HappyNovelChapter 434 Fangs in the Shadows.
After the meeting ended and the executives filed out, Peter walked up to Landon. A faint flicker of a wolf tai shimmered behind her-typical body language of a young werewolf brimming with excitement.
"Landon, thank you for givingthis opportunity. I won't let you down." "I didn't give you anything. You earned this yourself." If she didn't have the ability, no one's favor would've helped her.
"From now on, stick with Nathaniel. If you run into any issues, go directly to him." Landon was essentially assigning Peter a mentor.
"Understood." Peter's smile was polite and sweet, but for someone so seemingly innocent, she'd handled a complex crisis with surprising clarity-no small feat.
"Let's go," Landon said, looking to Tessa. When she stood, he pulled out her chair for her with quiet attentiveness.

The faint scent of lily of the valley on her skin blended almost perfectly with Landon's pinewood pheromones-like a pair of born mates, destined from the start...
Just as Peter was watching her, Tessa glanced back.
Only once. Then she turned and walked away.
She was long used to the gaze of awe in other people's eyes.
"Work hard. You're technically my apprentice now. Don't embarrass me, got it?" Nathaniel added with a grin.
Peter nodded quickly. "Don't worry! I'll do my best. I won't let any of you down!" Finally. After all this time, all her hard work was paying off.
"Nine o'clock tomorrow. Be on time. I can't stand people who aren't punctual." The subtle growl in his voice, a trait unique to alphas, made Peter instinctively straighten her back.
"Yes, sir!" With that, Nathaniel followed Landon and Tessa out.
Peter watched their retreating backs, her heart pounding. Her gland burned with adrenaline.
One day, she would have everything she dreamed of. She'd stand at the top of the pack-like a true alpha.
On the drive back, Tessa remained quiet. Landon held her hand gently.
"Tired?" he asked, concerned.
Tessa turned to look at him.

Suddenly, Emma's voice echoed in her mind. Something foul is coming.
Tessa's head whipped toward the window. Her werewolf night vision allowed her to clearly see several motorcycles shooting out from a side alley, rapidly closing in on their car.
The riders were cloaked in pitch-black hoods soaked in toxic compounds. The pale-blue e skin m visible beneath their hoods shimmered with an unnatural hue. Pulsing, dark-purple veins throbbed around their necks-the mark of someone who'd taken the berserker serum.
"They're not ordinary wolves." Landon's tone dropped, dark and focused. Obsidian Crystal Wolf m markings lit up from his collarbone, rising up his neck. "They're using a forbidden wolf ritual-the Embrace of the Dead. They maintain combat strength by feeding on the corpses of their own kin." Nathaniel pulled a silver wolf whistle from his belt-a Nightshade Pack relic used to summon hunters. The whistle emitted a chilling alpha subharmonic.
"Their scent... their glands reek like shredded carrion. I can't even tell what pack they're from," he muttered. Landon's eyes narrowed, dangerously sharp.
