<h4>Chapter 299: What’s Next</h4>


    Olivia’s POV


    I woke up to the ray of sunlight shing on my face. I groaned softly and turned my head away from the light, snuggling deeper into the familiarly alluring warmth around me. Slowly, I opened my eyes.


    Lennox was behind me, one arm wrapped tightly around my waist, his breath steady and deep against the back of my neck. His chest rose and fell in a slow rhythm, his face calm and peaceful in sleep.


    In front of me, Louisy on his side, facing me, hisshes brushing his cheeks, his lips slightly parted. His fingers were stillced with mine. He looked so calm... so beautiful. Like he hadn’t been awake all night loving me.


    Levi was curled at my feet, arms around my legs like a nket. His dark hair was tousled, and a soft snore slipped from his lips.


    I just stared at them for a moment, my heart swelling with something warm and heavy. I had them. All three. Right here.


    As if they could feel my gaze, Louis’s eyes blinked open first. He smiled sleepily, his voice rough. "Morning, angel."


    Before I could answer, Lennox groaned softly behind me, shifting as he nuzzled the back of my neck. "You’re awake?" he mumbled.


    I nodded gently.


    Then Levi stirred, stretching like a cat and letting out a soft yawn. His eyes opened slowly, and when theynded on me, he grinned. "We didn’t crush you, did we?"


    I giggled. "No. You just kept me warm."


    They all smiled.


    Levi was the first to get up as he sat on the bed, followed by his brothers. Slowly, I sat up but felt a little sore between my thighs. The triplets must have noticed it because they suddenly had that worried look on their faces.


    "We were hard on youst night, right?" Levi asked... sounding guilty.


    I quickly shook my head and gave him a warm smile. "That’s not true... you three did amazing... I couldn’t want anything less," I assured them.


    They looked relieved for a moment, but the worry never left their eyes.


    "And besides, I could just heal myself," I added with a smirk, "but I don’t want to."


    They all looked confused.


    I stretched my legs a little, wincing slightly at the soreness, but I didn’t mind it. Not even a little.


    "I want to feel it," I whispered, my voice softer now. "I want to remember how it felt... to be taken by all of you."


    That shut them up.


    Lennox swallowed hard, reaching out to tuck a loose strand of hair behind my ear. "You’re unbelievable," he murmured.


    Louis leaned forward and kissed my shoulder. "You’re everything."


    Levi scooted back onto the bed, sitting beside me again. "Still," he said, "next time, we’ll go easier on you."


    I chuckled and rolled my eyes. "Don’t make promises you can’t keep."


    They allughed—relieved, maybe, or just happy to hear me teasing them again.


    "I’ll run you a warm bath," Lennox said, already slipping off the bed.


    "I’ll get you something to eat," Louis added as he grabbed a pair of sweatpants and tossed one at Lennox.


    "I’ll stay right here," Levi said proudly, wrapping an arm around my shoulders and pulling me close. "Someone has to keep youpany."


    I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes for a moment.


    "Don’t touch her!" Lennox warned, heading to the bathroom.


    Levi smirked. "I can’t promise that."


    I blushed and sank deeper into his chest, inhaling the alluring smelling from him. We were both still naked, with just the nket covering us.


    Rxed in Levi’s arms, I sucked a deep breath as I wondered what life had in store for us from now... is it happily ever after or...


    "What are you thinking?" Levi asked, stroking my hair.


    I sucked a deep breath and lifted my head off his chest to hold his gaze. With Levi, I felt really open, like I could tell him anything... it has always been like that.


    "I’m thinking about the future," I said truthfully. "What happens from here?"


    Levi’s face was calm, but I could see the concern etched behind his calm expression. He tenderly cupped my face with both hands and shed me aforting smile.


    "I genuinely don’t know what the future holds," he said softly. "But I do know one thing—I’ll be right beside you through it all. We all will."


    His thumbs brushed against my cheeks, gently wiping away the tears I hadn’t even realized had slipped down.


    "You don’t have to worry about tomorrow, angel," he whispered. "Let us carry that weight with you. You’re not alone anymore."


    His words melted something inside me. I leaned forward and pressed my forehead against his. "Promise me," I murmured.


    "I swear it," he said without hesitation. "Even if the world turns against us, we’ll stand with you."


    Just then, Louis walked back into the room with a tray of food in his hands. "Did I miss something?"


    Levi chuckled but didn’t move away. "You always miss the best parts."


    Louis rolled his eyes but set the tray down on the nightstand. "I brought fruit, pancakes, and tea. Don’t say I never spoil you."


    Iughed gently and pulled the nket tighter around me. "You spoil me more than enough."


    Lennox stepped out of the bathroom. "Bath’s ready. I addedvender oil—you need to rx those muscles."


    Levi reluctantly let go of me, and I stood, wrapping the nket around myself. As soon as my feet touched the cold floor, Louis was there, lifting me into his arms.


    "You’re not walking today," he said with a wink.


    I giggled, letting him carry me into the bathroom like I weighed nothing. Steam filled the air, and the tub was full, the water topped with delicate rose petals and scented withvender and something sweet—jasmine, maybe.


    Louis set me down gently beside the tub, then kissed my forehead before stepping back. "We’ll give you a moment."


    I looked up at them, at all three of them standing in the doorway now. "You don’t have to go."


    Lennox’s eyes darkened. "If we stay, Olivia, we won’t let you bathe alone."


    Louis whistled. "And you looked sore already, angel."


    Leviughed behind them. "We’re trying to be good mates. For once."


    I bit my lip, feeling the heat crawl back up my neck. "Fine. Then go," I said yfully.


    Lennox smiled at me. "We’ll be right outside."


    As they left, I let the nket drop and slowly stepped into the warm water. A soft moan escaped my lips as I sank in, the heat soothing every aching muscle. I leaned back, breathing deeply, letting the scent and warmth wrap around me like their touch.


    With my eyes closed, Imunicated with my wolf.


    "So what now?" I asked.


    She responded immediately. "You tell me... what now?" She threw my question back to me.


    I released a soft sigh, not knowing what to say... this was supposed to be the part where everything starts falling into ce, but deep down I felt this phase of my life was actually going to be terrifying.


    Suddenly, I got a mind link.


    "Olivia."


    I tensed. It was Calvin.


    I swallowed hard andposed myself.


    "Yes?"


    He was silent for a moment before he spoke.


    "Someone is here to see you."
