Chapter 257 More Than They Bargained For
The Werewolf Mercenaries exchanged confused glances.
This… wasn’t the reaction they’d expected.
Madam Dawson said the girl was just some useless mut without a wolf Wasn’t she supposed to be trembling in fear by now?
“You’re not going to make a move? Then I’ll go first.”
But before Tessa could do anything, Nico appeared beside her, stepping in front to shield her.
“Who sent you?” he snapped. “I told you–no one touches her.
Nico had known his mother wouldn’t let Tessa off that easily.

After evening classes, he’d seen Tessa leave with Ysabel, so he quietly followed. And sure enough–he walked right into this mess.
Tessa was the only girl he’d ever liked. Even if she didn’t like him back, he wasn’t going to let anyone hurt her
“Mr. Nico…”
The mercenaries looked uneasy seeing him. They all knew Nico’s temper. But this was Madam Dawson’s order–what could they do?

“If that’s how it is, then I won’t be polite,” Tessa said, tugging her hoodie up over her head. She gave Nico a little shove out of the way. If she beat these guys herself maybe Sharon wouldn’t hold it against him.
“Tessa!” Nico panicked. She has no idea what these men are capable of. They were the real deal–killers with blood on their hands.
But Tessa? She wasn’t fazed in the slightest.
The mercenaries were the first to strike. They moved in a flash, lunging like starving wolves toward her.
