“Mr. Thorne?” Tessa tilted her head and looked at him in confusion, unsure what he meant by that question.
“You keep saying you’ll handle your own problems. You never let me help. Have you never thought of me as someone you could rely on?” Landon finally voiced the question that had been weighing on his heart for a long time.
Tessa froze for a second. She seemed to catch a flash of defeat in his eyes, and for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
But almost instantly, Landon returned to his usual self. “Sorry. I shouldn’t have said that to you.”
Landon had never lost control like this before.
As the Alpha of the Nightshade Pack, Montedra’s most powerful ruler, he was always decisive and sharp, whether dealing with pack matters or facing enemies. Nothing ever fazed him.

But after the brutal training, her physical condition improved drastically. Her strength and endurance had reached unprecedented levels, enough to support coexisting with a powerful White Wolf.
And so, Emma awakened naturally.
Emma’s power merged perfectly with Tessa’s mind. Tessa could feel the wildness and force of the ancient and rare Wolf Clan surging inside her.
After awakening Emma and gaining those abilities, Tessa had gotten used to relying only on herself.
Seeing Tessa hesitate, Landon couldn’t help but sigh. “You really leave me with no way to deal with you.”
Tessa couldn’t help but comfort him. “I’ve just gotten used to handling things on my own. It’s not that I don’t

Two hours later, Ysabel’s examination was finished.
Just like Tessa had sensed, it was only a surface injury, no bones were broken.
But without a wolf, Ysabel’s body was already weaker than that of an awakened werewolf. She couldn’t heal on her own, so the pain would last much longer.
