Chapter 428 Territory Lines
Alpha, our first stop in Yalvaria will be Astrovia. That''s where the biggest issues are happening right now Nathaniel reported.
"Alright. Once we''ve handled things there, if there''s time, we can check on the other branches in Yalvaria as well.
As Nathaniel and Landon discussed business, a cabin steward brought over red wine and poured sses for both of them. Just as she was about to step away, Landon called out to her.
"Alpha, is there something else?" she asked politely.
"Bring a nket for my girlfriend, would you? She might get cold while she''s sleeping."
Even in the middle of a work discussion, Landon didn''t forget about Tessa, who was resting just a few seats
away.
"Of course, Alpha."
The cabin steward went to fetch a nket for Tessa.
"Ms. Tessa, Alpha asked me to bring this for you. If you need anything else, please don''t hesitate to let me know," the steward said with professional grace.
"No need, thank you."
That man, honestly-he could move her heart at any moment.
With him around, she didn''t need to worry about anything. He always thought of everything for her.
Tessa couldn''t help but nce in his direction.
And as if sensing it, Landon looked back at her too.
Their eyes met across the distance, and even with space between them, the air sizzled with intensity.
Nathaniel had been talking for quite a while before he realized Alpha wasn''t listening.
Following his gaze-
There it was again. Another dose of PDA.
Are you kidding me?
They were halfway across the continent and still managed to flirt like this?
"Alpha, I really shouldn''t havee," Nathaniel groaned. "I''m just a third wheel here. You two should''vee alone."
"What are youining about? Rx, I heard everything you said."
"...Fine."
Of course. Alpha was just that powerful-capable of multitasking even in love and business.

"Anything else?"
Nathaniel shook his head. "That''s it."
Then get some rest. We''ve got a little over three hours before we reach Yalvaria." With that, Landon stood and headed back toward Tessa.
He was always efficient. One exnation was enough for him to understand the situationpletely.
Seeing how eager he was, Nathaniel chuckled.
"Guess it''s true-love turns everyone into the same kind of fool." Nathaniel finally let it go.
Fine. He''d survive-for now.
Once he finally won over Ysabel, he was definitely going to unt it in their faces.
But seriously-he''d only been gone for a few hours and he already missed her. What was she doing rignit now?
Lately, she''d been spending a lot of time with the members of Avery''s band. That worried him.
Honestly, Avery was a dangerously strong rival.
Good-looking, insanely talented, could sing like a dream-and on top of that, he was Ysabel''s idol.
Yeah... Nathaniel was seriously worried she might fall for the guy.
No way. He had to wrap up this Yalvaria trip quickly and rush back to keep an eye on his girl.
Tessa wasn''t in a deep sleep, and stirred the moment Landon returned.
He sat beside her and gently let her rest against his shoulder.
"There''s still time. Go back to sleep."
The position wasfortable, and knowing he was beside her, Tessa closed her eyes and drifted off again.
Meanwhile, in Yalvaria-
Grant respectfully handed over thetest report to Nathan. "Alpha, Landon''s already en route to Astrovia. Tessa is with him... she''s apanying him on this trip."
Nathan was smoking a cigar. Hearing Grant''s words, he pressed the lit cigar hard into the ornate onyx ashtray with pale, tense fingers.
Embers jumped up and burned a red mark on the back of his hand-but he didn''t flinch.
A low, raspy chuckle escaped his throat. "Get ready. We''ll wait for them in
Astrovia."
After all this time, Tessa had finally stepped into his territory.

What a perfect opportunity.
He hadn''t done well enough back in Navoris, but this time, she was on his home ground.
Did she really think she could leave?
No. Not this time.
He wouldn''t let her go back.
She would stay here-With him. Forever.
