Fated To Not Just One, But Three

birthday. Do you know how much that cost me?" he asked in anger.
how much I tried to keep my head down and stay out of trouble, this pack would always see me as the daughter of a disgraced
warrior.
"Only two people came into this room yesterday," Lennox continued, his voice low and sharp, like the growl of his wolf ready to
pounce. "You and Anita. So, tell me, Olivia, who else could have taken it?"
I stiffened at his words, the pieces clicking together in my mind. Anita. Of course. She had been in his room yesterday. I
remembered seeing her standing by his dresser, pretending to admire a framed photograph.
I knew Anita better than anyone else. She was cunning, always looking for ways to get what she wanted. I remembered the time
she stole a pack warrior's silver bracelet, only to cry her way out of trouble. Or the time she framed a servant for breaking the
Alpha's Favorite vase, earning the poor girl a week in the dungeons.
And now, she had done it again. But this time, I was her scapegoat.
Who would dare enter Lennox's room and steal something so valuable?
No one.
No one except Anita.
But the words were heavy on my tongue. I couldn't say it. Not to Lennox. If I accused Anita, I'd only make things worse for
myself. No one would believe me. Lennox would defend her, just like everyone else did.
"I didn't take it," I said again.
Lennox let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head. "You think I'm stupid, don't you?"
I bit back a retort, my wolf growling in frustration. I wanted to scream the truth at him, to tell him that Anita was far from the
innocent, perfect girl he thought she was. But I couldn't. Not without proof. And even if I had proof, it wouldn't matter. Anita had
the triplets wrapped around her finger.
"You know what, Olivia?" Lennox sneered, taking another step toward me. "I'm done wasting my time with you. If that necklace
doesn't turn up by the end of the day, I'll make sure you and your mother are punished. Severely."

His words sent a chill down my spine, but I stood my ground, meeting his gaze. "I didn't take it," I repeated one last time, my
voice steady despite the fear coursing through me.
Lennox glared at me for a moment longer before turning away, his shoulders tense with rage. "I give you until the end of today to
return that necklace. Get out," he growled.
I didn't need to be told twice. I turned and left the room, my heart pounding as I walked down the hallway. Once I was far enough
away, I leaned against the wall, my legs trembling beneath me.
Anita. She had to be the one who took the necklace. I knew it in my gut. But how could I prove it without putting myself in even
more danger? The triplets wouldn't believe me, and Anita would just deny it, twisting the situation to make me look like the villain.
"Here you are, Olivia," a guard said as he walked over to me. "Levi is looking for you, and he doesn't seem happy."
The guard's announcement made my heart sink in fear.
"Why? What happened?" I asked, terrified.
Joshua, the guard, shook his head. "I don't know, Olivia, but he is really furious and demanding for you."
Shit! What could it be this time?
