Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 580

Chapter 580: Keep The Act On

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.

Wolfless.

That single word changed everything.

Murmurs spread among the warriors.

"A wolfless guard?" "How can he protect the Luna?" "That is dangerous..." "Why would Alpha Levi—"

Louis stiffened in his seat.

Levi’s eyes snapped back to me, sharper now. More focused.

"You have no wolf?" he asked.

I kept my face calm, my voice composed. "Yes, Alpha."

That part was not a lie.

I did not have my wolf yet.

Levi studied me again, longer this time. I could almost hear his thoughts working. A wolfless warrior guarding the Luna made no sense. It was risky. It was foolish.

For a moment, I thought he would take the order back.

But then Levi spoke.

"That changes nothing," he said firmly.

Golden blinked. "Alpha?"

Levi stood fully now, his voice carrying authority. "Strength is not only a wolf. Discipline, control, and loyalty matter just as much. Kaine has shown all three tonight."

My chest tightened.

Louis opened his mouth slightly, then closed it again. He did not argue. But his eyes flickered with doubt.

Levi looked straight at me.

"You will not rely on a wolf," he said. "You will rely on skill. On awareness. On obedience."

"Yes, Alpha," I replied.

My voice did not shake, but inside me, everything was screaming.

Guard Olivia.

Without revealing myself.

Without speaking to her as Lennox.

Levi turned to Golden. "You will personally oversee his duties."

Golden bowed. "Yes, Alpha."

Then Levi added something that made my stomach drop.

"And Kaine will stay inside the mansion."

Inside.

Close.

Too close.

Levi’s gaze hardened slightly. "If he fails, he answers to me."

"I understand," I said.

Levi nodded once. "You are dismissed. Report to the Luna’s quarters at first light."

With that, he sat back down.

The decision was final.

The crowd slowly returned to noise, but it sounded far away to me now. My ears rang. My heart pounded.

Golden stepped closer to me, lowering his voice. "This is dangerous."

"I know," I whispered back.

"But useful," he added.

Golden exhaled slowly, like he had been holding his breath the whole time.

"For now," he said, "I’ll step back. I can’t be seen guiding you too closely. From here on, Noah will be your buddy. I have already informed him."

I nodded once. "Alright."

A few moments later, a tall warrior approached us. He had broad shoulders, sandy hair, and a calm expression. His eyes flicked over me once, quick and curious, but not suspicious. He seemed like a new guard. Maybe he was recruited while I was still unconscious, because I didn’t know him.

"This is Noah," Golden said. "He’ll take you to your room and explain the rules."

Noah bowed slightly. "Follow me."

Golden looked at me one last time. Then he stepped away, disappearing back into the crowd of warriors.

Noah led me through the mansion grounds. The place felt different at night. Quieter. Heavier. Like the walls themselves remembered what had been lost.

We entered through a side door and walked down a long hallway. We climbed the stairs to the second floor. My footsteps echoed softly against the stone. Noah stopped in front of a simple wooden door and pushed it open.

"This will be your room," he said.

Inside was a clean guest room. A bed. A desk. A small wardrobe. Nothing special. Nothing personal.

Temporary.

Just like Kaine.

Noah stood by the door and began explaining calmly, like this was routine.

"You’ll follow mansion rules. No wandering at night. No entering restricted areas without permission. Meals will be provided."

He paused, then added, "Since you’re assigned as the Luna’s personal guard, you’ll eat the same food as the royal family. Lucky you."

I almost laughed inwardly.

He continued, "By seven in the morning, you must be at the Luna’s door. Her chambers are on the fifth floor. First door on the left."

My chest tightened, but I gave a short nod. "Understood." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Noah turned to leave, then hesitated at the door. He glanced back at me, his voice lowering slightly.

"For your own good," he said, "don’t annoy the Luna."

I lifted my eyes to him.

"She’s still mourning Alpha Lennox," he continued quietly. "She hasn’t left her room since he was buried. Not even once."

With that, he turned and left, leaving me alone in the room.

I took a deep breath and sat on the bed. I closed my eyes and began to wonder if this was worth it. Should I just stop this charade and tell them who I really was? Olivia was wallowing in pain for me, and the thought of that was killing me.

No.

I shook my head.

Someone wanted me dead. Someone had planned to kill me, and I needed to know who.
