I let out a bitter laugh. “It’s ironic, isn’t it? You spent years making my life a living hell, and now you look at me like I’m the very air you breathe.”

Lennox’s face fell. “Olivia, it wasn’t supposed to be like this—”

I cut him off, my eyes blazing with anger. “Oh, but it was. You wanted me broken. You wanted me to suffer. And I did.” I paused, my voice trembling. “But not anymore.”

Louis, who had been silent, spoke softly. “Olivia, we—”

I shook my head and took a step back, putting distance between us. “No. Whatever you think you feel, it doesn’t matter. It’s too late. You had a choice. And every single time, you chose her. Over and over again, you chose Anita.”

Levi shook his head. “We were wrong.”

I met their gazes. “Yes, you were. And now, you’ll have to live with it.” 

With that, I turned away, refusing to let them see the tears burning in my eyes.

••••••••
Olivia Parker was once the cherished daughter of a respected Gamma—until betrayal shattered her world. Branded the daughter of a traitor, she was stripped of her title, her dignity, and the life she had known, forced to serve as an Omega among those who once respected her.

But fate wasn’t done with her yet.

On the night of the mating ceremony, Olivia discovered the cruelest twist of all—she wasn’t fated to just one mate, but three. And not just any three. Alpha Lennox, Alpha Louis, and Alpha Levi—the ruthless triplet Alphas who had spent years tormenting her.

Bound to a marriage they never wanted, the triplets made her life a waking nightmare. They paraded their lover, Anita, before her, ensuring she never forgot her place, never forgot that they would never want her.

But fate has a way of playing its own game. As secrets unravel and buried truths come to light, the triplets begin to see Olivia for who she truly is—not just a Luna in title, but the woman they never realized they needed.

Only now, she’s done waiting.

Golden stood still like a statue. His face had gone pale, almost gray. I could see the fear in his eyes… fear of losing me… fear of losing me… fear of obeying the very order I had given him.


"Golden…" my voice cracked, "this is not life. Not for me."


"I said listen to me." I swallowed hard, trying not to cry again. "I have no wolf. My legs are useless. I can't stand. I can't fight. I can't lead. I can't protect anything." I looked down at my shaking hands. "I can't even protect my own pride."


Golden clenched his jaw, but I continued.


"And Olivia…" My heart twisted. "She is not mine anymore. So tell me… what am I living for?"


Golden whispered, barely breathing, "You are not useless."


I let out a bitter laugh—if it could even be called that. It was more like a broken exhale. "Listen. Are you going to help me or not?"


My voice hardened. "Golden. Are you helping me… or not?"
