EuropeNovelChapter 543 The Full Moon and the Lie
The days passed in their usual rhythm. Landon remained busy with business and pack affairs.
Tessa went to class as scheduled, occasionally bringing up the TS Entertainment expansion. She said shed
already found a plot of land in the suburbs and planned to sign the contract after the full moon.
Wolves were naturally sensitive to lunar shifts. Full moons brought the strongest energy surges, so using that
timing made sense-not just as a cover story for “high energy equals good luck for signing,” but also because the
blood pact ritual required that slunar power.
“I'll go with you,” Landon said as he stood, the edges of his fingers already glowing faintly with that cold light
unique to awakened wolves-the full moon always made his instincts more alert, and the wolf within him restless.
Flex’s voice rumbled through his mind with low warning: “She’s hiding something. Her heartbeat is faster than
usual, her scent’s laced with tension. | tried reaching Emma, but she’s ignoring me. They're definitely keeping
secrets.”
Tessa pressed her hand to his arm, her smile touched with helpless confidence. “It’s just a contract signing. | can
handle it.”

“But tonight's the full moon. Rogues get agitated out in the woods-they might attack anything that moves...”
Tessa raised an eyebrow with a teasing smile. “Tch, I've awakened as a white wolf, remember? You think I'd get
hurt by a bunch of Rogues?”
Still, Landon didn’t let go. His gaze darkened. “Why won't you letcome? | won't get in the way. I'll just wait in
the car.”
Flex growled low in his head: “She’s deliberately talking up her strength to put you at ease. But her aura doesn’t
lie - that's the resolve of someone heading into danger, not someone going to sign a damn lease.”
Tessa gently patted the back of his hand, adding a playful tilt to her voice. “Con, | just wanted to surprise
you. If you tag along, what kind of surprise is that?”
“Surprise?” Landon frowned. “Didn’t you say
“Close enough.”
it was a contract?”
Breaking the blood pact, then forming a new one with him... that was a kind of contract, wasn't it?
She saw the deep furrow in his brow and reached out to smooth it with her fingertips. “Be good. Don’t you have
a Nightshade Pack meeting tonight? It’s almost time-you don’t want to be late.”
If not for the strict tconstraint required by the unbinding ritual, she would've waited for him to leave for the
meeting before sneaking off-just so he wouldn't worry or grow suspicious.
Landon’s Adam's apple shifted. He tried one last time. “You really can’t just tellwhat it is? Even a hint?”
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust her strength. But the unease inside him wrapped around his ribs like a vine, tight
and relentless.
“I told you-it’s a surprise.” Tessa winked, a mischievous glint in her eye. “When | cback and tell you, |
promise you'll say lettinggo alone was the right call.”

She deliberately emphasized the words “right call, hoping to reassure him.
Landon stayed silent a few moments longer. Gradually, Flex’s agitation settled. She wasn’t wrong - her white
wolf bloodline was powerful. Ordinary threats wouldn't touch her.

He leaned in and kissed her forehead, his fingertips brushing the top of her hair. “Keep your phone on. Check in
every thirty minutes.”
“Got it.” Tessa smiled, hugged him tight, and grabbed her briefcase. “I'm off. Wait for good news.
Landon stood by the window, watching her car disappear into the night. His fingers whitened from how hard he
gripped the frame.
Flex’s voice cagain: “Her aura shifted once she left the city. It’s focused now. Intent. Like she’s heading. into
a ritual that’s been planned for a long time.”
Landon didn’t respond. He pulled out his phone and opened their location sharing-something they'd set up
jokingly before. The little glowing dot on the map crept steadily toward the forested outskirts.
He didn’t chase after it.
She was a white wolf. A true alpha. She could handle herself
He had to trust her.
But the unease in his chest swelled like the ocean's tide beneath the full moon-relentless and hard to shake.
He opened their chat window, typed “If anything happens, call me,” paused, then deleted it. He replaced it with
“Be safe,” stared at it for a long time, and only then hit send.
