Fated To Not Just One, But Three Chapter 629: People are watching

Levi’s POV

The council hall was full.

Elders sat in their seats. Warriors stood along the walls. The room felt heavy and serious.

Louis sat on my right.

Lennox sat at the center.

For the first ti since Lennox returned, the three of us were seated together on the high chairs ant for leaders.

It felt strange.

Quiet.

Then the head elder slowly stood up.

"Alpha Lennox," he said. "Welco ho."

Soft voices filled the room.

"Welco back."

"We thought you were gone forever."

"The pack missed you."

Lennox stood up.

"I’m here," he said. "And I’m not leaving again."

Sothing tight in my chest loosened.

The elder nodded. "Your return brings balance back to the pack."

He turned to look at and Louis.

"To Alpha Levi and Alpha Louis," he said, "we thank you for leading the pack while Alpha Lennox was gone. You protected us. You kept us standing."

My throat tightened.

I didn’t feel like I deserved those words.

But the elders bowed their heads anyway.

"Together," another elder said, "you three are the strength of this pack."

Strength.

The word hurt.

Because soone important was missing.

The eting continued. They talked about borders, guards, and safety. I answered when needed. Louis spoke about plans. Lennox listened carefully.

He was learning what had changed.

Finally, the elder hit his staff on the floor.

"This eting is over."

People stood and slowly left.

Soon, the hall was almost empty.

But before we could leave, one of the elders stepped closer.

His face was serious.

"Alpha Lennox," he said carefully, "there is sothing I feel you should know."

Lennox turned back. "What is it?"

The elder hesitated, then spoke.

"A friend of mine attended a gathering two nights ago. He said he saw Luna Olivia there."

My heart skipped.

"With Alpha Adrian," the elder added quietly. "They were dancing. Very closely."

The room went dead silent.

Lennox’s jaw tightened.

"Are you sure?" Lennox asked, his voice low. Dangerous.

"Yes," the elder replied. "He was certain. I didn’t want to bring it up during the council eting, but I felt it was right to inform you."

I felt the tension snap tight.

Lennox’s eyes darkened. A low growl rumbled from his chest.

I stepped forward quickly.

"It’s nothing," I said calmly. "Olivia was just having a dance. That’s all."

The elder frowned. "So the report—"

"Dismiss it," I said firmly. "There’s no issue here."

The elder studied my face for a mont, then bowed his head.

"As you say, Alpha Levi."

He turned and walked away.

But the damage was already done.

Lennox didn’t say another word.

He turned sharply and walked out of the hall.

Louis and I exchanged a look.

Then we followed.

Lennox’s room was dark when we entered.

He was standing by the table, a bottle of whiskey in his hand.

He took a long drink.

"Don’t jump to conclusions," I said quietly.

He laughed once. Bitter.

"Jump to conclusions?" he said. "She clearly told us she wouldn’t stop us from dating soone else if we wanted."

He took another drink.

"And what if she wants Alpha Adrian?" he continued. "What if she already does?"

"That doesn’t an anything," Louis said. "Dancing doesn’t an—"

"It ans many things," Lennox snapped.

I stepped closer. "She said she needed space. Not that she stopped loving us."

Lennox stared at the bottle in his hand.

"Maybe I am just scared," he said quietly.

"Or maybe... my gut is correct."

The room fell silent.

I stepped closer and tapped Lennox’s shoulder gently.

"Let it be," I said quietly. "Don’t let fear control you."

He didn’t look at .

I waited for him to say sothing.

He didn’t.

So I stepped back.

Louis glanced at , then at Lennox, but said nothing.

We left him there, standing alone in the dark room, the bottle still in his hand.

Hours later, night had fallen.

The packhouse was quiet again.

I went down for dinner.

The mont I entered the dining room, I stopped.

Olivia was there.

She was seated at the long table with the boys, laughing softly as she helped Leo with his food. Liam was talking excitedly, waving his spoon in the air. Leon leaned close to her side, smiling.

She looked calm.

Peaceful.

Like she belonged there.

My chest tightened.

This was what we had been missing.

Then the door opened.

Lennox walked in.

The room changed instantly.

The boys noticed him first.

"Daddy!" Leon called out happily.

Lennox froze at the door.

Olivia slowly lifted her head.

Their eyes t.

For a second, no one moved.

No one spoke.

Louis stepped in behind Lennox, sensing the tension.

Lennox took a slow step forward.

Olivia didn’t smile.

But she didn’t look away either.

We ate in silence.

Plates clinked softly. Forks moved. No one really tasted the food.

Olivia focused on the boys, helping Leo cut his food, reminding Liam to slow down, and wiping Leon’s mouth when he spilled juice. She didn’t look at Lennox again.

After a while, she smiled at the boys.

"Alright," she said gently to the boys. "Finish up. I’ll et you in your room."

The boys nodded.

"Good night, Daddy," Leon said, running to Lennox and hugging his leg, while Liam ca to and Leo went to Louis.

We kissed them good night one by one before they left the dining room, their small footsteps fading down the hallway.

The mont they were gone, the air changed.

Heavy.

Lennox spoke first.

"I heard you went to a party," he said, his voice tight. "And danced with Alpha Adrian."

Olivia frowned and slowly turned to face him.

"Are you monitoring my movents now?" she asked coldly.

Louis shook his head quickly. "No. Soone saw you and told an elder. It wasn’t planned."

"So?" Olivia snapped. "I danced. Is that a cri now?"

Lennox’s jaw clenched.

"You can dance," he said. "But rember—you’re still Luna. People are watching."

She laughed. Not a happy one, but an irritated, bitter one.

"I don’t give a fuck," she said flatly. "I’m tired of living my life to please people."

The words hit hard.

She glared at us.

"And besides," she continued, "we are on a break. That ans we’re not together."

My chest tightened.

"This is an open situation," she said. "I can be with soone if I want. And you can be with anyone you want too."

The room went dead quiet, then suddenly Lennox slamd his hand on the table.

The sound echoed through the dining hall.

He stood up so fast his chair fell backward.

"Enough," he growled.

Without another word, he turned and walked out.

The doors slamd shut behind him.

I stayed frozen in my seat.

So did Louis.

While Olivia stood there, breathing hard, her eyes shining with anger.
