Chapter 429 Beneath the Frost

48 Pearle

Freezing rain fell over Frost Harbor in Astrovia, cach drop crystallizing the instant it hit the tarmac. Web- like frost patterns clung to the glass walls of the distant skyscrapers—clear signs of the Frost Pack’s barrier.

The moment they stepped off the plane, Landon took off his coat and wrapped it around Tessa.

Just then, the cabin steward arrived with umbrellas. Landon took only one, opened it, and held it up over the both of them as he pulled Tessa close and walked her out.

Nathaniel accepted another umbrella silently.

Alpha had to be doing this on purpose.

There were obviously enough umbrellas to go around, so why share one? Did he want to get rained on?

What was going through his mind?

Were people in love always like this?

Always glued to each other, no matter where or when?

Whatever. Not his business. Nathaniel opened his umbrella and followed behind them–at a distance.

He was absolutely done being third–wheeled.

Outside the airport, their car was already waiting. Landon escorted Tessa to it, a staff member opened the door, and once she was inside, he finally closed the umbrella and got in as well.

Nathaniel climbed in after them.
