Fell for the Alpha-less Queen

Love the Wolfless Power Girl at First Sight

Chapter 528 Teeth Bared

"It really is impressive."

That was all Tessa could say as she nodded in agreement.

Though to be fair, Samuel was indeed an incredible healer.

Mr. Oscar launched into another long string of passionate reasoning and grand ideals.

But when he realized Tessa wasn't particularly moved by any of it, he finally let it go.

"Mr. Oscar, since you don't have any objections, I'll go finish the check-in process. I'll send you my course schedule once I'm back."

"Alright, I'll walk you out!"

Mr. Oscar shed any trace of seniority and still wore a proud smile on his face.

Tessa politely declined the escort. She didn't want other students thinking she was getting special treatment. Instead, she left with Landon by her side.

Once they were in the car, Tessa tried to slip her hand out of Landon's-but he held on tight.

She looked at him, puzzled.

Suddenly, Landon said, "Why don't I go to school with you?"

He wanted to walk with her through campus, to share that kind of youthful experience-something he'd never really had. And now, with her, he wanted it more than ever.

Tessa hadn't noticed, but walking through the university earlier, nearly every male student they passed had turned to stare at her.

She was dazzling.

Landon wished he could wrap her up in his arms right then and there, shield her from every prying eye. But he knew that wasn't realistic...

To Tessa, it just seemed like he didn't want to be apart from her. She gently squeezed his large hand and comforted him. "What are you thinking? Don't worry. I'll finish everything I need to learn as quickly as possible."

"There's no need to rush. I don't want to see you wearing yourself out," he said, even though he couldn't wait to introduce her to his elders and officially confirm their mate bond in the Nightshade Pack.

Still, he didn't want to see her burn herself out for it.

Learning should be a step-by-step process.

"I know."

But she really did learn faster than most. That wasn't something she could help. After dropping Tessa off at Wisteria Apartments, Landon headed to Thorne Corp. Chapter 528 Teeth Bared

Not long after she got home, Tessa's phone rang. It was Ash.

Tessa, where are you right now? Avery's in trouble!"

Tessa frowned.

"What happened? Calm down and explain."noveldrama

"Someone came to the Wolfborn Corps and started a fight. We're all at the base right now!"

"Got it. Tell Avery to hold his ground-I'm on my way."

She'd known Xavier handing the reins of the Corps to Avery wouldn't go smoothly.

The werewolf mercenary corps were Montedra's underground military backbone. Any sign of instability in one of the major corps would attract enemies like sharks to blood.

News of Xavier triggering the blood pact succession ritual had spread across the werewolf black market's communication web like wildfire.

Other corps had surely already picked up on the scent of power vacuum- especially since Avery's wolf-core branding ritual hadn't been completed yet. It was the perfect window for a takeover.

Ash stood nervously, facing a crowd of bloodthirsty, savage-looking werewolves. These were not the kinds of people he was used to dealing with-he was just a music guy, after all.

But no matter how scared he felt, as long as his captain was there, he wasn't going to run. He was ready to stand with him, come what may.

The ones causing trouble were from the Ironfang Mercenary Corps, a well-known werewolf faction in Navoris.

Their leader, Tigre, sneered arrogantly at Avery.

"Avery, I told you before-you're not cut out to run a mercenary corps. We're here today to take over the Wolfborn Corps."

Avery didn't back down. His laugh was cold and sharp. "Oh really? If you want to take our Corps, you better prove you've got what it takes."

Even if he didn't want to inherit the Wolfborn Corps, he sure as hell wasn't going to let anyone barge into his turf and make a mockery of him.

“Hah! You arrogant little brat. I guess you won't learn until you've been beaten to the ground. Fine. Today I'll show you what a real mercenary looks like!"

He raised his voice and roared, "Brothers! Move in! After today, there will be no Wolfborn Corps left in Montedra!"

At his signal, Ironfang's soldiers ripped open their collars, exposing the glowing red wolf-brand on the backs of their necks.

As defiant howls echoed through the air, their bodies surged and shifted into towering, muscular wolf forms. Gleaming fangs bared, they locked eyes on their enemies-ready to pounce, ready to tear them

apart.
