“That’s right, gorgeous. My dad’s the alpha of the Iceclaw Pack, and I’m his only heir. Will you be my girlfriend? I’m serious, not just fooling around!” Henry said, flashing a cocky grin that reached his eyes
“Be your girlfriend?” Tessa echoed, eyebrow raised skeptically.
“Yeah, how about it? Come hang with me tonight!” Henry had no idea who he’d just provoked.
“Hold on a second.” Tessa took out her phone and dialed a number. “Bring some friends over here right
now.”
Once the call connected, Tessa directly gave the address and hung up.
“You like it crowded, huh? No worries–I know tons of people who love a good time,” Henry said suggestively. “Looks like we’re into the same scene!
“You’ve got a death wish,” Landon growled, his eyes narrowing into sharp golden slits. His alpha aura surged through the room, making the air around them hum with tension.
The intense pressure forced Henry into a partial shift, gray wolf ears popping out from his head. He dropped to his knees, mumbling drunkenly, “Why’s the room spinning…?” After catching his breath, he grabbed onto a nearby chair and shakily pulled himself up. “Sorry,” he slurred, “I think I had a bit too much to drink.”
‘He was so oblivious that he blamed the alcohol rather than realizing the danger he was in. Instead, he gave Landon a lecherous look.

Amused, Tessa glanced at Landon. “Mr. Thorne, according to him, you’re nobody.”
Instead of calling him Landon, she deliberately pointed out his identity.
“Alpha…Mr. Thorne? Come on, quit messing around…” Henry suddenly sober
Stories of Nightshade Pack’s alpha flashed through Henry’s mind–the ruthless and powerful alpha who’d wiped out the Winterborn Pack just last month, rumored to have drunk from their skulls.
His father had specifically warned him never to mess with anyone from Nightshade Pack’s four main families, especially Mr. Thorne, their leader. Landon was the one guy even his dad was careful to avoid crossing.
“You’ve got guts, I’ll give you that.” Landon finally stood up. “You said you wanted to play?”
“Stop trying to scare me! There’s no way Mr. Thorne would be here. You think I’m easily fooled?” Henry felt his legs turn even weaker; his wolf instincts seemed to sense danger, sending warning signals to him..

“I am Landon Thorne,” he replied calmly. “Now, think carefully about how you want to die, and maybe I’ll consider going easy on you.
Henry immediately dropped to his knees, terrified. Mr. Thorne, is it really you? I’m so sorry—I had no idea! I swear, I didn’t mean any disrespect!”
