Chapter 323 The Alpha Awakens
Outside the Sinclair Corp boardroom, Yardley stood waiting–still hoping to bend Tessa with his threats.
“Tessa,” he sneered, “your grandfather loves you so much. You wouldn’t just leave him to die, would you? Just give up this one chance, and I swear he’ll come back unharmed.”
But all he got in return was a cold, lethal stare.
Tessa’s glacier–blue eyes glinted with a dangerous silver sheen. Her nails dug so deep into her palms that blood welled up, dripping silently to the floor. She clenched her fists, fighting the rising surge of White Wolf power–resisting the near–feral urge to tear him apart where he stood.
“You really have the nerve to say that?” she snapped, voice like a blade. “Grandpa gave you everything. trusted you. And you–the son he raised–kidnapped him like a criminal? When this gets out, the entire Sinclair family will be a joke. You’ll drag Frostmoon Pack’s name into the dirt with you.”
Yardley let out a hollow, manic laugh before snarling, “Trusted me? If he really trusted me. he wouldn’t have spent years trying to push me out of Sinclair Corp! You think I wanted to do this? You all forced me into a corner!”
“Yardley, you disgust me.” Tessa stepped forward, her aura exploding outward like claws shredding the very air. “If you dare hurt him, I swear, I’ll drag you into the Werewolf Correctional Court myself!”
The pressure she unleashed was unmistakable—raw, suffocating, and purely White Wolf.
Yardley staggered backward, stunned once again by the power rolling off her.
No–it couldn’t be. She was wolfless. She’d been declared wolfless.
He tried to convince himself the pressure was an illusion, a bluff, a trick–anything but the truth.
But it felt real.
Too real.
And then Tessa spoke, voice cold as death.
“You want to guilt me into giving up Sinclair Corp? You dare use Grandpa as leverage and then accuse me of being a heartless traitor?”
Yardley was losing control. The once–confident alpha was now foaming with rage, his wolf aura surging and collapsing on itself like molten lava.
Just then, Donald appeared.
“The vote’s in. Let’s go.”
He noticed Tessa’s pale, rigid expression and frowned. “You okay? Are you hurt?”
“I’m fine,” she said, voice tight.

She trusted Landon to handle things. There was no reason to drag anyone else into it–yet.

“Tessa,” Donald said earnestly, “I want to be your ally. If there’s anything you need, just tell me. Anything.”
She gave a polite nod. “Thanks. But I’m fine.”
“I mean it. I want to fight beside you, not against you.”
“I understand.”
Together, they began walking toward the boardroom, ignoring Yardley entirely.
That broke him.
He lunged forward, grabbing Tessa’s arm in desperation.
“You can’t just ignore me! What about the old man-!”
It was the last mistake he would ever make.
The moment he touched her, a blinding pulse of silver–white light exploded around Tessa. Her wolf surged free–no longer restrained.
She turned in one fluid motion and slammed her hand around Yardley’s throat, her fingers like iron shackles.
