Crosses the Line Again

Nathan followed at a distance, quiet as a shadow. He kept his scent buried deep, doing everything he could to stay beneath Landon’s Alpha fadar.

The moment he knew she’d seen him, he sent a text. “So…. your boyfriend is Landon?”

Tessa stared at the message on her phone, her fingers curling into a fist.

“What’s wrong?” Landon’s voice cut in, calm but alert. He’d picked up on her mood instantly.

“Nothing.” Tessa fired back a message to Nathan. “This has nothing to do with you. Stop following me.”

Nathan’s response came seconds later. Just a smiley face–blood red and marked with a crescent moon.

“What is it?” Landon watched her, eyes sharp. He could tell something was off.

“It’s nothing.”

He didn’t press. If she didn’t want to talk, he’d respect that–for now.
