119 calming Her Down 119 calming Her Down Lennox's POV 1 For once , I wished Gabriel was here with us and not just on the phone . I swear to God , I would have punched him right in the face . But unfortunately … " Listen , Gabriel , there is a situation , " Louis said , sounding worried . I believe even Gabriel must have noticed it . " What is the situation ? Listen , man , Olivia is not here . Has she gone missing again ? " Gabriel asked , sounding worried .

" It's not that , " Levi cut in quickly . " Then what is it ? " Gabriel sneered . From where I stood , I remained silent , while my brothers exchanged glances with me like they needed my approval . But I said nothing . I just looked away . Louis continued , " Olivia … has some memory loss . In fact , she has false memory . She doesn't remember us . She doesn't even know who we are . In fact … " He paused and inhaled deeply . " She thinks you're her mate and husband .

She thinks we kidnapped her . " 2 There was a long , heavy silence on the other end of the call . I could hear Gabriel breathing . Nothing else . Not a damn sound . Then came the sharp exhale . " You're joking ," he said flatly . " I wish I was ," Louis muttered . 14:48 1/7 < 119 calming Her Down " You're telling me ," Gabriel said slowly , his voice turning darker with each word , " that Olivia your Olivia - has forgotten everything … and she thinks I'm her mate ?

" " She screamed it at us , actually , " Levi muttered bitterly . " Over and over , " Louis added . " She doesn't remember anything , Gabriel . Not us . Not the pack . Nothing . Just you . " I remained silent , my jaw clenched . My eyes burned , not with sadness but with pure rage . Rage that she had screamed his name and not mine . Rage that the only face her mind had clung to … was his . Gabriel laughed . A short , disbelieving , annoying laugh . " Well , isn't that just fantastic .

Of all people , her brain decides I'm the one she trusts ? " 1 " We hate you , " Levi reminded him bluntly . " Mutual , Levi , " Gabriel shot back . " I didn't call you for hugs . " " We called you ," Louis corrected sharply . " Whatever ," Gabriel sounded tired now . " This is a mess ." " No shit ," I muttered under my breath . Then his tone shifted , sounding serious . " Put her on the phone . " " What ? " Levi and Louis said simultaneously . " Let me talk to her .

If she thinks of me , then maybe I can say something that jogs something useful . Or calm her down . You said she's terrified of you . Let me try before I come there." I looked away , grinding my teeth . Every part of me hated this . Hated giving him access to her. Hated that he might be the only one she'd actually listen to . 14:48 2/7 < 119 calming Her Down But she was terrified of us . And if he could help her remember … I sighed heavily . " Fine .

But if you say something against us- IT " I won't ," Gabriel said . For once, he didn't sound smug . " Just … give her the phone . " " Fine ! " I gave my brothers a nod . We walked back to the room with the phone gripped in my hand like it was the blade of the very pain tearing through my chest . I could hear Olivia's soft , panicked whispers even before I opened the door . She was pacing . Frightened . Lost . " She's not going to want to talk to us , " Levi murmured beside me .

I nodded once . " She won't have to . " We entered her room , and her eyes snapped to mine . Wide . Guarded . She took a step back . " Gabriel's on the phone , " I said quietly , my voice tighter than I intended . Her eyes widened . " Gabriel ? " she gasped , nearly dropping the glass of water in her hand . " My Gabriel ? " I couldn't even look at her . " Yes ," I muttered , putting the phone on speaker and placing it on the table . She ran to it like her life depended on it .

Her hands were shaking as she clutched the edge of the table , tears streaming down her face . " Gabriel ? " her voice cracked . " My love ? It's you , right ? It's really you ? " 14:48 317 < 119 calming Her Down My wolf growled deep inside me , writhing in agony . She called him ' my love ' . It felt like a knife slowly turning in my chest . " I'm here , Olivia , " Gabriel's voice came through the speaker - calm , steady , almost gentle . " Hey , baby . I'm right here .

" 3 A sob broke free from her throat . " They took me , Gabriel . They kidnapped me . I - I don't know where I am . I'm so scared . You have to come get me . Please . You said you'd never leave me - why did you let them take me? " She was trembling now , clutching the table like it was her lifeline . Gabriel was quiet for a moment . Then his voice came again , softer . " Liv … listen to me , okay ? They didn't kidnap you . " " They did ! They're lying !

They say you're not my mate - they say I belong to them . But that's not true , right ? " Her voice was desperate , crumbling . " They're your husbands ," Gabriel said calmly . " No ! " Olivia shouted , backing away from the phone . " Stop lying to me ! I don't know them ! I want you ! I only remember you ! " She curled into herself , weeping . I couldn't take it anymore . I turned away , staring at the wall , my fists clenched so tight my nails broke skin .

But then … Gabriel did something none of us expected . He sighed . " Okay . Okay , Liv . You're right . I was joking . Alright ? " She sniffled , pausing . " They're not your husbands . They're my friends ." " What ? " Louis whispered . 14:48 4/7 < 119 calming Her Down Gabriel continued smoothly . " They're helping me protect you . The pack's in danger . A war is coming , Olivia . I had to send you somewhere safe- somewhere no one would expect . That's why you're with them .

Because I trust them . " a She blinked , her breathing shaky . " You trust them ? " " I do . They won't hurt you , Liv . I promise . They're my friends … and so they'll protect what's mine . " Her body began to relax slightly . " So … I'm safe ? " " Yes . You're safe . Just breathe , baby . You're okay . " She smiled faintly through her tears . " I was so scared , Gabriel … I thought something happened to you . I - I kept thinking about you … I still want to fight with you .

I want to protect you , too ." " I know , " Gabriel said . " And you will . But right now , I need you to rest . Trust them . For me ." She nodded slowly , wiping her tears . " Okay … okay . I trust them . For you . " I swallowed hard , my heart aching . Gabriel had done what none of us could : made her believe . Calmed her . And it killed me inside . The silence after her last words was thick - like the air itself held its breath . Olivia had stopped crying , and her trembling had slowed .

She sat near the table now , her hand resting gently against the phone as though just touching it would keep Gabriel close . " I want to see you , " she whispered , her voice soft , pleading . " Can you come get me now ? " 14:48 5/7 119 calming Her Down On the other end , Gabriel hesitated . Then , with maddening ease , he answered , " Not yet , Liv . I wish I could , but I can't come right now . It's not safe - for either of us ." Her lips trembled again . " But - why ?

" " Because the war's just starting . I need to stay here and lead the others . Bu I'll call you every day . I'll talk to you until this is over . And when the war ends … " His voice dropped into a gentle promise . " I'll come get you myself . I swear ." Her entire face softened like a storm giving way to sunlight . " You promise ? " " I do , " he said . " You're mine . I'd never leave you behind . " And then … she smiled . This small , heartbreaking smile , full of hope and longing .

" I love you , " she murmured . A blade twisted inside my chest . I froze . My wolf howled in agony , clawing inside my chest . She said she loves him . Olivia - our mate - had never said that to us . Not once . Not even when she had her memories . But she had said it to him . Freely . Softly . As if it had always been true . " I love you too , Olivia , " Gabriel replied , his voice low and smooth . " I always will . " Olivia smiled a big , bright smile .

" I have to go now , dear … I'll call tomorrow , okay ? Be a good girl for me, alright? " 14:48 6/7 119 calming Her Down Olivia nodded . " Yes , darling . I will . " 1 My heart sank , and the call ended . Comentario 13 A ¡ Publica tu primer comentario ! 3 Votar 0 1 Fans Desliza a la izquierda para continuar > Ver Todo >
