NovelEnglishChapter 867 The Christmas Before the Storm While Lucas was preparing to head to Navoris, Avery Band returned to the country.
Tessa brought Ysabel along to meet him at the airport and invited him out to dinner. She even wrote powerful, evocative lyrics for his new song.
Of course, she hadn't forgotten Landon's Christmas gift.
After dinner with Avery Band, Tessa handed Landon a beautifully wrapped gift box.
When he lifted the lid, inside was a handcrafted celestial scroll of the Wolf Clans- drawn in moonstone powder outlining the starry skies over Nightshade Pack territory. Every star was marked with coordinates of battlefields where he had once fought, and the edges of the scroll were embroidered with the totem of the Shadow Wolves. "Merry Christmas in advance," she said softly, her ears turning red.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was her first tmaking a gift by hand.
Landon's pupils quivered slightly as his fingers traced the embroidery still warm from her touch. This was the Moon Deity constellation map, meticulously drawn after she'd stayed up late poring through ancient werewolf texts. Every thread carried a trace of her scent.
His throat tightened. Suddenly, he pulled her into his arms, surrounding her with his pinewood pheromones like a tidal wave.
"Idiot," he murmured, voice hoarse, kissing her lips again and again. "I already told you-you're the most precious gift." He held her tighter, heart full of warmth and aching tenderness. "Don't overwork yourself like this next time." "You've been so good to me. I wanted to give something back." "Silly girl... I'm not good to you because I expect something in return." "I know. But I still want to show you how I feel..." Before she could finish, his lips were already on hers, turning all her words into a slow, lingering kiss...
If Tessa didn't have to head back to the Sinclair home, Landon wouldn't have let her go at all.
Still catching his breath, he looked at the girl melting in his arms. "Your birthday's right after New Year's.. Lethost your coming-of-age ceremony." "Okay." Tessa nodded.
On her eighteenth birthday, her wolf would be able to recognize her fated mate.
And she wanted Landon to be the first face she saw that day just to see if he truly was the one.
With their promise made, Landon finally drove her home, fully content.
But the moment she walked into the Sinclair house, Samuel's call cthrough.
1/2 Chapter 367 The Christmas Before the Storm "Tessa, you need to prepare yourself," "What? You can't just start a sentence like that. I have no idea what you mean "Nathan. Nathan's gone missing-did you know that?" "No." Tessa was playing with Landon's gift-a scarf woven from his shed wolf fur, with strands of her own hair threaded into the yarn. The twin-bond totem shimmered faintly at each end.
"I told you already. That man has nothing to do with me." Samuel was practically losing it. "Tessa, do you really think it has nothing to do with you? According to intel from the werewolf black market, he cback to find you. Which means he's most likely in Navoris right now! I don't care what you say-just stay hfor Christmas. Don't go wandering off!" If Nathan really caught her, her peaceful days would be over.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSamuel couldn't help cursing. "Fuck. That guy is insane. After all this time, and he still won't let you go?" Nathan's a psycho-and he was just realizing that now? "Forget it. It's none of your business."
So what if he shows up? This is Navoris, Landon's territory not m Yalvaria What can he really do to me?
Tessa lovingly wrapped herself in Landon's scarf again, the seent of pinewood wrapping around her like pinewood wrapping E.T an invisible embrace. She didn't give Nathan another thought.
But what she didn't expect was to see him so soon- At that very moment, Nathan stood at the gates of the Sinclair estate, a twisted grin on his face as he took in the villa steeped in Tessa's scent.
So this was her home, huh?
Even from this distance, he could feel the resonance of their blood bond as if it were calling to him. She was inside.
Nathan's eyes glowed crimson.
This time-no matter the cost-he was taking her back.
