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 cback?"
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 | wanted to fool you, | would've done it
long ago. Letbe 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"
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

"I'll handle the council." Landon didn't flinch. "I didn't chere to ask permission. | cto 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 sunknown female wolf?"
"She's not sunknown. 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 | 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, con. 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 con- 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.

He was curious now. Just what kind of woman could make Landon willing to give up everything?
