Chapter 300 The Alpha Steps In
"We''re here."
+8 Pearls
Landon''s voice pulled Tessa out of her thoughts. She looked up and realized they''d already arrived at Wisteria Apartment.
"You alright? You seem distracted." Landon had noticed something was off. In his mind, Flex growled lowly, having caught a faint trace of unease on Tessa''s scent.
"I''m fine," Tessa said as she unbuckled her seatbelt. "I''m heading up. You should get some rest too." She wasn''t the same person she used to be. Even if he came looking for her now, she wouldn''t be afraid. Landon reached for her hand. “If you''re not in a hurry to go back... can I stay with you tonight?"
Now that Avery Band was abroad and Samuel had left, it was rare that she had time to spend with him.
And he could feel it-Tessa''s heart was slowly opening to him. He had to make the most of every chance they had to be alone, to let their rtionship deepen.
"I mean it. I just want to be with you a little longer. That''s all."
"Do what you want," Tessa said casually.
She turned toward the elevator, but had barely taken a few steps when several tall male werewolves leapt out from the shadows and blocked her path.
Tessa frowned. Seriously? Again? I wasn''t even nning on fighting anyone today.
"Move."
This was already the fifth wave that woman had sent after her.
She didn''t have the patience to keep entertaining them.
"Ms. Sinir, just cooperate. All we want is one hand. If you don''t, it''s not gonna stop there," the lead werewolf sneered, shing sharp fangs.
Tessa chuckled. "And you think I''d just give it to you because you asked? You really didn''t do your homework, did you?" She looked rxed, but her presence hit like a de.
The physicspetition wasing up fast. Sharon clearly couldn''t sit still anymore.
Each time she sent someone, their skill level had improved.
Too bad none of them were even close to being enough.
"Then don''t me us for what happens next."
"No more talking. She hasn''t even awakened her wolf. You think we all need to step in? I''ll handle this myself."

Madam Dawson had already sent four waves of Mistwolf Mercenaries before them-all of them had failed.
Now she''d dispatched some of the top-ranked ones.
"What a joke." The tattooed man lunged-
But before he could even lift his arm, Tessa''s foot mmed into his guts
She moved with blinding speed, explosive strength surging through her werewolf bloodline, andunched him backward like a ragdoll.
Landon had just parked the car and walked up... only to be greeted by chaos.
Looks like his Tessie really was a ma for trouble.
He''d only gone to park, and she was already throwing punches.
The air around the werewolves reeked of blood. The faint sheen of poison on their ws clearly marked them as Mistwolf mercs-killers who''d taken countless lives.
"Get out of my way before I take you out too!" the tattooed man roared. Having been sent flying by a girl, his pride was on fire.
"You''ve got guts, I''ll give you that," Tessa said calmly.
But does he even know who he''s talking to?
If he realized that the man standing in front of him was the alpha of the Nightshade Pack, would he still be this bold?
"Damn right I do!" the merc growled, ready to rip her apart. "Madam Dawson gave orders-we only need one of your hands!"
"Madam Dawson?" Landon''s voice cut through the air like ice. His tone was
cial. She wanted to take Tessa''s hand?
"Sharon Dawson, right?"
"Yeah, that''s right. You scared now? Then get out of the way!"
The tattooed man''s temper was boiling over.
Tessa was speechless.
Mr. Thorne, scared? Yeah right. That would be the day.
"Tessie, step aside and wait for me. I won''t take long." Landon shrugged off his coat and handed it to her.
A golden glint sparked in his eyes. And in an instant, his alpha aura exploded like
a storm, crashing over the mercenaries in a suffocating wave of power that made their instincts scream.
Their wolves trembled uncontrobly...
