He had never claimed to be a selfless man. In his world, her safety would always matter more than saving the world.

Tessa noticed the red in his eyes and gave him a gentle shove. “You came straight from Yalvaria, didn’t you? Landed and ran straight here?”

“Mhm.” Landon didn’t deny it. He scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the narrow bed in the break room. “I wanted to see you first.”

The small hospital bed left no space between them. Pressed together so closely, he could feel every breath she took against his neck. Exhaustion ebbed from his limbs under her touch, but being this close–after so long–set his nerves humming again.

Tessa nestled deeper into his arms, nose brushing his collarbone. “You haven’t slept either.”

Landon let out a quiet laugh in the dark and turned, pulling her tighter against him.

His lips brushed against hers almost by accident–and that single touch lit a fuse between them. Their breaths tangled, quickened. He gave her one more kiss, slow and restrained, before pulling back.

“Not enough,” Tessa said firmly, pointing at a subtle gene fluctuation on the screen. “Even a minor side effect like this could cause latent damage to the werewolf gene chain. It needs further refinement.”

When he saw them approach, he jumped down and opened the doors.

“Mr. Michael, ma’am,” he said respectfully. Now that Michael was operating on Montedra soil, Ethan’s job was to ensure his safety at all costs.

Michael climbed in. Tessa followed.

They were driven into a highly fortified military base. Deep inside, Stephen was locked inside a reinforced isolation cell.

When he saw Michael enter, he lunged for the bars, eyes bloodshot with rage. “Traitor! You think moving the medical institute to Montedra means you’ve won? As long as I live, I’ll never let you succeed!”

Michael only scoffed. “Still so arrogant for a man behind bars. When you unleashed a genetic virus on civilians, did you think this day wouldn’t come?”
