Chapter 557 Two Men, One Home
Landon shoved the guy aside.
*** +8 Pearl.
“Mr. Oscar, your current basketball team has a serious character problem. I suggest you replace a few players–don’t let them tarnish Navoris University’s reputation.”
With that, he walked over to Tessa. She pulled some tissues from her backpack and rose on tiptoe to wipe the sweat off his face. Landon bent slightly to let her reach, a doting smile in his eyes as he let her gently wipe the moisture from his skin.
“You smell like sweat.” Tessa wrinkled her nose–she liked sports, but hated the stickiness of sweat.
“I’ll shower when we get back. It’s getting late. Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Mr. Oscar stood to the side, completely unable to get a word in and feeling utterly defeated–he didn’t even have the right to offer advice to this alpha king.
“We were just-” the boy Landon had pushed tried to explain.
“Enough. Don’t say another word.” Mr. Oscar cut him off sharply. “Can’t you read the room? In Navoris, who doesn’t know Mr. Landon is off limits?” The university never lacked talent. If these boys insisted on causing trouble, they could be replaced.
“Principal, we really know we were wrong!” the group panicked. “The intercollegiate basketball tournament is coming up. If we’re kicked off the team, it’ll fall apart!”
“I don’t have time for this,” Mr. Oscar said with a wave. “Go tell your coach if you’ve got a problem. I’m not wasting another second here.” He paused and added coldly, “And one more thing–if anyone breathes a word about Mr. Landon’s identity, you’ll deal with the consequences yourself.”
The five were completely stunned, forced to watch helplessly as Landon and Tessa walked away side by side.
In the distance, Nathan had been watching the entire time. He didn’t leave until he saw them enter the apartment building. Then he pulled out a cigarette and lit it.
They were living together?
Just the thought sent a sharp pain through his chest.
Nathan returned to the villa he’d bought in Navoris.
He was already planning to relocate Frost Pack’s core operations here. Only by gaining a foothold on this land could he stand a chance against Landon. This clash between alphas would erupt sooner or later–and he needed to prepare his battleground in advance.
Maybe the warning had worked. Nathan didn’t appear for several days, and Tessa finally enjoyed some peace in her college life.
That evening, affer class, Landon picked her up and brought her back to the apartment near campus While Landon went to shower, Tessa sat on the couch flipping through medical Journals. Suddenly the —

doorbell rang.
She frowned–very few people knew this address. Who could it be?
She opened the door to find Samuel standing there, looking completely disheveled. His clothes were torn in several places:
“What happened?” Tessa’s heart sank.
She knew Michael had assigned Samuel to handle the relocation of the werewolf medical organization. He had been busy running around Montedra lately–and someone so conscious of appearances wouldn’t show up like this without something serious happening.
“Dammit! That clingy bastard Nathan just won’t quit!” Samuel stormed inside, swearing. “He’s like a damn leech–I can’t shake him off!”
Nathan?
Tessa frowned. No wonder he hadn’t shown up lately–he’d been making trouble for Samuel instead.
She shoved Samuel onto the couch. “Don’t move! Where are you hurt?” No way she was stripping him down in public just to check.
“It’s fine, just some surface wounds. You know my healing rate,” Samuel waved her off. He was more concerned about something else. “He didn’t come after you, did he?”
“He did.”
“What? He already came after you?!” Samuel instantly exploded.
“Who?”
Landon had just come out of the shower, a towel loosely wrapped around his waist. He frowned at the sound of their conversation.
