Lucian's POV
While Kael was away, we had to tighten security even more. We didn't know how long it would take for him to return.
It wasn't that we were weak without him — far from it — but he was the Alpha, and his presence carried weight, especially when there were people in this home we had to protect.
Our mate needed his protection the most, and we couldn't afford to risk anything. That was why Kael had always made sure to stay close to Eira. With him by her side, no one would ever dare think of coming for her. Anyone foolish enough to try would pay the price for touching the mate of a top-tier Alpha.
Jason and I kept ourselves busy with work, making sure that bastard Asher hadn't brought any hidden trouble after luring Kael away from the house. Still, deep down, we knew he wouldn't risk it. These were merely precautionary measures.
"Alpha Lucian, Dr. Liam is here," a guard reported as he entered the security office.
