Fell for the Alpha-less Queen novel Chapter 542

Love the Wolfless Power Girl at First Sight

Chapter 542 Breaking the Chain

Tessa tamped down the excitement in her chest and looked up at the two men, her tone steady, as if she were discussing nothing more than a simple transaction. “This time you’ve done well. Payment will be wired to the agreed account, with a bonus on top.”

Surprise flashed in their eyes. They immediately bowed. “Thank you, Tessa.”

Playing along with the act, they said no more and turned to leave.

“I’m going to put this away.” Tessa gave Landon a quick nod, lifted the case, and strode into the bedroom, locking the door behind her – moving so fast she didn’t even give Landon the chance to offer, “Let me carry that for you.”

She set the case into the safe and twisted the hidden lock extra tight.

Only when she leaned against the door of the cabinet did her tightly wound shoulders collapse. Her palm pressed to her chest – her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it might burst free.

Finally… she had the Moonstone.

The blood pact that had tormented her for years – she was finally going to destroy it.

“Tessa! We really did it!” Emma trembled with excitement in her mind, her voice nearly choked with joy. “This Moonstone’s lunar energy is strong enough to burn right through the brand of the blood pact! Once we break it, that shackle Nathan’s had around you will be completely destroyed – no one will be able to manipulate you through the contract again, and you’ll never have to worry about him tracking you down!”

She paused, then her tone ignited, blazing hot like fire. “After that, your blood will belong only to you… to Landon. You can let him mark you whenever you want nothing will be able to stop it anymore.”

–

Tessa’s fingertips pressed against the cold metal door of the safe, but even the icy surface couldn’t cool the heat burning through her hand.

Yes. No more chains.

Once the blood pact was severed, she could stand openly by Landon’s side. His scent could finally be woven completely into her blood. She’d never again have to fear someone using a contract to threaten or control

her.

That thought sprouted like a seed in her chest, bursting into life with a fierce joy that made even her -breathing feel feverishly hot.

“Tessa?” Landon’s voice came from outside the door, followed by a soft knock.

Tessa took a deep breath, shoved down the heat rolling inside her, and when she opened the door, her expression was bright and composed. “All good. The Moonstone’s safely stored.”

“This Moonstone’s lunar energy is so pure it practically burns to the touch. Strong enough to punch through three layers of energy shields,” Landon said, studying her carefully. “The mines in Eclipse Valley have been protected by hidden wolf clans for a thousand years, Mining it is like breaking through a frozen tundra with your bare hands. Why go after such top–grade Moonstone?”

Tessa raised an eyebrow and played it cool. “What else? I’m bailing Xavier out.”

She followed with a smooth explanation. “You know the Coldfang formation depends on the bloodline to

activate. Now that Avery’s not inheriting the corps, the formation’s power is way down. This Moonstone cas purify and boost the energy flow just the thing Xavier needs to rebuild it. Consider it a thank–you for letting Avery come back.”

Landon’s gaze flicked briefly toward the locked safe. He didn’t press further. Instead, he stepped forward and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. “Want me to go with you?”

“No need. You’ve got enough on your plate.” Tessa looked up at him, her eyes smiling. “It’s just a delivery. I’ve got it.”

Landon held her gaze for a moment, then nodded. “Alright. Be careful. Call me if anything happens.

“Okay.” Tessa smiled and hugged him.

His warmth was comforting – but deep down, she knew this was something she had to face alone.

Once Landon left the bedroom, she turned back to the safe, her eyes darkening.
