Fell for the Alpha-less Queen

Chapter 446 The Lines We Cross

The moment Nathan heard his father's words, he shot up from the hospital bed, eyes cold as ice. "I've already told you-don't lay a finger on her."

It didn't matter who it was. Anyone who tried to harm Tessa... was his enemy. Even if that person was his own father.

Jeremy's expression twisted in fury. "That depends on whether you start listening or not," he snapped. "Don't forget-my patience isn't endless."

Seeing that Nathan's injuries weren't life-threatening, Jeremy didn't linger. He had no desire to waste another second on this love-obsessed, rebellious son.

For Tessa, Nathan would do anything-no matter how reckless. It was only a matter of time before this woman drove him to ruin.

After Jeremy left, the tension in the room thickened. Nathan's wolf aura was suffocating.

Grant, standing by, swallowed hard before speaking up cautiously. "Alpha... maybe we should just let this go. We sent puppets after Landon. He retaliated with mechanical wolves. Fair's fair, right? If you push it any

And Landon... Landon was terrifying.

This last attack was a warning. If Nathan provoked him again, who knew what would follow?

Nathan's glare pinned him in place. "What are you saying? You think I'm not a match for Landon? He dared take what's mine-he will pay for it."

Grant fell silent immediately.

Ever since Tessa faked her death and escaped, Nathan had never been the same. His rationality was breaking down. Every move he made became more impulsive than the last. If this went on... it was only a matter of time before it all blew up.

While Landon was away on business, the weather in Astrovia had been abysmal- nonstop rain for days.

That morning, Peter came by the villa looking for Nathaniel. As he stepped into the living room, he ran into Tessa just waking up and coming down the stairs.

She gave him a polite nod of greeting.

Peter remembered her, but they'd never spoken much. He returned the nod silently.

The moment Landon saw her, he lifted a hand and waved her over.

Tessa obediently made her way to him and sat down by his side. He immediately wrapped his arm around her waist.

“Nathaniel, take Peter to the study," Landon said calmly.

Nathaniel got up right away. "Understood. We won't bother you two."

"Let's go," he said to Peter, already heading upstairs.

Peter had come with a list of questions for Nathaniel, but Nathaniel also needed to inspect the airport perimeter later.

They'd just given Nathan a warning last night. Who knew what that lunatic might try next?

With their return to Navoris scheduled for today, Nathan's most likely move... would be at the airport.

Back downstairs on the sofa, Landon nuzzled Tessa's check affectionately. "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

They were flying out today. No matter what Nathan or anyone else tried, he wouldn't let anything disturb her before her exams.

"The rain was too loud. I couldn't fall asleep." The downpour had gone on all night. Having such sharp hearing had its drawbacks-like this.

"Mm. We'll be back in Navoris today."

Across the room, Peter watched the two interact, admiration glowing in his eyes.

Mr. Landon really treated that girl like a treasure.

Just then, Nathaniel turned and realized Peter hadn't followed him. He doubled back and barked, "What are you staring at? You came to ask me something, didn't you? Let's go."

Peter snapped out of it and looked away.

"Ms. Tessa is really lucky," he said quietly. "I really envy her."

"She is lucky," Nathaniel agreed. "Alpha's crazy about her. So here's a bit of advice-stay away from her. If you value your peace, don't even think about crossing her."

Tessa wasn't just Landon's mate.

She was his weakness, his soft spot, his everything. Anyone who touched her would live to regret it. If they lived at all.
