Chapter 370 Shadows of Yalvaria
+ Peade
As soon as they stepped outside the Sinclair estate, Tessa yanked her hand away from Nathan like she'd just-
touched something filthy.
She crossed her arms and glared at him, cold and unflinching.
Nathan didn’t flinch under her glare. If anything, he leaned into it-his lips curved in a twisted smile as he licked
his lips slowly, like he was barely restraining the urge to pin her down and mark her on the spot.
“Tessa,” he said, voice thick with satisfaction, “you’ve been hiding for years. And | finally found you.”
She didn’t answer. Hiding?As if | ever had a reason to run from you.
“Nathan, | don’t care why you're here. I'm not going back with you. So do yourself a favor-go back to wherever
the hell you cfrom.”
Her tone was final. Dismissive. Like she couldn't care less if he stayed or vanished into thin air.
Nathan's smile faded into something colder. “I Heard you've got a boyfriend now.
“That's none of your business.” Her voice was flat and detached.
Nathan's expression darkened in an instant. His face turned cold, and a low, dangerous red burned behind his
eyes-possessive and unrelenting. Looked like Mr. Walter hadn't been lying after all.
“Tessa, you're mine,” Nathan growled. “Have you forgotten that?”
He still clung to the delusion that Tessa was his Luna reborn-his destined mate. And in his mind, that meant no
one else had the right to touch her.
Tessa let out a cold, bitter laugh. “Yours? Since when? Nathan, have | not made myself clear? | belong to no one.
Never have.”
Nathan chuckled, but it was the kind of laugh that didn’t reach his eyes. “No. You belong to me. Only me.”
She'd stopped trying to explain. There was no getting through to him-not when he was locked in fantasy of his
own making.

“Con,” he said suddenly, softening his voice. “We haven't seen each other in years. Let's grab a bite and
catch up.” He said it like they were long-lost lovers. His voice was gentle, but the command beneath it was.
unmistakable.
In Nathan's mind, they were already fated mates. Everything that happened back in Yalvaria had sealed it -she
was his, whether she accepted it or not.
Tessa frowned and took a step back. “I'm not hungry. Go eat alone.” Her voice turned razor-sharp. “And as
someone who used to call you a friend“—she stressed the words “I'll remind you, this is Navoris, not Yalvaria. You
don’t get to throw your weight around here.”
Looking at Nathan now, her thoughts drifted back five years.
Back then, she hadn't awakened her wolf yet. She was left in Falindale with nothing- defenseless, bullied to the
edge of death.

He didn’t ask questions-just looked at her and said, “You want to get stronger? Cwithto Yalvaria. There's
a training camp out there. It's hell. But you'll cout of it different. Even if your wolf never wakes, you'll know
how to survive.”
She said yes without blinking.
And that’s where she met Nathan.
She was a feral cat in a world of wolves-silent, cornered, and all sharp edges.

She'd passed out during a subzero wilderness drill. He stripped off his own gear and wrapped her up, then
carried her over six miles through a blizzard. Her fingers clawed into his shoulders, drawing blood-but he never
let go.
