120 What we did was wrong Lennox's POV 1 The line went dead , and with it , so did a part of me . She smiled after the call ended . A full , bright smile . Like nothing was wrong Like she hadn't just taken a dagger and stabbed it straight into my soul wit those three damn words . " I love you , Gabriel ." The sound of it kept echoing in my head , looping like a curse I couldn't exorcize . Olivia sat back , finally relaxed for the first time since she woke up .

Her hands weren't trembling anymore . Her breathing was even . She even gave a soft hum like she felt … safe . Because of him . She stretched slightly , then looked up at us like a doe blinking away the rain . " I'm … hungry , " she said , rubbing her stomach gently . " Could I … have something to eat , please ? " Nora and Lolita immediately stepped forward . " Of course . We will prepare something for you ." She smiled at them . " Thank you . " I watched her in silence .

She wasn't shaking anymore . The fear had passed . Her walls had lowered . And I - fool that I am - saw that as a chance . 14:48 1/8 < 120 What we did was wrong I stepped closer , dragging the nearest chair out and sitting across from She didn't flinch . That was something . She looked at me curiously . " You are Lennox , right ? " she asked . The words burned like acid . I forced a smile , even though my jaw ached from how hard I was clenchin it . " Yeah .

I'm Lennox ." She tilted her head , studying me with soft sea - blue eyes that held no recognition - no sign of connection . Just empty curiosity . " You're quiet ." I shrugged . " I was just … thinking . " She nodded . " I've been thinking too . About everything . About why I'm here It's strange , but … Gabriel said I'm safe . So , I'll trust you . " Her trust - given to me , but only because of him . I cleared my throat . " Can I ask you something ? " She blinked .

" Sure ." " What's the last thing you remember before waking up here ? " Her expression softened . A dreamy smile touched her lips . " I remember … lying with Gabriel . We'd made love . He held me so tightly , like I'd disappear if he let go . I remember falling asleep with his arms around me …. " She gave a little laugh , almost bashful . " Then I woke up in a strange bed . Alone . And here I am . " I couldn't breathe . My body went cold .

14:48 120 What we did was wrong How the hell did such memories make up in her head ? An event that never happened ! I felt my heart sink . I looked away quickly , afraid she'd see it in my eyes . Suddenly , Levi walked forward , holding a mirror toward her . " Look at the left crook of your neck and tell me how many marks you see ." Olivia took the mirror from Levi with a puzzled expression , her brows slightly furrowed .

She tilted her head , brushing aside the strands of her hai as she examined the left crook of her neck .. Then her lips parted . Her fingers froze against her skin . " One … two … " she murmured . Then her voice faltered . " Three ? " She turned to us , confusion darkening her features . " Why do I have three mate marks ? " Her eyes searched our faces , panic creeping into them again . " I remember only having one mark . What - what does this mean ?

" Levi stepped forward , his mouth opening as if to speak. " Olivia- " " No. " My voice was low but firm , stopping him . " Don't ." Levi looked at me , his face twisted in conflict . " I can't pretend , it's killing me , " he said through mind link . " Not now , " I said , my voice sharp through the mind link . " We can't risk overwhelming her . " Olivia's gaze ping - ponged between us , confusion deepening . 14:48 3/8 120 What we did was wrong I exhaled slowly , forcing calm into my tone .

" It's possible Gabriel marked you again . Sometimes , when wolves have strong bonds , the mark can … intensify . Multiply . Maybe you were injured , and he had to mark you again to strengthen the bond . " She blinked , trying to process that . " So …. the other two are also from him ? " " Could be , " I lied through my teeth , praying she'd believe it . She seemed to relax slightly , nodding slowly . " Okay … that makes sense . I guess . It just … surprised me , that's all .

" I nodded stiffly . " It's okay . You're safe ." Just then , the door creaked open . Anita stepped inside with her annoying presence , her eyes scanning the room before they landed on Olivia . " What is this I'm hearing ? " Olivia's eyes widened , then narrowed slightly . She looked at us , her eyes filled with curiosity . " Is she your wife? " My jaw clenched . Levi's and Louis ' too . At the exact same time , we all said , firmly- " No ." Anita blinked , clearly not expecting that .

" She's not our wife . Never was . Never will be ," I said , my voice colder than I intended . Olivia glanced between us and Anita , " But she has your marks ." Levi crossed his arms . " She is our concubine . " 14:48 4/8 < 120 What we did was wrong Anita huffed , but I shot her a warning glare , daring her to speak . Olivia frowned , clearly still confused . " You guys are not married yet ? " she asked , her questioning gaze fixed on us .

We three exchanged glances, not knowing if we were to say yes or no . Anita suddenly stepped forward . " They were once married , but she is dead . " My frown deepened as I glared at Anita . " Keep your mouth shut! " I sneered . Anita didn't care . Rather , she folded her arms and stared right at Olivia , who had a frown on her face - perhaps it seems she doesn't like Anita . Olivia's eyes stayed on Anita , her frown deepening . " How long has she been dead ?

" she asked , her voice low but clear . Anita shrugged like it didn't matter . " A little over a month ago ." The room went quiet . Too quiet. I could feel the storm building before Olivia even opened her mouth . Her body stiffened , her eyes moved to each of us - me , Louis , Levi - with a slow, cold look . And then she said it . " What kind of men take in a concubine just weeks after their wife dies ? " 2 My heart dropped . She didn't look sad . She didn't even look confused .

She looked angry . 14:48 5/8 < 120 What we did was wrong Really angry . " That's disgusting ," Olivia said , standing up now . " Gabriel would never do something like that . Never . Not even if he was broken . He would wait . He would grieve ." " Olivia- " Louis tried speaking . But she wasn't done . " You're saying you had a wife . A mate . And a month after she died , you brought in another woman? No. That's not grief . That's disrespect .

" I looked away , jaw tight , but Anita- of course - had to open her mouth again . " Actually ," she said , smirking just a little , " they took me as their concubine while their wife was still alive . " " What ? " Olivia turned to her sharply . " They didn't and never loved her , " Anita said with a shrug . " It was me they wanted . Besides , she could never satisfy them like I do ." Olivia stared at her for a second like she couldn't believe what she was hearing . Then she turned back to us .

" You did that ? " Her voice shook , but it wasn't from fear anymore . It was disgust . " Your mate was alive … and you still brought another woman into your bed ? " I opened my mouth . Nothing came out . There was nothing I could say that wouldn't sound worse . Now as I think about it , I realized how horrible I and my brothers were . Taking in Anita as our concubine just a few days after marriage . Fucking 14:48 6/8 < 120 What we did was wrong Anita in her presence on our wedding night ?

How did Olivia feel about all this ! She must have been so hurt but we ? We were blinded by revenge and didn't stop to even think . " Gabriel would never do that ," she said again , shaking her head . " He wouldn't even look at another woman if I was gone this early . He'd mourn me at least for a year . But you … you had a concubine . You slept with another woman before she was even gone . " Her words were like ice . They didn't scream . They didn't need to .

They cut deep , straight to the bone . " Wow ! " She sat back down slowly , turning her face away like she couldn't stand to look at us anymore . My frown deepened as I glared at Anita . She had just made things worse for us . " Louis , take Anita out of here before I snap her head off her neck ! " I growled to Louis through the mind link , and he obeyed , grabbing Anita's arm and dragging her out of the room . " Please , I would like to be alone … can you two leave too ?

" Olivia murmured , sounding angry . I exchanged a glance with Levi , who looked like he wanted to speak , but I subtly signaled him not to , and together we walked out of the room . 14:48
