Chapter 350 The Gift at the Gate


    Dream grabbed Tessa''s hand. "So you''re really not mad at me?"

    That was important. Sure, she''d acted on her own this time - but S was a target the Night Guild had seriously wanted to take down.


    "I''m not mad. You know what kind of person I am." Tessa gave her a firm look. "But next time I''m not around, you need to be more careful. Don''t go provoking people you can''t handle, got it?"


    Since Dream had called her in just for the S operation, and that was done, it was time for Tessa to head back.


    Christmas was around the corner. She''d promised her grandfather she''d spend the holidays with him - and if she broke that promise, he''d definitely start worrying again.


    "What? You''re leaving already?” Dream looked a little disappointed. “You just got here!"

    "I really want to go back with you." She sighed. But the Night Guild needed people. Dream couldn''t leave even if she wanted to.


    Tessa tapped her on the cheek.


    "Be good, okay? If somethinges up and you can''t handle it, go straight to Master." The Night Guild was his own creation - time for him to take responsibility for it.


    "Okay!"


    After giving a few final instructions about Night Guild affairs, Tessa left the safe house and took a cab to the Falindale Grand Hotel.


    so she hacked into the Once she checked in and got to her room, she worried about being tracked hotel''s system and changed her registration info before finally rxing and heading to the shower.


    Elsewhere, Landon also arrived at the Falindale Grand Hotel.


    He was still sweaty from the earlier fight. He needed a proper shower and a change of clothes before going to see his girl.


    Nathaniel, meanwhile, had already handed S over to their contact in the Falindale underground stronghold and was personally handling the interrogation.


    By the time Landon was cleaned up, Nathaniel was back. He handed over the file.


    "Alpha, this is everything we got out of S." To keep it secure, he''d done the questioning himself.


    Landon flipped through the documents, his expression growing darker with every page.


    That damn S had set up multiple drugbs across Montedra and had even hidden the main base inside a pup breeding facility. No wonder Landon''s full-force crackdowns had never touched the heart of the operation.


    "Should we hand him over to Ethan now?" Nathaniel asked.


    "Yeah." Ethan was known for his integrity - fair, impartial, never swayed by


    power or interest. Landon

    I wouldn''t mind pulling him to his side if he got the chance.


    "All right. I''ll have our people deliver this little gift to Ethan. Hopefully, he won''t disappoint us."

    Pearls


    Nathaniel had heard plenty of stories about Ethan, but he also knew it wouldn''t be easy to win him over. Ethan belonged to the special ops division directly under the Werewolf Council the highest judicial authority in the werewolf world.


    The Council wrote thews, settled disputes, and its special forces operated independently of any regional power answering only to the Council.


    As Montedra''s Alpha King, Landon had to report to them. Ethan''s unit was both a partner and a watchdog


    a delicate bnce of cooperation and oversight.


    Meanwhile, on Ethan''s end, the entire team was in low spirits. After the operation, they''d failed to capture Sand one of their own had been seriously injured, unable to heal, and was now in Falindale''s werewolf hospital.


    This had been their best shot at catching S, and they''d blown it. Now that he''d escaped, he''d only get more careful. Who knew when they''d get another chance?


    Just as the frustration was setting in, a ck, unmarked car pulled up outside the special ops headquarters and tossed a bup sack at the entrance before speeding off.


    One of the werewolf guards approached cautiously and opened the sack - and what he saw inside had him rushing inside to report.


    Ethan came out quickly with a team – and found S, hogtied and beaten so badly his face was swollen beyond recognition.


    Simon blinked in disbelief. "That''s really S? The guy our whole unit couldn''t catch? Who the hell took him down?"


    "Enough. Get him inside." Ethan ordered.


    They''d finally caught S. The priority now was to dig into his entirework - upstream, downstream, everyb and dealer connected to him.


    As for who delivered him to their doorstep... they''d deal with thatter.
