If he couldn't keep his emotions under control... he would eventually lose himself completely. At that point, he'd becnothing more than a beast-no hope of ever returning.
And when that day came, he'd be put down like one.
From upstairs, a long, weary sigh drifted down. Tessa turned and headed for her grandfather's room.
"He's gone?" Walter asked.

All he could see was Sinclair Corp's resources... maybe losing everything will force him to reflect." Tessa gently smoothed a trembling hand over her grandfather's shoulder. She knew-swounds could be healed with the finest medicine. But others... only tcould mend.
"Grandpa, if you don't want to stay here anymore, I have a villa in New York. Why don't you move there?" If being here only brought him pain, then it was tfor a change of scenery.
"No need, Tessa. I'm too old to be moving around. Just cvisitoften. That's enough for me." "Grandpa, I'll always stay by your side." Walter took her hand firmly in his own.
"Tessa, you don't need to do anything special for me. I know you're destined for great things. The International Werewolf Medical Organization has been after you for years. You should go. Do what you want with your life. Don't let anyone else dictate that-not even me. And don't trouble yourself too much with Sinclair Corp." Everything followed its own course.

"You alright?" he asked, eyes scanning her from head to toe.
Seeing nothing wrong, he finally relaxed.
Tessa shook her head. "I'm fine. Have you been waiting here the whole time?" She'd told him to go. Why had he stayed? "I couldn't relax," he said simply. "I didn't want to leave you." "What's there to worry about?" she muttered. "Didn't I say I could handle it?" Landon took the wheel with one hand and held hers with the other.
"I know you can. But I still didn't want you to face it alone. Even if I'm just sitting nearby... I still wanted to stay." Tessa was deeply moved. Words wouldn't come.

Landon lit up. The moment he felt her lips against his, he stopped the car and pulled her alose, deepening the kiss with his hand gently cradling the back of her head. It was a kiss full of heat and tenderness.
Later, he drove her back to Wisteria Apartment.
"You've had a long day. Get srest. Once you've had a nap, we'll eat." He could see the exhaustion in her face.
"Let's sleep together," Tessa said quietly.
"...What?" Landon blinked, eyes going wide. His pupils sharpened glowing faintly with excitement. 66 "..." Her cheeks flushed a deep red. Did she just say that out loud? "That's not what I meant! I just meant-you should rest too!" But Landon wasn't about to let her take it back.
