Fell for the Alpha-less Queen

Chapter 447 The Warning

Of course not. Why would I ever provoke Ms. Tessa? I respect her too much for that, Peter said quickly trying to hide her cimbarrassment.

Nathaniel gave her a pointed look. "You're smart, Peter. Focus on your career. Tessa is Alpha's fated mate There will only ever be one woman by his side, and that's her."

He wasn't stupid. He saw how Peter looked at Landon-with admiration, awe, maybe even obsession. But really, who could blame her? Landon was the Alpha King of Montedra, young, powerful, devastatingly handsome, and the CEO of Thorne Corp. Money, power, looks-he had everything.

Peter laughed awkwardly. "I didn't mean anything by it. I just admire how close they are."

Nathaniel didn't confirm or deny. "Just remember this: if you want to stay around Alpha, your only option is to do your job and do it well. That's the only thing you'll ever get from him."

"I wasn't trying to-" she began.

"No need to explain, and no need to deny. I'm only telling you this to save you from disappointment," he said flatly.

"I understand. Let's head to the study," Peter replied, keeping her head down.

"Good."

Nathaniel led her upstairs. As their footsteps disappeared down the hallway, the villa returned to a quiet calm. Tessa, now curled up against Landon's shoulder, had started to doze off. Seeing her like this almost made Landon laugh. It was the first time he'd seen her look so adorably sleepy. She looked soft, harmless, a little disoriented-and entirely lovable. He wanted to pull her into his arms and just hold

her.

But just then, her phone rang.noveldrama

Tessa frowned, clearly irritated. Who the hell was calling her now?

Seeing her face, Landon reached over to turn it off, but she took it first.

"It's fine," she mumbled, keeping her eyes closed as she answered. "Who is it?” "Tessa, do you still remember me?"

The voice on the other end made her pause. She sifted through her memory until it clicked. Jeremy- Nathan's father.

"If Nathan got hurt last night, that was your doing, wasn't it?" he said coldly.

"Oh? So he got hurt?" Tessa replied dryly. "Must've been his own fault. A guy like him probably has more than a few people out for his blood. What's that got to do with me?"

She had no patience for Jeremy-this man who had tried more than once to kill her. She didn't even bother to pretend to be polite.

"Then why the hell did you come to Yalvaria? I warned you, didn't I? I told you not to go near Nathan again. Why didn't you listen? Do you really want me to use force to make you obey?"

Tessa let out a cold laugh. "Why can't I come to Yalvaria? What, does your Frost Pack own the entire region?"

Her voice sharpened. "Let me warn you too, Jeremy. Stay away from me. I can't promise I'll stay nice he ume we meet

So what, you planning to kill me now?" Jeremy sneered. "Let's see if you've got what it takes

"Sure. Let's test it. Let's see who the real loser is."

Tessa didn't wait for a reply. She hung up without hesitation.

On the other end of the line, Jeremy stared at his now-disconnected phone, then crushed it in his hand.

"She's getting out of control."

He'd always known Tessa was a wild wolf-unruly, dangerous, impossible to tame. But now she was bolder than ever. And worst of all, she had his son wrapped around her finger, driving him to irrational extremes.

"I can't tolerate this anymore," he growled.

"Don't be angry, sir," one of his subordinates said calmly. "This is Yalvaria. Making

a girl like her disappear won't be hard. We've got our ways."

Jeremy's eyes narrowed. "Good. Handle it. Don't let her leave Yalvaria alive."

"Yes, sir."
