Chapter 353 Three Alphas at One Table
"Sigh... falling for a girl covered in secrets- Alpha, you''ve really got it rough
Even chasing Ysabel had been hard enough. But Tessa? With everything unknown about her? That had to be worse.
"I''m fine."
Landon was confident. He believed, without a doubt, they''d end up together.
Tessa stepped out of the private room and headed toward the staircase before finally answering the call.
"Yeah? What is it?" She already knew who it was, so she skipped the pleasantries and got straight to the point.
"Tessa, we''ve wrapped up everything on our end. We''re heading back soon. But before that, I want to see you if you''re free."
"Right now?"
"Yes. What''s wrong? Not a good time?" He really did have something important to discuss.
"How about this? I''ll send you my location. Come here." Tessa said.
"Got it. Send it over, I''ll be right there." Ethan didn''t hesitate.
At this point, his work was mostly done. The interrogation of S was nearlyplete the Council had already used memory-tracing to extract the key intel.
Tessa sent him the location.
Landon and Nathaniel both knew Ethan. Sharing a meal shouldn''t trigger any pheromone conflict... probably.
When Tessa returned to the room, the food had just been served. As soon as she stepped in, Nathaniel perked up.
"Can we eat now? I''m starving!"
It was almost two. Definitely time to eat.
"You''re that hungry?" Tessa hesitated. Inviting Ethan here, would it be rude if they started eating without
him?
"What''s that supposed to mean? Why wouldn''t we eat? Everyone''s already here!"
"Can we wait ten more minutes? Someone else ising," Tessa said, a little embarrassed. "But if you''re really that hungry, go ahead. We can just order again when he gets here."
"Who?" Landon''s tone sharpened. That''s all he cared about
It was just a phone call
now suddenly another person wasing?
"Ethan. You guys know him, right? He said he needed to talk, so I told him to

do you?*
Guys were usually chill about this stuff.. right?
how
"I mind. Very much." Nathaniel sounded deeply aggrieved. If the guy wasing, why not sooner? Wit
right when food arrived?
"Then we''ll wait." Landon said calmly.
It was just lunch. No big deal.
Why
Nathaniel was speechless. Anything Tessa said, Landon would just go along with that much was clear.
Was this really the same decisive, ruthless alpha they knew?
Ethan followed the coordinates Tessa had sent and soon arrived at the restaurant others to be there too.
but he didn''t expect
Landon and Nathaniel both knew Ethan, and vice versa. But all their past encounters had been in official settings - never something this casual.
"Alpha." Ethan gave a polite nod.
Landon returned the greeting with a small nod of his own.
"All right, let''s eat first." Tessa''s stomach was rumbling too. Of all times, Ethan had to pick now to find her.
The private room fell quiet except for the sound of silverware tapping against tes.
Landon and Nathaniel were always like this around outsiders, and Tessa was never one to talk much anyway.
Thankfully, the food here was good. Everyone ate a decent amount.
asked.
Tessa had a decent appetite. Once she''d finished most of her meal, she finally asked, "Ethan, didn''t you say you had something to talk about? Go ahead."
He probably needed to head back to Navoris soon. After all, he was in charge of transporting S back.
Ethan nced at Landon, who sat silent and unreadable on the other side of the table and whatever he''d meant to say, he swallowed it.
Seeing that, Nathaniel couldn''t help but joke, "Ethan, don''t tell me you''re here to confess or something?"
The way he kept hesitating-

The second Nathaniel said that, Landon shot him a cold re. An alpha''s pressure spilled out uncontrobly, and the silverware on the table began to tremble...
