Chapter 287 Tessa''s Cool With It
Finished
Most people probably didn''t notice, but as the alpha king of Montedra, Landon picked up on the subtle shift in the air around her with his unnaturally sharp
senses.
It was like a flicker of light in the dark-there for a heartbeat, gone the next-but he caught it; he held onto it tight.
That was a strong, unique wolf aura-one th up with excitement; Flex even wanted toe out and track down the source of that presence himself... left a deep impression on him and got his wolf, Flex, riled
Tessa had already stopped trying to hide the fact that she had a wolf, so she nodded. "Yeah. I have a wolf."
As she spoke, she kept her eyes locked on Landon, trying to read his reaction after she''d kept this from him for so long.
But there wasn''t any disappointment or anger on his face-just warmth and joy.
He pulled her into a hug. “That''s amazing. You have your own wolf now; you''ve got your own strength to fall back on. You won''t be so easy to corner anymore."
And suddenly, everything made sense. The reason Tessa had been able to defeat more than a dozen werewolf mercenaries on her own, the way she could handle every problem without breaking a sweat-it wasn''t that she was some weakling who hadn''t awakened; she was actually a powerful, awakened high-rank wolf!
Knowing that, Landon was genuinely happy for her...
Feeling the strength in Landon''s embrace and hearing the care in his voice, a wave of warmth spread through Tessa.
Her tense body slowly began to rx, and a smile of relief tugged at her lips.
In that moment, all the worry and anxiety in her heart faded away.
She''d made the right choice after all; he was someone she could trust-someone who always stood on her side, thinking of her first.
That only made Tessa more certain of her decision-on her eighteenth birthday, she would tell him her biggest secret, not only did she have a wolf, but it was a rare White Wolf.
Because the White Wolf was so powerful, it had always been seen as a threat by the alpha leaders of the werewolf world and hunted down, which was why their numbers had dwindled so badly.
But she believed that if it was Landon, he''d only be happy that she had a powerful White Woit; he''d never see her as a threat...
Tessa stepped out of Landon''s arms. "I''m heading upstairs."
"Yeah. Go on."
Final exams were over too; she could finally get a little rest over the next few days.
And the fact that Tessa was willing to tell him about her wolf-this secret-made Landon happy. It meant

The next day, Avery''s manager went straight to SkyEcho Entertainment to find Evan in person.
Finished
Evan had beenpletely swamped these past couple of days, dealing with the fallout from the hacking incident targeting Zane Corp.
His wolf side was growing restless from the stress; his eyes flickered with a dangerous light, and a heavy, oppressive energy rolled off him. Even the air around him felt dense, like it was weighed down by his
emotions.
So when he saw Avery''s manager walk into headquarters, it only made him more annoyed.
"You''d better have a damn good reason for being here. Even though Avery Band basically kept thepany afloat, Evan didn''t like Avery at all; he was too unruly for his taste.
"Evan, here''s the situation," the manager said humbly. Steven hurt his hand, so Avery''s decided to terminate their contract with thepany."
"Terminate the contract? Are you kidding me?” Evan snapped. “Avery Band only got this far under my leadership. This is their prime money-making phase, and they want to leave me now? Dream on!"
"Evan, wouldn''t it be better to end things on a good note? You''ve never liked Avery anyway; what''s the point of keeping them in a stranglehold?" The manager had been by Avery Band''s side for a long time-he knew exactly how far Evan had taken things.
Evan''s tone dripped with sarcasm. "A good note? Mateo after all the time you''ve worked under me, you still think you can say crap like that? Don''t you think that''sughable?"
