Chapter 595 The Breaking Point

    That night, after Nathaniel finished handling the cleanup, he came to take Ysabel home.

    Only Landon and Tessa remained in the apartment, curled up together on the couch. The warm bamber /bglow of themp spilled across their intertwined hands.

    “I’ve decided,” Landon said quietly, “it’s time to make a move on the Frost Pack. This wasn’t something he could keep from her.

    Tessa nodded, her fingertips brushing lightly across the back of his hand. “I know.” The Frost Pack had crossed too many lines. This time, they had tried to kill. If they didn’t put an end to it now, it would be a threat they could never ignore. “We’ll do it together.”

    She wasn’t about to let him face this storm alone.

    “Alright. Together.” Landon squeezed her hand. Taking down Yalvaria’s long–established Frost Pack meant setting an airtight trap. They were deeply rooted in their territory–touching one thread could set off a war. One slip, and it would be chaos between the two packs.

    Landon began nning that very night. Once Hudson, Cameron, and the others heard, they didn’t try to stop him. Instead, they quickly joined in. The core forces of the Nightshade Pack began moving in silence.

    Meanwhile, at the Frost Pack’s fortress in Yalvaria, Nathan had just regained consciousness. When he heard what Jeremy had done, hepletely lost it.

    “I told you to stay out of my business! Why the hell won’t you ever listen to me?!” he shouted, still iweak /iand propped up by his not–yet–healed body.

    Jeremy hadn’t expected him to wake up so soon, much less find out what had happened. He had hired one of Montedra’s top six assassins, and they had all been wiped out. That failure alone was enough to enrage

    him.

    “Nathan, anyone who dares harm our family–I won’t let them off easy!” Jeremy growled, his tone brooking

    no argument.

    “Then go after Landon! Why did you go after Tessa?!” Nathan’s face twisted in fury. Pain radiated from his chest wound, but he didn’t care. “If you every another hand on her, I swear I’ll disown you! I’ll protect her with my life!”

    “You’repletely blinded!” Jeremy shook with rage. “That woman doesn’t love you! You keep throwing yourself into danger for her, and she’s going to destroy you!”

    Tessa’s life… how was it this hard to take?

    “Then let her destroy me!” Nathan’s eyes were red. “If I die at her hands, so be it!”

    “She and Landon are about to bond! They’re even preparing the formal ceremony!” Jeremy finally dropped the harshest blow, hoping to shatter his son’s delusions. “How are you still not letting go?!”

    “Impossible!” Nathan clenched his fists so hard the knuckles turned white. “She’s mine in this life–no one else can have her!”

    Jeremy looked at his son’s twisted obsession and felt despair sink into his chest. “Fine. I won’t touch bher /bagain. But you need to stay away from her. There are plenty of women in this world. Whatever kind byou /bwant, I’ll find them for you.”

    bHe /bjust wanted his son to bbe /bsafe.

    “My life is not yours to manage.” Nathan turned away, his voice as cold as ice. No matter bhow /bbmany /bbwomen /bthere were in the world, his heart had always held only one.

    She was a brand burned into his bones–something he couldn’t carve out or grind away. Just thinking of bher /bhurt so badly he could barely breathe, and still, he couldn’t quit this pain.

    “For now, I’m sending you to a recovery facility,” he said suddenly, his voice filled with unshakable finalityb. /b“I’ll handle Frost Pack business. You’re not to interfere again.”

    “You’re trying to lock me up?” Jeremy snapped his head up, eyes wide in disbelief.

    Before he could object, Nathan barked for the guards. “Take him away. Until I say otherwise, he’s not to bstep /ba foot outside that facility.”

    “Nathan! You dare?!” Jeremy roared, livid and stunned. “Everything I did was for you! And you’d do this to me–for a woman?!”

    Nathan didn’t turn back.

    Tessa was safe.

    If anything had really happened to her, he would’ve buried the entire pack–himself included–alongside

    her.

    The guards dragged Jeremy out, still shouting, and silence returned to the room. Nathan walked to the window, staring out at the frozen ins stretching beyond.

    His eyes churned with wild obsession.

    A bonding ceremony?

    That should’ve been with him.

    “Tessa,” he murmured, his voice quiet but deadly resolute, “I’ll make sure youe back to me willingly- even if it costs me everything.”
