Lennox's POV
I was shocked.
Stunned.
Completely unprepared.
For a second, I forgot to breathe.
I stared at Levi. His face was calm, but I could see it in his eyes. Even he looked unsure about the order he had just given. This was not planned. This was not discussed between them before the feast.
Louis sat beside him, clearly surprised. His brows were pulled together as he glanced at Levi, then back at me.
This made no sense.
Olivia did not need a personal guard.
She was powerful. Strong. Dangerous when pushed. She could protect herself better than most warriors in this pack. Assigning a guard to her felt unnecessary.
So why me?
Why Kaine?
Golden suddenly stepped forward.
"Alpha, there is a problem," he said carefully.
Levi lifted a brow, his sharp eyes moving to Golden. "What problem?"
Golden bowed slightly before continuing. "Kaine lost his mate some time ago. The pain was too much. He lost his wolf in the process. He is… wolfless."
The entire field went quiet.
