Navoris High was a picturesque high school, designed like a park, with a river winding through the entire campus. Tessa led him along the meandering stream.
Neither of them spoke. The only sounds were the murmuring of the water and the rhythmic chirping of cicadas.
“You have a beautiful campus.”
“Mr. Thorne, you’ve seen so many breathtaking places. What’s Navoris High compared to that?”
Tessa nudged a small stone with the tip of her shoe. She had no idea why he had sought her out tonight, but at least it meant skipping Freya’s class. That alone made this evening worthwhile.
Lost in thought, she failed to notice the step in front of her. Her balance faltered.
Before she could steady herself, Landon, who had been watching her intently, moved swiftly, grasping her hand and pulling her back with effortless ease.
Tessa stumbled straight into his chest. The rich scent of pinewood enveloped her in an instant.
She didn’t understand why, but every time she caught his scent, a peculiar thrill coursed through her veins.
She liked the way he smelled, so much so that she wanted to stay there, nestled against him, absorbing his warmth and his scent.
It wasn’t until Landon’s deep voice broke the moment, “Are you okay?” that Tessa snapped back to reality. She quickly stepped back, standing upright.
“I’m fine.”
Realizing where her thoughts had strayed, a rush of heat crept up her neck.
Why do I always lose composure around him?
Bathed in moonlight, her downcast gaze and slightly parted lips made something in Landon’s chest tighten.
He clenched his fists, suppressing the impulse to pull her close again, and instead, he maintained his composed demeanor. “Let’s go. I’ll walk you back to class.”
Emotions churned within him. Being around her always made it far too easy to let his guard d wasn’t an impulsive teenager, but in front of this 17–year–old girl, he felt an uncharacteristic longing.
The location was a high school. She was still too young. He could wait for her to grow up.
By the time Tessa returned, the first evening class had already ended.

“Tessie, what did my uncle say to you? You were with him for an entire class period!” Ysabel’s eyes sparkled with curiosity. “My uncle isn’t exactly the warm and friendly type. He definitely treats you differently.”
At the memory of that embrace, Tessa’s face betrayed her, flushing red once again.
“Why is your face so red? Are you running a fever?” Ysabel reached out to touch her forehead.
“I’m fine. It’s just too warm here.” Tessa brushed her hand away.
“He probably treats me differently because of you.” Tessa made up an excuse, unwilling to linger on the subject.
She had no desire to dwell on it.
The weekend arrived in the blink of an eye.
Tessa had no plans and intended to sleep in before visiting her grandpa in the afternoon.
But before she could enjoy a peaceful morning, the doorbell rang.
When she opened the door, Ysabel stood outside, dressed in vibrant, youthful attire, brimming with
energy.
“Tessie! You’re still in bed? The weather is gorgeous today! How could you waste it by staying inside?”
“Where are you going?”
“The water park!” Ysabel had been wanting to go for ages. She adored everything about water parks.
“Come on! You’re coming with me.”
“Alright.”
Since Ysabel had already shown up at her doorstep, Tessa had little choice but to change her plans.
She kept her outfit simple–a white T–shirt layered with a light blue batwing–sleeve blouse, paired with snug blue jeans.
Even with such an effortless outfit, she looked breathtaking.
Ysabel stared in awe.
“Tessie, you’re unreal. It’s not fair!” She wiped the corner of her mouth exaggeratedly. “Look, I’m practically drooling.”
“Let’s go! You look wonderful too!”
At the water park entrance, Ysabel pulled Tessa into a quick photo session. Both of them were beautiful, and every shot was effortlessly picture–perfect.

Meanwhile, Landon and his group were at Willow Ridge Resort, playing golf.
Landon’s technique and power were unparalleled. Nathaniel and the others didn’t stand a chance.
“Alpha, does completely destroying us at this game give you a sense of satisfaction?” Nathaniel grumbled in frustration.
Nathaniel was Landon’s beta, but he was also his close friend. In private, they spoke freely, without the usual formality.
After suffering defeat after defeat, Nathaniel gave up on playing altogether. He leaned back and scrolled through his phone, until something caught his eye.
“Oh? Mr. Thorne and Tessa went to the water park together? And they’re dressed up, too. They’re bound to turn some heads.” Nathaniel deliberately raised his voice, knowing full well how Landon felt about Tessa.
As expected, the moment he finished speaking, Landon strode over and snatched his phone,
Tessa’s image filled the screen. Her beauty was so striking that she looked as if she had stepped straight out of a magazine.
Without a second thought, Landon tossed his golf club aside.
“Go get the car. We’re going to the water park.”
