Chapter 368 Cold–Blooded Claim
Nathan knocked on the front door of the Sinclair estate and made his intentions clear,

Walter eyed the young man standing at the threshold–confident, commanding, and cold. The power rolling off him was impossible to ignore.
It was the first time anyone had ever come looking for Tessa like this.
Landon visited often, sure, but he usually showed up with Tessa in tow. He never came alone.
Walter didn’t like this one. Sure, the kid wore a polite smile, but it didn’t fool him. Beneath that clean–cut charm was a scent Walter knew too well–bitter snow and rotting leaves. A killing scent. Frost Pack pheromones. Wolves built for war. Wolves that killed without blinking.
“You said you’re what to Tessa?” Walter asked again, his voice low and steady.
“Mr. Walter, I’m Tessa’s boyfriend. And soon enough, we’ll be mates.” Nathan dialed down his usual intensity. For now, he played the gentleman. “I know it sounds hard to believe, but I’m telling the truth.”
Louis’s eyes widened. Ms. Sinclair’s boyfriend?But Tessa’s boyfriend is Alpha Mr. Thorne… right? Who the hell is this guy?
Walter’s face darkened. “Listen, kid. I don’t know what you’re after, but you need to back off. Tessa already has a boyfriend.”
“What?” “What?” The mask dropped in an instant. Nathan’s smile vanished, his eyes slitting like a wolf’s, and a savage red glint burned in their depths.
Tessa has a boyfriend? Since when? Who? Who the hell would dare take her from me?
“I said, she’s already taken. And I’m more than happy with the man she chose. Whatever this is, it ends here. Leave.”
Walter had no complaints about Landon.
It wasn’t about his title–Alpha of the Nightshade Pack, ruler of Montedra. What mattered was how he treated Tessa. The man had been nothing but devoted.
Hearing Tessa was already with someone else, Nathan couldn’t keep the fury down any longer. Hearing Tessa was already with someone else, Nathan couldn’t keep the fury down any longer. The silver chandelier above them rattled and shook violently.
But then he remembered why he came. He shut his eyes, curled his fists tight, and forced the rage back down. When he opened them again, his voice was calm–too calm–but the edge was there, sharp and deadly. “Mr. Thorne, you must be mistaken. I’m Tessa’s boyfriend. Her future mate. I’m the one she’s meant to be with.”
Walter frowned deeper, instincts on high alert.
Across the room, Winona watched the chaos unfold, smug as ever. “Look at that, Grandpa. This is the girl you dote on so much. Your perfect Tessa, caught in a full–blown scandal. If this gets out, we’ll be the laughingstock of all Navoris.”
She sneered. Tessa sure knew how to play her cards. She had Alpha Thorne wrapped around her finger.

She was all tangled up with Nico from Navoris High. And now here came another man, claiming to be her boyfriend.
This one? He had a dark aura, seductive good looks, and worst of all–he was a high–ranking werewolf. Where does Tessa even find these powerful men?
But the second Winona opened her mouth to insult Tessa again, Nathan’s gaze snapped to her.
