Chapter 301 The Alpha’s Warning
+8 Pearls
Someone had to fight, so Tessa didn’t mind stepping aside to watch the show. She hugged Landon’s coat and moved over to the side.
In her consciousness, Emma gave an excited growl, eager to witness herpha in action.
Landon struck with explosive speed. His claws shot from his fingertips, gleaming with cold light, radiating an alpha’s signature air of destruction.
The lead merc lunged first, his claws glowing faintly with venom, aiming straight for Landon’s chest.
Landon sidestepped in a blur–fast enough to leave only an afterimage. Inside his mind, his wolf Flex howled with power, guiding every move with ruthless precision.
His counterstrike landed on the merc’s shoulder. The crack of bone breaking was crisp and brutal. Blood instantly filled the air.
The tattooed man roared and joined the fight, both claws slashing toward Landon’s throat.
But Landon only laughed coldly. His fangs sank into the man’s arm, crushing bone with the steel–like strength of an alpha’s bite.
Then with a single kick, he sent the tattooed man flying. One swipe of his claw, and the rest of the mercs crumpled to the ground.
The sheer pressure of his alpha aura broke their instincts, leaving them whimpering on the floor in surrender.
The entire fight lasted mere seconds–Landon’s combat style a perfect display of violent elegance.
Tessa looked at the pile of vicious mercenaries now groaning in defeat and couldn’t help but laugh. Her laughter was the final insult, stripping the mercs of what little pride they had left.
Do they have no shame? Couldn’t she at least pretend to give them some dignity?
“You-” The tattooed man couldn’t even finish the sentence. He’d been humiliated too badly to speak.
Landon brushed off his hands, then gestured to Tessa for a tissue. After wiping his palms, he said coldly, “Go turn yourselves in to the Mistwolf Pack’s elders. Tell them everything Sharon did. If you don’t, I’ll personally have you hauled in tomorrow.”
Given what they’d done, he had every right to rip them to shreds on the spot.
But he didn’t want Tessa to see that kind of bloodbath.
And as the alpha king of Montedra, he needed to uphold the law, at least on the surface.
“Um, you should take him seriously. He really can get you all thrown in jail. And once you’re in, don’t expect to ever see daylight again.”
These mercs had multiple murders on their hands.

In his mind, Flex paced restlessly, furious about what had almost happened to Tessa.
He knew she didn’t like when he interfered in her affairs–but at this point, if he didn’t step in, how could he call himself a man?
Tessa, knowing he was upset, didn’t say anything. She went to heat up two cups of milk.
“It’s fine. Just a few thugs. I could’ve handled it.” She handed him a mug and sat down with hers.
Landon stared at her. Thugs? Really?
Each one of them had blood on their claws. The stench of death in their scent was enough to make mid- and low–ranking wolves shiver.
Still, he took the cup, sipped the milk, and quietly set it aside.
Then he pulled her down to sit on his lap.
“If something like this ever happens again, you tell me. Don’t try to handle everything alone.” This side of her–the one that always carried everything by herself–made his heart ache.
Tessa flushed the moment she sat on him.
This man didn’t even have to do anything. Just sitting there, he exuded alpha pheromones strong enough to make any she–wolf’s heart race.
Which was exactly why just being in his lap made her blush and lose her cool.
“Let me go.” Tessa tried to sound composed, but Emma was anything but calm.
Tessie, I like it when he hugs us. I love the way his pheromones smell.
Emma didn’t want to leave Landon’s arms at all.
“Just let me hold you for a bit.” Landon didn’t plan to let go. He–and Flex–both needed the comfort of Tessa’s scent.
Though flustered, Tessa stayed where she was, nestled on his lap.
