Fell for the Alpha-less Queen (Tessa and Landon) novel Chapter 544

Chapter 544 Severed for Good

When Tessa drove out of the city, she finally allowed herself a deep breath. She quietly disabled the location–sharing function on her phone, then opened her private navigation app and switched the destination to the secret villa.

Thirty minutes later, the black sedan pulled into a concealed forest path. The villa lay hidden among the trees, with only a faint light glowing from a second–floor window–the nightlight she’d left on in advance, to illuminate the layout of the array.

As soon as she opened the villa’s front door, a rush of air hit her–thick with the scent of cold iron and ancient wolf sigils. In the center of the living room, the Sealing Array shimmered silver under the moonlight, exactly as described in the Wolf Codex, a nine–grid formation inlaid with crushed wolf bone powder. At its core sat a shallow indentation–just large enough for the Moonstone.

“Are you ready?” Emma’s voice echoed in her mind, carrying a thread of tension.

Tessa nodded and locked the door behind her. She stepped into the center of the array and sat down. From her document folder, she took out the Moonstone, its surface glowing ice–blue in the moonlight, weaving into the silver lines of the array like a living web…

“It’s going to hurt,” Emma warned, her voice low and steady. “The lunar incantation will fight back. The silver ring will start burning, and then-‘

“”

“I know. But no pain could be worse than what I felt when I was forced into that bond.” Tessa cut her off, her fingers brushing the silver ring. She’d worn it for five years. It felt like it had grown into her bone. The words forever yours etched inside were already branded into her flesh.

She placed the Moonstone into the core of the array and bit her fingertip, letting her blood drip onto the crystal.

The Moonstone instantly burst into blinding blue light. Energy surged along the array lines, filling the room and locking into place inside the Sealing Array. Tessa’s ring finger seared with white–hot pain, like a branding iron pressed into her bone. The silver ring pulsed with black light, clashing violently against the Moonstone’s glow–the lunar energy trying to purify the curse, the curse clawing back in its final death throes.

“Ugh…” A choked cry escaped her lips. Sweat beaded instantly on her forehead. The silver ring burned so intensely it felt like it was melting into her bone. The lunar incantation etched inside it stabbed upward like a thousand fine needles burrowing toward her heart–sharper than any blood pact flare–up she’d ever endured.

“Focus!” Emma shouted. “Let the Moonstone’s energy flow through your blood–use it to drown the incantation!”

Tessa clenched her teeth, forcing herself to lean into the icy–blue current. It was like glacial water, flooding through her veins, washing over every nerve. Wherever it touched, the black glow of the curse dimmed- but with every inch it faded, the backlash worsened. She could hear faint cracking sounds inside the ring- that was the resonance core Nathan had repaired with his own blood essence… now being annihilated.

She didn’t know how long it lasted.

When the Moonstone’s glow finally began to fade and the array’s silver light settled, the silver ring that had bound her for five years gave a sharp snap and split clean in two–then clinked to the floor.

Her ring finger was finally free. Only a pale indentation remained, as if nothing had ever been there at all

Tessa collapsed in the center of the array, drenched in cold sweat, her fingers still trembling. But when the looked down at the shattered ring on the floor, a laugh escaped her–shaky and breathless, but full of relief

It was over. The chain Nathan had forced on her was finally broken.

At that exact moment, far away in Yalvaria, deep in the Frost Pack territory, Nathan stood before an altar.

Without warning, the blood–bond silver ring on his left ring finger slipped off and clattered against the icy

stone.
