3/3 10.34 Chapter 4 Unbroken Bonds : The Alpha and the Outcast Chapter 4 Unbroken Bonds : The Alpha and the Outcast The moment Tessa stepped into the car , Flex sprang to life . +5 Free Coins As soon as Landon posed his question , Flex responded eagerly . I can't sense her wolf , so I can't confirm if she's my mate . But I like her ! Funny , I do too , Landon replied . Though he couldn't be certain if Tessa was his destined mate , he and Flex both felt drawn to her . Beyond that , Landon was certain she was hiding a lot of secrets . An unawakened teenage girl shouldn't have been able to handle trained werewolf mercenaries - let alone fifteen of them so effortlessly . What's more , regular werewolves couldn't withstand the oppressive force of his Alpha's Presence , but Tessa wasn't affected at all . Instead , she had the audacity to tease him with ease . And that wasn't even mentioning her surgical skills and ability to detoxify him …. Everything about her only deepened Landon's curiosity His conversation with Flex lasted just moments , but in that time , Landon noticed how Tessa took the business card he offered , barely glanced at it , and shovel it directly into her bag- " Did you study medicine ? " Nathaniel finally asked the question on his mind . A 17 - year - old girl who could remove a bullet wasn't exactly ordinary . Tessa shook her head . " No. My neighbor's a vet . I've helped him a few times ." It wasn't exactly a lie . Her neighbor did operate on wolves , and after watching him a few times , she had picked up the basics . Werewolves and wolves weren't so different . Nathaniel glanced at Landon , his expression hard to read . Did you hear that , Alpha ? She treated you like a wild animal " A vet who can remove bullets ? " Nathaniel asked incredulously . " I've never done it before ," Tessa replied nonchalantly . " He just looked like he was about to die , so I gave it a shot . " Drop me off at the next intersection , Tessa said to the river . The driver glanced at Landon , who gave a slight nod of approval . When they reached the intersection , the car stopped , and Tessa got out " Ms. Sinclair , are you sure you don't need any help ? " Nathaniel asked , recalling how she might have angered the wrong people . 1/3 10:02 med , Api To Chapter 4 Unbroken Bonds : The Alpha and the Outcast " No need , " she said with a wave before hailing a taxi and driving off . " She's so cool . " Nathaniel muttered , watching her disappear . He hadn't met a female werewolf like her before - and she was stunning to boot . " Alpha , do you think she's telling the truth ? " " What do you think ? " Landon didn't bother sparing Nathaniel a glance , his eyes still fixed in the direction Tessa had gone , a faint smile on his lips . " She's interesting " Nathaniel was stunned . Did the Alpha just say she's interesting ? " Alpha , you're not … into her , are you ? I mean , I'll admitshe's beautiful - way more striking than the women in Navoris - but isn't she a bit too young ? " Landon shot him a sharp look , silencing him immediately . " Shallow . " Nathaniel - shut his mouth . Sure , he was shallow . What man wasn't ? The next morning , Tessa barely made it to class when her classmates informed her the principal had already come looking for her three times . Tessie , what did you do this time ? " Tessa had a bit of a reputation . Everyone knew her as a troublemaker , always fighting or getting into scrapes . Though , since transferring to their school , she hadn't been in a single fight . Sure , she slept through every class , but this was Falindale High - the worst school in the area . Half the students slept through class , and the teachers didn't care . " Nothing . I'll go check it out ." She tossed her bag onto her desk and headed for the principal's office . " Tessa , what's wrong with you ? " Mr. Zavala , the principal , was fuming . " Your reputation is already terrible , and I've tried to look past that . But why did you have to start a fight ? Do you even know who you hit ? That was Mr. Caldwell's son - the chief of police ! And you put him in the hospital ! What are you going to do now ? " He glared at her , clearly regretting ever accepting her into the school . " I've already called your mother . With the trouble you've caused , our school can't keep you anymore . Find another school that will take you - if there's one . " Tessa stayed silent throughout his tirade . Within twenty minutes , Lila Quinn , her mother , arrived at the school . " Mr. Zavala , what happened ? Did Tessa get into trouble again ? " Lila asked , not even bothering to get Tessa's side of the story . " Your daughter is beyond our ability to handle ," Mr. Zavala snapped . " You need to take her home immediately . And do you realize who she's offended ? Mr. Caldwell ! This is a serious matter . I shouldn't have admitted her in the first place . " 2/3 TICU , AU Chapter 4 Unbroken Bonds : The Alpha and the Outcast +5 Free Coins Lila pleaded , " Mr. Zavala , please give her another chance . If even Falindale High won't take her , no other school will . " " Mrs. Sinclair , I can't help you . Your priority should be dealing with Mr. Caldwell . Now , please leave . " Defeated , Lila turned and walked out of the office . Seeing Tessa waiting outside , Lila's face twisted in anger . She raised her hand , ready to slap her . But Tessa caught her wrist mid - air , her icy gaze locking onto Lila . " Mrs. Sinclair , what are you doing ? What does my life live to do with you - or the Sinclair family ? You all abandoned me , didn't you ? Whether I live or die has nothing to do with you . "
