Love the Wolfless Power Girl at First Sight

Chapter 366 Uninvited Shadows

+8 Pearls

At dinner, everyone except Tessa and Grandpa sat stiffly, clearly affected by the oppressive alpha king aura Landon gave off. Even the clinking of cutlery against porcelain came with an edge of nervous caution:

More than once, Cedric tried to signal Tessa using the subtle eye tremors unique to the Frostmoon Pack hoping she’d help him get a word in with Landon,

But Tessa either focused on cutting her steak or refilled Grandpa’s glass, never once acknowledging him. Eventually, Cedric seized a lull in the conversation.

“Alpha Landon, I was wondering if you had any interest in the newly discovered Stellar Mines vein-”

“Not interested.” Landon’s pinewood pheromones suddenly turned sharp. “And Frostmoon Pack’s alpha can’t even manage basic negotiation?”

Tessa set down her knife and fork. “An alpha of Frostmoon Pack should know how to fight for profit with fangs and wit, not grovel for scraps.”

The words hit like frostwolf fangs straight into Cedric’s chest.

His grip on his wine glass tightened, knuckles pale from the strain. Where was she when I was running around for our pack? And now she thinks she has the right to lecture me?

Whatever warmth he’d once felt for Tessa faded even further.

After dinner, Landon personally drove Tessa and Grandpa home. Cedric and the others left in another car.

“Thank you for coming all this way just to have dinner with an old man like me,” Walter said. “Forget the unpleasantness–some people still think clinging to power is more dignified than fighting for it.”

He was ashamed of Cedric’s attempt to take the easy way out.
