Chapter 176: What If
Lennox’s POV
I managed to force myself out of bed. My whole body ached and throbbed, but I pushed through the pain and approached Olivia.
My heart was breaking—not just because she made out with someone else, but because of what my brothers and I made her go through. Right now, I would do anything... anything to turn back the hands of time and make things right. But that was just a wish.
Getting closer to Olivia, I perceived the smell of the wolf on her, and immediately I knew it was Gabriel. My weakened wolf howled possessively inside me, but I shoved the feelings down.
"Olivia..." I reached for her hand, but she yanked it away and frowned even deeper.
"Don’t touch me!" she spat.
I nodded and let my hand drop to my side.
"We’re sorry, Olivia... we’re so sorry," I said, apologizing from the depths of my heart. I wished she could see it—my heart, the hearts of my brothers. We were truly sorry. Sorry for all the miserable things we did. But deep down, I knew that being sorry would never be enough.
Olivia’s frown deepened, clearly not moved by my apology.
"I don’t fucking need your apology. It’s too late for that. All that’s left is the meeting. Once we get there, I’ll tell the council I no longer want the bond. I’ll tell them what the three of you did to me. And once I’m set free, I will leave you three and this godforsaken pack," she spat, so much hate and anger for us in her eyes.
My heart ached at her words, and my wolf whimpered inside me. I couldn’t speak. So Levi stepped forward.
"Liv... you once loved us, didn’t you?" he asked, struggling to leave the bed as he approached us.
