“Mr. Walter. I’ve never named down a request from you but this time, I really can’t help. Mr. Lamber sud hesitantly. “You know Navoris High is one of the ut elite schools, with students aiming for ly League universities. With grades like these, it’s just too difficult. I suggest you try vor ational schools or other regular high schools, but I doubt even they will take her
Tessa had never wanted her grandfather to beg for her. She stood up and walked out without a word.
Knowing her pride, Mr. Walter quickly followed.
But before they reached the door, Mr. Lambert received a phone call from Nathaniel.
“Mr. Walter, please wait,” Mr. Lambert called after them once the call ended.
I accept Tessa into Navoris High,” he said, his tone suddenly changed.
Even someone as seasoned as Walter was surprised by the principal’s abrupt shift in attitude. What happened!
“Mr. Lambert, did I hear you correctly?” Walter asked, lus voice cautious
“You did. Mr. Walter. I’ll arrange for Tessa to join a class right away,” Mr. Lambert assured him. He immediately called the academic director to handle Tea’s enrollment
Tessa didn’t refuse, but she knew there had to be more to this sudden reversal.
The academic director placed Tessa in the school’s lowest–ranking class, gave her a uniform, and introduced her to the twelfth–grade Class 8 homeroom teacher.
“Mr. Hamilton, please take care of Tessa,” the director said politely.
“Of course, sir. You can leave her to me,” Mr. Hamilton replied with a practiced smile. At a prestigious school like Navors High, the parents of students were often powerful figures–teachers knew better than to offend them
The third period was Mr. Hamilton’s class. He broughtlessa to the twelfth–grade Class & classroom.
“Everyone, we have a new student joining us today,” Mr. Hamilton announced. “Please give her a warm welcome.”

Chapter 8 The Return of the White Wolf: Tessa’s Reckoning
Tessa walked to the blackboard and, with bold, fluid strokes, wrote her name: Tessa Sinclair
“Hello, everyone. I’m Tessa,” she said simply.
The murmurs started immediately.
“Isn’t she the Tessa who got expelled five years ago?”
“Yeah. I think so! She used to be in my class,”
“Didn’t she elope with a Rogue at twelve? And wasn’t there something about an abortion?”
“It’s true! I heard-

“Alright, settle down!” Mr. Hamilton’s voice cut through the chatter. “Tessa, there’s an empty seat in the
back. Please take it.”
Tessa walked to the last row, ignoring the disdainful stares from her classmates.
Class 8 was a general track class, home to students from influential families who couldn’t make it into the school’s honors track. These students weren’t afraid of causing trouble.
After the third period ended, Queenie Locke, one of Winona’s lackeys, approached Tessa.
“Tessa! It really is you! I can’t believe you had the audacity to come back to Navoris. If I were you…” Queenie sneered.
Queenie had been Winona’s sidekick back in the day, often helping her torment Tessa.
“Queenie, shut your filthy mouth,” Tessa snapped, her tone sharp. She was still sleep–deprived from. tossing and turning in an unfamiliar bed the previous night, and now she had a pounding headache.
“Who do you think you are, talking to me like that?” Queenie sneered, undeterred. “You’re just a useless nobody without a wolf. I could crush you with one hand!” She grabbed Tessa’s wrist, assuming she was still the meek, defenseless girl from five years ago.
