Walter pretended not to hear her and turned to the butler, changing the subject. "Louis, Landie's a good kid, don't you think?"

The butler nodded wordlessly.

It wasn't surprising that Walter didn't want to stay in the hospital for too long.

Tessa knew that. Her wolf, Emma, was howling within her, vowing to protect what they had inherited.

So this was why he'd left the hospital early?

"Mm." Walter didn't say anything more.
