Chapter 356 Run With Me
As soon as she answered the call, Dreain’s voice came through, excited.
“Tessa, good news! The two hundred million is in-
money’s in the account!”
So that guy had kept his word after all.
“Good. Now don’t do anything like that again.” Dream still wasn’t strong enough to take on a dangerous drug lord by herself especially not one who specialized in creating that mutated variant of Soulrot
Venom.
Dream rubbed her nose.
“Okay, okay, I got it. Don’t worry! Next time, I’ll just go in swinging!”
Her shooting skills were solid, but in terms of pure hand–to–hand combat into wolf power–she still had a long way to go.

“By the way, where are you right now? If you haven’t left Falindale yet, I was gonna take you out tonight- show you a good time!”
Word had it that the most luxurious club in town had brought in some illusionist cat shifters. Business had been booming.
“No need. I might be heading back to Navoris tonight.” Christmas was coming up. It was about time to go back the old man had already called her multiple times to hurry home.
“Leaving already?” Dream sounded genuinely disappointed. “You finally came back, and you can’t even stay a few more days with me?”
She was all alone out here it was miserable.
“I can’t. My grandpa wants me home.”

“Fine! If I miss you, I’ll just go to Navoris and find you!” Dream said breezily. After all, in her pack and family’s eyes, she was already the rebellious runaway girl. Whether she stayed in Falindale or left didn’t matter anymore.
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Tessa walked back to Landon and held out her hand.
“Let’s go. Didn’t you say we were heading back to Navoris?” He still had plenty waiting for him there – if he delayed any longer, he’d only be more swamped when he got back.
“Are you done with everything here in Falindale? I can wait for you if you’re not.”
It wasn’t like he had to leave right away. Besides, the preparations for her birthday banquet in Navoris were just about finished.
“It’s all handled. Nothing big left. You really didn’t have to come all the way here.” She knew he probably wasn’t here just for her – but/still, she couldn’t help saying it.
Landon took her hand – but instead of getting up, he tugged her down onto him.

“Don’t overthink it. I had other business in Falindale too.”
“Mm.”
Tessa thought he’d tell her what that “business” was. But he didn’t.
Whatever he could tell her, he already had. The rest… telling her would only drag her into danger.
And he would never do that.
“Let me go.” Tessa pushed against the field with both hands, trying to get up around her waist, refusing to budge.

but his arms locked firmly
“Don’t overthink things.” He wasn’t hiding anything out of guilt – he just didn’t want her getting hurt.
His world was full of danger. Full of chaos and uncertainty.
The only thing he wanted to give her… was happiness.
Tessa scoffed softly. Did she really seem like the type to overthink everything?
Seeing her like that – so adorably defiant — Landon couldn’t help himself. He cupped her face and kissed her lightly.
“Who’s there?!”
Just then, a werewolf security guard doing his rounds spotted them out on the field something.
