Love the Wolfless Power Girl at First Sight

Chapter 545 Burned Into Ashes noveldrama

The full moon outside the window slowly dipped toward the west as the glow of the spirit–sealing array faded into nothing.

Tessa picked up the broken ring from the ground and tossed it straight into the metal basin where the charcoal still burned.

The flames crackled as they licked the silver shards, charring the engraved words – Forever Yours – until they turned pitch black. From now on, she was free.

Bracing herself on the floor, she stood up. Her legs were still a little weak, but she felt lighter all over. Without the suppression of the blood bond, even her breathing came easier.

“We did it,” Emma said with a smile in her voice. “The spell’s fully broken. The blood bond is gone. There won’t be a trace of Nathan left in your glands.”

Tessa walked to the window and pushed it open, letting the night wind flow in.

The air in the forest carried the fresh scent of grass and trees. Without the weight of the blood bond, even the moonlight felt freer.

She pulled out her phone and saw a message Landon had sent half an hour ago: “Still busy?”

Her fingers tapped a reply on the screen: “Almost done, heading back soon-”

As soon as it sent, she could almost picture the way Landon’s brows would finally relax when he read it.

Now, she could finally stand beside him without any burden. Let his mark be the only one etched into her blood.

Now, she could go home with him openly – meet his family, his people

– meet his family, his people – and let their relationship bask in the sunlight.

By the time the car rejoined the highway, the sky was already tinged with pale gray.

Tessa turned on the music and gazed at the mist drifting past the window. For the first time, it felt like sunlight really could reach every shadowy corner of her past.

When she returned to Wisteria Apartment, Landon was sitting on the couch in the living room, phone in hand, eyes bloodshot – clearly, he hadn’t slept all night.

The moment he heard the door open, his head snapped up like a startled beast. In an instant, he crossed the room and grabbed her wrist. “You’re back? Are you okay?”

Tessa saw the worry in his eyes, and warmth filled her chest. She turned her hand and held his tightly. “I’m fine. There’s something I need to tell you.”

She led him to the couch and held up her ring finger for him to see.

–

Now, she could finally tell him the truth about the silver ring and the blood bond without holding anything back.

Landon’s pupils contracted sharply. His fingertips brushed her ring finger – smooth to the touch, no longer blocked by that cold band of metal.

So that’s what it was… He finally understood why she had never taken that silver ring off in the last five years why she always flinched when he touched it by accident…

“I’m sorry I lied to you,” she said softly. “I asked for the Wolf Codex and the Moonstone because I needed

I burned it.” them to break the blood bond. But it worked. It’s done. The ring’s gone

Landon pulled her into his arms with such force it was as if he wanted to fuse her into his bones. His voice was hoarse and shaking. “Idiot… how could I ever blame you?”

He lowered his head, his scorching breath warming the crown of hers. “If anyone should apologize, it’s me. I should’ve noticed something was wrong. I should’ve been there for you sooner.”

His fingers traced the faint pale mark on her ring finger, their warmth making her tremble. “All these years.. did it hurt that much?”

He didn’t even want to imagine the agony she endured under every full moon – how she gritted her teeth and survived it alone. Or how many silent wounds she’d hidden, dealing with it all by herself.

Back when he sensed she was hiding something, he should’ve pressed for answers. Instead, he stepped back again and again in the name of respect, letting her carry it alone.

The woman in his arms shook her head and buried her face in his chest. “It’s all in the past

now.”

“No, it’s not,” Landon cut her off, his voice resolute. “But you don’t have to face it alone anymore.”

His voice trembled. Even his fingers shook. “So that’s why you didn’t want to meet my family before… because of this?”

The thought of all the times she hesitated at the mention of meeting his parents made his heart clench like it was being squeezed.
