Fell for the Alpha-less Queen 547
Chapter 547 The Ultimatum
Meanwhile, Landon returned to the main estate of the Nightshade Pack.
Inside the council chamber, Darren sat silently, staring at an old scroll of clan laws. When he heard footsteps, he didn’t even look up. “You finally decided to come back?”
Landon walked straight up to him and got to the point. “Next Saturday, I’m bringing my fated mate to meet you.”
Darren finally raised his eyes, wolf irises sharp and appraising. “Fated mate? Since when do you have a fated mate? You’re not trying to pull a fast one, are you?”
Landon let out a soft laugh. “I’ve gone all these years without a partner. If I wanted to fool you, I would’ve done it long ago. Let me be clear my wolf only responds to her. My blood only reacts to her. She’s the one. My future mate, and the future Luna of the Nightshade Pack” noveldrama
Darren set the scroll down, his fingers tapping the table. “Where’s she from? Which pack? What can she do?
“Frostmoon Pack. Her name’s Tessa.” Landon didn’t mention–her white wolf bloodline, worried it would raise red flags. “She’s strong–runs several companies on her own. Sharp mind, sharp instincts. She’s every bit the equal of any Alpha.”
Darren arched a brow. “Frostmoon Pack? That fading little clan?”
“Dad.” Landon’s tone cooled. “Their pack doesn’t matter. What matters is her. She’s worthy of me- and of being Luna of the Nightshade Pack.”
“You’re bold,” Darren said, rising to his feet and looking down at him. “The Luna of this pack must be approved by the Council of Elders. It’s not up to you alone.”
“I’ll handle the council.” Landon didn’t flinch. “I didn’t come here to ask permission. I came to inform you. Next Saturday at noon, I’m bringing her. If you accept her, great – everyone’s happy. If you don’t…”
He paused, eyes turning cold and resolute, like the tundra in winter. “Then I’ll walk away with her. I’ll give up my claim to the Nightshade Pack inheritance – all of it.”
“You dare?” Darren’s dominance burst out instantly, making the flames in the chamber’s candles flicker violently. “You’d destroy the Nightshade Pack’s legacy over some unknown female wolf?”
“She’s not some unknown. She’s my fated mate.” Landon met his father’s pressure head–on, his words clipped and firm. “The Nightshade Pack can survive without me. But I can’t survive without her.”
At that moment, Landon’s sister, Rebecca, walked in with a tray of tea – and right into the tension between father and son. She rushed to break it up. “Dad, Landon, come on. Can’t we talk about this calmly? Landon, couldn’t you try discussing this without starting a war?”
“Dad, don’t be angry,” Rebecca said, pushing a teacup toward Darren. “Landon’s wolf is an ancient obsidian shadow wolf. If the Moon Goddess gave him a fated mate, how could she be weak? And come on- Landon’s standards, do you really think he’d fall for someone ordinary?”

She smiled playfully. “You’ll meet her next Saturday. Who knows – you might like her even more than he does.”
Darren snorted but didn’t respond. Still, he didn’t outright refuse.
Landon took that as a silent agreement and gave a small nod. “Then I’ll bring her at noon next Saturday
With that, he turned and walked out, his back straight like a pine tree that would never bend.
Rebecca watched him go and sighed. “Dad, look at that stubborn streak. But honestly, I’ve met Tessa. She’s great. Can’t you go easy on her, just for Landon’s sake?”
Among the Thorne family, Rebecca had always been closest to Landon.
That’s why, when Landon and Tessa realized they were fated mates, Rebecca was the first person he told
With Tessa’s permission, Landon had arranged for them to meet – and from the moment Rebecca met her, she’d taken a liking to her. The girl had not only a kind heart, but had even cured her years–long insomnia on the spot.
Darren took a sip of tea, his expression unreadable. “We’ll see when the time comes.”
He was curious now. Just what kind of woman could make Landon willing to give up everything?
What do you think?
