He is the first child born to generation two heir, Lord Landon Smallwood of Wolfsbane Manor and Jessica Adkins. His parents were just casual when he was conceived, his father was responsible for finding a suitable wife to produce an heir to the Smallwood legacy. He’d been burned by women in the past and when he met Jessica, she was so sweet and kind he fell for her instantly. Deep down they were madly in love, soulmates even, pushed together by Landon’s mother and predecessor Trixie Vatore. When Jess announced she was pregnant, a happy little accident, Landon moved her into the Manor immediately and vowed to raise the child with her, his heir! Love was instant for Jess, it took a little longer for Landy to realise she was the one.

When he was born, I named him Chester after Chester Bennington. I think he is a worthy candidate of such a name. All through his life, Chester has been an exemplary son and brother, his younger siblings adore him and he’s always managed to steer little brother Jude in the right direction even though he may take a few detours on different paths, he gets there in the end thanks to Chessy!

it’s me!
