But Levi suddenly froze mid-swing.
Pillows flew through the air, feathers burst loose with every hit, and laughter echoed off the walls.
“It’s beautiful,” Lolita added, trailing her fingers along the edge of the dresser.
The moment I heard Lennox’s voice… the panic in it… I’d felt like the world was collapsing. There was no way I could’ve ignored it.
We sat there for a while, just holding each other in silence.
“What?!” Louis and Lennox shouted at the same time.
My eyes widened as fear gripped my entire being, forcing me on my feet.
Excited, I jumped to my feet and hurried downstairs.
“Please stay for a little while, Olivia,” he said quietly. “We won’t pull another trick, I -promise. We just… missed you.”
“I missed you so much,” I whispered, my voice cracking.
My eyes widened. Nora nodded.
“What happened?” I gasped, rushing to his side.
I looked up at them, eager to know.
When suddenly-
“Don’t tell me you’re feeling sorry for her,” she growled.
I blinked in confusion as realization hit me like a slap.
“Oh, you bet I did,” I said, already reaching for another one.
Nora and Lolita.
They watched me quietly, waiting.
I didn’t wait for him to finish. I teleported out of my room and appeared in Levi’s chamber.
Levi turned to me with a grin. “I’m on Olivia’s team now.”
But Levi suddenly froze mid-swing.
Pillows flew through the air, feathers burst loose with every hit, and laughter echoed off the walls.

My eyes widened. Nora nodded.
“What happened?” I gasped, rushing to his side.
I looked up at them, eager to know.
Our eyes met, our lips just inches apart. My breath caught..
“Gladly.” He turned and tackled Louis to the bed with a flying pillow strike, feathers exploding everywhere.
Before I could react, he grabbed me by the wrist and, in one swift motion, pulled me down onto the bed under him.
My brows drew together in concern. What could their parents have possibly done to warrant their sons’ rage?
“Are you kidding me right now?!” I snapped, glaring up at Levi, who still hovered above me with a sheepish grin.
“Yes… and also she is banished from the pack… the Alphas found out what she and her father did.”
Lolita and Nora exchanged a look, then turned back to me.
I sat beside Levi, my hand trembling as I placed it gently on his forehead. His skin was warm, but not burning. That was at least a good sign.
We collapsed into a heap of tangled limbs, feathers, and laughter. Completely breathless. 1
Right on top of me.
I was mad.
There they were.
I clenched my jaw and crossed my arms, still lying beneath Levi.
“Where are you guys?” I asked, already panicking.
Within seconds, chaos erupted in the room.
I swallowed, my cheeks flushing as I turned my face away.
Of course I came.
I focused, ready to unleash my healing ability. My energy began to rise from within, glowing faintly under my palm-
“This isn’t fair,” he announced dramatically. “I’m switching sides!”
“In his room…”
Levi leaned down slightly, his voice softer now. “But you came”
“I also heard the triplets are sending their parents away as punishment… we don’t actually know what they did… but we heard the triplets are angry with them,” Lolita added.
Lennox tried to escape, but I jumped on his back, wrapping my arms around his shoulders as Levi attacked from the front.
Three Alphas vs. one furious girl.
I recognized Lennox’s voice immediately.
“I’ll call a maid to take you to your rooms,” I added quickly, walking toward the door.
“It’s called strategy,” Lennox smirked, swinging a pillow at me, which I narrowly blocked.
I gave a small smile and nodded. We all sat on the bed, like we used to back at the mansion. For a moment, none of us spoke. Then, Nora reached over and took my hand.
It smacked him clean across the face.
“Sorry,” he said, though the smirk on his face said otherwise. “It was the only way.” 3 His hand was on my waist. My heart thudded.
Then Nora pulled back and smiled through her tears. “We got some news to share.”
Once the door shut, I turned slowly, lay back on the bed, and stared up at the ceiling, my fingers loosely gripping the sheets.
My wolf stirred inside me.
My heart raced in fear.
They both leaned in, wrapping their arms around me. I melted into their embrace. “You traitor!” Lennox shouted at his brother, laughing uncontrollably.
I should be mad.
“Come,” I said, still smiling. “Let’s go to my room. You have to tell me everything”
My eyes darted to Lennox and Louis, who were now standing at the foot of the bed with wide grins on their faces.
“No, it’s called bullying,” I fired back, throwing one straight at Levi’s head.
Lolita gave me a look. “Surviving is not the same as living.”
Lolita sniffled, clinging to my arm. “It hasn’t been the same without you. The whole place felt empty.”
