Fell for the Alpha-less Queen novel Chapter 380

Chapter 380 Not Just Anyone

By the time they sent Nathan off, it was already past two in the afternoon.

With that huge problem out of the way, Tessa finally had a moment to breathe. She wandered the streets alone for a while, then thought of Avery–he probably hadn’t gone home either. So she swung by the villa where he and the band stayed.

The rest of the band had all gone home for Christmas Eve, but Avery’s relationship with his family was… complicated. He’d always resisted going back.

Tessa knew the gate code and let herself in.

Sure enough, as soon as she stepped inside, she heard rock music blasting from upstairs. Tessa instantly knew–Avery still hadn’t gone home.

She followed the sound to the practice room, opened the door, and found Avery alone, working on music. He was playing the new song she had just written.

Tessa walked in and sat down on the floor, listening to him play. As expected, Avery understood her better than anyone–he captured exactly what she wanted to express with that piece.

Avery didn’t look surprised to see her. Once he finished playing, he asked, “Well? Did it feel the way you imagined?”

“Yeah, it did. You’ve always been the one who gets me best.”

Avery said nothing. He just opened two bottles of cocktail, handed her one, and sat down across from her with the other.

“What brings you here?” he asked. Honestly, he’d thought no one in the world even remembered he existed tonight.

“What’s with the melodrama?” That wasn’t like him at all.

“It’s nothing,” Avery said, making a tiny gesture with his fingers. “Just felt a little lonely. Just a tiny bit.”

Tessa took a sip of the cocktail and laughed.

“Alright, Avery. I came just to check on you. If you’ve got nowhere to go tonight, come to my place.”

Though, honestly, the only person in that house she even acknowledged was the old man.

“Sure,” Avery said without hesitation. Since she offered, how could he say no?

“Then grab your stuff and let’s go. But you know what my house is like–don’t go looking for warmth or anything.”

Her family didn’t do warmth.

Avery chuckled. “I’ll just chat with the old man.”

As long as she was there, nothing else mattered.

And so, on that Christmas Eve, Avery showed up at the Sinclair family home.

Chapter 380 Not Just Anyone

The old man was visibly surprised to see Tessa bring someone home.

He didn’t know much about the werewolf entertainment scene, so he didn’t recognize Avery.

“Good evening, sir. I’m Tessa’s friend. My name’s Avery.”

“Nice to meet you. Make yourself at home, no need to be formal.” The old man was genuinely happy Tessa rarely brought anyone over, let alone a friend.

While the old man didn’t know who Avery was, Winona certainly did. She was one of his fans.

She never imagined her idol would turn out to be Tessa’s friend–let alone spend Christmas Eve at their house.

“Avery, hi! I’m Winona. I really love your music!” Winona finally couldn’t hold it in.

“Thanks.” With Winona, Avery slipped right back into his usual cold and distant demeanor–a stark contrast to how he acted with Tessa.

And just like that, Winona was sulking again.

Why did every guy she liked end up liking Tessa?

What was so special about her?

Seeing her expression darken, Cedric pulled her aside.
