NovelOnlineChapter 429 Beneath the Frost 48 Pearle Freezing rain fell over Frost Harbor in Astrovia, cach drop crystallizing the instant it hit the tarmac. Web- like frost patterns clung to the glass walls of the distant skyscrapers-clear signs of the Frost Pack's barrier.
The moment they stepped off the plane, Landon took off his coat and wrapped it around Tessa.
Just then, the cabin steward arrived with umbrellas. Landon took only one, opened it, and held it up over the both of them as he pulled Tessa close and walked her out.
Nathaniel accepted another umbrella silently.
Alpha had to be doing this on purpose.
There were obviously enough umbrellas to go around, so why share one? Did he want to get rained on? What was going through his mind? Were people in love always like this? Always glued to each other, no matter where or when? Whatever. Not his business. Nathaniel opened his umbrella and followed behind them-at a distance.
He was absolutely done being third-wheeled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOutside the airport, their car was already waiting. Landon escorted Tessa to it, a staff member opened the door, and once she was inside, he finally closed the umbrella and got in as well.
Nathaniel climbed in after them.
"Alpha, are we heading to the hotel first?" "No. Since Tessa calong this time, I had the Astrovia villa cleaned and prepped. We'll stay there." No matter how luxurious a hotel was, it couldn't beat the comfort of your own place.
"Alright then." In the past, even if they stayed for a whole week, they would just stay at a hotel.
This tit was just a two-day trip, and Alpha had already ordered the villa to be prepared in advance. Yeah... the difference really was night and day.
People really weren't equal.
"Landon, you didn't need to go through all this just for me—” "Don't worry. It's not all because of you. I just don't like staying in hotels." Landon didn't want her feeling pressured.
"Okay, fair enough." Since it was already done, saying anything now wouldn't change much. Better to just let it be.
1/3 Chapter 429 Beneath the Frost The cars headed straight to Landon's villa in Astrovia, When they arrived, a line of servants stood on either side of the entrance, flanked by dozens of werewolf guards.
The silver wolf emblem on the guards' shoulder patches gleamed faintly-the symbol of the Nightshade Pack's elite warriors.
Even so, Tessa didn't feel at ease.
She knew Nathan wouldn't just sit back and watch Landon show up on his turf.
And this was Yalvaria-Nathan's territory. If he wanted to kill someone, it wouldn't be hard. A few dozen bodyguards wouldn't mean much.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her dazed, Landon cup and wrapped his arm around her waist.
Hearing his voice, Tessa shook her head.
"Nothing. Just tired, I think. Long flight." "Alright. Let's go in, get you cleaned up and fed, then you can sleep for a bit." The moment she mentioned being tired, he felt a wave of guilt.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter introducing her to the villa's head butler, Landon took her upstairs.
He brought her to the master bedroom.
"Go take a shower. I had clothes set out for you already. After you're done, we'll eat. Then you can rest at hfor a while. I'll cback in the evening and take you out, alright?" He hated leaving her alone, even for work.
"I'll just take a quick shower. You guys still have to go to the office, right?!'Inc with you. I want to see how things are done." She couldn't relax unless she was with him.
Landon gently pinched her cheek.
"What's going on? You've been acting of is strange this whole trip of something's wrong, you can tell me." "Nothing's wrong. Don't overthink it." "...Okay. Then go shower. I'm going to find Nathaniel-we've got sthings to discuss." After all, this was a work trip. He really did have a lot to handle.
"Alright." As soon as Landon left, Tessa pulled out her phone and logged into a hidden account.
Then she started reaching our to a few contacts she had in Yalvaria....
