NovelApexChapter 481: Where is he
Olivia's POV
The first thing | felt when | woke up was emptiness. A strange, hollow silence filled the room, too still, too cold.
Something was wrong. | sat up slowly, my body aching, my vision spinning for a second before clearing. The
healer’s words from earlier echoed faintly in my mind: "You can’t continue the ritual... it will harm you and the
child."
The child.
My hand drifted to my belly, but the warmth I'd felt there before was replaced by a sharp, twisting panic.
Something else was missing—something stronger.
Lennox.
My wolf stirred instantly, a low whimper rising in my chest. His scent... it's fading. | pushed the blanket off and
stood, ignoring the dizzy rush that followed. Selene tried to stopwhen | reached the door, but | brushed past
her.
"Olivia, wait—"
"No. Something’s wrong."
The hallway was too quiet, the air heavy. | reached Lennox’s door and pushed it open.

The bed was neatly made. The lights were out. His scent—faint, almost gone. My chest tightened painfully.
"No..." | whispered, stepping inside. "No, no, no."
| tore back the sheets, checked the corners, the window—nothing. My heart pounded so loud it drowned
everything else out.
"Selene!" | shouted. "Where is he?!"
She ran in, her eyes wide. "Olivia, please calm down—"
"Don’t tellto calm down!" | screamed. "Where is he?! Where is Lennox?!"
| was frightened. Was he dead? Why was he gone? Why was his scent fading like smoke? What was happening?
Selene grabbed my arm, trying to calm me, but | shook her off violently. "Our bond... it's gone," | whispered,
horror spreading through me. "I can’t feel him. | can’t feel anything. Even if something is wrong, | can’t tell."
"Lennox!" | screamed at the top of my voice, fear gripping me. Did he die? Did he die while | was asleep and they
took his body away?
Suddenly, Louis rushed in, and | grabbed him by the collar of his shirt before he could even speak.
"Where is Lennox!" | demanded, terrified.
Louis exhaled shakily. "Calm down, Oli... Lennox is fine. He's not dead."
"Then where is he?!" | cried. "Where did you take him?!"
Louis looked confused, like he didn’t know what to say—or he didn’t want to.
"Louis, where is he?" | demanded.
He sighed heavily. "Calm down, Olivia... Levi will be back soon."
My frown deepened. "Levi will be back? For what? Where did he go?"
Before he could answer, a voice cfrom behind me.
"Olivia."
| turned. Levi stood in the doorway, tall and tense—his eyes shadowed with guilt.
"Where is he?" | demanded.
He didn’t answer. The silence was annoying me.
"Levi!" My voice broke, tears stinging my eyes. "Tellwhere he is!"
He took a careful step forward. "You need to rest. Please."
"Rest?" | laughed bitterly, the sound shaking. "He's gone! His scent is gone! You think | can rest when he isn’t
here anymore?!"
Louis tried to reach me, but | pushed his hand away. "Don’t touch me!"
My heart was racing, my wolf clawing against my ribs. | turned back to Levi, tears blurring my vision. "You moved
him, didn’t you?"
He said nothing. Didn't deny it. Didn't even look surprised. And that silence was enough.
My knees went weak. "You... you took him away from me."
He swallowed hard, his jaw tight. "He's safe, Olivia. You need to believe me. He's alive, and he’s safe."
"Safe?" | whispered. "You had no right! None! You took away my chance to save him—"
"You already tried," he snapped, his voice rising. "And it almost killed you! It would've killed the baby!"
"Then so be it!" | shouted back, tears streaming freely now. "If that’s what it takes to bring him back, then so be
it!"
The words tore out ofbefore | could stop them. Levi's face twisted in pain, his eyes glistening.
"Do you hear yourself?" he said softly. "You'd rather die than live with us? You'd rather throw everything away for
a ghost?"
"He's not a ghost!" | cried. "I can feel him, Levi! He's still there, fighting, waiting for me—"
"And you think I don’t love him too?!" he shouted, his voice cracking. "You think | want him gone? You think this
is easy for me? You think | want to stand here and stop you from killing yourself?!"
The air in the room trembled with tension and pain. My heart felt like it was being split in two—half for the man
who lay lifeless, half for the one standing in front of me, breaking apart.
"You took him away," | whispered, "without my permission."
His gaze softened, but his voice stayed hard. "No, Olivia. | took away the thing that was destroying you."
My hand moved before | realized it. In the blink of an eye, | slapped him hard across the face.
The sound echoed. Everyone froze—even me.
Levi didn’t move. He just stood there, his cheek red, his eyes filled with quiet sorrow.
