Chapter 218 He Trusted Her
+ Pearis
Tessa took a cab back to Wisteria Apartment. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Landon standing there, leaning against the wall. The Nightshare Pack Alpha, who was usually proud and untouchable, now seemed to be wrapped in a heavy see of loneliness, making anyone who saw him feel a pang in their chest.
“Why aren’t you going inside?” Tessa walked over to him and asked in a low voice.
“You’re finally back.” Landon, who had always been commanding and invincible, now actually sounded a little pitiful.
Landon reached out his right hand and pulled her into his arms, his other hand wrapping around her slender waist, his forehead resting against the top of her head.
Held tightly like this, Tessa’s heart couldn’t help but speed up.
How long has he been standing here? His whole body is cold.
“Mr. Thome…
As soon as Tessa spoke. Landon moved, pressing her against the wall and kissing her.
The kiss was desperate, even a little rough, and Tessa felt her lips stinging from his bites.
The pine–scented pheromones that belonged only to him flooded into her mouth, wild and uncontrollable, filled with a deep, burning desire for he
Only when Tessa felt like she was about to suffocate did Landon’s kiss finally soften.
The wild pheromones around him also calmed down, like a wolf pulling back its fangs and licking her gently, full of endless tenderness and love.
After kissing her enough, Landon simply hugged her tightly and said nothing.
If she weren’t still so young, what he wanted most right now was to mark her, bind her to the bed, and tangle with her until neither of them could move.
He wanted her to know exactly how much he cared.
Tessa, slightly out of breath, said, “Can we go inside now? It’s cold.”
Winter had already come, and winters in Navoris were freezing, even though it was only early winter.
When Landon touched her little hand and found it icy, he immediately wrapped it in his palm
He led her to the door, pressed his fingerprint, unlocked it, and turned on the underfloor heating.
Every move he made was smooth and natural.
Tessa stared at him, a little dazed.
“What? Are you still feeling cold?” Landon frowned, then pulled her straight into his lap, wrapping her tightly in his arms.

Siuing like this, even calf Tessa felt her face burning and her heart racing
Especially surrounded by his overwhelming pheromon scent–it made it so easy for her to lose control.
“Mr. Thorne. L
But Landon didn’t let her finish. He simply pressed her into his chest, holding her tightly.
Like a wolf protecting its most precious treasure–careful, possessive.
“Where did you go?” Landon asked.
Tessa immediately understood. All of Landon’s strange behavior today must have been because she went to see Samuel instead of having dinner with him.
“Mr. Thorne, I really had something important today. I went to meet someone very important. I’ll make it up to you and treat you to dinner next time, Tessa said, trying to calm him.
“Someone important? More important than me?” he muttered, clearly bitter.
Tessa was left speechless.
When Landon learned that Tessa had been seen with another man at the Jeston Hotel, he had truly been. furious.
But it wasn’t because he didn’t trust her.
He knew exactly what kind of person Tessa was. He trusted her completely.
It was Charlotte’s malicious gossip–like someone smearing dirt on the treasure he valued most–that had set him ablaze.
And the fact that he didn’t even have the right identity to question her had stabbed at the deepest pain point of an Alpha like him. He was not able to completely claim her.
At that moment, the wolf inside him nearly burst free. He had wanted to turn the world upside down and drag her back to his side so no one could ever take her away,
But after waiting outside Wisteria Apartment for more than three hours, when she finally stepped out of the elevator and looked at him with that familiar gaze, all the fire inside him instantly went out. Every trace of anger disappeared.
“He is pretty important,” Tessa said seriously.
