Fated To Not Just One, But Three-Chapter 248: Never Loved Her

Lennox’s POV

Sofia...! It was really her.

Even though we hadn’t seen her in more than three years, we recognized her instantly. Nothing had changed. She still looked just like Olivia... just an older version. Same eyes. Same nose. Same soft lips that used to curl into the same kind of smile that made everything else disappear.

My chest tightened the moment I stared at her. It was like seeing a ghost. A ghost of Olivia...

Then suddenly, everything shifted. Damien panicked and rushed forward, scooping Sofia into his arms like she weighed nothing. Her body was limp, her eyes half-closed.

"Call the healers!" he shouted at the nearest guard, his voice sharp with fear.

Before we could ask anything, he turned and sprinted into the mansion with her in his arms. My brothers and I exchanged confused looks. No one said a word. But we all followed.

By the time we reached Damien’s room, he was already kneeling beside Sofia on the bed, clutching her hand tightly.

"She’s burning up," he whispered, brushing her hair back from her forehead. "Come on, baby. Stay with me..."

His voice cracked. The fear in his eyes wasn’t fake. The pain in his expression wasn’t fake. He still loved her. He never stopped.

So why? Why did he marry Rebecca? Why bring her here and call her his Luna when his heart clearly still belonged to someone else?

The healers rushed in behind us and began their work. One of them placed glowing hands over Sofia’s chest, while another crushed herbs into a paste.

Damien didn’t move from her side. He kept whispering to her unconscious form like she could hear every word.

"You’re safe now. I won’t let anything happen to you again... I promise."

I stared at the scene, frozen. And then—my mind jolted.

Rebecca. Where was Rebecca? Last we heard... she was taken. By Damien’s enemies. We thought he’d be the one panicking, calling the search teams, turning the whole territory upside down. But he wasn’t. He hadn’t even mentioned her since Sofia arrived.

My heart dropped.

"Shit," I muttered. I made a mind link to Clark.

"Get Dustin. Both of you to the CCTV room—now," I said. "Tell the search team to search for Rebecca. We need Rebecca found immediately. Double the patrols at the borders."

"What happened?" Clark asked quickly.

"Just do it!" I snapped and hung up.

I looked back at Damien. He hadn’t moved from Sofia’s side. His wife was missing, possibly in danger—and he hadn’t even noticed. He was too lost in Sofia.

And in that moment, one thing became painfully clear... he never really loved Rebecca.

Levi spoke. "Who do you think took Rebecca? We have to find her, remember?" Levi sounded frustrated, but Damien didn’t utter a word. He just kept staring at Sofia as if if he looked away, she would disappear.

Levi frowned and I spoke. "I have ordered the patrol team to look for her...Let’s check the CCTV room," I said.

Louis and Levi nodded, but Damien didn’t care... he didn’t even utter a word or show any concern, rather, his attention was solely on Sofia. For a moment, I was glad she was back because she will have to clear the misunderstanding Damien had about us telling her his secrets.

We rushed straight to the CCTV room, our footsteps echoing down the hallway like thunder. None of us spoke. We were all tense—angry, confused, afraid. All for a stranger.

Clark and Dustin were already inside, standing near the main monitor with worried expressions. As soon as they saw us, they stepped back and gave me room.

"Pull up the last two hours of footage," I ordered. "Start from the garden."

The CCTV operator nodded and began tapping quickly on the keyboard. The screen blinked and switched to a view of the garden. There was Rebecca and Levi having a conversation.

My brow furrowed, and seconds later—he kissed her. Deeply... passionately.

My jaw clenched. I turned slowly to Levi. He looked away and sighed.

"It just happened," he muttered. "I didn’t plan it. I just..."

He didn’t explain more. He didn’t have to. I couldn’t judge him. Because what he didn’t know was—I had kissed her too. And none of us had told the others.

I looked back at the screen, shaking the thought away. "Rewind," I said. "I want to see what happened after she left."

The footage played. Rebecca walked out of the garden and headed toward the training field, arms crossed, like she was lost in thought. Then, from the edge of the screen, three masked men appeared—fast, silent.

"What the hell—" Louis muttered under his breath.

We all leaned forward. The men cornered her quickly. One grabbed her arms while the second pulled something out of his pocket. A cloth. He pressed it over her nose and mouth.

Rebecca struggled, tried to scream—but within seconds, she went limp. Unconscious.

"Damn it!" Levi snapped, punching the wall.

"Follow them," I said urgently.

The footage jumped as the guard changed the camera angle. We saw the men dragging Rebecca through a back path. Then—one by one—they climbed over the high fence with her.

The next camera switched to the outside of the gate. And there... we saw it. A black car waited by the edge of the woods. One of the men popped the trunk while another carried Rebecca’s limp body and placed her inside.

The trunk shut with a loud slam. A few seconds later, the others jumped over the fence and all three ran toward the car. Then they drove off.

Silence filled the room. No one moved. No one breathed.

I stepped back from the monitor, my fists clenched. "They planned this. They were waiting for her to be alone."

Louis cursed softly. "They dared enter our pack house."

Levi didn’t say anything. He just kept staring at the screen like he wanted to burn it.

"She’s been gone for almost an hour," I said. "And Damien... he didn’t even notice."

I swallowed hard, feeling the storm of anger growing in my chest.

"I want the scent tracked immediately," I ordered. "Send the best wolves out. I want that car found. I want every border locked down. Nobody gets in or out without clearance."

Dustin and Clark nodded and rushed out.

And then I looked at my brothers. "We need to have a talk with Damien now..." I said, and didn’t wait for them to speak before leading the way out.
