Fell for the Alpha-less Queen

Chapter 597 Bound by Blood

Tessa looked into Landon’s eyes and saw her reflection there. She thought of her grandfather’s dying wish, and of the storms they had weathered together. Slowly, she nodded. “I do.”

Landon gently lifted her hand and slid the silver ring onto her finger.

In wolf tradition, once the bonding ring was worn, it connected the couple’s auras. As their fingertips touched, a faint current seemed to spark between them–that was the resonance of blood recognizing blood.

Darren, watching the scene unfold, turned to Yardley and said, “According to tradition, after the bonding vow, we pay respects at the memorial hall.”

Yardley nodded quickly, his eyes crinkling with a smile he couldn’t contain.

Only Lila sat in the corner, staring at that silver ring like it was blinding. This daughter she had never taken seriously had grown into someone she could never reach.

At the memorial hall, Yardley lit a ceremonial cigarette and handed it to Landon and Tessa.

Together, they stood before Walter’s urn in solemn silence.

In the drifting smoke, Tessa could almost see her grandfather nodding with a gentle smile. Her vision blurred with sudden heat.
