"Mr. Thorne?" Tessa tilted her head and looked at him in confusion, unsure what he meant by that question.

"You keep saying you'll handle your own problems. You never let me help. Have you never thought of me as someone you could rely on?" Landon finally voiced the question that had been weighing on his heart for a long time.

Tessa froze for a second. She seemed to catch a flash of defeat in his eyes, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

As the Alpha of the Nightshade Pack, Montedra's most powerful ruler, he was always decisive and sharp, whether dealing with pack matters or facing enemies. Nothing ever fazed him.

As the head of Thorne Corp, he was just as capable in the business world, always composed and in control.

But in front of Tessa, he lost that control.

“I...” Tessa started to say something, but didn't know how to explain what she was feeling.
