Chapter 558 No One Touches Her

Samuel was so stunned he couldn’t speak. After a long pause, he finally muttered, “I can’t believe bit/bb. /bbI /bbmean /bnothing to youpared to your boyfriend. I’m heartbroken!”

Samuel pretended to be wounded, while Landon wore a subtle smile in his eyes–he loved how openly she favored him.

“Alright. Since it’s nothing serious, you should head back. Be careful next time.” Tessa made it clear he was being dismissed.

Samuel’s mouth dropped open. “Wow. Guess I really shouldn’t havee to interrupt your little love nestb./bb” /bHe shot Tessa a wounded look. “Fine, fine. If I’m that unwee, I’ll go.”

He got up from the couch and let out a theatrical huff at Landon.

It was all this guy’s fault. If it weren’t for him, Tessa wouldn’t have kicked him out.

Landon, that walking disaster, was clearly the root of it all!

Landon couldn’t be bothered to react to his immaturity. In front of Tessa, Samuel wasn’t even worth losing

Once Samuel left, the living room fell quiet.

“What really happened to him?” Landon asked.

He might have seemed indifferent, but he knew Samuel was someone important to Tessa–almost like family. If the guy had trouble, it wasn’t something he could ignore.

“It’s nothing serious. Nathan’s been messing with him.” Tessa didn’t try to hide it, knowing it was pointless. “They’re just surface wounds–he heals fast.”

“Nathan?” Landon’s voice turned cold as ice. His pupils narrowed, and the pressure of the obsidian shadow wolf surged out, carrying the weight of Montedra’s alpha king. “He dared sneak into Navoris? When did hee after you?”

He was livid.

Navoris was Nightshade Pack’s territory. He had eyes everywhere. And Nathan had managed to get in? And approach Tessa?

In the mind realm, Flex roared, “That Frost Pack lunatic came into ournd? He’s asking to die!”

Landon’s fingers clenched so tightly they turned pale. He forced down the killing intent–he didn’t want bto /bscare her.

Tessa could feel the fury radiating from him. She gently took his hand, her voice softening. “A few days. He showed up on campus. I warned him to back off. As for Samuel, he can handle himself. And if not, there’s always Michael and the medical corps behind him.”

She looked up, her eyes sincere.“Landon, I didn’t hide it because I don’t trust you. You’re the one bI’ve /bchosen for life. I know you could crush Nathan. But he’s the alpha of Frost Pack. If you two bgo /bbhead/b–bto- /bhead, it won’t stop there. It’ll drag Nightshade Pack into a war, and the Yalvaria wolves won’t sit quietly. bI /bdon’t want you taking that risk for me, especially if it puts your people in danger.”

Landon’s throat tightened. Flex growled low: b“/bShe’s protecting us. She bdoesn’t /bwant us bto /bbtake /bbthe /bhit

His heart warmed. The rage inside him bwas /bsoothed by the calming energy of her white wolf bloodlineb. /bbHe /bsqueezed her hand in return. “Tessa, I’m the alpha king of Montedra. Nathan can’t touch bme/bb. /bbYou /bdon’t have to shoulder this alone. If he dares step on my turf, I’ll make

“I know how powerful you are.” Tessa smiled, rising on her toes to tap his chin. “But you’re my fated bmate/bb. /bbI /bcan’t bear to see you take risks for me. Nathan’s like a viper from the Eclipse Valley–bcrazy /band unpredictable. I don’t want you spilling blood over me. Leave this to me. I can handle it.”

Her voice was soft, tinged with the natural soothing force of her bloodline, and the fire inside Landon bfinally /beased.

He didn’t give a clear promise, but leaned down to kiss her forehead. “If you’re ever in dangerb, /byou Like you said, we’re walking this road together. Everything we face, we face side by side.”

“Mm.” Tessa hugged him, resting her cheek against his chest. The faint scent of pine on him settled her

She hadn’t wanted to keep anything from him.

But Nathan’s obsession was like a snond viper–silent until it struck.

If Landon got involved, it would no longer be a personal grudge. It would ignite a conflict between two major packs–and possibly two nations‘ wolf tribes.

“Come on. Let’s get you dinner.” Landon ruffled her hair. “You’ve been busy all dayi–/iyou must be hungry.” “Yep!” Tessa smiled and grabbed his hand, tugging him toward the door.

After dinner, Landon walked her back to her apartment near campus. He said he had pack matters to take care of and told her to get some rest.

“You rest early too.”

Tessa rose on her toes and kissed him lightly or the lips in parting.

Landon smiled and rubbed her head, then turned to leave.

But the moment he turned around, the warmth in his expression vanishedpletely.

In his eyes, a sharp, cold fury surged.
