“Tessie, look out!” Ysabel’s pupils shrank in shock. She hadn’t awakened her wolf yet–there was no way she could react in time.

Without even turning around, Tessa reached back and seized Winona’s wrist. A flicker of silver flashed in her ice–blue eyes.

It was the glow unique to high–rank werewolves, pulsing with overwhelming power.

“Winona, are you trying to die?”

In an instant, Winona froze, completely immobilized.

She was stunned. She had just unleashed every ounce of her wolf power, all to destroy Tessa’s face once and for all.

So why–why had she been subdued so easily?

She had no time to think. A second later, her transformed wolf claws were slammed straight into the boiling hot soup.

The clam chowder had just come off the stove. The temperature was scalding.

Steam hissed as flesh met the surface–followed by the sizzle of burning skin.

“Ah-!” Winona’s scream, laced with a werewolf’s signature high–frequency shriek, shattered several nearby glasses.

Fangs bared in agony, she tried to pull her hand from the soup–but she couldn’t budge an inch under Tessa’s grip.

Searing pain tore through her palm. Tears welled up uncontrollably.

Tessa stared coldly at her sister’s howling, twisted expression. “I already gave you a chance, Winona. Did you really think I wouldn’t put you in your place?”

Everyone in the shop–students and staff alike–stood frozen, tense and wide–eyed.

At that moment, Tessa looked just like one of the ancient war wolves from werewolf legend: terrifying. unchallenged.

That bloodthirsty chill radiating from her seemed almost tangible, like it was pressing down on the air itself, paralyzing the instincts of everyone around her.

Even Ysabel was shaken.

Though she hadn’t awakened her wolf, she still trembled under the sheer pressure of Tessa’s aura. Her body reacted inactively, quivering ever so slightly.

That deep, bone–level dread–she’d only ever felt it once before, in the presence of Uncle Landon, a high- level alpha. And now… she was feeling it from Tessa.

After a long moment, Ysabel finally came to her senses. Tessie, let her go!”

If this kept up, Winona’s hand would be ruined.

And with so many people coming and going near the school, it wouldn’t look good.

In the shop, Winona’s pig–like screams pierced the air.

No one dared speak–except Ysabel.

Only after hearing her voice did Tessa release Winona’s wrist.

By then, Winona’s wolf–shaped hand had already been boiled to the point where fur and skin peeled off in patches. The acrid scent of burnt hair filled the air.
