Love the Wolfless Power Girl at First Sight

Chapter 577 Bound by Vows, Driven by Purpose

Landon chuckled softly, his voice warming. “You really think I’d let you shoulder all this alone?”

He paused, then spoke with firm gentleness. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of myself. You do the same don’t take off your suit, and do not touch the virus samples.”

“Got it.” Tessa’s voice softened. She shifted the phone to her other hand, her fingers unconsciously picking at the wall. “Landon… I miss you.”

There was a beat of silence on the other end before Landon’s deep voice came through, low and steady. “I miss you too.”

His grip on the phone tightened. “Once I’m back, I’ll take you to see your grandfather.”

“Okay.” Tessa sniffled quietly. “You’d better–mean it. If you get hurt, I’m not going to forgive you.”

“Same goes for you,” Landon said with a warm laugh. “If you dare take risks, you’re going to answer to me.”

A thousand words crowded her throat but in the end, she only said, “I should get back to work.”

“Okay. Hang up now.”

Tessa ended the call and leaned her head back against the wall, closing her eyes for a moment.

They both worried for each other.

But with so much at stake, neither of them could afford to back down.

All they could do was give it their all–while protecting themselves, so the other wouldn’t have to suffer.

Landon stared at the darkened screen, worry still heavy in his chest.

Hudson, seeing his expression, clapped a reassuring hand on his shoulder. “Don’t stress. Tessa’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever met. She’ll take care of herself.”

Landon exhaled.

Words weren’t enough anymore. noveldrama

The only thing that would help Tessa now… was finding the one behind all this.

Everything else was meaningless if the real culprit remained in the shadows.

It had been years since the four of them had tackled something together–but when they did, nothing was impossible.

“By the way,” Hudson added, his tore tightening, “Nathaniel just reported in–Nathan’s escaped.”

“He’s back in Frost Pack.”

Landon’s eyes darkened.

“After everything he suffered in that–vault,” Hudson said grimly, “he’s not going to let it go. We need to bolster our defenses.”

“Let him come,” Landon said, tapping the table with two fingers. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. Its me b and I settled this–once and for all.”

Hudson nodded. “That said, Frost Pack runs deep in Yalvaria. It’s his turf. Even a strong dragon can t outmatch the local snake. We’d better tread carefully.”

“Yeah.”

Back in Montedra, the capital city of Navoris had erupted into full–blown panic.

News of the virus could no longer be contained. People on the streets whispered in fear. Hospitals were flooded with possible cases.

Thankfully, more medical experts were arriving by the hour. And when they learned that the legendary Michael himself was heading up the research, they fell in line immediately–willing to follow his every instruction.

Inside the lab, for the first time, there was rhythm, order, and hope.

After several days working closely together, Michael was more and more awed by Tessa’s talent.

He’d always known her as a surgical prodigy–but he never imagined she would excel at genetic sequence analysis too.

His decision to relocate the medical organization to Montedra felt more right with each passing moment.

He handed her a cup of warm water, concern flickering in his eyes as he noticed how pale she looked.

Tessa accepted it quietly. “Thank you.”

“Tessa,” he said, his tone solemn, “you’re extraordinary.”

“At your age, most girls are still living carefree liyes. But here you are–in the middle of a crisis, calm and composed, holding everything together. That’s rare.”

Tessa took a sip of the water. The tension that had gripped her for days finally began to ease with the recent progress in research.

She smiled faintly. “I’m not extraordinary. I just believe in myself. And I believe Montedra’s people can survive this.”

That belief that quiet, immovable certainty–was the reason she hadn’t left this place, not for a second.
