NovelStartChapter 366 Uninvited Shadows +8 Pearls At dinner, everyone except Tessa and Grandpa sat stiffly, clearly affected by the oppressive alpha king aura Landon gave off. Even the clinking of cutlery against porcelain cwith an edge of nervous caution: More than once, Cedric tried to signal Tessa using the subtle eye tremors unique to the Frostmoon Pack hoping she'd help him get a word in with Landon, But Tessa either focused on cutting her steak or refilled Grandpa's glass, never once acknowledging him. Eventually, Cedric seized a lull in the conversation.
"Alpha Landon, I was wondering if you had any interest in the newly discovered Stellar Mines vein-" "Not interested." Landon's pinewood pheromones suddenly turned sharp. "And Frostmoon Pack's alpha can't even manage basic negotiation?" Tessa set down her knife and fork. "An alpha of Frostmoon Pack should know how to fight for profit with fangs and wit, not grovel for scraps." The words hit like frostwolf fangs straight into Cedric's chest.
His grip on his wine glass tightened, knuckles pale from the strain. Where was she when I was running around for our pack? And now she thinks she has the right to lecture me? Whatever warmth he'd once felt for Tessa faded even further.
After dinner, Landon personally drove Tessa and Grandpa home. Cedric and the others left in another car. "Thank you for coming all this way just to have dinner with an old man like me," Walter said. "Forget the unpleasantness-speople still think clinging to power is more dignified than fighting for it." He was ashamed of Cedric's attempt to take the easy way out.

Landon handed her two beautifully wrapped gift boxes. "Christmas presents. One for you and one for Grandpa. I figured he wouldn't accept it directly, so I'll count on you to pass it along." "I haven't gotten you anything yet..."/She'd been busy non-stop since returning to Navoris.
I really can't keep up with Landon on this stuff.
As alpha of Nightshade Pack and/CEO of the Lu Corporation, he had to be even busier than her. Yet he always managed to surprise her "That's okay. You're already the best gift I could ask for." Landon leaned down and ki Tessa accepted the gifts. "Thank you." her gently.

She got out of the car with the gifts and waved goodbye. Landon didn't drive off until she was inside and out of sight.
Tessa handed Grandpa his gift, then returned to her room.
She was in a great mood, excited to open her present-until the ring on her finger began to glow with a strange, ceric light.
Her good mood vanished instantly.
Nathan. Why can't he just let go already? She'd made it clear-she wasn't his Luna, and she didn't belong to him. Why couldn't he get that through his thick skull? Meanwhile, in Yalvaria on the Montedra werewolf continent.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBeta Grant was reporting to Nathan. "Alpha, Tessa's in Navoris. But Navoris is under Nightshade Pack alpha Landon's rule. If we rush in without planning..." "Afraid?" Nathan lounged on a sofa, smirking. "My own beta, tellinghe's afraid?" So that's where she was.
I knew it-there's no way someone could just vanish without a trace in this world.
"Alpha, it's not fear of Landon or death," Grant said helplessly. "But while we're om strong in Yalvaria, Navoris is Landon's absolute territory. If we barge in, we'll be at a huge disadvantage." "Grant, no need to say more. I'll go to Navoris alone. And Landon? He won't even sense I'm there."
He had a specially crafted potion that could completely mask his om scent-even Landon wouldn't be able to detect him.
"Alpha-" Grant hesitated, then swallowed his words. He didn't dare tell Nathan that Landon clearly had feelings for Tessa, and the two of them already seemed to be in a relationship. With Nathan's obsessive possessiveness, if he found out, it would spark a bloodbath.
"Enough. Leave me. I'll handle the trip to Navoris myself." Christmas was coming.
What better tto show up and surprise her? My Tessa... she'll be thrilled to see me, I'm sure.
