Chapter 360 Trouble in the Room


    When Tessa stepped out of the shower and saw Landon in her room, she didn''t even find it surprising anymore.


    "Where''s Ysabel? Didn''t she say she wasing over after her shower?"


    "I ran into her. She said she had a great time today and wanted to get some rest carly" Landon lied without hesitation.


    "Oh..." Tessa raised an eyebrow but didn''t press it. She simply kept drying her hair as she walked over.


    "You should get some sleep too. You''ve been driving all day you must be exhausted." Landon was probably the most tired of them all.


    "I''m not tired."


    As the alpha of the Nightshade Pack, his stamina and energy far exceeded that of most werewolves.


    He got up, took the towel from her hands, and motioned for her to sit on the couch. Then he started drying her hair for her.


    "Mr. Landon, I can do it-"


    Landon gently but firmly pressed down on her shoulders. "I know you can. But I want to do it. Just sit back and rx."


    Tessa didn''t argue again, letting him take over.


    His hands were soft and steady, pressing lightly along her scalp. It felt so good that Tessa closed her eyes..


    Just then, her phone lit up.


    "You got a message," Landon said after ncing at the screen.


    Tessa opened her eyes and reached for her phone.


    Her hair was already mostly dry. Landon now sat with her on the single-seater couch - which had once felt spacious, but now felt tight with the two of them squeezed in.


    So Landon simply pulled her into hisp.


    From that angle, she could see his sharp jawline and those long, definedshes...


    "Who was it?" Landon reminded her, she still hadn''t read the message.


    With his pine-scented pheromones all around her, Tessa had beenpletely distracted. Only after his prompt did she nce at her phone.


    "Samuel."


    She got up off hisp.


    "You should head out. I need to call him."

    Reluctantly, Landon let go.


    "Go ahead. I''ll wait here."


    Tessa stepped onto the balcony and dialed Samuel''s number.


    He picked up instantly.


    "Tessa! You finally remembered to call me! So? Did you make it back from Falindale yet?"


    "Yeah. Why?"


    "Nothing major. Just letting you know- Nathan''s back in Yalvaria."


    "Oh." She really didn''t feel like talking about Nathan.


    "Don''t let your guard down. Word is he saw you in Falindale, and now he''s got


    people out looking for you everywhere."


    Tessa frowned in confusion.


    He saw her


    and then just left?


    Samuel seemed to guess what she was thinking. "Apparently something happened with his father. That''s why he went back."


    He''d told her to stay put in Navoris for a reason. It was Landon''s core territory - Nathan wouldn''t dare make a move here.


    "Okay. Got it. It''ste. I''m tired."


    "What? I''ve been worried sick about you, and now you want to hang up after just a few minutes? You heartless girl."


    "Landon''s still in my room."


    "What?! You and Landon are in the same room?!" Samuel''s voice shot up. "Tessa, I''m warning you! Landon is a grown man - a highly possessive Montedra Alpha King, no less! You''re still a teenage girl. Just the two of you alone in a room at night - it''s dangerous!"


    Before he could say more, Tessa hung up.


    Honestly, Samuel could be so annoying sometimes.


    She walked back inside and approached Landon.


    "Why are you still here?"


    "Waiting for you."


    "Waiting for what? Samuel says I''m underage and that you better behave yourself."


    Landon frowned. "What''s that got to do with him? Tessa, that Samuel''s no good. Let''s not talk to him anymore."

    Chapter 360 Trouble in the Room


    Tessa: "You two really do have the exact same opinion of each other"


    Hadn''t Samuel said something simr before?


    "I''m nothing like him," Landon said, clearly irritated by theparison.


    "Oh."


    Tessa didn''t argue. If Landon said he was different, then he was different.


    Landon looked a little hurt. "So in your eyes, I''m just some beast waiting to pounce?"


    "Not at all. Honestly, you''re very gentlemanly."


    Tessa had never doubted that.


    "Then since I''m such a gentleman, and it''s alreadyte, can I leave now and let you sleep?"


    + PASIS


    Landon gave a helplessugh, reaching over to flick her nose affectionately. After all that talking, this was her whole n to get rid of him?


    Not letting her off so easily, Landon picked her up and strode straight toward her bed...
