Chapter 560 A Conversation in Shadows
Thanks to Landon capturing Nathan, Tessa finally enjoyed a rare stretch of peace.
She didn't expect that two weeks later, one afternoon, Reginald would cto see her personally-for the first
time, face to face and in private.
Tessa hadn't seen it coming, but she still went to greet him. The moment she reached the door, The Thorne
family's driver opened the car door for her and remained waiting outside.
"Hello.” Tessa stepped into the car and greeted him politely.
Regardless of his attitude, he was still Landon's father. That alone carned him her respect.
"You're smart enough to know why I'm here," Reginald said bluntly.
"You wantto leave Landon?" Tessa replied calmly.
"Yes," Reginald said without hesitation. "Landon carries the future of Nightshade Pack on his shoulders. He also
guards the Montedra wolf territory. Threats cfrom every direction-seen and unseen. What he needs is a
partner who can fight beside him, not a young girl who distracts him and requires constant protection."
He wanted someone who could support Landon's rise-not someone who would bechis weakness.
"A burden?" Tessa lifted her gaze, voice firm. "I would never be a burden to him. When the tcomes, I'll be his
strongest ally."
She was absolutely confident in that.
No one in this world was more qualified to stand beside Landon than she was.
Reginald chuckled, clearly unconvinced. "You're clever, but you're not right for Landon. And you're certainly not

"Givea chance." Tessa's tone was sincere. "I'll prove I'm the one who belongs at his side."
She didn't owe anyone proof. But because he was Landon's father, she was willing to try.
"Oh?" Reginald raised an eyebrow. "Say someone tries to assassinate Landon what would you do?"
"I'd kill them."
Reginald frowned, tapping his fingertips lightly against his knee. "The wolf clan code is clear: without an actual
attempt, execution is forbidden. That kind of impulsiveness? It's dangerous."
To him, a true alpha's partner needed patience and strategy, not the kind of reckless aggression that shouted for
blood-no matter the motivation.
But Tessa only shook her head slightly, her voice steady and composed. "Mercy toward an enemy is cruelty to
yourself."
She lifted her eyes to meet his directly. The sharpness in her gaze belonged to a wolf's bloodline. "The Code
exists to maintain order within the pack-not to shield those who wish Landon harm. Anyone who covets his life
has already crossed the line. From the moment they even think about killing him, they're no longer just 'potential
threats."

She paused, then added, "I'd act before they do."
That was the real key. Wait until the enemy bared their fangs? Only fools waited that long.
"Is that so?" Reginald narrowed his eyes, studying her closely, trying to read the truth in her words. "But do you
actually have that kind of power?"
Tessa didn't mention her white wolf awakening. She simply said, calmly, "I've saved Landon's life twice. | can
protect him."
As long as she was alive, no one would lay a hand on him.
"Really? And what about your past? You think it's any point of pride for Landon to have a mate like you?"

Did her past matter that much?
"You may think it's irrelevant. But the

"Is that so?" Tessa suddenly replied with fierce confidence. "Then I'll make sure no one dares speak a word about
my past."
Even if those rumors weren't true.
If they dared talk, she'd make them too afraid to open their mouths.
