"I''m not nervous..."


    te Pearl


    Though Tessa wore a smile, the tips of her cars were flushed bright red. "That''s impossible. But just like you said-whether or not we''re fated mates, we''ll still be each other''s only one."


    So even with her heart pounding, she still had the mind to tease him.


    Her fingers trailed up the back of Landon''s neck, raking lightly through his short hair. As they curled around the base of his neck, she deliberately let her nails scrape over his sensitive skin. The moment he inhaled sharply, she leaned in and brushed a kiss against the corner of his lips. "But more than nerves... I''m looking forward to how your pheromones will feel on my nd"


    At her unmistakable hint, Landon''s pupils trembled; his arms tightened fiercely around her, as though he wanted to fuse her into his own body.


    "Tessa, don''t tempt me. I won''t be able to hold back," he growled, Adam''s apple bobbing, his eyes were dark with restrained desire.


    If she kept pushing him like this, he really would lose control and press her down into the snow, iming her in the raw, primal way of wolves...


    Tessa let out a quietugh. “Then don''t hold back."


    She''d already made up her mind-now that she was of age, she wasn''t going to suppress her physical desire for him any longer. She wanted to pin him down in the snow and finally be one with him,pletely.


    "Just wait. Once the clock hits midnight, I''m not letting you go." Landon''s voice turned hoarse, a grow! threading through it; his eyes burned hot enough to set her aze.


    Tessa''s eyes lifted, her tongue flicking lightly across her bottom lip. "We''ll see who ends up begging first."


    Landon couldn''t get enough of this vibrant, seductive side of Tessa. His throat moved as he dropped soft kisses along the corner of her mouth. "Thirty seconds left. Ready, Tessie?"


    Tessa didn''t reply. She simply guided hisrge hand to her chest, letting him feel the rapid beat of her heart, excitement and nervousness knotted together.


    As the final ten-second countdown began, she slowly closed her eyes. She could feel Emma nuzzling close to Flex in their shared consciousness; their pheromones surged like a tidal wave across the snowy ground, transforming the space into a world that belonged only to them.


    The moment the clock struck midnight and shattered through the snowden cedar forest, Tessa''s pupils contracted sharply-because in Landon''s eyes, a surge of deep blue light erupted like a key unlocking the innermost chambers of her soul.


    In the instant their eyes met, time seemed to splinter into a thousand shards of crystal; each one reflected their search for each other across the expanse of time.


    It was a tremor more instinctive than breathing-like stardust aligning atst; like ciers finally melting.


    Destiny, weathered through countless lifetimes, burst into being with a force that tightened her throat until all she could hear was her heartbeat pounding like a drum. At the same time, a hot current shot from the nd at her nape straight to her fingertips.

    Chapter 399 Thirty Seconds to Wild


    Landon''s pinewood scent sharpened into rity—it wasn''t just a smell, but a summons engraved Into her DNA; sharp like melted snow, burning like pine resin ame. It clutched her heart in invisible hande painful, but achingly sweet.


    And her lily-of-the-valley fragrance crystallized into a silver mist in the night sky. The moment Landon inhaled it deep into his lungs, a suppressed whimper broke from his throat-like a wolf who had finally found its long-lost moon.


    It''s him! Emma''s jubnt cry and Flex''s deep growl exploded in both their minds. He''s our fated mate! The two ancient wolves collided in the spiritual ne, their union unraveling the energy of Starfall Lake that had been building for three hundred years, now dissolving into a murmuring tide.


    Tessa saw the light in Landon''s eyes quake violently-like thousands of stars ring to life at once.


    His fingers dug deep into her waist; her nails had already bitten into the back of his neck. Both of them trembled beneath the overwhelming force of destiny that had struck without warning...
