Chapter 599 A Message in Blood

    bYsabel /bbwas /bpletely shaken.

    bThe /bdriver had worked for the Thorne family for over a decade, his driving steady as stone. How bcould /bthere have been a crash?

    She stood frozen, fingers ice–cold, until Nathaniel draped his coat over her shoulders. Only then did she jolt back to reality.

    “Don’t be scared. We’re heading there now,” Nathaniel said, steady as a rock, holding her arm with reassuring calm.

    Tessa grabbed Landon’s coat and quickly followed. By the time she climbed in, Landon had already swung the car around, engine roaring as they tore into the fog–drenched road.

    She clenched her fists, repeating one thing over and over in her mind–Reba and Reginald had to be okay.

    Headlights pierced the thick mist at the crash site. The flipped car was still spewing white smoke. Landon leapt from the vehicle, his alpha strength carrying him to the wreck in seconds. With bare hands, he wrenched open the crumpled door.

    Tessa was right behind him. The white wolf’s instincts helped her dodge shattered ss with ease as she reached in to help the trapped Reba.

    “Reba, can you move?”

    “I’m fine… Help Dad first!” Blood streamed down Reba’s forehead, but she still shielded Reginald with her body.

    With the others‘ help, they managed to pull the two of them free. Reginald’s left arm was bent at an unnatural angle, his breathing unsteady. As a former alpha, his healing ability should have surpassed most- but his age and the umtion of old wounds had left him pale and barely conscious.

    Reba had abrasions on her forehead and back. Thanks to the wolf’s elerated healing, scabs had already begun ito /iform. The injuries looked worse than they were.

    The ambnce howled away into the night. Landon climbed in after them, while Tessa and the others followed by car to the hospital.

    Under the harsh white lights of the ER corridor, Tessa held Landon’s icy hand. She felt the tremors he couldn’t hide. Even an alpha who faced armies without flinching was vulnerable now.

    “They’ll be okay,” she whispered, letting the white wolf’s aura flow through him, gently soothing the storm of emotion beneath his surface.

    Landon squeezed her hand back. “Yeah.”

    When the doctor emerged, his expression was calm. “Mr. Reginald has a fractured left arm. The old wounds make it moreplicated, so he’ll need time to rest. Ms. Reba only has superficial injuries–she’ll heal

    on her own.”

    Inside the hospital room, Reginald leaned against the headboard, pale but sharp–eyed as ever.

    When Ysabel rushed in with tears in her eyes, he patted the edge of the bed. “What’re you crying for? I’m

    tougher than I look. This scratch is nothingb./bb” /b

    Ysabel nodded, snilling, as Nathaniel gently led her out.

    Tessa stayed behind in the hallway. Just as she turned to step away, her phone buzzed. A strange number bshed /bacross the screen.

    “Tessa, it’s me.”

    Nathan’s voice came through the speaker,ced with a mocking smile.

    Tessa’s chest tightened. “What do you want?”

    “Got my gift?” he said lightly. “Big day like your bonding–you didn’t invite me. So I had to send something myself.”

    “You caused the crash?” Her voice dropped to a deadly chill. The white wolf’s killing intent poured from her body, dimming the hallway lights with its presence.

    “Just a little lesson,” Nathan replied, his voice twisting with fanatical obsession. “You went and bonded with Landon after everything? I told you–you’re mine.”

    “Nathan, you’re insane!” Tessa’s hand clenched around the phone, knuckles white. “If anything had happened to them, I swear I’d drag you to hell myself!”

    “To hell?” Nathan chuckled darkly. “As long as it means I get to keep you by my side, who cares?”

    Then his voice turned cold, venom dripping from every word. “Here’s a warning–cancel the mating. Or next time, it won’t just be a broken arm. Tell me, Tessa… how many more ‘idents‘ can someone Reginald’s age survive?b” /b

    “You bastard!”

    “Go ahead. Let’s see if you think I’m bluffing.” His voice held unshakable certainty, like he had already won. Tessa ended the call with a sharp snap, the cold/fury in her aura freezing the air around her.

    Without hesitation, she dialed Lina.

    Her voice trembled with suppressed rage. “Track Nathan down. Now.”

    This time, she was going to kill him.
