Chapter 365 The Alpha King

Tessa hadn''t expected her grandfather to be this nosy. She paused in thought, then turned her head slightly, a little embarrassed. "I do like him... but what happens next depends on how he behaves."
Even though Landon already meant more and more to her, Tessa''s pride wouldn''t let her admit it outright.
"Oh, fair enough. Landon might be impressive, but our Tessa''s not exactly easy to deal with either."
His granddaughter was the most remarkable person in the world-she deserved the very best.
"Alright, Grandpa, I''m heading to Beauty Lux now."
"Go ahead! Be careful."
Tessa left Walter''s room and went straight to Beauty Lux.
The Beauty Lux of today was nothing like the nearly-bankruptpany it used to be. The moment you stepped into headquarters, you could see the confident,posed smiles on everyone''s faces..
These days, they were truly proud to be part of Beauty Lux
Seeing all of it made Tessa emotional. Everything was just... right.
She was more than satisfied with how things had turned out.
Today marked thest working day before the holiday break. Beauty Lux would officially close after today.
Tessa had personally prepared generous gifts for all her employees. She also took time to offer each of them praise and encouragement, leaving everyone touched.
If she hadn''t insisted on it, most of them would''ve happily worked straight through the holiday.
Before heading over, Tessa had messaged Landon to invite him to dinner. By the time she stepped out of Beauty Lux, he was already waiting outside.
Landon opened the passenger door for her himself. "All done?"
"Yeah. What about you?" Tessa looked at him. "It''s not even dinnertime yet. You didn''t need toe this early."
"Rx. I took care of everything before I left."
He wasn''t some low-rank wolf ruled by mating urges-he knew the weight of his responsibilities.
"Just knowing I''d get to see you made me more efficient," Landon said gently.
Tessa couldn''t help but blush. "We''ve only been apart for a few hours, Mr. Landon. Aren''t you a little too clingy?"
"If I had it my way, I''d spend all twenty-four hours of the day with you."
"Okay, that''s enough. Just drive."
She still wasn''t used to how easily he dropped those smooth lines. Her heart was racing out of control

Landon drove them to the Sinir house. As they walked in, Cedric and Winona were on the couch watching TV.
Even as the alpha of Frostmoon Pack, this was. Cedric''s first time meeting Landon. The moment the man stepped inside, Cedric felt a powerful presence- like that of a ruler.
Tessa didn''t bother introducing him. She led Landon straight upstairs to see Grandpa.

"Who''s the guy with Tessa?" Cedric asked.
Since his own alpha session ceremony, this was the first time he''d ever felt such pressure from another person. It was like standing in the presence of a king.
Just hearing Landon''s name made Winona sour.
"Landon."
She didn''t want to say much. This was Tessa''s triumph-and her own failure.
Naturally, she didn''t want to talk about it.
"Who did you say?" Cedric''s voice rose with disbelief. “Alpha Landon of Nightshade Pack?"
"That''s right. Him. Honestly, I think Tessa must''ve drugged him or something. Why else would someone like him go for her?"
Cedric didn''t even register Winona''s bitterness.
All he could think was-Tessa was with the alpha king of Montedra?
The alpha king he hadn''t even had the chance to meet, and Tessa had already brought him home?
In that case, maybe he could use this to get close to Alpha Landon too.
If Landon was willing to step in, then that disputed mineral vein at the border of
three packs-Frostmoon Pack might not just get a bigger share.
It might even be handed over to them entirely.
