Fell for the Alpha-less Queen

Chapter 440 This Isn't Love

"I don't want anything from you. And you'd better not try anything either. I've already found the one I love. I will never accept you!"

The coffee cup in Nathan's hand shattered in his grip.

Even with his fury clearly about

erunt. Tessa remained utterly i

It didn't matter what he did.

She didn't love him. That was all there was to it.

Her heart belonged to Landon-and Landon alone.

"Do you really want to push me to this point? Are you only satisfied if I end up hurting you?" Nathan's voice trembled. He hadn't wanted to threaten her.

But he was out of options.

Faced with this girl and her unwavering resistance, he was completely helpless.

"If by 'hurt' you mean hurting Landon-go ahead and try. If you so much as lay a finger on him, I swear I'll make you wish you were dead."

He had to understand-this wasn't a bluff.

She meant every word.

"Is that so?" Nathan's voice darkened. "Then I guess I'll have to kill him. Because only if he's gone will you come back to me."

If that was the only way...

Then he wouldn't hesitate.

He was confident he could do it. After all, this was his turf. Here, he had every advantage.

Tessa's expression turned to stone.

"So that's it, then. We're enemies now."

If this was how it had to be-so be it.

She stood up. There was nothing left to say.

But before she could even make it to the café doors, Grant appeared, flanked by warriors from the Frost Pack. They blocked every possible exit.

Tessa turned and looked at Nathan.noveldrama

"Tessa, did you think this was Navoris?" Nathan said, slowly rising to his feet. "Last time, I got caught off guard. But now that you're in Yalvaria, you're not going anywhere. Why fight it? Wouldn't it be better to just stay with me?"

Why did she insist on tearing things apart like this?

Chapter 440 This Isn't Love

He truly hadn't wanted it to come to this-but she gave him no choice. Tessa sneered.

He created this mess, and now he dared to blame her?

Did he think the world revolved around what he wanted?

"Nathan. Are you really going to force this?"

Nathan stepped toward her with a gentle smile, his pale fingertips glowing with icy blue light, like he was about to touch something precious he'd finally recovered. "Don't make this harder than it has to be. Come back with me to Frost Pack..."

But before he could even graze her, Tessa's claws slashed through the air without hesitation, striking straight at him.

The moment she walked into the café, she'd sensed the energy field cloaking the space-a containment barrier. No matter how loud the commotion inside, no sound would escape.

Since Nathan refused to listen and now dared to use force against her, she had no reason to hold back.

Nathan's pupils shrank. Instinctively, he summoned a wall of ice to block her strike.

Their powers clashed midair, releasing a spray of shattered frost. Through the glittering shards, Tessa saw the same red beast marks swirling in his eyes-the same look he had five years ago when he pinned her down in that lab and injected her with the gland-restructuring serum.

She spun away from a jagged ice spike, her claws slicing past his throat, leaving a gash on his pale skin streaked with frostbitten blood.

"This is what you're familiar with, isn't it?" she said coldly, stepping back across the ice-strewn floor. The silver ring on her finger suddenly flared with a sharp, blinding light.

Five years ago, she'd destroyed the starlight resonance stone inside the ring-the core sigil of their blood

contract.

Yet somehow, Nathan had pieced together the fragments. Though not fully restored, it was enough to keep the contract intact.

At this distance, the silver band burned against her skin like molten iron.

It was Nathan's warning.

"Pain to mark your prey. Fear to create/dependence... Nathan, you'll never understand what love is."
