Landon, are you going to the water park?” Cameron was shocked. He couldn’t even imagine what someone like Landon would be like in a water park..
“Yeah.”
“That’s not normal for you.” Cameron looked Landon and down.
Landon said, “You guys keep playing here. Tonight, I’ll bring a friend for you to meet.” Even Tessa hadn’t had the chance to meet his friend yet.
“A guy or a girl?” Cameron was even more curious.
“You’ll find out when the time comes.”
By the time Nathaniel and Cameron arrived at the water park, Tessa and Ysabel were already in line for the log flume ride. Since it was the weekend, the place was packed.
Tessa was on her phone, but Ysabel was the first to spot Landon.
“Uncle Landon? What are you doing here?” Isn’t he the last person who would ever come to such a childish place?
“I saw your Facebook post, so I came to check things out.”
Check what out?
Ysabel still didn’t get it.
In Navoris, even in September, the weather was still scorching. Tessa was already sweating from the heat.
Noticing the beads of sweat on her face, Landon spoke up. “You two, come here. Nathaniel, get in line.”
Nathaniel immediately stepped forward to take their place in line, exchanging a subtle glance at Ysabel, who looked flawless with her perfectly done makeup.
Landon couldn’t stand seeing Tessa out in the sun. And Nathaniel didn’t want Ysabel to be exposed to it either.
Even though Ysabel was a wolfless girl, he had liked her from the moment he first laid eyes on her. But he wasn’t ready to let her know that yet.
She was still young, and he was afraid of scaring her away.
Landon led Ysabel and Tessa to the shade of a large tree
“Just wait here.”
He was dressed casually today, which made him look a few years younger. With his naturally striking features, he was already drawing the attention of many girls around them.
Noticing a vendor selling straw hats, he bought one for each of them.
He handed one to Ysabel but personally placed the other on Tessa’s head.

Tessa had fair skin, and now, after being under the sun, it was already turning red.
“Did you put on sunscreen?”
“No.”
She never liked the stuff. It always felt uncomfortable on her skin.
Landon turned to Ysabel. “Give me your sunscreen.”
Squeezing some onto his hand, he reached out to apply it to Tessa’s face.
She instantly grabbed his wrist.
“What are you doing?”
“Don’t move.” Ignoring her resistance, Landon began smoothing the sunscreen onto her skin.
His fingers glided across her face, and the slight flush she already had deepened.
He had absolutely no sense of restraint. People were everywhere, and Ysabel was standing right beside them.
Even though she felt a little embarrassed, Tessa didn’t push him away, letting him carefully apply the
sunscreen.
Ysabel, watching from the side, was completely stunned.
What is happening right now? Since when did Uncle Landon care about anyone like this?
Once Landon finished with her face, he squeezed more sunscreen onto her arms and gently spread it over her skin.
Ysabel almost thought she was hallucinating.
The Landon she knew was always cold and untouchable, yet here he was, unexpectedly gentle and considerate.
When Nathaniel returned with the tickets, he froze for a moment. It was the first time he had ever seen Alpha acting this attentive.
Realizing what was happening, he quickly grabbed Ysabel and pulled her away.
“Tickets are ready. Let’s go!”
“What the hell? Did Uncle Landon take the wrong meds or something?” That was the only logical explanation.
“Maybe.” Nathaniel didn’t say much more.
No one could predict what would happen between Alpha and Tessa in the future.
After all, Landon wasn’t just anyone. He was Alpha of the Nightshade Pack and the strongest werewolf in Montedra. Every decision he made affected the safety of countless packs.

That meant his choice of mate wasn’t just a personal matter. Whoever became his Luna had to be strong enough to shoulder the responsibility that came with the title.
Even if Landon truly fell in love with Tessa and wanted to make her his Luna, the elders of the Nightshade. Pack would definitely oppose it.
And even if he used his authority to silence all objections and made Tessa his Luna, behind the glory lay endless dangers.
Landon’s position meant that he had enemies lurking in the shadows, watching his every move, including the people around him.
And Tessa, without a wolf of her own, had no natural defense against the dangers of their world.
Nathaniel couldn’t say for sure whether she could survive in such a treacherous environment on her own.
Indeed, she had the skills to perform surgery and remove bullets from Alpha. And sure, she could handle trained werewolf mercenaries.
But at the end of the day, she didn’t have a wolf. And in the werewolf world, that was a fatal weakness.
Unless one day, she awak
her wolf.
In any case, Landon and Tessa’s future was full of uncertainties, and Nathaniel wouldn’t jump to any conclusions.
For now, though, Landon was already 28 and had never dated anyone before.
If he really was interested in Tessa, maybe it was a good thing.
At least he’d finally experience love, instead of always being a cold, work–obsessed machine.
