Chapter 443 Preparing for War

When Tessa and Landon returned to the villa, the old butler had already prepared lunch.

Nathaniel was still out handling affairs at the branch office and hadn't returned yet. "Mr. Landon, Ms. Tessa-you're back! Lunch is ready. Would you like to eat now?" the butler asked respectfully as he waited by the door.

"Let's wash up and eat. You probably didn't have much at the café," Landon said gently. The place might have offered desserts, but he knew Tessa didn't care for

sweets.

"Mm." Tessa nodded and went to wash her hands.

When she returned, Landon pulled out her chair for her and helped her sit.

"Do you have anything planned this afternoon?" she asked.

"Nothing urgent. Nathaniel can handle it. I'll stay here with you," he said. He didn't want work to come between them.

"Landon, it's okay. If you've got things to do, go ahead. You don't need to stay here for me. I can take care of myself."

"Why? Are you meeting another friend this afternoon? I can join too. I'd like to know more about the people in your life."

"No," she replied instantly.

What a joke. The last person she'd want him to meet was Nathan.

Calling Nathan a "friend" was laughable. Enemy was more like it.

"Then I'll stay with you and we can rest a bit." They were heading back to Navoris tomorrow. He'd planned to take her out today, but with the bad weather, staying home was best.

"This trip was too rushed anyway," Landon added. "Once your exams are over, I'll bring you back here properly. We'll make it a real vacation."

Where they went didn't matter-as long as she could relax.

Tessa nodded and passed him a piece of pork rib. "Let's eat."

After lunch, they sat in the living room for a while before heading up to her room together.

"Take a nap," Tessa urged gently.

She herself had woken up late, so she wasn't tired.

"Then stay with me," Landon said,/ pulling her hand.

"But I'm not sleepy. I want to read for a bit." She'd already said what needed to be said to Nathan today.

As for what he would do next, she couldn't predict it.

All she could do now was prepare. No matter what Nathan planned, she wouldn't back down.

Chapter 443 Preparing for War

Yes, Yalvaria was his home turf. That did make things more complicated-but not unmanageable.

Just then, Landon's phone rang. It was Nathaniel.

He wouldn't be calling now unless it was important.

Landon answered the call with Tessa right beside him. "What is it?"

"Alpha, we've identified who attacked us-it was Nathan!"

"Nathan..." Landon narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"Surprised, right? We had our suspicions, but for the past few years, Nightshade Pack and Frost Pack have stayed out of each other's way. No one knows why he suddenly snapped this time."

They'd found the perpetrator, but not the reason.

"I see."

"What do you want to do about it?" Nathaniel asked.

This was Yalvaria-Nathan's domain. If he really wanted to make a move, the odds of success were high.

"If he wants to play games," Landon said with a cold smirk, "then we'll play. He sent five puppets. We'll return the favor."

"Yes, Alpha!” Nathaniel instantly understood. "You keep enjoying your time with Tessa. I'll take care of it."

They didn't hold the same power in Yalvaria as Nathan, but they weren't defenseless either.

They had a research base here-not for creating unnatural puppet-hybrids like Nathan, but stocked with advanced tech: mechanical werewolves designed with precision engineering. Resistant to cold, heat, and shock, each unit came equipped with titanium alloy claws that could shred even Nathan's frost armor. Perfect for dealing with him.noveldrama

"If you run into trouble, let me know."

"....Alpha," Nathaniel said dryly, "did you just doubt me?"

"If you can't handle this, then maybe you're not fit to be my beta."

"Hey now!" Nathaniel huffed. "Who are you underestimating here? If I can't take care of something this minor, I've got no business being by your side."

"Just be careful. Nathan's never played clean," Landon warned. "If you're going up against him, you need to be even dirtier-more ruthless. Otherwise, you'll end up the one bleeding."

"I got it, Alpha. Don't worry."
