Fated To Not Just One, But Three-Chapter 673: Another Baby

​Olivia’s POV 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

​I stood there, my heart thumping against my ribs like a trapped bird. I had spent all morning preparing this. I hadn’t told the boys yet; I wanted my three Alphas to have this moment first. They deserved to feel the joy of a new beginning after so many years of looking at death.

​As I walked into the study, the three of them looked up from a mountain of pack maps and legal documents. The air in the room was usually so serious, but their faces softened the second they saw me.

​"Olivia," Louis said, his voice deep and instantly concerned. He stood up to help me with the tray. "You shouldn’t be on your feet cooking. You were still pale this morning. You’re supposed to be resting."

​"I’m fine, Louis. Better than fine," I said, a mischievous spark in my eyes. I set the tray down on the massive oak desk, covering their paperwork. I had placed three identical plates on the tray, each covered with a silver dome.

​Lennox leaned back, a curious smile tugging at his lips. "What’s this? A midday bribe to get us to stop working?"

​"Something like that," I whispered. I moved behind them, my hands trembling just a little. "I told you I made your favorites. Go ahead. Open them together."

​Levi grinned, always the most eager. "If it’s those steak sliders you make, I’m going to be a very happy man."

​"On three," Lennox commanded, his Alpha tone playful. "One... two... three."

​They lifted the silver covers in perfect unison. But there was no steak. There were no spicy eggs.

​Inside each plate, resting on a bed of soft white silk, was a tiny, hand-knitted baby bootie. Lennox’s plate had a gold one, Levi’s had a silver one, and Louis’s had a dark charcoal one. Next to each bootie was a small, white strip of paper—the ultrasound photo I had secretly gotten from Dr. Kapoor that morning.

​The silence that followed was deafening.

​Levi’s jaw literally dropped. He picked up the silver bootie as if it were made of glass, his eyes darting from the tiny shoe to the photo. Louis went completely still, his hand hovering over the plate, his breath hitching in his chest.

​Lennox was the first to look up at me. His amber eyes were swimming with tears, a raw, powerful emotion breaking through his usual stoic mask.

​"Olivia?" he rasped, his voice cracking. "Is this... are you...?"

​"I’m pregnant," I whispered, the words finally tumbling out. "We’re having another baby."

​Levi let out a choked-back sob, half-laughing as he jumped up and pulled me into a fierce hug. "Another one? A little one? After everything?"

​Louis stood up slowly, his face filled with a kind of holy awe. He reached out, his hand trembling as he touched my stomach with the lightest pressure, as if he were afraid he’d wake a sleeping cub. "A new life," he breathed. "A fresh start."

​Lennox walked around the desk and wrapped his arms around all of us, pulling us into that tight, familiar circle. He pressed his forehead against mine, his scent of pine and strength overwhelming me in the best way.

​"I don’t care about the DNA," Lennox whispered, his voice vibrating with a vow. "I don’t care whose blood it is. This child is a gift to all of us. A sign that the darkness is truly gone."

​I cried then—tears of pure, unadulterated happiness.

​Lennox held me tighter, his voice a low rumble against my temple. "This time, I’ll be there for every second," he vowed. "I’m going to see every kick, hear every heartbeat. I’m going to be the father this baby deserves from day one."

​Levi pulled back just enough to look me in the eyes, his silver bootie still clutched in his hand. "And I’m going to be better, too," he whispered, his voice thick with emotion. "No more secrets to ’protect’ you. Just honesty. I’ll be the steady ground for you and this little one, I promise."

​Louis didn’t say much—he never did—but he leaned in and pressed a lingering, reverent kiss to my forehead. "I’ll be the shield," he muttered, his hand finally resting firmly over my womb. "Nothing touches this child. Nothing touches any of you ever again."

​Standing there, encased in their love and their promises, I felt like the luckiest woman in the world. We weren’t just fixing what was broken anymore; we were building something brand new.

​Later that day...

​We waited until the boys were finished with their afternoon lessons. We gathered them in the sun-drenched living room, the four of us sitting together on the large sectional sofa. Liam, Leon, and Leo sensed the shift in energy—their little wolf senses were already sharp. They scrambled onto the cushions, looking at us with wide, curious eyes.

​"Is someone in trouble?" Leon asked, his head tilted. "I didn’t break the vase this time, I swear."

​Lennox chuckled, reaching out to ruffle Leon’s hair. "No one is in trouble, buddy. We actually have some very big news."

​I leaned forward, holding out the ultrasound photo. "Do you remember how we talked about how special our family is? How you three are the heartbeat of this house?"

​The boys nodded solemnly.

​"Well," I said, my voice shimmering with excitement, "it seems the Moon Goddess thinks we have enough love for one more. You three are going to be big brothers."

​For a heartbeat, there was total silence. Then, the room exploded.

​"A baby?" Liam shouted, jumping up and down on the sofa. "Is it a boy? Can I teach him how to write? Can he sleep in our big giant bed?"

​"I want it to be a girl!" Leo chirped, scrambling into my lap to press his ear against my stomach. "I want to protect her like Dads protect you, Mommy."

​Leon looked at Lennox, his eyes shining. "Does this mean the house is going to be even louder?"

​"Much louder," Lennox laughed, pulling all three boys into a massive pile of limbs and fur as they started to play-wrestle in excitement.

​Levi and Louis joined in, the sounds of their laughter echoing off the walls. I sat back, watching my three Alphas and my three sons celebrate the news. The trauma of the last four years felt like a lifetime ago.
