Fell for the Alpha-less Queen 611 Love the Wolfless Power Girl at First Sight Chapter 611 The Luna's Arrival Finished Before dawn broke, laughter had already risen from the sacred mountain, rolling down the slopes as the Nightshade wolves prepared for the great day.
In the Sinclair family villa, however, the atmosphere was hushed with anticipation. Tessa sat before her mirror, dressed in a pale moon-white gown embroidered with silver wolf patterns. Her long hair had been braided intricately, adorned with pearls and feathers. She looked every bit the Luna she was about to become.

Ysabel, clutching a spare veil, beamed brightly. "I'm going to stand right up front for the ceremony! Uncle was so nervous last night he messagedat midnight to ask whether the Luna's ribbons should be tied in a bow or a knot. I laughed at him for hours." Heat crept up Tessa's cheeks. She gave Ysabel a look. "Stop teasing. Just callthe sas always." "No way!" Ysabel's grin widened as she twirled the veil. "After today you'll officially be my aunt, and I can't mess that up. Besides, if Uncle hears I didn't call you right, he'll punishby makingcopy the pack laws." Camille chimed in, laughing. “For her sake, Tessa, you'll just have to accept it." Their chatter dissolved the tension that had been coiling in the room.
The light mood faltered when Yardley and Lila entered. Their smiles were too forced, too rehearsed.
"Tessa," Yardley said quickly, rubbing his hands together, "once you're bonded, you'll be Luna of Nightshade. With this union, the Sinclair family will rise in Navoris. You'll put in a word for us with the alpha, won't you?" "Yes," Lila rushed to agree. "Your grandfather always dreamed you'd have a fine match. Now that you're marrying into Nightshade, it brings honor to the whole family." Tessa didn't turn. Her fingers brushed the wolf pendant at her throat as she replied evenly, "This bond is between Landon and me. If the Sinclairs want to stand tall, it should be through their own strength, not by clinging to a marriage." She rose and crossed the room to the photo wall. There, her grandfather's portrait hung in traditional wolf garb, his smile warm and kind.
Softly, she whispered, “Grandpa, today I'll bond with Landon. He's good to me, and he'll protectall my life. Don't worry. I'll be happy." A beam of sunlight broke through the window, casting gold across the frame, as if in silent blessing.
The doorbell rang. Camille rushed to open it, her laughter spilling down the hall. "Mr. Thorne is here!" At the threshold stood Landon, dressed in a dark formal suit, the wolf-shaped insignia pinned to his chest matching the one at Tessa's neck/Behind him, Nathaniel and the Nightshade guards waited in formation.
The moment he saw her, his composure faltered, tension betraying itself in the faint flush that touched his ears. But he straightened anyway, extending his hand. "I've cto take you." Ysabel skipped forward and tugged his sleeve. "Doesn't my aunt look beautiful today? Chapter 611 The Luna's Arrival Finished Landon's gaze lingered on Tessa, so tender it seemed it might overflow. He nodded once, firmly. “The most beautiful." Her heart fluttered under his stare. She nudged his arm, embarrassed.
Yardley and Lila crowded forward to exchange pleasantries, but Landon only gave them a polite mod, his m focus unwavering. He did not breathe freely until Tessa placed her hand into his, and then his voice dropped low. "Let's go." The convoy pulled away from Sinclair territory toward the sacred mountain.
Through the car window, the passing landscape blurred into light and shadow. Landon's kandclosed tightly around hers, his thumb brushing over her knuckles. "When I saw you at the door just now, I thought I was dreaming." Tessa leaned into him with a smile. "So did I."
To him, her hand felt like the very heart of the world. He held it as m though it might vanish if he let go, guarding this long-fought, hard-won joy as though even the wind might try to take it from him. 5.4K to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
