(Olivia’s POV)

    “No,” I choked out, tears streaming down my face.

    My trembling lips were instantly captured by his. Matthew’s kiss was urgent and deep, unlike any before. It stirred something in the depths of my heart that I’d tried so hard to bury.

    I tried to push him away, but he caught my hands effortlessly.

    A soft whimper escaped me. I couldn’t help it.

    He pulled back, our foreheads touching. His heavy breaths and intense gaze enveloped mepletely.

    The armored vehicle was filled with a tense, cold, and ambiguous atmosphere.

    I had never seen him like this. His usually calm golden eyes zed with a mixture of desire and anger.

    Frightened, I recoiled. But he only moved closer.

    “Tell me clearly,” he demanded, his voice rough. “What were you going to do?”

    I tried to look away. He kissed me again, stealing my breath until I was limp in his arms.

    When the vehicle finally stopped, he carried me out.

    We were at the Sovereign’s Club. Inside, Aurora and Nora were ying while Matron Briar prepared dinner.

    “I’m sorry I can’t exin more. I’m sorry I can’t stay. But I don’t regret you. I never will. Please… please take care of yourself. And don’t waste your anger on me. Just… live, Dane. Live the life you deserve.”

    My lips trembled as I added in a whisper:

    “I love you, Dane… Goodbye.”

    I lowered my head, and the camera caught a single tear sliding down my cheek before L stopped recording.

    I wiped at my damp cheeks, forcing myself to face L’s phone again. My chest ached as I breathed his name.

    “Callum…”

    A broken smile curved on my lips. “I don’t even know if you realize what you did to me. You came into my world like a storm—loud, unshakable, impossible to ignore. And I thought I’d hate you for it. But instead… I fell for you. I didn’t even know when it happened. One day I was resisting, fighting, arguing with you at every turn… and the next, I couldn’t imagine my days without you in them.”

    My voice quivered, and I blinked hard, trying to see through the blur of tears.

    “You’re stubborn, infuriating, and so damn proud… but you’re also gentle when no one else is watching. And every time you held me close, every time you whispered my name like it meant something, I believed you. I believed I was worth something. With you, I wasn’t a burden. I wasn’t an omega. I was… yours.”

    I pressed a trembling hand to my chest. “But Callum… there’s so much you don’t know about me. I wasn’t honest with you. I was never truly an omega. That life, that story you thought you knew about me—it wasn’t all real. There are parts of me I couldn’t share, secrets I had to keep. And now… I’m going home.”

    A sob rose in my throat, and I shook my head slightly, my lips trembling. “By the time you see this, I’ll already be gone. But don’t worry about me. I’m fine. Nothing bad happened to me. I just… can’t stay.”

    I inhaled shakily, fighting to keep my voice steady. “Yes, my heart is torn between three men. That’s the truth. But if there’s one thing I know for certain, it’s this—I love you, Callum. I will always love you. And even if the world keeps us apart, that love won’t fade. Not for me.”

    Tears blurred my vision, spilling freely now. “Please forgive me. Please don’t let this destroy you. Move on. Live your life, even if it’s without me. You deserve happiness, even if I can’t be the one to give it to you.”

    My voice cracked into a whisper. “I’ll miss you more than I can ever say. Goodbye, Callum. I love you.”

    I lowered my head, and the camera caught another tear sliding down my cheek before L ended the recording.

    I stared at L’s phone, my reflection trembling across the screen. My lips parted, but no words came for a long moment. Then finally, I whispered his name.

    “Nathan…”

    The sound broke me. Tears rushed to my eyes. “Four years ago… the first time I saw you, it was at that festival. You probably don’t even remember. But I do. You were breathtaking. I was just a girl, fourteen, but I told myself right then—this is the most handsome boy on earth.”

    A wateryugh slipped out, choked with sadness. “But then as the days went on, your attitude… it felt like you hated me. And I believed it. I believed you couldn’t stand me. Until a few weeks ago… when I realized the truth. You didn’t hate me. You were scared of loving me.”

    My lips trembled. “Nathan, I never thought you could love me the way you did. But you showed me what real love is. You showed me what it means to be seen, to be chosen, to be cherished. Nathan… you are my perfect man. If there were another life, I would want to spend thousands of eternities with you. Just you.”

    My breath caught, but I pressed on. “But, Nathan, there are pieces of me you never knew. I carried secrets because I was afraid of losing you. I wasn’t the omega you thought I was… my story wasn’t what I made it seem. And now, I have to return to where I truly belong.”

    I swallowed hard, tears spilling freely. “By the time you see this, I’ll already be gone. But I swear to you, I’m fine. Nothing bad has happened to me. I just… can’t stay.”

    I wiped my cheeks, though fresh tears kepting. “My mother told me you asked for my hand in marriage.” My lips trembled as I whispered, “Please… please marry someone worthy of you. Someone who can stand by your side without secrets or lies. Someone who deserves the man you are.”

    I pressed a hand against my heart, whispering through my sobs. “Be the Alpha you were born to be, Nathan. Step into it fully. Because wherever I am, I want to hear about you. I want to hear how powerful you’ve be.”

    My voice shook, breaking apart. “Yes… my heart is torn between three men. But if there’s one thing I know for certain—it’s this: I love you, Nathan. I love you so much. More than words, more than life, more than myself. And I always will.”

    A final sob left my lips as I whispered: “Goodbye, my love.”

    The phone captured every tear streaming down my face before L quietly stopped the recording.
