Chapter 268 Just Let Me Handle It


    As Tessa walked out of the hospital, she spotted Landon waiting by the car.


    "Mr. Thorne, you should head back. I''ll grab a ride on my own."

    She hadn''t let hime in because she knew perfectly well he and Samuel couldn''t stand each other..


    Landon raised a brow. "It''ste. It''s not safe for a girl to be out alone."


    "Not safe?" Tessa smirked. "I''m pretty sure the ones running into me are the ones who should be worried."


    "You''re nning to look into what happened to Steven, aren''t you? Leave it to me. I''ll give you the answer


    you want."


    Tessa almost turned him down out of habit-until she remembered that look he always had when she rejected his help.


    After a pause, she nodded. "Okay. I''ll leave it to you."


    She trusted him. If Landon said he''d handle it, he would.


    Landon was obviously pleased she didn''t turn him down. He leaned in and kissed her lightly on the lips.


    "I''m happy you let me help. None of your problems are ever a burden to me," he murmured. "Being able to take care of things for you... it''s an honor. I just hope you''ll lean on me a little more."


    Caught off guard by his sudden affection, Tessa froze. Her cheeks flushed under the weight of his warm


    gaze.


    She quickly looked down. "We should go."


    Landon smiled and opened the car door for her.


    After dropping her off, he dialed Cameron.


    Right then, Cameron was tangled up with a very attractive female werewolf, both of them naked and just about to get to the fun part when his phone rang.


    "Seriously? This better be important," he growled, snatching up the call without checking the screen.


    "Cameron."


    The moment he heard Landon''s voice, Cameron sat upright, panic shing in his eyes.


    "Alpha?! Uh-yeah, yes sir! I mean, what''s up?"


    "You need to look into something. I want a full report tomorrow."


    Cameron immediately straightened up. "Yes, sir. What is it?"


    Landon quickly filled him in on what had happened to Steven.

    pissed.


    Meanwhile, inside the apartment, Tessa handed Landon a ss of water.


    "Thanks. Really."


    Landon pulled her into his arms.


    "As much as I''d rather keep you here, you''ve had a long night. Go shower and get some sleep."


    Tessa nodded.

    Live shows were exhausting enough as it was-especially Avery Band''s.


    Everything was done live, and even though she''d awakened as a White Wolf,


    she''d jumped in cold tonight. Her body was wiped.


    Landon ran her a bath and tested the water temperature.


    "I added a couple drops of essential oil. It''ll help you rx."


    "Thanks. You should get going."


    A Nightshade Pack alpha doing things like this for her... it was hard not to be charmed.


    Landon pulled the bathroom door closed behind her.


    When she heard the front door shut, she finally slipped out of her clothes and into the tub.


    The water was just right. She sank into it with a quiet sigh.


    It was nearly 1 a.m. by the time she came out, wrapped in a robe and toweling her hair dry, when her phone rang.


    Lina.


    "Hey, Lina. What''s going on? It''ste.”


    Something serious must''ve happened for her to call at this hour.


    "Phantom... we''ve got a problem. Someone found the base."


    Tessa frowned.


    The base''s location was supposed to be top secret-no one had ever been able to find it.


    "Who was it?"


    Even if someone did know where the headquarters was, so what?


    Lightwing Order''s true value was never the hardware-it was the people. Most of


    the senior members weren''t even stationed there.


    "Evan. Alpha of Thornbane Pack."
