Love the Wolfless Power Girl at First Sight

Chapter 562 Proof Through Presence

When Landon returned to the apartment near the university, Tessa was typing away at her computer, working on a paper. The takeout container on the desk sat empty-it looked like she hadn’t eaten properly

She glanced up when she heard the door open, her expression calm as if nothing had happened that day. “You’re back? Have you eaten?”

Landon sat down beside her, eyes sweeping over the open stack of academic articles-each page filled with dense notes in her meticulous handwriting. “You’re only a freshman. Do you really need to push yourself this hard?” He closed the laptop gently, his fingers brushing her cool hand.

Tessa smiled and snatched the mouse back, her fingers flying over the keyboard. “Of course I do. The sooner I graduate, the sooner I can…” She paused, her cars turning red. “The sooner I can stand openly by your side.”

Her strength was more than enough to walk beside him-what she lacked was the title. The right to stand beside him, openly, with the full recognition of Nightshade Pack.

Landon pulled her into his arms, holding her close. “No rush.” He nuzzled the top of her head, his voice soft. “Take your time with school. No need to hurry the bond either. Don’t wear yourself out-I’ll worry.”

As long as she was by his side, what did a title matter-today or tomorrow?

“I’m kidding. I’m really not tired,” she said, turning to look at him. Her eyes sparkled. “Honestly, I really like my life right now. It feels grounded. Fulfilling.”

“Mhm.” Landon nodded, but he still reached over and gently pinched her earlobe. “As long as you’re sure the person beside you is me, I’ll wait however long it takes.”

“I’m sure,” Tessa said, slapping his hand away. Her tone was firm. “This isn’t some cliché melodrama. I’m not * leaving you over a bunch of random nonsense.”

When you love someone, you stay planted at their side. No one knew that better than she did.

Landon was quiet for a moment. Then, suddenly, he cupped her face, his thumb brushing along her jaw. “My father came to see you, didn’t he?”

Tessa blinked, then smiled. “Yeah. We talked a bit. But it wasn’t anything I couldn’t handle.”

She’d already accepted the truth-she wasn’t a coin. Not everyone was going to like her.

“What did he say to you?” Landon’s tone dipped slightly, an edge of guilt in his eyes. “He gave you a hard time, didn’t he?”

“Not really.” Tessa held his wrist, speaking seriously. “Don’t argue with him for my sake. I don’t want that. Besides…”

She paused, and something sharper lit up in her eyes. “I’ll prove it-prove that I’m the only one who can stand beside you. Whether it’s defending Nightshade Pack or building new ground side by side, I’ll be he one who matches you, supports you, and fights shoulder to shoulder with you.”

Landon’s chest burned with warmth. He leaned down and kissed her forehead. “You never have to prove anything to anyone. To me, you’ve always been the one who belongs at my side.”

“I know.” Tessa smiled, her eyes crinkling. “But I want to make things easier for you. If he never comes

around, it’s you stuck in the middle.”

“If I get to be with you, there’s nothing hard about it.” Landon pulled her fully into his arms, resting his chin on her head. “What other people think doesn’t matter. What matters is us-being okay. That’s everything noveldrama

“Tsk, tsk. Who knew our Mr. Landon was this easy to please?” Tessa teased, nestling into his chest.

“Easy?” Landon tightened his arms around her, voice tinged with quiet emotion. “Not at all, Out of all the people in the world, I met you-and you turned out to be my fated mate. Do you know how small that chance is?”

If fate hadn’t intervened, he’d probably still be alone, burdened by the weight of leadership-never knowing what it felt like to be cherished, to be chosen.

Hearing the low rumble of his voice, something in Tessa stirred.

She turned, standing on tiptoe to press a gentle kiss to his lips. “Landon, thank you… for always choosing me.”

No questions. No conditions. Just pure, unshakable loyalty.

Landon slid a hand to the back of her neck, deepening the kiss until they both broke away, breathless.

He rested his forehead against hers, his gaze impossibly tender. “Why are you thanking me? Loving you- caring for you-has always been what I wanted.”

“Mhm.” Tessa curled into his chest, listening to the strong rhythm of his heartbeat. Suddenly, everything felt simple.

All those tests and judgments from the world… they were just stepping stones.

She had never been afraid of proving herself. She only cared because it was him. And for him, she was willing to face them all-one by one.
