Fell for the Alpha-less Queen 552
Chapter 552 The Chains That Remain
18 Pears.
“Beneath me?” He stepped forward, the hem of his coat sweeping across the ground. “I’d give up my life for you–what does it matter if I lose a little pride?” He stared into her eyes, enunciating each word. “I came here to take you with me. You’re the one I chose. The Bloodbond may be gone, but that doesn’t change anything.”
“Do you not understand human language?” Tessa took half a step back to create distance. “I’m not going with you. I never would. Not in the past, and definitely not now.” She glanced around.
The campus was busy with students coming and going. If they started a fight here, the consequences would be disastrous.
She didn’t want to destroy the peace she’d worked so hard to achieve.
“Leave Navoris now–while I’m still holding back.”
Nathan let out a low laugh, like he’d just heard something ridiculous. But his eyes were ice cold, devoid of any humor. “This ‘restraint‘ of yours–is it because you don’t want your quiet life disrupted? Or are you afraid of alerting Landon? Worried I might hurt him?”
He stepped closer, his tone taunting. “You think I don’t know? You and Landon are fated mates. He’s already paving the way for you in Nightshade Pack, preparing to make you his Luna. But so what? As long as you’re alive, I’m not letting go–your restraint doesn’t matter to me.”
Tessa’s patience finally snapped. A faint wave of wolf energy rippled off her, though she kept it suppressed and didn’t shift. “Nathan, don’t push me. This is Navoris–Landon’s territory. If I kill you, the already weakened Frost Pack will fall into chaos again. Yalvaria’s wolves will go to war with Nightshade Pack. Neither of us can afford that.”
Without the Bloodbond, killing Nathan wouldn’t cause her any backlash–but he was still the alpha of Frost Pack, a central figure in the Yalvaria wolves. If she made a move, it would trigger a chain reaction she couldn’t ignore.
“You’re hesitating?” Nathan caught the trace of uncertainty in her words, and a sudden thrill lit up his voice. “You do care. You still care about me… about Frost Pack…”
“Don’t flatter yourself. I care about avoiding war.” Tessa cut him off, her tone sharp and cold. “But if you keep hounding me, I won’t hold back.”
The excitement drained from Nathan’s face, replaced by madness. “No matter what you say, I’m taking you -with me today!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Nathan unleashed his wolf power and lunged at her like lightning.
Tessa had been ready. She dodged to the side and slammed her elbow hard into his ribs.
He grunted, reaching to grab her wrist, but she twisted with the momentum and threw him off.
“Don’t make me fight you here.” Tessa’s voice was edged with warning. Her eyes flicked toward a g
of students walking by in the distance. “You want the whole world to see that the alpha of Frost Pack is a lunatic who can’t get over his ex?”
Nathan froze.
He stared at the cold side of her face, at the disgust in her eyes–so raw and unfiltered–and it was like the

Nathan stood where she left him, watching her figure disappear around the corner of the academie building. His coat fluttered in the wind like the broken wings of a black bird.
Slowly, he raised a hand to his chest–right where the burning pain from the Bloorbond’s rupture still seemed to linger.
No. He wasn’t leaving.
Even if she was now Landon’s fated mate, he would take her back.
The Bloodbond was gone? Then he’d use chains. If those broke, he’d use his life.
One way or another, she would be his.
