Lennox's POV
The air in the room was thick with the scent of fear. Levi looked like he wanted to punch the wall, and Louis looked like he was about to collapse. Seeing them like this—seeing my brothers, my lieutenants, my family, shattered—was worse than the diagnosis.
"I have to see a doctor first," I said, my voice cutting through their panic with the last of my Alpha authority. "A human specialist. Someone who knows how to fight this without a wolf's help."
"Lennox, we have to tell Olivia," Louis choked out, his eyes red. "We promised her no more secrets. This is the biggest secret there is."
"No," I snapped, then winced as a sharp pain flared behind my eyes. "Not yet. I have my reasons. If I tell her now, she'll spend the rest of the day mourning me while I'm still standing. I want to know exactly what we're facing before I break her heart again. We see the doctor first."
