Chapter 45 Take a Walk With Me
“I’ve already given you plenty of respect by standing here and listening to you for this long. Stop going on and on like a shrew. If you’re unhappy with the verdict, you can appeal. Don’t waste time spouting useless nonsense here.”
Tessa had never been patient to begin with, and now, she had completely run out.
Marilyn was about to make a move, but sonicone yanked her back so hard that she almost fell to the ground.
“Who the hell…” Marilyn steadied herself, ready to curse at whoever had pulled her. But the moment she saw the newcomer, she didn’t dare utter a word.
Who is this man?
The pressure radiating from him was overwhelming. Just meeting his gaze left her paralyzed, unable to move, unable to speak.
This deep–seated fear, one that came from her very bones, was the absolute suppression of a superíor- ranked wolf.
-Landon had heard that Tessa had taken the afternoon off, so he came to check on her at the school. He
hadn’t expected to witness this scene.
His cold gaze locked onto Marilyn as he unleashed his Alpha aura without hesitation and ordered, “Don’t ever appear in front of her again. If you do, I’ll make sure the Locke family is completely wiped out.”
This outcome was already the lightest punishment they could’ve received after trying to kidnap Ysabel.
Marilyn’s legs trembled violently, and she couldn’t even form a single word.
At that moment, Ysabel stepped outside and immediately spotted Landon. She rushed over to complain, “Uncle Landon! This woman keeps bullying Tessie!”
Landon was already a man of breathtaking beauty, with a tall, perfectly built frame and an aura of dominance. The moment he appeared, he became the center of attention.
Even the girls in the classroom were leaning against the windows, trying to get a better look at him.
Hearing that Queenie’s mother had been bullying Tessa, the students were all stunned,
Tessa is so strong. Who could possibly bully her?
With Landon’s single, dominance–charged command–Get lost!“–Marilyn bolted in terror, as if lingering even a second longer would mean being ripped apart by him.
The evening class was Freya Knox’s physics lesson. When she arrived and took in the chaotic scene, she immediately opened her mouth, poised to reprimand someone.
However, the moment she saw Landon, the words caught in her throat.
“You are…”

before him, she couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of inadequacy.
Once Marilyn had left, Landon withdrew his Alpha pressure.

Finished.
Hearing the teacher’s question, he responded politely, Miss, nice to meet you. I’m Tessa’s guardian.”
Ysabel was stunned. Isn’t Uncle Landon my guardian? Sine when did he become Tessie’s?
At the mention of Tessa’s name, Freya frowned slightly
“Miss, please take good care of Tessa in the future,” Landon said politely.
“Of course.” Freya wasn’t particularly fond of Tessa, a student with a terrible reputation, but in front of this man, she simply couldn’t bring herself to refuse.-
“Hmph! Not bullying Tessa would already be a miracle, Ysabel muttered under her breath.
“Class is starting. Everyone, get inside,” Freya called out to the lingering students.
Tessa was about to follow them in when Landon caught her hand.
Feeling his grip, she stopped and turned to face him.
“Sir, do you need something else?” Freya was still keeping a close eye on Landon’s every move.
“Miss, I just need a few words with Tessa.”
Reluctantly, Freya stepped into the classroom, stealing one last glance at Landon. After all, no one could resist admiring something so captivating.
Once the students and teachers were inside, only Tessa and Landon remained on the field. He stood there, silently watching her, while she showed no impatience.
The breeze lifted strands of her hair, and in that moment, she stood there, effortlessly radiant and an undeniable force of brilliance.
Landon’s gaze softened unconsciously. Then, in a voice filled with warmth, he said, “Take a walk with me.”
