Chapter 358 Territory and Tethers
“Keep searching,” Nathan said coldly.
All these years, he had never truly believed that Tessa was dead.
Now that he’d finally found a real lead, there was no way he was letting it go.
Nathan irritably turned the silver ring on his finger.
Damn it. If it hadn’t been for the Silvermoon Judges interrupting the ritual back then, he would’ve fully repaired the bond ring. Instead, he was left relying on occasional, unstable resonance to sense her general direction and going through hell just to chase her down.

Right then, the beta’s phone rang.
the former alpha- his whole body tensed. This was bad. Really bad.
When he saw who was calling the former alpha
But no matter how reluctant he was, he couldn’t ignore the call. As soon as he picked up and heard the voice on the other end – the piercing howl of the Arctic wolf- a chill ran down his spine even through the receiver.
“Alpha, it’s the former alpha.” The beta held out the phone with both hands, utterly respectful.
Nathan glanced at him. His gaze was like a lone wolf whose prey had just been taken – so cold it made the beta’s wolf ears pop out from fright.
This had nothing to do with him. He hadn’t ratted Nathan out to the old man!
Nathan took the phone with a look of pure resistance.
His father’s voice came through with commanding pressure. “Return to Falindale immediately. Don’t make me recall you through the clan brand.”
The moment the call ended, Nathan crushed the phone in his hand. Wolf aura burst uncontrollably from his body.
But he couldn’t disobey his father.
After all, when the forbidden ritual backfired and shattered his beast core three years ago, it was his father who repaired his wolf’soul using his own life essence.
During Nathan’s long recovery, it was his father who protected the entire Frost Pack alone, Every order from him wasn’t just a command – it was instinct etched into blood and bone.
The beta stood off to the side, too terrified to breathe.
“Fine. We’ll go back for now. Keep people looking. If you can’t find Tessa within a week…” Nathan trailed off coldly. As he opened the car door, the metal crunched under his grip, leaving five deep claw marks. “Don’t bother showing your face/again.”
The beta’s face twisted with stress.
A soul–bond search that had failed for three years Landon’s home turf?

Chapter 358 Territory and Tethers
That was like sending a pup to fight a dragon.
While Nathan was frantically chasing shadows, Tessa was enjoying a relaxed ride in Landon’s car
They were driving back to Navoris, and the scenery along the way was beautiful.
Landon didn’t drive fast. There was no need to rush.
It was rare for the two of them to have some peaceful, private time together short.
he wasn’t eager to cut it
By the time they arrived in Navoris, it was already past 7 p.m. Ysabel had found out Tessa was returning and insisted on having dinner together. She and Nathaniel had been waiting at the freeway exit.
So when Landon saw Nathaniel’s car right after getting off the highway, he genuinely considered pretending not to see them and just driving away.
What was with these two?
They could fall in love all they wanted – but did they have to do it in front of him?
He finally had a moment alone with Tessa…
But of course, Nathaniel had no idea what Landon was thinking. The second he saw their car, he waved enthusiastically.
Faced with such energy, Landon had no choice but to pull over.
As soon as the car stopped, Ysabel ran over and knocked on the window.
Tessa rolled it down and saw her beaming face.
“Tessa, you’re finally back! You have no idea how much I missed you.”
She’d already been waiting over an hour just for this dinner. That was real dedication.
