Love the Wolfless Power Girl at First Sight

Chapter 562 Proof Through Presence

When Landon returned to the apartment near the university, Tessa was typing away at her computer, working on a paper. The takeout container on the desk sat empty-it looked like she hadn’t eaten properly

She glanced up when she heard the door open, her expression calm as if nothing had happened that day. “You’re back? Have you eaten?”

Landon sat down beside her, eyes sweeping over the open stack of academic articles-each page filled with dense notes in her meticulous handwriting. “You’re only a freshman. Do you really need to push yourself this hard?” He closed the laptop gently, his fingers brushing her cool hand.

Tessa smiled and snatched the mouse back, her fingers flying over the keyboard. “Of course I do. The sooner I graduate, the sooner I can…” She paused, her cars turning red. “The sooner I can stand openly by your side.”

Her strength was more than enough to walk beside him-what she lacked was the title. The right to stand beside him, openly, with the full recognition of Nightshade Pack.

Landon pulled her into his arms, holding her close. “No rush.” He nuzzled the top of her head, his voice soft. “Take your time with school. No need to hurry the bond either. Don’t wear yourself out-I’ll worry.”

As long as she was by his side, what did a title matter-today or tomorrow?

“I’m kidding. I’m really not tired,” she said, turning to look at him. Her eyes sparkled. “Honestly, I really like my life right now. It feels grounded. Fulfilling.”

“Mhm.” Landon nodded, but he still reached over and gently pinched her earlobe. “As long as you’re sure the person beside you is me, I’ll wait however long it takes.”
