Chapter 70: In our arms
Lennox's POV
It was almost 9 p.m.—just two minutes to go—and then we'd be barging into Olivia's room.
Where we sat in silence, in the comfort of my dimly lit room, not one of us said a word. We were each trapped in the echo chambers of our own thoughts. I took a sip of Whisper and shut my eyes. Damn it. I hadn't been myself all day.
My mood today was spoilt the moment those roses were brought for Olivia. I couldn't do a thing today, couldn't attend meetings, couldn't train, couldn't attend to documents. In fact, the three of us had been in my room pondering on our different thoughts.
I had sent a spy to watch Olivia, hoping to track down the bastard who dared to send her flowers. I couldn't wait to get the report.
"What if she refuses us?" Levi asked suddenly, breaking the silence. "You know we can't touch her against her will."
I scoffed. "She can't reject our touch, Levi. The mate bond works in our favor."
Levi went on. "So… we're fucking her not because we want to, but because we can't bear to see another man take what's ours? Is that it?"
A strange unease bloomed in my chest.
Then Levi hit harder. "Do we even love her?"
My jaw tensed. My frown deepened. "I did," I said coldly. "That was before she broke me. Now… I feel absolutely nothing for her." I ground the words out between clenched teeth, but deep down, I knew I was lying.
