"Uncle Landon, I can't go home tonight. I'm at the hospital. If Grandpa asks, just tell him I'm with you, okay?"

The hospital again...

Landon was in the middle of handling pack affairs when he received Ysabel's call. Without hesitation, he dropped everything and drove straight to the hospital.

When he saw Ysabel's swollen face, his expression turned ominous.

"What happened?" Who had the audacity to lay a hand on the member of the Thorne family?

Ysabel gave him a quick summary of the situation.

"Uncle Landon, you have no idea how incredible Tessa was," she gushed, still caught up in admiration.

Landon's face darkened further.

Ysabel's hospital admission.

The corridor was nearly empty, leaving only the two of them. Without hesitation, Landon strode forward, blocking Tessa's path. He raised an arm, caging her between his chest and the wall.

She had already caught the familiar scent of pinewood clinging to him. Strangely, she didn't resist. Instead, she allowed him to trap her in place.

Lifting her gaze, she met his smoldering, anger-laced stare.

"Why didn't you call me?" His voice was low, edged with restrained frustration.
