    She had to be stronger. Only after awakening the White Wolf inside her could she crush the Starbond Stone scaled in the ring, fake her death, and escape while Nathan was off conquering other packs...


    "What''s this? You worried about me now?"


    Nathan''s voice dragged Tessa out of the shadows of the past.


    She blinked, then saw it-that smug smile tugging at his lips.


    "You are worried," he said, suddenly thrilled. "I knew it."


    "It''s not worry," she said coldly. "I just don''t want you messing with my life anymore. Nathan, I''m warning you-stay away from the people around me."


    Nathan shrugged like it didn''t matter. "You know this ce is dangerous for me. But for you, I''d risk everything. Even my life."


    Tessa scowled. "That''s your problem. No one asked you toe."


    Navoris was Landon''s territory-Alpha Landon. Ruthless, territorial, and fiercely protective of his pack. And Nathan? He ruled the Yalvaria Frost Pack. The two had been enemies for years.


    She''d heard the rumors back in the ck Market. Three years ago, the Nightshade Packunched a surprise attack on the Frost Pack. Landon had led the charge himself, bringing his top warriors and tearing through their defenses like they were nothing. The battle was so brutal taht the Frost Pack paid a heavy price.


    She never found out why Landon struck first, but one thing was clear-he and Nathan had a long, bitter history.


    Now Nathan had the audacity to set foot in Navoris. If Landon caught wind of it, this wouldn''t just be about old grudges. It would be all-out war.


    "Tessa, you don''t have to be so cold," Nathan said, his tone light and teasing. "After everything we went through together at training camp? I show up in your city, and you ean''t even take me out for dinner? That hurts."


    The truth was, before he came here, Nathan had nned out a dozen ways to take Tessa away.


    But after seeing her again? He realized he didn''t need any of them.


    Because now, he had a better way to make her obey... Something far more effective.


    "Doesn''t really matter, though." He added with a smirk. "I know where you live now. If you won''t take me out to eat, I''m fine eating at your ce."


    Now that he knew where she lived, the Bloodbond Ring didn''t matter anymore. Tessa''s eyes went ice-cold. "Are you threatening me?"


    "Threatening you?" Nathan grinned. "I could never. I adore you. Always have." Then, with a sh of irritation, he added, "But your sister, Winona? She''s been running her mouth. I don''t like it."

    Chapter 372 No More Running


    Winona had the nerve to talk trash about Tessa. She clearly needed to be put in her ce.

    Tessa was done ying games. "Nathan, are you done yet? Let''s settle this the old way. You and me. We fight. And if I win-you leave Yalvaria, and you stay the hell out of my life.”


    Five years ago, she couldn''t fight him. She couldn''t stop him. She had no choice but to fake her own death just to get away.


    But now? Now it was a different story.


    Deep inside her, Emma-her wolf-snarled with fury. The same man who once crushed her under his Alpha power was finally about to face the consequences.


    Nathan justughed. "Tessa, I didn''te all this way just to fight you."


    "Then leave."


    "If you really want me gone," he saidzily, "maybe I''ll cancel my hotel and just crash at your ce. It has been a while since I had a proper Christmas... I kind of miss it."


    He hadn''t even finished talking when Tessa moved.


    She vanished from her spot, her fist slicing through the air with pure werewolf strength-aimed straight at Nathan''s throat.


    Her patience had run out. If words wouldn''t get through to him, then force would.


    The weak girl he once controlled was gone. In her ce stood someone strong enough to bring him down.
