Fell for the Alpha-less Queen

Just One More Night Together

43 Peade

All afternoon, Ms. Tessa rehearsed with the Avery band. The six of them felt like they had gone back five years-back when they had nothing, but could still enjoy the pure joy of making music together.

It wasn't until the sky had darkened that Ms. Tessa finally stood up and said goodbye. "It's late. I'm heading home."

"Tessa, it's already this late. Why not just stay here tonight? Why go all the way back?" someone asked.

Ms. Tessa shook her head. "No. Landon's still waiting outside."

He understood the bond she had with the band, so he hadn't come into the rehearsal room at all. But she knew him-if she didn't go home tonight, he would wait out there all night without saying a word.

Once the others heard that, they stopped trying to convince her to stay and walked her out instead.

Sure enough, the moment she stepped outside, she saw Landon's car parked nearby. As soon as he saw her, he got out and opened the door for her.

Ms. Tessa sank into the seat and leaned back without saying a word. She really was a little tired.

"Tired?" Landon asked with concern. He knew she was planning a concert and hadn't objected-whatever she wanted to do, he would support it.

"Yeah. It's been a while since I practiced with them. I'm definitely a little exhausted... but I really love this feeling."
