Triple Fated: A Romance Novel

Chapter 408: The Bathroom

Olivia's POV

| felt like the third wheel. The whole dinner, Frederick only looked at Selene. He asked her question after

question. She smiled, she laughed, and she lied so easily—even about her family. | stabbed my fork into my food,

my wolf pacing inside me. | couldn’t take it anymore. Was he doing this to humiliatenow? To make me

jealous? "I need to use the bathroom," | said quickly, pushing back my chair.

| walked down the hall and into the bathroom. My hands gripped the sink as | stared into the mirror. My chest

rose and fell fast. If he was doing all those things to makejealous, then it was okay, but if he truly cared

about Selene, then we were in trouble. | scowled and stared at my reflection in the mirror as a thought came

through my mind. What if he wantsand still wants Selene? What do | do then? My frown deepened. |

reminded myself | needed to go back to my original plan, which was finding the vessel and destroying it. | can’t

believe Selene and her games...

Suddenly the door opened. Selene walked in, smirking.

"You don’t look well," she said sweetly. "Not able to stand it, I'll bet."

| turned on her, my eyes sharp. "Why aren’t you doing what we planned? Why haven't you made him drink your

poisoned blood?"

Her lips curved. "Why the rush, Olivia? You seem more upset than | am."

My anger flared. "He's falling for you," | hissed.

She tilted her head, mocking me. "So what? Or maybe... you're just jealous."

| scoffed. My wolf snarled. "Jealous? Don’t flatter yourself. I'm not jealous, okay? | just don’t trust you because

you're nothing but a lying whore."

Her eyes reddened and a big frown spread across her cheek, and before | could process it, she slapped me.

Something snapped inside me. My hand grabbed her hair, yanking hard. Before she could fight back, | slammed

her face into the wall. The sound echoed. She gasped, pain and shock flashing across her face. | let go of her.

Selene touched her cheek, her lip bleeding slightly, her face showing a small visible bruise. She glared at me.

"Get ready to pay," she spat before storming out of the restroom.

My wolf growled, pacing inside me, but | forced her down. This wasn’t the tto lose control. | shut my eyes

and reached through the bond to the triplets.

"I don’t trust her," | said firmly, letting my anger carry through. "Selene is dangerous. She’s not following the

plan. She’s playing her own game—and Frederick is falling for it."

Silence followed for a moment before Levi's voice came, calm but heavy. "Olivia, stay calm. We knew she'd play

it her way. As long as the poison gets into him, it doesn’t matter how she does it."

"No!" | snapped back. "You don’t understand. If she falls for him—or worse, if she decides to protect him—

everything will be ruined. | can feel it. | can’t trust her."

Lennox’s voice cut in, hard and commanding. "Then keep your eyes open. Don't let your guard down. If she

turns, we'll deal with her. Together."

Louis’ tone was softer, but it carried a warning edge. "Don’t let your emotions cloud you, Olivia. We can’t afford

mistakes now."

| cut the link off, frustrated, my chest tight. They didn’t see it the way | did. They didn’t feel it. But | knew—I

knew—Selene was a ticking bomb. Drawing in a sharp breath, | fixed my dress and headed back to the table.

But when | arrived, my stomach dropped. The table was empty. Frederick and Selene were gone. | walked

outside, heels clicking fast against the floor, and found nothing. The sleek black car was gone too. My brow

furrowed deep, my wolf bristling in alarm.

"Damn it," | hissed. Did Frederick just leavehere?

Closing my eyes, | teleported back to Frederick's mansion. The air shifted aroundas | landed inside the grand

living room. | lowered myself onto the couch, clutching my silver purse tightly in my lap. | knew they hadn't

reached the mansion yet. They were still on their way here, which was almost a fifteen-minute drive from the

restaurant. My fingers tapped restlessly against the purse. A knot twisted in my stomach.

Was Frederick really falling for her? Or was this a game—just to punish me? To makejealous? Either way, |

was done waiting to find out.

| waited for a few minutes, then | heard the sound of a car rolling into the mansion. They were back.

Frederick cin first, his face hard with anger, his eyes burning like rage. His chest rose and fell as if he had

been holding his rage back the whole ride. But what frozewasn’t him—it was Selene. She trailed in behind

him, her gown a little rumpled, her lip bleeding again. Worse—her face was marked with fresh scratches. Long,

red lines cut across her cheek.

My eyes widened. | hadn't done that. | only left her with a bruise, a small cut. This—this was far more than | had

given her. My wolf growled low. She staged this.

Frederick’s chest heaved as he glared down at me. His hand clenched into a fist at his side, so tight | could hear

the leather of his gloves strain.

| scoffed but said nothing. Frederick's voice shook the room. "You should apologize," he said, eyes burning.

| stood my ground and crossed my arms. "lI won't," | said loudly.

"You will apologize, Olivia. On your knees if you must. Or | swear, you'll regret testingtonight."

"Never!" | spat.

"If you won't apologize... then Selene will give back to you exactly what you gave her."

| blinked. "What?"

Frederick nodded once, his jaw tight. "I don’t care who you are. | am against injustice. If you don’t apologize to

Selene, she will smash your face on the wall just like you did to hers."
