Landon wasn't just the alpha of the Nightshade Pack ; he was the most powerful alpha on the Montedra continent . For anyone to have injured him so severely . What kind of force are we dealing with ?

" A 17 - year - old unawakened female werewolf who can fight mercenaries and perform advanced surgery ? Interesting . " " Should we return to Navoris ? " Nathaniel asked tentatively . They had barely set foot in Falindale , and this attack seemed like a calculated move to prevent them from being here . " There's still work to do here . Why would we leave ? " Landon replied coolly . " If you're scared , feel free to go back on your own Nathaniel's jaw tightened . He wasn't scared - he was just concerned for his alpha's safety . " Let's go meet this girl , " Landon ordered , his eyes lingering on Tessa's photograph . Nathaniel found Tessa later that day , surrounded by a group of thuggish werewolves . " You must be Tessa , " he called out . Dressed in her Falindale High uniform with her sleeves rolled up to reveal her pale wrists , Tessa ignored him and kept walking " Boss , she's ignoring you ! " one of the thugs exclaimed indignantly . No one at Falindale High dared to disrespect their leader . The gang leader , visibly irritated , stepped in front of her . " I'm talking to you ! Are you deaf ? " he barked , reaching for her arm . Tessa finally stopped , spat out her gum , and said coldly Move . " Her tone was icy , cutting like a blade . - " Feisty , huh ?

" Behind her , whispers erupted . Everyone knew Tessa's story . She had licen abandoned by her pack , the Frostmoon Pack in Navoris . Tessa was the Frostmoon alpha's daughter , but she had been born weak and wolf - less . A witch's prophecy had declared she would never awaken her wolf , branding her a disgrace . The Sinclair family despised her . Rumors painted her as lazy and dishonorable , claiming she associated with Rogues and had even miscarried a Rogue's child a twelve . Embarrassed by her existence , the Sinclairs had exiled her to Falindale to fend for herself Unbothered by the murmurs . Tessa walked on . Not long after , a sleek black car pulled up beside her . The door opened , and a tall , handsome male werewolf stepped out . " Ms. Sinclair , " he said politely . " I'm Nathaniel . My alpha would like to have a word with you ." He opened the back door , and Tessa saw the refined man seated inside - Landon . Despite knowing he was the alpha of the Nightshade Pack , Tessa showed no hint of the usual reverence werewolves displayed toward alphas . Instead , she climbed into the car and sat beside him . " You lost that much blood and still survived ? Impressive , " she remarked casually , her striking blue eyes void of emotion . This girl has some nerve , Nathaniel , seated in the front , felt his lips twitch . No one in Montedra talks to the alpha like this . " I'm Landon . Thank you for saving me yesterday ," Landon said , handing her a business card . As he did , he silently reached out to Flex through Mind Link . Fler , is she our destined mate ?
