Chapter 53: Still Want Her
Chapter 53: Still Want Her
Levi's POV
I was taking one of my normal strolls when I walked into Olivia saving a drowning child. I was moved by instinct and handed my shirt to her, but she bluntly refused. I felt my heart clench at her refusal, but I masked my emotions.
From where I stood, I watched the mother of the child fall to her knees, thanking Olivia over and over for saving her baby's life. When Olivia met my eyes, she stared at me blankly and walked away.
Where I stood, I realized something… something I didn't want to realize. I wanted Olivia back… I wanted us to go back to how things were. Fuck, I really wanted to spend time with her. I wanted her attention.
Despite everything, despite the pain she has caused, despite how she tore my heart, Despite the nights I cried for the first time in my damn life because of her. I still wasn't able to stop loving her.
Watching Olivia hold that child close to her chest, soaked and shivering from the water, refusing even the smallest help from me… it shattered all the walls I'd built around my heart.
And made me realize I still loved her.
I didn't want to. I tried not to. But seeing her like that—brave, selfless, beautiful—it all came flooding back. Every moment with her.Every fight. Every night I stayed awake thinking about her. And fuck, no matter how hard I tried to bury it, the truth wouldn't stop screaming inside me.
I wanted her back.
But I couldn't tell anyone. Not Louis. Not Lennox. Not after how I cursed her, after I swore I hated her. They'd laugh in my face. Call me weak. Pathetic.
"Then you shouldn't fucking care," my wolf snapped inside me.
