sank to his knees.

"I still don’t believe it," he muttered. "I don’t care what some test says. That’s not her. It can’t be."

Levi didn’t speak, but I could hear him sob quietly. A sound that tore me apart.

Maybe the Seer was right.

Maybe it was denial.

Our hearts just refused to let go of her.

Suddenly, Lennox looked at me. His voice low and rough. "Louis... mind-link Olivia’s mother. Let her know the memorial is tomorrow night."

I hesitated. "Are you sure? I mean...."

"She deserves to know," Lennox said, his eyes red. "She’s her mother."

I nodded slowly and reached out through the pack’s mind link.

Mrs. Parker?

There was silence for a moment... then her voice came through, angry and sharp.

What do you want, Alpha?

"We’re... having Olivia’s memorial tomorrow night. We thought you should know." ƒгeewebnovёl_com

There was a long pause.

Then she replied—cold and flat.

I’m not coming.

My heart sank. "Why?"

Because that’s not my daughter. I don’t care what you boys say or what proof you think you have. That’s not Olivia. She’s not dead. She can’t be.

I blinked, fighting back another wave of tears. "Mrs. Parker..."

Don’t call me again, unless it’s to tell me my daughter is alive.

And then the link went dead.

I opened my eyes and looked at Lennox and Levi.

"She’s not coming," I whispered. "She doesn’t believe it either. She said... that’s not her daughter."

We all sat in silence again, each drowning in our sorrow.

My wolf... he had completely withdrawn. I hadn’t felt him since the night we found her. He was mourning too. Our mate bond with Olivia might be broken, but not our feelings for her.

We loved her—even before the Moon Goddess made it official.

A soft knock echoed against the door.
