Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 476

Chapter 476: The Risk

Olivia’s POV

For a moment, a heavy and suffocating silence filled the room. Everyone stood frozen, trying to process what the healer had just said. Me? I couldn’t even breathe.

My hands instinctively went to my belly. There was life inside me. Tiny, fragile, pure. But to save that life, I’d have to stop the ritual—the same ritual keeping Lennox alive.

"No..." I whispered, shaking my head slowly. "I can’t stop. We’re too close. It’s only two days left."

The healer’s expression turned serious. "Child, listen to me carefully. If you continue this blood ritual, you’re endangering not just your life, but your pup’s. The spell drains your energy—and that energy is shared with the little one inside you."

"I don’t care!" I snapped, tears burning my eyes. "I’ve come this far. I can’t give up on Lennox now. He’s almost there, I can feel it!"

Levi moved closer, his voice trembling but firm. "Olivia, please. You have to stop this. There’ll be other ways to help him. We’ll find them together—I swear it."

I shook my head violently. "No, you don’t understand! The witch said seven days. If I stop now, everything I’ve done will be for nothing!"

"Everything?" Levi’s voice cracked, anger slipping through his calm. "You think losing our child is nothing?!"

His words hit me like a slap.

Tears spilled down my cheeks as I met his gaze. "Don’t make me choose," I whispered brokenly. "Please don’t."

Louis’s jaw tightened as he took a step forward, his voice low and shaking. "You’re not thinking straight, Olivia! You’re risking your life—our child’s life—for a man who might already be gone!"

"Don’t say that!" I screamed, clutching my stomach protectively. "He’s not gone! He’s fighting, and I won’t abandon him like everyone else has!"

Louis’s eyes darkened, anger flickering beneath his pain. "You think we don’t care about Lennox? We’re here every day, watching you destroy yourself for him! But what about us, Olivia? What about the family you already have standing right in front of you?"

My throat burned as I tried to speak, but no words came out. The room was spinning again—only this time, it wasn’t from dizziness. It was from the pain of guilt and love tearing me apart inside.

Before anyone could speak again, my mother stepped forward and gently touched my arm.

"Olivia..." she said softly, her voice trembling with emotion. "You’re not wrong for wanting to save him. But you have to remember something."

I looked at her through blurry eyes. "What?"

She smiled sadly, her thumb brushing away one of my tears. "You’re not just fated to one mate, my child. You’re fated to three. Lennox, yes... but also Levi and Louis. You carry all of them in your destiny. You can’t save one by destroying the others."

Her words broke something inside me—the last thread holding my resolve together.

Levi knelt beside the bed, his eyes glistening with tears. "Please," he whispered, his hand resting gently over mine. "You have to stop. For you. For our baby."

Louis turned away, his voice thick with pain. "We’ve lost enough already. Don’t make us lose you too."

"I won’t stop," I said quietly, but my voice was steady this time.

Everyone turned toward me—Levi, Louis, Selene, even my mother—their faces a mixture of shock and disbelief.

"Olivia," Levi said slowly, his tone almost pleading. "You can’t mean that."

I turned away from them, my heart pounding, anger and pain boiling together inside me. "Get out," I whispered.

Levi blinked. "What?"

"Both of you!" I turned back, tears streaking my face. "If you can’t stand by me, then just go!"

Louis let out a low growl, his wolf rising under his skin, but Levi grabbed his arm. Without another word, they turned and stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind them.

The silence that followed was deafening.

I sat there shaking, staring at the closed door, feeling my heart crumble into pieces. Then I turned toward my mother and Selene. "Tell me," I said quietly, "am I really doing something wrong?"

My mother hesitated, her eyes soft with sorrow. "Olivia... you have two mates here who love you, and now a child growing inside you. Lennox isn’t the only part of your heart anymore. You have to think beyond him."

I shook my head slowly, tears blurring my vision. "Why are you all acting like he’s not going to make it? Why am I the only one who still believes he can come back? Why has everyone already accepted that he’s dead?"

Selene took a small step closer, her voice calm and her eyes full of worry. "Because, Olivia..." she paused, her eyes glistening. "Sometimes faith alone isn’t enough to bring back the dead."

Her words struck like lightning.

For a moment, I just sat there, trembling, staring at her in disbelief. Then I looked down at my belly—at the life I was supposed to protect—and whispered, almost to myself, "Then I’ll give him more than faith."

Because if faith wasn’t enough... I’d give Lennox my soul. Nothing on this earth would stop me from completing that ritual.
