Chapter 369 Ice and Silver
+8 Peats
"So what? What are you going to do?" Walter let out a coldugh. Silver-white pheromones from the Frostmoon Pack surged across the floor. He was a seasoned alpha, and the weight of his presence mmed through the room-so heavy it started to melt the ice daggers suspended around Nathan.
The collision was brutal-Nathan''s icy mist,ced with the scent of snow and decay, mmed into Walter''s silver aura, twisting into a violent storm. Overhead, the chandelier shattered, spraying shards across the floor, while a silver candbrumunched across the room and smashed into the wall, leaving a deep. snarling wolf-shaped dent.
Winona had already retreated to a far corner, unable to withstand the force of their collision. She wanted no part of it-just one misstep and she''d be crushed between two alphas.
Upstairs, Tessa felt the shift in her grandfather''s pheromones and rushed down immediately.
When she saw Nathan striking out at Walter in her own living room, rage ignited in her chest. Her White Wolf aura burst forth, mming into Nathan like a tidal wave.
This bastard again?He came all the way here and tried toy a hand on Grandpa? He must have a death wish. He''s not walking away from this.
Tessa''s arrival lifted the weight pressing down on Walter''s shoulders in an instant.
He turned to her, voice rough but calm. "Tessie. Go upstairs. I''ll handle this."
Their initial exchange had told Walter all he needed to know-he couldn''t win against this man.
But it didn''t matter. He''d fight to hisst breath if it meant protecting her. Even if it cost him his life, he wouldn''t let her get hurt.
"I''m okay, Grandpa." Tessa ced a steady hand on his shoulder. A soft, white glow radiated from her palm, pouring healing energy into him.
He was barely recovering from surgery, and now he was up against the Frost Pack''s alpha. Just a brief sh had left him drained.
She knew him too well. If she hadn''te down when she did, he would''ve fought Nathan to the death without flinching.
If she''d been even a secondter, he would''ve stood his ground till the end-until his wolf spirit faded into nothing.
"Tessa, I finally found you." The moment Nathan saw her, the darkness wrapped around him unraveled. He retracted his pressure immediately, terrified he might identally harm her.
Even he didn''t realize just how much joy burst through his chest at the sight of her.
Tessa''s voice was ice. "Whatever you want, we''ll talk outside."
She couldn''t pretend not to see him now that he''d shown up.
But this was the Sinir family home. If things got violent here, others could get caught in the crossfire.
Nathan didn''t budge. "Tessa,e on. I traveled all the way from Yalvaria to Navoris just to see you. Let

with his scent. Mark it as his.
And he could see how much she cared about her grandfather. If he controlled Walter... then he could control her.
"Tessie, who is this guy?" Walter''s voice was tight with uneasc. He didn''t like Nathan-not one bit.
"Nobody important, Grandpa. Don''t worry about it."
Tessa grabbed Nathan by the arm and dragged him toward the door.
"Tessa, grabbing me the second we see each other? Guess you missed me more than I thought." Nathan''s mood hadpletely flipped. Even being dragged felt like affection to him-like they were flirting.
Tessa shot him a death re. Nathan shut his mouth immediately, but the smile never left his face. It bloomed wider, as if nothing could ruin this moment for him.
"Tessie-" Walter still looked uneasy. "He''s dangerous..."
"I''ve got this, Grandpa." Tessa gave him a steady look. "Trust me."
This was Navoris. Landon''s territory. Even if Nathan was the alpha of the Frost Pack, he wouldn''t dare go too far here.
