After Landon hung up the phone, Tessa could tell from the name alone that he now knew who was behind. the ambush.

And honestly-good.

Now that he was aware, he could stay vigilant.

No matter how deep Nathan's roots ran in Yalvaria, Landon wasn't someone to be underestimated. Once he understood the situation, she believed without a doubt that he'd handle it all.

He always did.

Landon tossed the phone aside, eyes narrowing. "Nathan."

He hadn't expected it. That bastard really had the nerve to challenge him like this.

Tessa came to his side.

"You need to be careful. That man's a complete lunatic."

"You know him?"

Her warning was right on point. But she'd spent most of her time in Murica-how would she know Nathan?

Not wanting to reveal her past with him, Tessa lied casually, "I heard about him from Samuel. Just... be cautious, okay? I don't want to see you hurt. Not even a scratch."

"Don't worry. It's just Nathan."

"Come on, let's lie down for a bit. Even if you're not tired, rest for a while. We're heading back to Navoris tomorrow-better start shifting your schedule or your exams will be a mess."

"It's fine. Exams are just a formality for me."

She wasn't worried at all. With her grades and overall ability, any university in Murica would welcome her with open arms.

Landon raised a brow, teasing affection in his voice. "Pretty confident, aren't you?"

"As I should be. Besides, the International Werewolf Medical Organization is still waiting for me."

"You want to join the Werewolf International Medical Organization?"noveldrama

That would mean she'd have to attend university in Yalvaria.

"Mm." Tessa nodded.

She'd thought it over for a long time and had finally accepted Samuel's offer. She wanted to join the organization. Saving lives sounded a lot more meaningful than taking them.

Even though Yalvaria was Nathan's stronghold, he wouldn't dare lay a hand on the medical organization. It housed the world's top werewolf healers and focused on researching rare and forbidden diseases. Any attack on them would be a declaration of war against the foundation of werewolf society itself.

By the time she joined, it would be years down the line. She was confident she'd

have figured out how to break the blood contract by then.

And when that time came-if Nathan still dared come after her, she'd kill him without hesitation.

Landon was already calculating. "Then I guess I'll need to slowly shift more of my operations to Yalvaria."

He wanted to be there with her. Always.

There was no way he'd leave her here alone.

"Don't give me that look. If you're really that touched, then the only acceptable thank-you is marrying me," he teased.

Tessa leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on his lips.

"I must've done so many good things in my past life... to be lucky enough to meet you in this one," she murmured.

"Then I'd better start doing good deeds now, so I can find you again in the next."

Landon bent down and kissed her.

His kiss was unlike hers.

It burned with intensity, filled with raw desire-an unspoken promise.

And Tessa... responded with the same fire, no longer holding back.

After their kiss, Landon pulled her into his arms, and they lay down together. Tessa drifted off, safe in the curve of his body.

Once he was sure her breathing had grown soft and steady, Landon gently

slipped his arm out from under her and rose to leave.

Outside the bedroom, Nathaniel was already waiting.

"Alpha,” he said, "what exactly do you think Nathan's trying to do? I can't make sense of it."

“Doesn't matter. Just make sure we're ready. And while we're at it, we may as well test the new mechanical werewolves we've developed."

Nathaniel grinned. "Already on it."

That night, as Nathan made his way back to the Frost Pack under the veil of rain, five flashes of metallic light tore through the storm.

The Nightshade Pack's newest creation-mechanical werewolves-had arrived.
