Ethan had been trying to get in touch with Tessa ever since he brought Richard around, but no matter how much he searched, he couldn’t find any information on her. Today, while out for a meal with friends, he hadn’t expected to run into her.
“Ms. Sinclair, could we have a word in private?” Ethan was extremely polite, his tone carrying a hint of respect.
Navoris was a big place, and Tessa hadn’t anticipated running into Ethan here, but she wasn’t opposed to him either.
“You guys go ahead! I’ll head to school on my own in a bit.”
Landon glanced at Ethan and then, without saying anything more, headed downstairs.
Ysabel kept her eyes on Ethan. Who is this guy? How does he know Tessie? And he looks like he’s not someone to mess with.
Ysabel wanted to keep watching, but Nathaniel pulled her away.
“What are you looking at? Is he better looking than me?”
“He is better looking than you! No, I have to go back; who knows what he wants with our Tessie? She’s too attractive. Though, they do look good together…”
Nathaniel couldn’t help but glance at Landon walking ahead.
Nathaniel sighed helplessly, shaking his head. Does she not see how interested the alpha is in Tessa? And she dares to say such things now.
“Nathaniel, you take Ysabel to school,” Landon said, clearly relieved.
“Uncle, I’ll wait for Tessa.”
Landon looked at Ysabel. Fine! In front of her uncle, she wouldn’t dare make a fuss and resignedly touched her nose and left.
Meanwhile, Tessa politely asked Ethan, “Mr. Ethan, what else do you need?”
“I need a favor and didn’t have your number. Could you give me your number?”
Ethan’s friend came out to use the restroom and heard him. He couldn’t help laughing. “Mr. Ethan, if you want to ask her out, just say so. The young lady is quite a looker.”
“Get lost.” Ethan’s response was curt..
“Alright, I’m gone. Won’t hang around to be a third wheel.”
Ethan was considered mature beyond his years. At twenty–eight, he had risen to his current position through undeniable competence.
Yet here he was, slightly embarrassed in front of a seventeen–year–old girl.

Tessa smiled.
“Phone.”
Ethan handed her his phone, and she quickly keyed in her number.

“Tessa, are you interested in joining our special police unit?” Both the detective and the special units needed
her.
Tessa chuckled lightly, “Since when does the detective unit recruit people without a wolf?”
Ethan hurried to explain, “You’re different! You’re a high–end tech talent. Even without a wolf, the police would make an exception for you. We really need someone with your skills!“.
Tessa still shook her head and said, “Not interested.”
“Please consider it. I really hope you’ll join the special unit.” Ethan extended a sincere invitation. “By the way, where are you headed? Can I give you a ride?”
“No thanks, I’m heading back to school. You’re busy, go ahead!”
Watching Tessa walk away, Ethan pondered; this young lady was no ordinary girl.
Tessa descended the stairs and exited the restaurant, spotting Landon still waiting outside.
He stood there, casually holding a cigarette, lost in thought.
Even smoking, Landon was a sight to behold, effortlessly drawing the gaze of many girls.
Yet his strong presence deterred anyone from approaching.
Tessa walked up to him.
“Didn’t I tell you to go ahead? Why are you still here?”
“Waiting for you.”
Landon didn’t ask further; his car was already brought around. He opened the door for her.
“Taking you to school?” It was almost time for evening classes.
“Yes.”
He had waited just to take her to school.
Of course, Landon wouldn’t admit he was there because he was worried some other guy might whisk Tessa
away.
That man’s look at Tessa had been troubling, and he could sense the other was also a high–ranking werewolf. This gave Landon a sense of urgency.
After all, his girl wasn’t officially his yet…
