Chapter 462: Leftovers?
Olivia's POV
It had been two long days since | started the ritual. Every morning, | cut my palm and let one drop of my blood
fall into Lennox’s mouth, just like the witch toldto. She said my blood would help him find his way back—that
it carried the last bit of our broken bond. But nothing had changed yet. Lennox still lay there, quiet and pale. His
chest moved slowly, but he didn’t wake.
| sat beside him, holding his hand. My heart hurt, but | refused to give up. "Please," | whispered, tears running
down my face. "Moon Goddess, please help him. Let him cback to me. I'll give anything."
Behind me, | heard footsteps—Levi and Louis. They had stopped trying to talkout of it. Now they only
watched from the corner, their faces full of worry. | didn’t turn around. | just kept my eyes on Lennox.
"You once toldyou'd always find your way back to me," | said softly, brushing my hand across his face. "So
do it, Lennox. Find your way home."
The candlelight flickered. The air around us felt different—like something was starting to move. Or maybe... | was
only dreaming. Still, | stayed there, hoping, waiting, believing.
"Olivia, you need to please eat," Levi pleaded the moment | stood up from the bed beside Lennox.
Louis nodded gently. "Yes, dear... you've not eaten since yesterday."
I sighed, shaking my head. It wasn’t that | didn’t want to eat—I just couldn't. My stomach turned at the thought
of food. Too much was happening, and the last thing | could worry about was a meal.
"I'll eat when I'm hungry," | said quietly.
Neither of them liked that answer. Levi's jaw tightened, and he stepped closer, his voice low. "You say that every
time, and you never eat. You're going to collapse, Olivia."
| frowned, glancing at him. "I'm fine."
"You're not fine," he said, louder this time. "You're hurting yourself!"
His tone startled me. Levi rarely raised his voice—not at me. He ran a hand through his hair, frustrated. "Do you
even see us anymore?" he asked softly, his voice cracking. "Or are we just shadows standing beside your pain?"
| blinked, not sure what to say. Louis's eyes darted between us, but he stayed quiet. Levi took another step
toward me, his face filled with exhaustion and raw pain.
"I know you love him, Olivia. We all do. But we're your mates too. We've been here every minute, watching you
fall apart—and it’s killing us."
My throat tightened. "Levi..."
"No," he cut in, his voice trembling. "Do you know what it feels like to hold you, to see you break, and still know
that no matter what | do, I'll never be enough to take that pain away? That even when | touch you, you're still

Tears blurred my vision. "That's not fair," | whispered.
He gave a weak, bitter smile. "Neither is watching the woman I love bleed for another man—even if that man is
my brother."
Silence. The kind that makes breathing hard.
| stared at him, anger and disbelief twisting in my chest. "How could you even say that?" My voice rose before |
could stop it. "How could you be jealous of your own brother—when he’s fighting for his life?"
Levi blinked, stunned. "Jealous?" he repeated, his tone low.
"Yes!" | shouted, my voice breaking. "That's what this sounds like! You're standing here talking about how | make
you feel unseen when he’s lying there between life and death!"
Louis stepped forward, trying to calm the situation. "Olivia, he didn’t mean it that way."
| turned on him too, my chest heaving. "Then how did he mean it, Louis? Because I'm trying to save his brother,
your brother, and somehow that’s a problem now?"
Louis’s voice stayed calm but firm. "No one said it’s a problem. But you're acting like we don’t exist, like Lennox
is the only one who matters. Like he’s your real mate, and we're just... what? Leftovers?"
| froze. "Leftovers?" The word burned in my ears.
Louis sighed, his own pain showing now. "You know that’s not what | mean."
"Then why say it?" | snapped, my voice shaking. "Do you really think that little of me? Of us?"
Levi stepped closer, his face pale. "We don’t, Olivia. But it’s hard—watching you pour everything into him when
we're right here, bleeding with you. You haven't even looked at us the ssince—"
"Since what?" | interrupted, tears spilling. "Since you took away my bond? Since you decided forwhat was
best?"
The room went still. | took a shaky breath, my voice breaking as | shouted, "You think | don’t see you, Levi? You
think I don’t feel you, Louis? You're wrong. | feel everything. The pain. The loss. The guilt. But this—this isn’t
jealousy! This is love! If either of you were lying here instead of Lennox, | would be doing the exact sthing!"
Louis shook his head slowly, his

Levi flinched. Louis's fists tightened at his sides.
"He wouldn't stand here counting affection," | went on, my voice trembling. "He'd be helpingsave you!
That's who he is! That's why |—" | stopped, my voice choking on the words.
Silence fell again—the kind that made the air too heavy to breathe.

Louis's mouth opened slightly, shocked. Levi stared atlike I'd stabbed him straight through the chest. |
hadn't meant it. Not like that. But it was too late.
Levi stepped back slowly, shaking his head. His voice cout rough and heartbroken. "You really think that
little of us."
"Levi—" | reached for him, guilt flooding through me, but he turned away.
Louis’s voice was low, trembling with hurt. "We'd die for him, Olivia. Just like we'd die for you. But | guess you
don’t believe that anymore."
Neither of them said another word. And as they walked out, | felt the room grow colder—like another piece of my
heart had been ripped away.
| turned back to Lennox, clutching his hand tightly. "Please," | whispered, my tears falling on his skin, "cback
soon... before | lose everyone."
