Levi's POV
The moment Olivia slammed the link shut, I felt it — an unbearable pain. I tried again, pushing gently against the bond, but nothing came back. She had blocked me — blocked us.
My chest tightened, but I forced myself to breathe. Unlike Lennox, who paced the study like a caged wolf, and Louis, whose fists were clenched so hard his knuckles had gone pale, I sat still. Calm on the outside, but inside I was worried.
"Damn it, Levi!" Lennox snapped, his voice sharp. "She cut us off again. You felt it, right? She's not listening."
I nodded once. "I felt it." My voice was even, steady, though the storm inside me threatened to spill over.
Louis slammed his fist against the table. "We shouldn't have let it get this far. She's hurting, and instead of protecting her, we made her think we were against her."
