Fell for the Alpha-less Queen novel Chapter 329

Chapter 329 Reckoning

Landon didn’t let go of Tessa until she was nearly out of breath.

Finished

Her lips were flushed and slightly parted from the kiss, glistening faintly. In Landon’s mind, Flex wagged his tail wildly, filled with uncontainable excitement. Landon swallowed hard, his voice a little husky.

“Feeling better?”

Tessa rested lightly against his chest, her breathing soft and shallow,

The way he asked, you’d think the kiss had been nothing more than a spiritual remedy–as if there hadn’t been the slightest trace of desire behind it.

“Much better. My energy’s recovered a lot. That’s your wolf’s ability?” she asked, looking up at him.

In Landon’s mind, Flex roared with pride: “That’s right! I’m awesome! I have so many cool powers I want to show Tessa! I like her so much! I really want to meet her wolf too…”

“Not the time, buddy,” Landon replied through their link.

Out loud, he answered gently, “Yeah. And there’s more you’ll discover–someday.”

He paused, then asked, “What are you planning to do about Yardley? If it’s too difficult for you, I can help.”

After all, Yardley was her father. It couldn’t be easy.

“There’s nothing difficult about it. I’ll handle it myself.”

Tessa had never been one to avoid confrontation.

Her eyes turned cold again at the thought of everything Yardley had done.

Of all the mistakes he could’ve made, making their grandfather suffer like this was unforgivable.

She knew her grandfather better than anyone.

Right now, he must still be hurting because of Yardley–and she couldn’t do anything to ease it.

But what she could do was make sure Yardley lost all hope of ever being part of the Sinclair family again.

Landon gently pinched her cheek, his heart aching.

Why did she have to face things like this? She could’ve been living freely, doing what made her happy.

Instead, she had to shoulder betrayal, heartbreak, and responsibility–and she did it all without asking anyone for help.

“Tessa, I’m serious. Let me help. I don’t want to see you struggling with this alone.”

“I’m not struggling.”

There was no reason to be. Not yet, anyway.

“Okay. But if you ever need anything–come to me.”

“I will.” She nodded.

She had come to him–when she needed to find her grandfather.

Finished

Walter eventually woke up from his nap and announced he was ready to return to the Sinclair family home.

He didn’t want the rest of the family to worry.

Landon personally drove him back.

When they arrived, the butler was already waiting at the door, visibly anxious. He’d felt terribly guilty since Walter went missing.

The moment he saw him, he hurried forward.

“Sir, I’m so sorry. This was my fault.”

As Walter’s former beta, Louis was ashamed to have failed him.

“This wasn’t your fault, Louis. Don’t blame yourself.” Walter reassured him.

The blame lay in his own failure to manage his family. Louis had done nothing wrong.

“Sir, I-” Louis wanted to say more but didn’t know how to comfort him.

Yardley’s actions had crossed the line–completely and cruelly.

Louis helped Walter inside. Outside, only Tessa and Landon remained.

“You should head back. I’ll call you later,” she said. There were still matters to deal with, and she couldn’t divide her focus.

“Call me when it’s all done.”

He wanted to go in with her, but she made it clear she didn’t want him to. He respected that.

“I will. Drive safe.”
