Chapter 357 The One Who Returned

“Stop right there!”

The werewolf security guard panted as he chased after them.

Tessa just laughed even harder, her smile bright and unrestrained.

Landon turned and caught a glimpse of that smile and in that split second, his heart thumped wildly.

He felt it again. That rush. That flutter.

He was falling for her all over again this bold, dazzling version of Tessa. She shone so brightly it was impossible to look away.

This time, instead of climbing the wall, Tessa led Landon straight out through the front gate.

Once they were off school grounds, the guard naturally stopped chasing.

Even after they left the school behind, Landon was still holding her hand as they strolled down the street.

That little dash had left Tessa’s cheeks flushed a vivid red. She looked lively, radiánt.

Looking at her beautiful profile, Landon asked, “How do you want to get back?”

Tessa shot back, “What about you?”

“Let’s drive. No rush anyway – and we can enjoy the scenery on the way.”

“Sure.” Tessa had no objections.

They went back to the hotel, packed up their things, and hit the road.

By the time Nathan arrived at the hotel, Tessa and Landon had just left.

“Alpha, she’s gone. And she left with another man.” The beta reported what he’d found.

Nathan punched the wall. The shockwave from his wolf force cracked the surface with web–like fractures of ice.

“Damn it.”

Why did he have to be just one step too late?

He’d followed the last traces of the Moonchase Bond’s residual energy all the he was giving up now.

there was no way

“Alpha, we should go. There’s still official business waiting for you back at Frost Pack,” the beta reminded him.

Frost Pack was the largest in Yalvaria. Nathan was a powerful alpha – widely considered the strong contender to become the next state Alpha King.

If it hadn’t been for the forbidden ritual he performed three years ago, which backfired, he might have already claimed Montedra’s crown.

Worse, that ritual had required blood sacrifices from captured Montedra werewolves. It had enraged Landon to the point that he launched a war under the name of the the Moon Delty. The fighting only. stopped after countless Frost Pack warriors were slaughtered.

Landon had declared that if Nathan ever dared step foot in Montedra again, he’d make sure he never left alive.

Being in Montedra at all was already a risk. And now they’d stirred up trouble looking for someone? If Landon found out, they might not make it out alive…

“I’m not leaving without Tessa.” Nathan’s voice was cold and final. No matter what, he wasn’t letting her slip away again.

“Alpha-”

Nathan turned his pressure–filled gaze on the beta, who immediately fell silent.

Still, for the sake of his Alpha’s safety, the beta forced himself to speak.

“If your father finds out you’re risking everything again for Tessa, the old Alpha won’t let her off easy Nathan snapped. In a flash, his wolf claws slashed across the beta’s cheek, leaving three bleeding gashes. “My business doesn’t need your commentary.” He wanted only one thing now – to find Tessa, and make sure she could never leave him again.

Just thinking about her – that face, so eerily like the one in his memory – sent a blood–red shimmer rippling through the wolf markings in his pupils.

Yes. From the moment he’d seen Tessa in Yalvaria, he had vowed to make her his.

That girl walking alone under the rain with an umbrella – her side profile had been identical to his lost mate. Even the curve of her brow had the haunting symmetry of something carved by the the Moon Deity herself.

Ever since that Blood Moon night five years ago – the night he lost his destined mate – his wolf had been on the verge of madness. The soul of his wolf pounded endlessly against the mental walls of his consciousness, snarling, howling.

He and his wolf had never been able to accept that loss.

Until he saw Tessa.
