Chapter 2: Accused
Olivia's POV
Pushing the door open, I met a furious-looking Lennox waiting for me. His room was a mess. Clothes littered the floor, shoes thrown to each corner of the room. I was confused to see it in such a state because Lennox is a top-notch man when it comes to cleanliness; he loves everything tidy.
The moment he noticed my presence, he turned to me, and our eyes met. I could see anger and hatred for me in his eyes, and this baffled me because, among the triplets, Lennox was the closest to me when we were little. Back then, when my father was still a respectable warrior, he would bring me to the pack house to watch him train, and on various occasions, my path crossed with the triplets. I was just seven years old then, and they were twelve years old, but we turned out to be great friends. In fact, I visited the pack house more often, and while my father trained other warriors, I played with the triplets.
But that was before.
Before everything fell apart.
Just like Anita, they severed all ties, acting as though we had never been friends.
"Who cleaned my room yesterday?" Lennox suddenly asked, his voice filled with rage that made my wolf whimper in fear inside me.
I swallowed hard in fear and forced myself to speak. "I did."
Lennox's expression darkened, and he took another step towards me, but out of fear, I instinctively took a step backward.
"Then tell me, Omega," he sneered, his voice dripping with anger, "where is the diamond necklace I kept in my top drawer?"
I froze, my heart racing as Lennox's words sank in. A diamond necklace? I had no idea what he was talking about. My mind reeled, trying to recall if I had seen anything of the sort while cleaning his room. But all I could remember was organizing his scattered belongings, folding his clothes, and dusting the surfaces. There had been no necklace in the drawer.
"I... I didn't see any necklace," I stammered, my voice trembling as I met his accusing gaze.
