Chapter 51 A Clean Kill
Tessa sat down, and Landon pulled out the chair beside her before taking a scat.
“Sorry to keep everyone waiting.”
“It’s fine. The wait wasn’t too long. It’s just an hour.” Nathaniel couldn’t help but speculate whether something
inappropriate had happened in that room:

“Tessie, Uncle Landon didn’t do anything to you, did her” Ysabel immediately slid over to sit beside Tessa,
whispering in her ear.
Her voice wasn’t particularly quiet, and everyone in the private room heard her.
“Ysabel, what nonsense are you spouting?”
Landon shot her a look, and Ysabel immediately shut her mouth.
“Tessie! You're too attractive. | was just worried about you.”
“Letintroduce everyone.” Ysabel stood up, gesturing toward the others. “This is my good friend, Tessa.”
“Tessie, the one sitting across from you is Cameron Quest, the third son of the Quest family. Beside him is
Hudson Jones, heir to the Jones family. And over there is Nathaniel, you've met him a few times already.”
The people gathered here belonged to the four most prominent families of the Nightshade Pack, the most
influential bloodlines in Montedra.
Any one of them alone was enough to shake the foundations of Montedra’s werewolf society.
Landon needed no introduction. He was Montedra’s most powerful alpha and the founder of Thorne Corp, the
largest werewolf conglomerate in the region.
Nathaniel, as Landon’s beta, was naturally formidable. Not only was he Landon’s most trusted right-hand man,
but also a masterful diplomat.
Cameron, Thorne Corp’s head of IT, safeguarded the company’s cybersecurity. Other than Phantom from
Lightwing Order, no one could rival him.
Hudson was the undisputed leader in the werewolf legal world. If he wanted to, he could put a judge behind bars.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe four had been close friends since childhood, and among them, Landon was the unquestioned leader.
“I'm Tessa Sinclair.” Despite sitting among the most powerful families, Tessa remained indifferent, her tone cool
and detached.
Hudson and Cameron raised their eyebrows.
She was intriguing. Despite being a wolf-less minor, she displayed no hesitation or fear, entirely unfazed by their
imposing presence.
Before long, the waiter arrived with the food..

“What's wrong? You don’t like the food?” Landon had been engaged in conversation with the others, but his
attention had never left her.
“No, I'm just not hungry.”
“Eat a little more.” Landon personally placed more food on her plate. “Finish what's on your plate.”
She was too thin. Just the sight of her stirred a deep ache in his chest.
Watching Landon dote on Tessa so openly, Ysabel grew increasingly anxious, to the point where she lost her own
appetite.
“What's wrong? Weren't you just saying you were starving?” Nathaniel asked, glancing at her.
Ysabel had no tto worry about her own hunger. All she wanted was to get Tessa away from Landon as soon
as possible. Putting down her utensils, she asked, “Tessie, are you full? Let's go for a walk.”
“Okay.”
“Uncle Landon, I'm taking Tessie out for a bit,” Ysabel announced before pulling Tessa away without waiting for a
response.
“What's with her?” Landon asked Nathaniel.
“She's afraid you'll steal Tessa away,” Nathaniel teased, though he couldn't deny a flicker of jealousy.
Ysabel was genuinely fond of Tessa.
Landon didn’t pursue the topic any further.

“What about him?”
“His law firm is under investigation. You guys didn’t know? | thought one of you was behind it.”
