Fated To Not Just One, But Three Chapter 31: pushed her

Chapter 31: pushed her

Levi's POV

"Alphas… you need to go in… Lady Anita is bleeding."

I exchanged confused gazes with my brothers, but we didn't say a word or ask further questions before making our way back into the hall. We pushed our way through the panicked pack mbers.

"Move!" I barked, shoving past a frozen oga blocking the doorway. My brothers were right behind , equally confused.

And then I saw her.

Anita was on the floor, her dress stained with blood. It seeped from her thighs, pooling under her, her face contorted in pain. She was sobbing, her entire body trembling.

Louis cursed under his breath and rushed forward, dropping to his knees beside her. Lennox and I followed, my mind struggling to process the sight.

"What the fuck happened?!" I growled, my voice sharp with concern.

Anita's tear-filled eyes locked onto mine. "I—I wanted to surprise you three," she gasped through her cries. "I was going to tell you—I'm pregnant."

Silence.

My breath caught in my throat. My entire body went still. Pregnant?

Lennox swore under his breath. Louis let out a sharp exhale, his hands hovering over Anita's blood stained thighs, unsure of what to do.

"I was going to tell you all tonight," Anita continued, her voice breaking. "I wanted it to be a happy mont, but she—she pushed !"

She turned her head, her tear-streaked face filled with pain as she pointed a shaking finger at Olivia.

My gaze snapped up, and I found Olivia standing a few feet away, her face blank, unreadable. The pack mbers who had remained in the hall stared at her in shock, whispering amongst themselves.

She didn't move. She didn't deny it. She simply stood there, staring at Anita with a confused but guilty look.

Rage exploded inside .

"You pushed her?" My voice ca out low, lethal.

Olivia flinched, her eyes widening. "I—I didn't know," Olivia finally stamred, her voice trembling. "I didn't know she was pregnant. I didn't even push her that hard. She tripped! I swear, I wasn't trying to—"

"She tripped?!" Lennox hissed, stepping forward, his eyes blazing with anger.

"She's bleeding, Olivia!" Louis snapped, his voice rough with panic as he pressed his hand to Anita's thighs, trying to slow the bleeding. "You call that a trip?!"

Tears welled up in Olivia's eyes, but she stood her ground. "I was just trying to walk past her! She blocked my way and grabbed . I—I only shoved her arm off. I didn't even think—" Her voice cracked. "I didn't know she was pregnant! Why would I ever hurt her?"

I clenched my fists, my wolf silent.

Anita whimpered on the floor, clutching at Louis. "She did it… she pushed ," she repeated weakly, her voice frail and trembling.

The pack murmured louder now, heads turning from Olivia to Anita.

I stared at Olivia, my emotions a tangled storm inside . Olivia wasn't the type to cause harm—everyone knew that. But there was a tendency that she might do it.

Louis growled. "Get the healer! NOW!"

Olivia's lips parted like she wanted to say sothing else, but nothing ca out. She just stood there, tears streaking down her cheeks as she watched us cradle Anita.

The pack's whispers grew. From where I stood, I didn't even know what to feel.

And then another realization hit like a punch to the gut.

Anita was carrying our pup.

Our pup.

Shit. It was possible—so possible. Most of the ti, we used protection. But there were nights we hadn't. Nights where instinct and need had taken over.

I looked at Lennox. He t my gaze with the sa horrified, conflicted look in his eyes.

The healer arrived, rushing to Anita's side, pressing gentle hands against her stomach. The tension in the air was suffocating.

And then… her frown deepened.

I saw it in her face before she even spoke.

A heavy silence fell over the room as the healer whispered the words that made my world tilt.

"She was pregnant," she confird, voice laced with sorrow. "But… the pups are gone."

Olivia gasped, her hands flying to her mouth.

Anita let out a broken sob as she continued shaking her head in denial.

The murmuring grew, but Olivia shook her head. "I didn't do it!" she shouted, her voice cracking. Tears stread down her face as she turned in desperation, looking at , then Lennox, then Louis. "I swear on my wolf, I didn't push her like that! It wasn't—"

"You did it, Luna," a she-wolf accused from the gathered pack. "We saw it."

Murmurs of agreent rippled through the crowd.

"You shoved her!"

"She lost the Alphas' pups because of you!"

"You wanted this, didn't you?"

"No!" Olivia shouted, stepping back as the pack's whispers turned to accusations. "I didn't—!"

Louis shot to his feet. His head snapped toward Olivia, his eyes blazing with anger.

"You expect us to believe this is just a coincidence?" he growled, voice laced with anger.

"I didn't an for her to fall!" Olivia's voice was hoarse with desperation. "She grabbed firs, but I just pulled away!"

Lennox took a slow step forward, his expression unreadable. "Why were you even near her?"

"I—" Olivia hesitated, glancing around as if realizing she was alone in this. "I was trying to leave the hall… she—she stood in my way and grabbed my arm. I didn't even push her that hard!"

Lennox's jaw tightened. "But you did push her."

A fresh wave of murmurs spread through the pack.

"I—I—" Olivia's breath ca faster, panic setting in as the judgnt in the room thickened. She looked at then, her eyes pleading. "Levi, you know . You know I wouldn't—"

I wanted to believe her. But Anita was lying on the ground, covered in blood, our blood. The life we didn't even know we'd created… gone.

My wolf growled low in my head, restless.

"She lost our pups, Olivia," I said, my voice coming out hollow.

Olivia flinched like I had struck her.

"I didn't—" she choked out, taking a trembling step toward , but before she could reach , soone else grabbed her arm.

A warrior.

I stiffened as I realized what was happening.

"She should be punished," another voice rang out from the pack. "She killed the Alphas' heirs."

"No! No, I didn't!" Olivia struggled, but more warriors stepped forward, surrounding her.
