Olivia's POV
It had been more than fifteen minutes.
I glanced at the clock again, my foot tapping restlessly against the floor. Still nothing. No sound of footsteps in the hallway. No sign of Frederick.
My stomach twisted. This was the first time they were truly alone together, and the thought made my wolf pace inside me, snarling.
What were they talking about? What could possibly take this long?
I didn't trust her.
The triplets might believe Selene, might think she was loyal to the plan, but me? I couldn't shake it. There was something about her I didn't trust.
What if she betrayed us?
What if this was her chance—to turn everything upside down while I sat here waiting like a fool?
My frown deepened. I desperately wanted to know. To hear. To see. Anything to prove she wasn't using this moment to tell Frederick the truth.
My wolf growled low, a warning. We should go. We should check. We should not trust her.
