Fell for the Alpha-less Queen novel Chapter 405

Chapter 405 The Beast Beneath His Skin

Tessa and Landon weren’t just wolves–they were awakened wielders of the Ancient Wolf Spirit. Their bodies ran hotter, stronger, longer than anyone else’s.

And after just two intense rounds of soul–deep sex, the sky had already turned fully to morning.

Landon lay back against the snowbank, completely sated, eyes tracing the soft rise and fall of Tessa’s body nestled against his chest. He kissed her forehead, damp with sweat, still craving her.

If it weren’t for the fact that Tessa’s coming–of–age ceremony was scheduled next, he wouldn’t have left her body so easily.

Tessa, who’d tasted real pleasure for the first time in her life, was already hooked.

She rested against his bare chest, fingers sliding playfully across his firm pecs.

“I could get addicted to this,” she said softly.

The way their spirits had connected… the way their bodies had moved… it wasn’t just sex. It was a total union.

It felt like every nerve, every instinct, every part of me said yes to him.

Landon let out a husky laugh, kissing her swollen lips with restraint he didn’t feel.

“Oh, I’m way more gone than you are. But after tonight’s ceremony? You’re mine for the rest of the night.”

Tessa’s lips curved into a slow smile. “Mmm. I’ll be counting the minutes.”

Then she glanced toward the shredded mess of fabric in the snow and laughed softly.

“Although… those clothes are officially done for.”

Landon stood up and draped his black coat–the only thing left intact–over Tessa’s naked body. It swallowed her frame, hiding the flushed skin and the marks he’d left behind when he couldn’t hold back.

Then he scooped her up in his arms.

“Well. That definitely wasn’t the plan. We need to head back to Wisteria Apartment, get cleaned up, and find clothes that aren’t torn to pieces.”

He hadn’t brought her out here expecting chaos. Just a quiet night under the stars, counting down to midnight. Her birthday. The moment their bond would be revealed–Destined or not.

If it turned out they weren’t mates, he would’ve still kissed her; still held her; still told her exactly how he felt.

But if they were? Then hell, he’d kiss her harder and thank the Moon Deity herself for giving them this fate.

He’d wanted her for a long time. He’d dreamed of being inside her. But he trusted himself enough to wait.

I was going to wait. For the blessing at the Wolf Sanctum. For her grandpa Walter to sanctify the bond. For her friends to celebrate her birthday, so we could finally steal away and make that night ours.

That had been the plan.

Until she flipped everything upside down.

He’d never seen her like that–fire burning beneath all that usual quiet. His fee princess had turned to liv and it melted every bit of control he’d been holding onto

They’d gone at each other like animals, right there in the snow. He hadn’t even packed backup clothes.

Good thing wolves came with biological safeguards. In an unmarked state, the female’s gland barrier kept her from getting pregnant- a defense evolved by the Ancestral to protect unmated partners before formal bonding.

She was still in high school. Their bond hadn’t been witnessed by the pack’s elders. This wasn’t the time for a baby.

Tessa let Landon carry her to the car without protest, melting into his hold.

“I’m gonna take a quick nap,” she murmured with a soft smile.
