Fell for the Alpha-less Queen 578
Chapter 578 Web of Fire
“You’re only eighteen, and you’ve already endured storms most people won’t face in a lifetime, Michael said sincerely. “Everything you’ve experienced… it’s more than enough to earn your name a place in medical history.”
Such talent at such a young age–it was hard not to be moved by the promise of her future.
“I’m not interested in that,” Tessa replied softly. Fame meant nothing to her.
Michael exhaled, his voice shifting. “Tessa, I know how capable you are. But some things… some things are beyond human control.”
He thought of Walter’s condition. His tone grew heavier. “Life and death are part of our nature. You should start preparing yourself.”
Tessa took another sip of water.
“When all of this is over,” she said quietly, “can you check on my grandfather? There’s something wrong with him.”
She was studying medicine–of course she could tell. But Walter had gone to great lengths to hide it from her, so she’d pretended not to know.
The moment she mentioned Walter, Michael’s hand hesitated.
If she knew Walter was already on the brink… would she still be able to continue working? Her involvement in the research was critical. So Michael decided–he wouldn’t say a word.
“What’s wrong?” Tessa asked, always sharp. She hadn’t missed the flicker in his expression.
“You saw my grandfather, didn’t you? Is he okay?” Her eyes narrowed in suspicion.
Michael shook his head. “Of course not. I came straight here after landing. Haven’t even had the chance to check on him.”
“Really?”
Michael had seen enough in his lifetime to recover quickly. After a brief pause, his expression smoothed
over.
“Really. Why would I lie? His last surgery was a success. You know that better than anyone.”
“Okay. Got it. I’ll get back to work then,”
There were still countless people depending on their results. She didn’t have the luxury of chasing shadows right now.
At the same time, in Yalvaria, Landon and his team had just uncovered the mastermind behind the v none other than the Speaker of the Yalvaria Council–Stephen.
The air in the room turned glacial.
“He dared to strike at Montedra’s very foundation,” Landon said, tapping the map in front of them with his

fingertip. The pressure of an Alpha King radiated from every word. “Tomorrow’s the Council election, n going to make sure he doesn’t even make the candidate list.”
Nathaniel’s voice dropped. “Stephen’s built his power over years. His roots in Yalvaría run deep. Charging in head–on could alert him.”
“No need for brute force.” Hudson pulled up a document. “I found proof that he diverted military funds to support rebel factions.”
Cameron added, “I can get that evidence into the hands of the opposition anonymously. If a scandal breaks the night before the election, he’ll be finished.”
The four men shared a glance–and in that moment, everything was decided.
These four cornerstones of Montedra’s power, united in purpose, could tear apart even the most intricate schemes.
Inside Stephen’s mansion, firelight flickered across his angular, sinister face.
A secretary stepped in with a report. “Tomorrow’s election schedule is finalized. You’re ahead by three percentage points.”
“And Montedra?” Stephen swirled his wine, lips curling into a smug smile. “The virus–has it started working yet?”
“It’s out of control. People are panicking, fleeing. The Werewolf Council is barely holding things together.” The secretary hesitated. “Landon is in Yalvaria. Should we-”
“Landon?” Stephen’s gaze darkened as he traced the rim of his glass. “The Alpha King of Montedra dares to come crawling into my yard?”
He slammed the glass down.
“Contact Nathan. Tell him I’ll take care of Landøn. In exchange, Frost Pack backs my election bid.”
The secretary blinked. “But… Nathan just escaped the underground vault. He reportedly hates Landon with everything he has.” noveldrama
“Then let that hate burn hotter.” Stephen’s voice dripped venom. “I want Landon dead in Yalvaria. I want Montedra leaderless. I want Montedra–sealed in my fist.”
The fire crackled in the hearth, reflecting his madness and ambition.
But outside, in the shadows beyond his grand windows, a net was already weaving itself shut around him- silent, certain, and deadly.
