“The contract’s fine.” Tessa said lightly. I haven’t even used my last resort yet. “I just finished the track for you guys. I’ll send it to your email in a bit.”

“Okay.” They knew she always worked fast.

But after they heard the song, every member of Avery Band was stunned.

“I told you–Tessa’s a genius. With a song like this, we’re definitely going to blow up again.”

Even without lyrics, the track was already electrifying. And Tessa had never let them down.

Avery nodded. “She was born for music. Honestly, if she doesn’t go down this path, it’d be such a waste.”

With that level of talent, how could she not choose music? But then again, everyone had their own ambitions, and they couldn’t force her.

Elsewhere, Landon and Nathaniel had just returned to the office after presiding over the Nightshade Pack’s territory meeting when Evan’s call came in.

It came through the encrypted werewolf communication line, thick with the restless scent of Thornbane Pack’s distress.

“Alpha, it’s Evan.” Nathaniel handed Landon the phone. His wolf soul stirred with excitement for the power play about to begin.

Landon accepted the call. “Mr. Evan, shouldn’t you be very busy right now? What brings you to call me?”

His tone was lazy and unbothered, but his alpha pressed through the phone like a storm.

Evan practically choked with rage.

Damn it–this bastard had deliberately set him up. Thorne Corp had laid out the perfect financial trap, and he’d walked straight into it. Ruthless wasn’t even the word.

“How could I possibly be busier than Mr. Thorne?” Evan nearly spat blood, but he had no choice. He had to beg now, had to lower himself.

“Speak.” Landon’s tone was cool and commanding.

“Mr. Thorne… about that investment project. I’d like to withdraw.”

He had fought tooth and nail to get into that investment deal, thinking it would be his chance to destabilize Thorne Corp.

But it turned out Thorne Corp hadn’t suffered at all-instead, the Morrigan Group’s funds had gotten stuck. If he didn’t get out soon, they’d be bankrupt.

The Morrigan Group was the financial lifeline of the entire Thornbane Pack.

But getting out wasn’t so simple. He was already bound by agreements with Thorne Corp and several Nightshade–affiliated investment groups. The only way out now was to forfeit every cent he’d already put

in

“That’s all? If you don’t want to be involved, just withdraw,” Landon made it sound effortless. In his mind, Flex sneered–he’d known exactly where Evan’s weakness was all along.

Evan could barely breathe. He’s doing this on purpose. He’s gotta be doing this on purpose!

“Mr. Thorne, whatever terms you want, just name them. I won’t say a word. I only ask… please let me off this time.”

“Well, well. I never thought I’d see Mr. Evan grovel like this,” Landon said with a cold laugh.

Did he really think Landon Thorne was that easy to mess with?

Evan was seething, but he didn’t dare say a word.

“Tell Nathaniel whatever you want. I have other things to do.” Landon handed the phone back to Nathaniel.

“Mr. Frost, please… put in a good word with Mr. Thorne for me,” Evan pleaded. He was desperate. If he didn’t recover those tied–up funds, the entire Morrigan Group might go under.
