Landon shoved the guy aside.

“Mr. Oscar, your current basketball team has a serious character problem. I suggest you rece a few yers–don’t let them tarnish Navoris University’s reputation.”

With that, he walked over to Tessa. She pulled some tissues from her backpack and rose on tiptoe to bwipe /bthe sweat off his face. Landon bent slightly to let her reach, a doting smile in his eyes as he let her bgently /bwipe the moisture from his skin.

“You smell like sweat.” Tessa wrinkled her nose–she liked sports, but hated the stickiness of sweat.

“I’ll shower when we get back. It’s gettingte. Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

Mr. Oscar stood to the side,pletely unable to get a word in and feeling utterly defeated–he didn’t beven /bhave the right to offer advice to this alpha king.

“We were just-” the boy Landon had pushed tried to exin.

“Enough. Don’t say another word.” Mr. Oscar cut him off sharply. “Can’t you read the room? In Navoris, who doesn’t know Mr. Landon is off limits?” The university nevercked talent. If these boys insisted on causing trouble, they could be reced.

“Principal, we really know we were wrong!” the group panicked. “The intercollegiate basketball tournament ising up. If we’re kicked off the team, it’ll fall apart!”

“I don’t have time for this,” Mr. Oscar said with a wave. “Go tell your coach if you’ve got a problem. I’m not wasting another second here.” He paused and added coldly, “And one more thing–iif /ianyone ibreathes /ia word about Mr. Landon’s identity, you’ll deal with the consequences yourself.”

The five werepletely stunned, forced to watch helplessly as Landon and Tessa walked away side by side.

In the distancei, /iNathan had been watching the entire time. He didn’t leave until he saw them enter the apartment building. Then he pulled out a cigarette and lit it.

iThey /iwere living itogether/ii? /i

Just the thought sent a sharp pain through his chest.

Nathan returned to the vi he’d bought in Navoris.

He was already nning to relocate Frost Pack’s core operations here. Only by gaining a foothold on bthis /bnd could he stand a chance against Landon. This sh between alphas would erupt sooner orter–and he needed to prepare his battleground in advance.

Maybe the warning had worked. Nathan didn’t appear for several days, and Tessa finally benjoyed /bbsome /bpeace in her college life.

doorbell rang.

She frowned–very few people knew this address. Who could it be?

She opened the door to find Samuel standing there, lookingpletely disheveled. His clothes were btorn /bbin /bseveral ces:

“What happened?” Tessa’s heart sank.

She knew Michael had assigned Samuel to handle the relocation of the werewolf medical organization. He had been busy running around Montedrately–and someone so conscious of appearances wouldn’t bshow /bup like this without something serious happening.

“Dammit! That clingy bastard Nathan just won’t quit!” Samuel stormed inside, swearing. “He’s like ba /bbdamn /bleech–I can’t shake him off!”

iNathan/i?

Tessa frowned. No wonder he hadn’t shown uptely–he’d been making trouble for Samuel insteadb. /b

She shoved Samuel onto the couch. “Don’t move! Where are you hurt?” No way she was stripping him down in public just to check.

“It’s fine, just some surface wounds. You know my healing rate,” Samuel waved her off. He was more concerned about something else. “He didn’te after you, did he?”

“He did.”

“What? He already came after you?!” Samuel instantly exploded.

“Who?”

Landon had juste out of the shower, a towel loosely wrapped around his waist. He frowned at ithe /isound of their conversation.

Seeing Samuel, his expression darkened even more.

“What are you doing here?” Samuel nced at him, then turned to Tessa, “He even took a shower? Landon, I’m warning you–Tessa’s still young. Don’t you dare try anything shady!”

Samuel jumped to his feet, pointing at Landon and yelling.

Landon ignored him, his gaze sweeping coldly over Samuel. “Who’d you piss off? Showing up looking like a mess–don’t dump your problems on Tessa.”

He wasn’t worried–he just didn’t want Samuel dragging trouble to her doorstep.

“I’ve pissed off a lot of people, alright? Who knows which idiot it was this time,” Samuel scoffed. bHe /bbwas /bba /bbbit /b
