"Don't you think you're being a little too cruel to our alpha?" Nathaniel finally

voiced the thought, as Landon's beta and closest friend, it was his duty to raise

the obvious.

Tessa turned to Landon. "Can you wait for me?"

Landon met her gaze directly, without hesitation.

"My life is yours. No matter how long you study, I'll wait."

"Alpha, we're talking eleven years here! Will you even still be able to have kids by

then?" Nathaniel asked, a bit too bluntly.

Landon shot him a look.

Nathaniel shrank back immediately.

"Nathaniel! That's just rude! Are you questioning my uncle's abilities?" Ysabel

jumped in at once. "He's awakened the Obsidian Crystal Wolf, remember? Elevennoveldrama

years? He could wait thirty-one!"

Nathaniel raised his hands in surrender.

Fine. He was starting to pity the alpha now.

Cameron laughed. "Landon, you were the first among us to find your destined

mate, but it looks like you'll be the last one to actually get married."

Hudson nodded in agreement. "Still, if it's someone you truly love, the wait is

always worth it."

After the meal, on the drive back to the Wisteria Apartment, Landon couldn't help

but ask, "Do we really have to wait eleven years to become mates?"

Nathaniel wasn't wrong. He wasn't exactly young anymore. Eleven years from

now, Tessa would be twenty-nine-but he'd already be forty.

Would she still want a man that old?

Tessa gently cupped his face.

"What are you thinking? Relax. With my abilities, do you really think I need eleven

years to become licensed?"

Landon chuckled.

Right. How could he forget? His girl was a genius.

She'd already performed high-level/surgery without formal training-she'd even

removed a silver bullet from him once.

As time passed, news about the Moonstone finally came in. Tessa's people were

working on retrieving it.

Meanwhile, the upcoming concert was rapidly approaching, demanding more and

more of her rehearsal time, Ysabel's new songs were also in final development.

Chapter 507 Eleven Years and an Unraveling Band

Xylia Yale—the veteran music director Tessa had poached with a six-figure

salary—was now standing in her

oflice.

"Tessa, with Ysabel's current popularity, an EP would be more effective than a full

album. Launch with three title tracks to dominate the charts, then drop the full

album in three months. Classic low-cost breakout strategy."

With fifteen years of

experience in the music industry, Xylia's advice was always razor-sharp.

Tessa nodded. "Go ahead with your plan."

Just then, Ysabel walked in. Seeing both of them, she didn't hold back.

"Tessa, something happened!"

"What is it?" Tessa didn't understand—wasn't everything running smoothly?

"What do you mean something happened?"

"Look!"

Ysabel thrust her phone at her.

As Avery Band's number one fan, Ysabel often scrolled through their fan forums

whenever she had a

moment.

She never expected to stumble upon a viral post claiming that Avery Band was

disbanding.

The post had already hit a hundred thousand shares, and crowds of fans were

now gathered outside TS Entertainment.

After what happened at SkyEcho Entertainment, fans assumed Avery Band was

being mistreated again— this time by TS Entertainment—and that's why the group

wanted to disband.

Now, they were demanding an explanation from the company.

"Tessa, is Avery Band really disbanding?"

The post was well-written, with detailed insider information—it sounded completely

credible.

"Ysabel, don't worry about this. Focus on your own work," Tessa said, her tone

calm but firm. This wasn't something Ysabel could—or should—get involved in.

"Tessa, just give me one honest answer." Avery Band had always been her belief,

hert. She had never even considered the possibility that they might break up.

"Ysabel, even if you ask, it won't change anything," Xylia interrupted. "As for

whether Avery Band is disbanding or not... we really don't know yet. We're doing

everything we can, but no one has the answer right now."

Ysabel's pupils flickered with despair.

Her entire belief system felt like it was shattering.

Xylia hadn't denied it..

Which meant the rumors... might actually be true.
