Fell for the Alpha-less Queen novel Chapter 374

Crosses the Line Again

Nathan followed at a distance, quiet as a shadow. He kept his scent buried deep, doing everything he could to stay beneath Landon’s Alpha fadar.

The moment he knew she’d seen him, he sent a text. “So…. your boyfriend is Landon?”

Tessa stared at the message on her phone, her fingers curling into a fist.

“What’s wrong?” Landon’s voice cut in, calm but alert. He’d picked up on her mood instantly.

“Nothing.” Tessa fired back a message to Nathan. “This has nothing to do with you. Stop following me.”

Nathan’s response came seconds later. Just a smiley face–blood red and marked with a crescent moon.

“What is it?” Landon watched her, eyes sharp. He could tell something was off.

“It’s nothing.”

He didn’t press. If she didn’t want to talk, he’d respect that–for now.

By the time they arrived at Silvermoon Estate, another text came in.

“You wouldn’t eat with me, but you’ll have dinner with someone else? That hurts, Tessa. You know I don’t like being ignored.”

“Son of a-” Tessa hissed, barely holding it together.

“What’s going on?” Landon glanced at her, startled. He’d never seen her lose her cool like this.

Tessa took a deep breath, pushing the fury down. “It’s nothing.”

The estate was packed–it was dinnertime, and the place was full. And if he and Landon crossed paths tonight, things would get ugly–fast.

“Are you sure?” Landon asked gently, reading the tension in her face. She was clearly upset–there was no way things were fine.

“I said I’m fine.”

He didn’t believe her–but he let it go. Landon led her to their private dining room. Nathaniel, Ysabel, and a few others were already seated.

“Tessie! Over here!” Ysabel waved her over, bright and warm as always.

Tessa gave a small nod and took a step toward them.

Her phone buzzed again. “Tessa, I don’t want to eat alone. I’m in the private room next door. Come join me.”

Tessa went still.

She stared at the message. You’ve got to be joking. I swear, I might actually kill him tonight.

She stopped in her tracks. “Sorry–I need to use the restroom real quick.”

Want me to come with? Ysabel stood up, concerned.

No, it’s fine. Stay here and chat–I’ll be right back.

And just like that, she was gone.

Back in the dining room, Nathaniel frowned. “What’s up with Tessa tonight?”

“No idea,” Ysabel replied, her smile fading.

Tessa stepped into the private room next door.

Nathan was sitting alone–but the table was filled with dishes. Every dish was something Joanna, his Luna,

used to love.

He sat at the head of the table like he owned the place. And when he saw her, he smiled. “There you are. I came all the way to Navoris, Tessa. Did you really think I’d eat alone?”
