Fell for the Alpha-less Queen novel Chapter 605

Chapter 605 The Price of Obsession

“Nathan, if you touch a single hair on her head, I’ll tear your entire Frost Pack apart.

“Oh, don’t be so fierce,” he replied lightly, as if amused. “I just wanted to see you. After all… I’ve prepared a rather special gift.”

The call ended with a soft click.

Tessa’s fist clenched at her side, knuckles white. Samuel watched her with concern. “What now? Should we call Landon?”

“Not yet.” Tessa shook her head. Landon was in the middle of the Elders‘ Council–he couldn’t afford distraction. “I’m calling someone else.”

She dialed a secured line. The voice on the other end was aged and cautious.

“Tessa?”

“Nathan took my friend,” she said bluntly. “I know you want him to get help. We can make a deal.”

There was a pause on the other end. Jeremy was clearly weighing his options.

“What kind of deal?”

“You release Lina, and I’ll ensure Nathan sees the psychiatrist you’ve chosen.” Tessa’s voice was calm but firm. “You know as well as I do–if this keeps going, he’ll destroy the Song family. You can’t afford that.”

She understood Nathan’s obsession. His mind had fractured the day his former Luna died. Since then, he’d spiraled into a darkness that no one had dared pull him from.

A long sigh came through the line. “Fine. I agree. But you must swear–you won’t harm him.”

“As long as he stops acting like a lunatic, I have no interest in killing him.”

As she said the words, her fingers tapped the edge of the table, cold light still flickering in her eyes.

Samuel, standing silently nearby, understood the truth behind her composed tone. It was a temporary lie- a move to pacify Jeremy.

When she ended the call, he asked in a low voice, “You really plan to spare Nathan?”

“I’ll spare him,” Tessa said with a mirthless smile, her eyes sliding over the Frost Pack’s power structure map on her screen, “but I never said I’d spare the Frost Pack.”

She only agreed not to kill Nathan to secure Lina’s release.

Nathan and Jeremy were two of a kind–one who threatened the Thorne family and used her and Landon as pawns, and one who once sent assassins to take her life. From the start, she had never intended to let either of them walk away unscathed.

Two hours later, Lina was dropped off at the doorstep of the medical organization’s division.

When she saw Tessa, her jaw tightened. “Nathan said even if he let me go, he’d still find a way to keep you in Yalvaria.”

“He won’t get the chance. Tessa caught her as she stumbled, her voice calm but filled with unshakable resolve. “Get some rest. What comes next… we plan carefully.

That night. Landon called.

The video feed showed his face drawn with fatigue from the council meeting, but the moment he saw her his expression softened. “Lina–she’s alright?”

“I just got her back,” Tessa said, propping the phone up to show Lina on the couch, sipping porridge. “I struck a deal with Jeremy. He let her go, I promised to get Nathan into therapy.

Landon’s brows lifted, instantly catching her meaning. “Nathaniel already sent you the Frost Pack infrastructure files?”

“Mmhmm,” she said, pulling them up again. Her fingers tapped the screen, stopping at a key node. “Their energy mines are tied closely to the council’s interests. If we sever that connection-”

“Leave the rest to me.” Landon’s voice dropped, laced with steel. The aura of the obsidian crystal darkwolf rolled through the screen. “The council has passed the motion. We’re cleared to initiate a purge. As soon as I wrap up here, I’m flying to Yalvaria.”
