Walter pretended not to hear her and turned to the butler, changing the subject. “Louis, Landie’s a good kid, don’t you think?”

The butler nodded wordlessly.

It wasn’t surprising that Walter didn’t want to stay in the hospital for too long.

“Tessie, the shareholders‘ meeting is in a few days. Are you confident?” Walter hadn’t slept all night, waiting up just for this.

As long as the matter wasn’t settled, he couldn’t rest easy.

Sinclair Corp wasn’t just a family business he built from the ground up–it was the economic backbone of the Frostmoon Pack, a symbol of their territory.

In werewolf society, losing your territory was no different from losing your pride. He would never allow Sinclair Corp’s legacy to be trampled by another pack.

Tessa knew that. Her wolf, Emma, was howling within her, vowing to protect what they had inherited.

“Grandpa, do you not believe in me? If you’ve already handed Sinclair Corp over to me, then step back. I won’t let you down.”

So this was why he’d left the hospital early?

“Mm.” Walter didn’t say anything more.

“Alright, it’s really late now. Go to bed. If you don’t, I’m not handling the company anymore.”

“You-! I know you won’t walk away from it.” Even as he said it, Walter turned in and headed upstairs.

Tessa stayed with him until he was tucked in and had a blanket pulled over him. Only then did she quietly leave his room.

Louis followed her out.

“Ms. Sinclair, it’s getting late. You should get some rest.”

“I will. You’ve been working hard lately. You should rest too, Louis.”

Tessa returned to her room.

She hadn’t stayed in this room in years, but everything was spotless and exactly where she left it.

Walter must’ve told the staff to keep it clean. The rest of the Sinclair family probably wished she’d never

come back.

As soon as she stepped inside, her phone rang.

It was a video call from Landon.

“I miss you,” he said before she could hang up.

She didn’t know how to respond. They hadn’t even been apart that long.

But hearing those words still made her heart race.

She gave him a sideways glance.

What was up with this man? He kept flirting with her lately. And now this? It hadn’t even been two hours since they separated!

“Mr. Thorne, it’s late. I’m going to sleep.” With that, Tessa ended the call.

Back at his place, Landon let out a laugh from the couch.

How could Tessa be this adorable? She was clearly flustered.

All he’d said was “I miss you“! That was it!

And yet, lying in bed, Tessa spent a long moment trying to calm herself before patting her cheeks and muttering, What’s wrong with me? He didn’t even say anything that bold. Why is my heart racing and my face so hot? She lay in bed, but all she could think about was Landon’s unfairly handsome face.

Ever since Tessa returned to the Sinclair estate, Winona hadn’t slept.

Staring at her ruined right hand, all she could think about was revenge.

After seeing Tessa enter her room, Winona waited patiently. Once she was certain everyone had gone to sleep, she pulled out a dagger and silently made her way to Tessa’s door.

She did fear Tessa.

But she refused to accept it.

Tessa had destroyed everything. There was no way she could just let it go.

No matter what, Tessa had to pay.

Standing at the door, Winona formed a pair of wolf ears and listened carefully.

When she heard the steady rhythm of Tessa’s breathing, she judged that she was asleep and slipp

side.
