Chapter 596 A Bond for Life

At last, the day of the bonding ceremony arrived.

Early that morning, Tessa returned to the Sinclair family estate.

While wolf bonding rituals weren’t as elaborate as human weddings–there was no formal custom–they did hold firm to traditions. She wanted her grandfather to see this with his own eyes, as if he had never truly left her.

The Sinclair estate had been thoroughly cleaned, inside and out, by Yardley.

He hovered anxiously over the servants, sweat beading at his temples. When he saw Tessa walk in, his voice was laced with nervous anticipation. “Tessa, take a look. Is there anything out of place? The Thorne family will be here soon–we can’t afford to show any disrespect.”

Ever since he learned that Tessa and Landon were bonding, Yardley had cast aside every trace of discontent he once held toward her. Now, all he wanted was to win her favor again–and with it, a connection to the Nightshade Pack’s powerful Thorne family.

Tessa didn’t even glance at him. She walked straight to the ceremonial hall and stopped in front of the urn at the center.

Lila clammed up, sulking as her fingers twisted at her hem. There was no place for her in this house anymore. Even Winona had vanished–on a day like this, it felt like she was the only “outsider” left.

Not long after, Samuel and Michael arrived bearing gifts.

Wolf bonding required the presence of trusted friends as witnesses. They carried beautifully wrapped boxes -inside was a rare thousand–year snow lotus and a set of surgical tools engraved with wolf clan runes, priceless blessings for a healer.

“Need a hand with anything?” Samuel asked, scratching his head. He had no idea how these ceremonies worked.

“No,” Tessa replied, shaking her head as her gaze drifted toward the empty space beside the urn. “Just star and watch.”

At precisely eleven o’clock, the sound of synchronized engines echoed in the distance.

Twelve black luxury cars pulled up in a perfect line in front of the Sinclair estate. The matching license

plates gleamed under the sun–Landon’s doing. According to wolf tradition, the groom had to show tribal sincerity” on the day of bonding. In modern times, a grand motorcade stood in for the ancient tribal procession.

Neighbors gathered behind the fence, whispering in amazement. “What kind of big shot is the Sinclair family tied to now?”

“Didn’t you see who got out of that last car? That’s the alpha of the Nightshade Pack! I heard he’s bonding with the Sinclair family’s eldest daughter today!”
