After changing clothes, Tessa stepped out of her room and found Landon already

in the kitchen with breakfast ready.

hadn't put on his tie yet. He wore only a white button-down shirt, the top few

trained and seductive.

The open collar revealed his chiseled chest-equal parts

Tessa walked up to him, wrapped her arms around his neck, pulled him close, and

kissed him.

Landon melted into the kiss, savoring her initiative. He loved when she took the

lead.

"You really went above and beyond yesterday."

He was a grown man, yet he'd removed her makeup for her.

Tessa was genuinely touched.

Landon slid his hands around her waist and smiled. "Not at all. Helping you

makes me happy.

Thank you, Landon. Really."

He bit her lip gently in mock reprimand.

"I've told you before-I don't want to hear you say 'thank you."

"Alright then. I love you."

Landon froze for a second.

Then his smile deepened.

Those three words-he could hear them a thousand times and never get tired of

them.

He pressed her up against the table and kissed her again, long and deep, before

finally letting go.

His breathing had grown heavier.

Tessa's cheeks were flushed red, her heartbeat racing.

"Alright, breakfast now."

If they kept going, he wasn't sure he'd be able to stop himself, and she clearly

needed rest

After breakfast, Landon reluctantly said goodbye.

He wished he could spend all twenty-four hours of the day with her.

But his role didn't allow for that luxury.

As soon as he left, Tessa didn't stay home to rest either.

She returned to the bedroom, changed outfits again, ptit on sunglasses, and left

the apartment.

At the Coldfang Mercenaries' headquarters....

"Boss, there's a young woman outside requesting to see you."

Xavier, current head of Coldfang Mercenaries-and Avery's father-glanced up at

his subordinate.

"You're all useless. Do you think I'm someone just anyone can walk in and meet?"

"She said she's here to discuss something about your son."

Because it concerned the heir, they had dared report it.

At the mention of Avery, Xavier gave a slight nod.

"A young woman, huh? Fine. Bring her in."

Was she Avery's girlfriend?

If so, Xavier needed to take a good look.

He already had a preferred candidate in mind for his son's wife-someone strong,

capable, a dominant female wolf.

That kind of partner could support Avery once he took over the Coldfang

Mercenaries.

Moments later, his men returned with Tessa in tow.

To show respect, she deliberately suppressed her wolf aura.

"You're Avery's girlfriend?" Xavier asked, frowning.

He was clearly unimpressed.

He couldn't sense even a ripple of wolf energy from her. She looked frail and

delicate. Definitely a low- ranking wolf. No way she could support Avery-more

likely, she'd just burden him.

-"Girlfriend?" Tessa blinked, confused.

When had she ever said she was Avery's girlfriend?

"You're not?" Xavier's tone turned colder. "Then what are you doing here? Do you

think I'm free enough to chat with strangers?",

His schedule was packed. He didn't have time for nonsense.

"You misunderstood. I'm not Avery's girlfriend. I'm his brother."

"You're a woman. And you call yourself my son's brother? Who do you think

you're insulting?"

Xavier's voice thundered as his palm slammed down on the desk in front of him-

splintering the heavy wood into dust.

"I meant no disrespect. You don't need to get angry."

Xavier had become a mercenary at thirteen and later built Coldfang Mercenaries

from the ground up. He'd lived every day dancing on the edge of death.

Even without releasing his aura, his sheer presence was overwhelming.

His subordinates didn't even dare breathe loudly.noveldrama

But Tessa?

She stood there, calm and unbothered.

Not a flicker of fear in her eyes.
