The moment Yardley caught the subtle shift in Tessa’s scent–sharp, chaotic, laced with suppressed anxiety -he smiled with smug satisfaction.

See? No one was unbreakable. You just had to find the right weakness, and the strongest person would crack.

But that flicker of triumph didn’t last long.

Tessa’s wolf energy surged like a storm. The air turned heavy. The tiled floor beneath her began to fracture beneath the weight of her pressure.

She marched toward him, eyes burning cold.

“You kidnapped Grandpa?” Her voice was low, steady–but the rage was coiled tightly beneath.

This was his last chance.

Yardley, ever shameless, feigned concern. “I didn’t have a choice. If you’d just listen to me, be a good girl, none of this would’ve happened. I’m only doing this for the family. So, for everyone’s sake, why don’t you just step down today?”

His tone was smooth, coaxing, as if he were the victim here.

“In your dreams.”

“You-!” Yardley hadn’t expected such a hard rejection.

“Tessa, I’m warning you. Don’t push me. I can do anything. And to think… after everything, Walter still favored you-”

“A filthy beast who’d kidnap his own father has no right to say his name,” Tessa snapped, cutting him off. Her aura blasted out like an arctic wind, snapping tension into the air.

“If he gets even a scratch because of you, I will pay it back a thousandfold.”

Yardley staggered.

Was he… hallucinating?

That oppressive force–had it really come from her?

No. Impossible.

She’d been declared wolfless at birth. Even the witches had confirmed it. There was no way she could have awakened.

He refused to believe it.

His ego–his so–called pride as her father–couldn’t take the idea that this “defective” daughter now stood stronger than him.

But Tessa didn’t spare him another glance. With a face like carved ice, she pulled out her phone and called Lina.

“Phantom?” Lina answered quickly, startled. “You never call me first–what’s going on?”

“Track down my grandfather. Send someone to bring him back,” Tessa ordered, her tone leaving no room for argument.

Lina immediately understood how serious it was.

“Got it.” She could tell Tessa was barely keeping her anger under control.

But Tessa still wasn’t reassured.

She made another call–to Landon.

“Is the meeting over?” Landon answered right away, expecting her call to mean the shareholder vote was

donc.

“Mr. Landon, I need your help.” Her voice was cold, but a strain of unease crept through it.

She wanted nothing more than to hunt Walter down herself–but she had made a promise: that she would sit in that boardroom and win.

Landon instantly picked up on the tightness in her voice. “What’s wrong?”

“Yardley took my grandfather. Will you help me bring him back?”

The second she heard Landon’s voice, Tessa felt a bit steadier. Like she could breathe again.

“I’ll take care of it. Personally,” Landon said firmly. “Don’t worry. By the time the vote ends, I’ll have Walter standing right in front of you.”

“…Alright.”

She didn’t trust many people.

But Landon–she believed in him. His strength. His word.

“Leave it to me,” he said gently, his tone carrying a distinct alpha warmth. Even through the phone, his unique pheromones pushed calm toward her. Reassurance. Protection.

After hanging up, Landon stood immediately.

Nathaniel followed suit, concerned by his sudden shift.

“Alpha? What’s wrong?” he asked cautiously.

“Yardley’s crossed a line,” Landon growled. “He kidnapped Walter to force Tessa to drop out.”

The walls of his office groaned under the pressure of his anger. The glass hummed as if it would shatter under the force of his alpha fury.
