Chapter 107: His Emotion Olivia's POV "All done." Levi sighed in relief as he finished bandaging my arm.
"I could get the healer," he offered.
"No need. I'll be fine by tomorrow. My wolf's healing abilities must have done their work," I replied, and Levi nodded, still squatting before me.
Feeling awkward being so close to him, I stood up and walked to the window, pretending to take in fresh air when, in truth, I just wanted to be as far away from him as possible. But Levi didn't take the hint. Instead, he followed and stood behind me, makingfrown as I wondered what he was doing.
"Is there a problem?" I asked, irritated, my back still turned to him.
I heard Levi release a soft sigh. For a moment, he said nothing. It was like he was struggling to find the right words.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOur mate bond sparked to life, and suddenly, I began to feel his emotions-something that hadn't happened before. They'd blocked me. Blockedfrom feeling anything from them. But now... it felt like Levi had unblocked me. And what I felt? It was a mix of nervousness, worry, and fear.
I furrowed my brow, confused. Why was Levi lettingfeel his emotions? Why was he givingthat kind of access? That kind of connection is only shared between mates who trust each other. So why now? "Olivia... I have something to say," Levi said gently, his voice soft-like the man I used to know... like how he used to talk to me.
"Can you please turn around? I want to look you in the eyes and say it," he pleaded.
For a moment, my heart began to race. My wolf whimpered softly, clearly confused. Why was Levi acting like this? Why was he speaking so gently? And why couldn't I be angry at him... tell him that I didn't want to hear a word? Maybe it was because I could feel his emotions. His nervousness.
I wanted to turn, but I kicked against it. "You can say what you have to say, Alpha Levi," I muttered, trying to sound as harsh as I could be.
There was silence between us for a while. I could feel Levi's emotions through the bond. I could feel everything. He was nervous, scared... and sorry.
"I want to let the past go," Levi finally said, his voice soft but clear. "I want us to be together, the way real mates should be." I didn't move. His words were shocking. I didn't know how to respond.
"I'm sorry, Olivia," he said again. "I'm sorry for hurting you all these years. But I was in pain too. What you did to me... it really hurt. It broke me." My heart started beating faster. I was confused. What I did to him? What was he talking about? "What did I do, Levi?" I asked slowly, still not turning around.
There was a long pause before I finally turned to face him. I needed to see his eyes when he answered. But when he looked at me, he didn't speak right away. He just looked... sad.
"You know what you did," he said, his voice tight.
"No, I don't," I replied, shaking my head. "I honestly don't remember. Why don't you just tell me?" He looked away, his jaw clenched like he was trying not to say something.
"Because I can't," he finally said. "I don't want to go back to that moment. And maybe it's better that you don't remember." His words made my chest feel heavy. None of this made sense. If he wasn't going to tell me, why bring it up at all? "Then why say all this?" I asked, my voice cracking a little. "Why tellyou're hurt by something I don't even remember?" "Because I want you to understand why I acted the way I did. I wasn't just being cruel for no reason," he said softly. "You hurtthat day, Olivia. And I've been carrying that pain for years. But I'm tired of it. I don't want to live like that anymore. I want to move forward. I want us to start again... if you'll let me." I stared at him, unsure of what to say. Start over? After everything? I didn't even know what I had done to him, and he wouldn't tell me. How was I supposed to decide something so big when I didn't even know the full story? And yet... I could feel his pain. I could feel that he truly meant what he said.
"Olivia..." Levi stepped forward, reaching out to take my hand.
But I quickly stepped back and shook my head, my voice rising. "No, Levi... you have to tellwhat I did! How did I hurt you? You and your brothers keep saying I hurt you, but I don't remember anything! I can't remember doing anything!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe opened his mouth to speak-his eyes dark and full of something m couldn't quite place but just then, a sharp, sudden pain hit my chest. I gasped, grabbing my shirt as the pain shot through my heart like fire. It wasn't physical exactly—it was deeper, tied to my wolf.
Levi froze, his hand reaching out like he felt it too. "Olivia?" he asked urgently, his voice full of panic. "Did you feel that?" I nodded, struggling to breathe. "Y-Yeah... what was that?" My wolf whimpered deep inside me, her voice breaking as she cried out one name.
Lennox.
I froze, eyes wide.
Levi's expression changed instantly-his eyes darkening with worry. "Something's wrong," he said, already turning toward the door. "Something's wrong with Lennox!" And without another word, he ran.
I didn't think. I followed.
My heart was pounding, my legs moving before I could even process what I was doing. I could feel my Wolf's fear pressing in onlike a storm. Something was wrong-very wrong. "Levi!" I shouted as we raced down the hallway. "What's happening?!" But he didn't answer. He just kept running, faster and faster.
And the only thing I knew for sure was that the pain in my chest wasn't just mine anymore-it was Lennox's. And it was getting worse.
