Chapter 330 Testing the Guardians
Finished
When L learned that Yardley had kidnapped Walter, she rushed to the living room the moment he returned safely, worry etched across her face.
"Dad, are you okay?" she asked gently.
The whole situation had been terrifying.
Walter only gave her a small nod.
Winona was also there.
"Grandpa... did my dad really kidnap you?" she asked, still unable to believe it.
L elbowed her sharply. Does this girl not know how to speak properly? How could she ask something like that right now? She immediately regretted telling her anything.
"Winona, go upstairs and check if your dad''s awake. This doesn''t concern you,” L said, trying to get her out of the room.
But just then, Tessa entered-and the moment Winona saw her, she plopped herself down on the couch.
"Mom, if she can be here, why can''t I? Am I not your daughter too?" No matter what it was, she always had topare herself to Tessa.
"Winona-" L''s voice was sharp with warning. Couldn''t she see their grandfather was already holding it together?
Reluctantly, Winona stomped upstairs, mming doors behind her. She fumed in her room, feeling like everyone only had eyes for Tessa. Like she didn''t exist.
Tessa walked to Walter''s side and sat down, pouring him a cup of tea herself. "Yardley''s still not awake?" she asked, looking to L.
Having witnessed Tessa''s terrifying strength at Sinir Corp, L couldn''t help but feel a little intimidated now-by the daughter she used to look down on.
"Not yet... I''ll go check," she mumbled and quickly excused herself upstairs.
Tessa didn''t mind waiting. Yardley owed a debt-and she had every intention of collecting it.
Just then, two new figures entered the house.
They were lean and powerful, exuding the quiet menace unique to warriors from the Nightshade Pack. But outwardly, they looked ordinary-perfect for blending in, making them ideal personal guards.
"Ms. Tessa," one of them said respectfully. "Alpha sent us. From now on, your grandfather''s safety is in our hands."
"If you want to protect my grandfather, show me what you''re capable of first." Tessa
serious.
ne was cool, but
Even if Landon had sent them, she couldn''t take any chances-not with her grandfather''s life.

"How would you like us to prove it, Ms. Tessa?" the other asked, a glint of challenge in his eyes. "You want to test our ws? Or find out which of us bites harder?"
They were warriors, after all-battle instinct burned in their blood.
"Nothingplicated," Tessa saidzily. "If you can beat me, that''s good enough."
"...What? Ms. Tessa, are you serious?"
This felt like an insult.
"Ms. Tessa, we''re warriors. We don''t spar with cubs."
They were elite Nightshade Pack fighters, trained and tested on the battlefield.
The idea of fighting a young girl felt absurd.
"It''s fine. I told you to do it. Mr. Landon won''t punish you."
If she was going to entrust them with Walter''s life, she had to be absolutely sure.
"Are you certain, Ms. Tessa? What if you get hurt?"
This wasn''t just yful sparring. If she got injured, how could they exin that to their alpha?
"Enough talking. Let''s take it outside."
Only strength could speak for itself. If they couldn''t prove they had it, she wouldn''t risk her grandfather''s safety-no matter who sent them.
The two exchanged a nce.
"Well, alright. But don''t say we didn''t warn you." It was best to set the terms in advance.
Walter interrupted, his voice firm: "Tessa, don''t be ridiculous. These two are elite Nightshade Pack warriors. Even with their wolf aura suppressed, I can still feel the pressure-and I''m an old alpha. You can trust them."
He already knew Landon''s true identity-and he trusted himpletely.
Tessa was speechless.
Ridiculous? All she wanted was to be cautious.
"Grandpa, it''s fine. I can handle it."
With that, she led the two werewolves into the courtyard.
It was time to see just how worthy they really were.
