Only You
“Don’t let Tessa find out about this.”

“But…” Nathaniel had barely said a word before catching the warning in Landon’s eyes. Reluctantly, he swallowed the rest and replied, “Alright. Got it.”
After the meeting, Landon returned to his office.
There she was–Tessa, sound asleep on the couch.
He didn’t wake her. Instead, he just watched quietly from the side.
What exactly was the relationship between Tessa and Nathan?
No matter what Tessa said, he would always believe her.
But even so, he couldn’t bring himself to ask.
Whatever connection Nathan thought he had, it didn’t matter. Tessa was his–and only his.
And if Nathan dared to try anything… Landon wouldn’t show mercy.
When Tessa stirred awake, the first thing she saw was Landon, still standing there, silently watching her. She had no idea how long he’d been like that.
A sleepy smile bloomed in her bright blue eyes.
She stood and walked over to him, wrapping her arms around him from behind.
“The meeting’s over? Why didn’t you wake me?”
“You looked exhausted. I wanted you to sleep a little longer.” His voice was low and deep–rich and smooth, almost intoxicating.
“We said we’d go eat together, remember? Ysabel’s been down lately. Let’s bring her along.”
Ysabel was a true Avery Band fan. And with everything happening lately, she’d been understandably emotional.
“I don’t want to bring that third wheel. If she’s upset, let Nathaniel deal with her. Tonight, I just want time with you.”
It was rare enough for him to get time alone with her. Why should Ysabel always tag along?
Tessa hugged him tighter.
“Alright. Since you insist, we’ll keep it just the two of us.”
She could talk to Ysabel another time.
“That’s more like it. Tessa, remember–I’m the most important person in your life.”
Nothing and no one else mattered.
Tessa smiled sweetly. “I remember. Don’t worry–if you say it, I’ll remember it.”

Chapter 511 Only You
Her eyes sparkled like starlight. Ever since being with him, she’d smiled so much more.
18 Fears
Landon brought her to a renowned hot spring resort nestled in the Navoris mountains, famous for its healing waters.
He knew she hadn’t been sleeping well lately, and once he learned about the springs‘ therapeutic properties -especially beneficial for wolves–he bought the entire resort.
In her name.
“From now on, let’s make time every week to come soak in the springs,” he said over dinner.
“What’s with the sudden romantic streak?” she teased. “We’re both so busy. Do you really think we can come here every week?”
“These springs draw from an underground river connected to the Eclipse Hollow mines. The Moonforce in the water repairs mental fatigue in wolfkind–it helps with sleep and restores energy.”
