Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 266: How It Happened (Damien’s)

Louis's POV

The moment we stepped into the living room, Lennox barked, his voice sharp and filled with anger.

"Mother! Father! Damien!" he roared, loud enough to shake the walls. "Get in here—NOW!"

His chest was heaving, his fists clenched, and his eyes were glowing with rage.

Levi and | stood beside him, silent, but equally seething. We knew exactly what this was about.

We needed answers.

And this time, no one was leaving this room until every secret was dragged out into the light.

Footsteps echoed on the stairs. Damien appeared first. | didn’t waste a second—I attacked him and smashed my

fist into his face.

Our parents, who had just entered, froze in shock, but before Damien could even stumble back from the blow, |

grabbed him by the collar, yanked him forward, and snarled right into his face.

"How dare you!" | spat in rage. My wolf growled angrily inside me.

"You changed Olivia's face with Rebecca’s and made us believe she was dead! You bastard!" | spat with pain and

anger. It hurt so much that our favorite uncle could stab us this way. "You knew who Olivia was all this while,

didn’t you? Speak! Fucking speak!" | yelled.

But Damien didn’t flinch; he didn’t even look startled—like he'd been waiting for this confrontation all along.

Damien pulled my hand away from his collar and arranged his shirt before darting his eyes betweenand my

brothers. "I'll go straight to the point without cutting corners," he said casually.

My glare deepened. My wolf howled, rattling my bones, but | forced myself to stand still and listen.

"| didn’t know who Olivia was when | first saw her at that auction. | bought her because she looked so much like

Sofia—I couldn't stand the thought of sbastard having her. The plan was simple at first: keep her as bait,

use her to draw Sofia out. But then | found out she was your mate. And that’s when everything changed. |

realized | could use her for my own revenge on you three..." He paused to drag in a breath. "I thought you three

betrayed me—told Sofia | couldn't father a child—so | swore I'd make you feel my pain. I'd make Olivia abandon

you so you'd know what betrayal felt like."

Lennox scoffed in anger. "I believe now you know we didn’t do it."

Damien nodded once. "I know. I'm sorry for that."

Levi groaned. "Keep your fucking sorry to yourself and keep talking."

A moment of silence hung in the air before he continued. "It was after Olivia left to stay with Gabriel that your

father... my brother, toldwho Olivia really was."

My brothers and | turned and glared at our father. His turn was coming.

We looked back at Damien.

He continued. "Through what your father said, he maderealize we were related to Olivia, and he thinks she is

the special one." Damien shifted slightly, then exhaled—his voice calm. "After your father toldwho she really

was," he said, "everything changed."

He looked at each of us slowly, almost as if he was weighing our reactions.

"Olivia..." he said her nsoftly. "She's the daughter of the family we were sworn enemies with. The very

bloodline our kind was taught to despise."

My chest tightened.

Of course.

It all made twisted, painful sense now.

"But that," he went on, "wasn’t what concerned me. What mattered more was the fact that our relatives wanted

her dead. And I..." He hesitated. "I couldn't let that happen."

We stared at him, frowning.

His jaw clenched slightly. "That was when Gabriel reached out to me."

"What did he want?" Lennox growled.

Damien met his eyes. "He toldthe truth... or at least, his version of it. That Olivia's real mother—" he paused,

"—was the one who murdered his mother."

My eyes widened slightly.

"He toldhe made a vow on her grave. That one day, he'd kill the daughter of the woman who destroyed their

family. Which is Olivia."

A cold shiver ran down my spine.

"And now," Damien continued slowly, "he’s got her locked in his cell. He says he’s finally going to fulfill that

promise. But..."

"But?" Levi snapped, his eyes blazing with anger. "He doesn’t want to kill her anymore."

We blinked.

"He's fallen in love with her."

My blood turned to ice. My wolf growled with jealousy.

"He's confused. He's tormented, stuck between love and loyalty," Damien added. "He knows killing her would

honor his sister and satisfy the pack that still cries for revenge. But keeping her alive... would betray them all."

His eyes met mine again, conflicted and heavy. "So he asked me: What do | do?"

| stared at him, the pieces finally fitting into place. My voice cout low, sharp.

"So... you killed Rebecca?"

Damien's eyes darkened slightly, but he shook his head. "I didn’t. Someone else did."

Just then our eyes fell on Sofia, who had been silently stunned. Her eyes were wide open. Damien looked at her

with concern flashing in his eyes before he turned away and looked back at us. "While | was still with Gabriel, my

men reached out toand informeda dead body was seen at my pack territory. And they said the body

looked like Rebecca... Lady Sofia’s friend."

"No!" Sofia cried out, her voice raw with disbelief, as she rushed at Damien. She grabbed him by the collar, her

hands trembling. "Tellyou're lying... TellRebecca isn’t dead!"

Her eyes were wild, filled with fear and pain, and her lips trembled as if the words themselves were hurting her.

"She can’t be dead... She can’t..."

Damien didn’t move. He just looked at her—his expression tight with guilt, pain flickering in his eyes. Slowly,

gently, he took her hands and pulled them off his shirt.

"I'm sorry," he said softly.

Sofia collapsed onto the floor, sobbing loudly.

None of us moved. The pain in the room was thick.

Damien ran a hand through his hair and exhaled, his voice cracking slightly now.

"After Gabriel toldeverything," he continued, "I told him | needed to go. That I'd return. | warned him not to

touch Olivia. Not to make a single move until | cback."

Lennox growled at him. "You could have informed us... we could have raged war on them and easily saved Olivia,

but you didn’t."

Damien nodded. "I could have done that... but her enemies were too much."

| shot him a glare that could have killed him where he stood. He looked down, then straightened, meeting our

eyes again.

"When | got to my pack... they had already brought the body in."

He paused, his voice tight. "It was really Rebecca."

My heart sank.

"Her neck had been sliced clean through. A knife. No bite. No mark. Just a blade." He looked away. "I didn’t know

what to feel. | hadn't seen her in years. She vanished, and now she was just... gone."

He swallowed hard. "Rebecca was like a sister to me."

There was a brief silence—one that carried both sorrow and anger.

"That's when the thought cto

He looked at us sharply.

"So | made a choice."

"And he agreed?" Lennox snapped.

Damien nodded. "He did. He was torn. But he agreed."

He drew in a long breath. "So | returned to Gabriel's pack. Took Olivia from the cell, and Gabriel placed Rebecca’s

dead body there... made it look like Olivia had taken her own life by slitting her throat."

My wolf growled.

"Gabriel's sister was furious. She demanded the dead body's head still be chopped. She wanted you three to see

her in a miserable state."

"So... Rebecca's head," | said, piecing the puzzle together.

Damien nodded grimly.

"They cut it off. Thinking it was Olivia’s dead body. And then... Gabriel had it delivered to your border for you

three to find."
