Chapter 443: Something Is Wrong
Lennox’s POV
"Ahhh..." | felt an unbearable pain hit my chest. The pain was so severe that it almost sentstumbling to the
ground if | hadn't grabbed the edge of the desk. | wanted to move and instantly realized something was wrong.
"Olivia!" | whispered, my lips trembling, while my wolf answered with a raw, keening howl inside me, confirming
every terrible suspicion.
Before | could move, the study door burst open. Louis stumbled in first, followed by Levi. Both looked pale and
shaken, their eyes already wide with the sfear twisting inside me.
"You felt it too?" Louis asked, his voice trembling.
Levi didn’t even wait for my answer. "Something's wrong with Olivia," he said sharply. "I can’t feel her. The bond
—it’s weak, almost gone."
| tried to link to her, focusing on the spark that always connected us — but nothing cback. No warmth, no
voice, no trace of her mind. Just silence.
"Olivia!" | called again through the link, forcing the bond to open, but it was like shouting into an empty void.
Blocked.
Panic rushed through me. Just a few minutes ago, she had been here. We'd drafted a plan. She was supposed to
go talk to Frederick — to make a deal. The plan was simple: she'd convince him that if we helped him find
Selene, he'd let her go, break the blood vow. After that, she was supposed to return and tell us if he agreed.
That was all. A conversation. A negotiation.
So why couldn’t | feel her now?
Louis slammed his fist on the desk. "She should've been back by now!" he shouted. "What if something
happened—"
Levi cut him off, his voice low but trembling. "The bond wouldn't react like this unless she was in danger."
| clenched my fists. The panic turned into fury. "We have to talk to Frederick."
Levi's hands were shaking as he pulled his phone from his pocket. "I'm calling him," he muttered, already dialing
Frederick’s number.
We all went silent. The only sound was the ringing. Once... twice... three times. No answer.
Louis cursed under his breath. "Pick up, damn it!"
Levi tried again. Still nothing. | could feel my heartbeat pounding in my throat. My wolf paced inside me,
growling low and uneasy. Every instinct screamed that Olivia was in danger.
"His mansion is at least four hours away," Louis said, his voice tight. "If something happened—"
"Don’t," | cut him off sharply, clenching my fists. "Don’t even say it."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe air felt heavy. | could barely breathe. | tried the bond again, pouring all my strength into it — Olivia, answer
me. But it was like hitting a brick wall.
My panic turned to rage. "We're not waiting," | snapped. "We're going to Frederick."
Levi looked at me, hesitant. "Lennox, we don’t even know if he is home—"
"I don’t care!" | shouted. "She's in trouble. | can feel it."
Levi exhaled shakily and nodded. "Fine. Let's go."
We were already heading for the door when Levi's phone rang.
Frederick.
Levi put it on loudspeaker immediately. "Where is Olivia?" he demanded.
There was silence on the other end. No background noise, no breath — just stillness.
Then Frederick’s voice came, low and strained. "You need to calm down."
Louis growled. "Don’t tell us to calm down! Where the hell is she?"
Something in Frederick's tone made my chest tighten. "Something... happened," he said. "I'm on my way to you
now."
"What do you mean something happened?" | roared. "What did you do to her?!"
"I said I'm coming," he snapped, his voice breaking for the first time. Then the line went dead.
Levi's hand dropped, the phone slipping from his fingers.
For a moment, no one moved. The room was silent except for the sound of our ragged breathing.
We went downstairs, but the panic followed us. None of us spoke. We didn’t even know what to do — wait? Run?
Fight? My wolf was restless, pacing and clawing at my insides.
Louis kept pacing in front of the window, his hands in his hair. "What if she’s—"
"Don’t," | snapped. My voice cracked. "Don’t say it."
Levi sat on the edge of the couch, phone clutched in his fist, staring at the dead line like he could force Frederick
back onto it.
Minutes crawled by, every tick of the clock like a knife in my chest. We had to know what happened before we
could act. We had to.
Then | heard it — the low growl of a car engine rolling up the drive.
| was already moving before Louis could even speak. We ran outside. Gravel crunched under our boots.
Frederick's car cinto view, headlights slicing through the dark. It rolled to a stop. The moment he stepped
out, | was on him.
| grabbed him by the collar of his coat and slammed him back against the hood. "Where is Olivia?!" | roared, my
wolf's voice blending with mine.
He didn’t fight back. His face was pale, his eyes hollow. "Listen to me—"
"Tellnow!" | snarled, shaking him.
Frederick's jaw tightened. He looked at each of us once, then said quietly, "The kidnappers... they wanted Olivia
in exchange for Selene. She accepted."
Louis staggered back like he'd been struck. "She what?"

Levi's hands balled into fists. "So you just—what—Ilet her go?!"
Frederick's lips pressed together. "They had Selene wired with a bomb. One wrong move and she would die.
Olivia insisted. She—"
"Bastard!" | snarled and punched him across the jaw. He stumbled back against the car, blood blooming at the
corner of his mouth.
"She is our mate!" | roared. "How dare you let her walk into that!"
