Chapter 303 Distracted by the Alpha


    The next morning, Landon personally made Tessa a hearty breakfast.


    After they finished eating, he asked, "Got anything on your schedule today?"

    Tessa thought about it. It seemed like everything had pretty much been handled. Beauty Luxe was running smoothly with Harper in charge-there was nothing for her to worry about there.


    The only thing left unresolved was Avery Band''s contract situation.


    But she''d already handed that over to Landon, and all she had to do now was wait for updates from him.


    So when she thought about it... she didn''t actually have anything nned today.


    "Nothing."


    "In that case,e with me to Thorne Corp. You''re heading to Falindale in a few days, right? We won''t be able to see each other for a while."


    "You''re so busy at Thorne Corp-do you really need me there?"


    Landon nodded seriously. "Yes. I get so much more done when you''re around. "...Fine."


    If that was the case, she might as well go game at Thorne Corp. It didn''t really matter where she gamed-it was all the same.


    And her wolf seemed happy to be in Landon''s territory too, enjoying the calming pine scent of his pheromones.


    The two of them stepped out of Wisteria Apartment and immediately saw Nico waiting outside.


    Nico spotted hering out with that man but didn''t say anything.


    Landon nced at Nico. Sharon''s son was decent enough-just a shame he had feelings for Tessa.


    "Something wrong?" Tessa asked Landon to wait a moment and walked up to Nico.


    "I''m sorry. If you''d never met me, maybe none of this would''ve happened to you," Nico said quietly. His wolf let out a soft, miserable growl in the back of his mind, ashamed of what his mother had done.


    The moment he said that, Tessa understood-he must have found out what his mother had done.


    "Nico, you''re you. Your mom is your mom. I don''t lump people together like that. You don''t have to apologize for her."


    Nico was a good person. His wolf soul was pure-something rare among the noble wolves of Mistwolf Pack.


    "You really have a gift in physics. Keep working hard. Don''t let this stuff drag you down."


    This didn''t have anything to do with her anymore, but since they were ssmates, she figured she might as

    -it meant a lot to him.


    "I''m heading out."


    Tessa turned to leave.


    Landon wasn''t exactly known for his patience. It wouldn''t be good to keep him waiting too long.


    Nico watched her walk back to that tall, striking man-and felt that dull ache in his chest.


    It seemed like he would never be able to give her the kind of safety and security that man could.


    When Tessa finally walked over, Landon took her hand. "What did he want?"


    "Nothing big. Just to apologize."

    His mother had just had her hand taken-and he still came to apologize. The kid''s wolf soul was tougher than most of Mistwolf Pack''s elite.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Tessa still didn''t know that Landon was the one who''d had Sharon''s hand destroyed.


    "Nothing," he said. "Just thinking what a shame it is that your kind-hearted ssmate has a mom like that."


    When they arrived at Thorne Corp, Landon took Tessa straight to the nieth floor-his personal domain.


    Once someone brought her snacks and fruit, he immediately shifted into full work mode.


    Tessa, on the other hand, couldn''t seem to get into gaming mode.


    Her wolf, Emma, was absolutely giddy from being immersed in Landon''s presence, and itpletely threw off her focus.


    What do I do? She sighed inwardly. Am I... crushing on him now too?


    Watching Landon work, his alpha aura red like dark fire-maic, powerful, and utterly captivating.


    She waspletely spellbound...
