Fell for the Alpha-less Queen novel Chapter 378

A Future Together

After Tessa sent her message and saw that Landon didn’t reply, she went to bed and slept straight through until seven the next morning. When she woke up, she saw a bunch of messages from him.

Thinking about the way he must have texted her, Tessa couldn’t help but smile.

“Sorry, I was exhausted last night. I passed out right after I sent the message”

As soon as she hit send, Landon called her on video.

“You’re awake?”

Tessa nodded.

“I really didn’t mean to ignore your texts,” Landon explained again.

“I don’t think I ever said you did it on purpose, did I? Anyway, my grandpa just sent someone to call me for breakfast. I’m heading down.”

Just as she was about to end the video call, Landon said, “Tessa, remember this–whatever happens, I want to face it with you.”

“I know.”

They’d been together long enough for her to understand what he meant.

Tessa, let me put it this way–whether we’re fated mates or not, I want my future mate to be you.” His amber–colored eyes shimmered in the morning light. “You’re part of my future plans. And I hope that one day, I’ll be the one you trust and keep closest to you.”

Tessa didn’t say anything.

Faced with such a straightforward, wolf–style proposal, the tips of her ears flushed slightly–her wolf soul instinctively responding to the fire in his voice!

Seeing her reaction, Landon didn’t press further.

“Alright, go have breakfast.”

It was Christmas Eve. Tonight, he had to attend the full moon clan feast at the Thorne family estate–an ancient tradition of the wolf clans. The alpha was required to lead the pack in offering sacrifices to the Moon Goddess and praying for the tribe’s continuation.

“Oh, tell your grandpa I can’t join him for drinks tonight. But I’ll definitely visit him tomorrow!”

“Got it. You take care of your stuff.”

Tessa ended the call.

In Montedra, it was tradition to have dinner with family on Christmas Eve–for werewolves, this wasn’t just a holiday custom, but a bonding ritual that maintained the strength of the pack.

Wasn’t that why her grandfather wanted her to come home in the first place?

Chapter 378 A Future Together

After breakfast, just as Tessa stepped out of the living room, she saw Cedric waiting outside–his fingers subconsciously rubbing the snowflake totem ring of the Frostmoon pack, a symbol of the alpha heir. Yet fre the morning light, it looked a bit dull.

“Tessa, I hardly ever get to come back. I really want Dad to spend Christmas Eve with us. Grandpa agreed to it too.”

“Cedric, so you do know how rare it is for you to come back, huh?” Tessa stared at his averted gaze. “Let’s be honest–I was kicked out. And you? Don’t use tribal business as an excuse. Even the alpha of the Shadow Pack can make time for his family and…” She paused. “The people who matter. What right do you have to say you’re too busy?”

Tessa couldn’t bring herself to say loved ones out loud.

“You know exactly why you don’t want to come home. And now that the Sinclair family’s in this state, what gives you the right to be disappointed?”

Cedric’s face flushed.

Back then, when their father cast Tessa out, he could’ve stopped it–but he stayed silent.
