Chapter 5 Forsaken Bonds: The Sinir Legacy


    They had made their decision five years ago,


    They chose to believe Winona Sinir''s lies, to trust her usations, and to abandon Tessa.


    If that was their choice, then Tessa had nothing to do with them anymore.

    "Tessa, how dare you say such things? Do you have any den how disgraceful your actions were? You''ve humiliated the entire Sinir family and the Frostmoon Pack in Navoris! And you still show no remorse?" L''s words were sharp and unforgiving.


    Tessa''s disappointment ran deep. As her mother, L had never believed her not


    once.


    "Since your disgrace of a daughter has already been cast out of the Sinir family and Frostmoon Pack my life and death have nothing to do with you anymore. Don''te looking for me, and stop meddling in my affairs." "Tessa''s voice was cold as she turned away to collect her bag from the ssroom and leave.


    L watched her go, her frustration growing. Can I really leave her be? No matter what, she is still my daughter- my blood runs in her veins.


    thing And with Walter Sinir, the former Frostmoon Pack alpha and Tessa''s grandfather, set to return, would only get moreplicated. Walter adored Tessa. If he found out they had abandoned her in Falindale, there was no telling how he''d react


    "Alpha, Tessa has been expelled from school," Nathaniel reported to Landon. "Also, she''s the youngest daughter of the Sinir family from Navoris-the one they abandoned here in Falindale."


    "The sister of Cedric Sinir, Frostmoon Pack''s alpha?" Landon asked. While the Frostmoon Pack wasn''t particrlyrge, Cedric was a known figure in Navoris


    "Yes, that''s her. She used to be quite infamous in Navoris. There were rumors that she eloped with a Rogue at just twelve years old-and even had an abortion."


    "Rumors? And you believed them?" Landon''s voice was sharp.


    What kind of Rogue could convince someone like Tessa to elope and have a child at twelve? It didn''t add

    Nathaniel scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "Well, it was her sister Winona who spread the story."


    "Winona?" Landon tried to recall but found the name unremarkable.


    "Alpha, this is a family matter. Are you nning to get involved?"


    Tessa intrigues me," Landon replied thoughtfully. "Bring her in. We might find her usefulter." "Wait. Alpha-are you nning to have her work for Thorne Corp?” Nathaniel was stunned.


    Thome Corp was the powerhouse of Montedra, responsible for half the continent''s werewolf GDP Talented werewolves had to pass rigorous tests just to get a chance to work there. And now the alpha wanted to bring in an unawakened teenager?

    "Got a problem with that?" Landon''s gaze sharpened.


    Nathaniel quickly shook his head. “Nope, not at all. Whatever you say, Alpha."

    That evening. L was at her wit''s end. She hadn''t even managed to meet Mr. Caldwell, let alone resolve the situation with Tessa. She considered washing her hands of the matter entirely, abandoning Tessa to her fate, when Walter Sinir reached out through Mind Link.


    "No matter what, bring Tessa back. If you don''t, you won''t need toe back either," Waltermanded sternly.,


    "Dad, bring Tessa back? You know what happened five years ago..."


    But before she could finish, Walter ended the link.


    L clenched her fists in frustration. Everyone in Navoris is just waiting to see me


    fail. If I bring Tessa back, the rumors will only get worse.


    Her train of thought was interrupted when Cedric arrived unexpectedly.


    "Aren''t you supposed to be on a business trip in Cndria? What are you doing here?" L asked.


    "I came personally to bring Tessa back," Cedric replied curtly. "Cedric, you know her reputation in Nayoris. If we bring her back, the Sinir family won''t be able to recover from the disgrace."


    "The truth of what happened five years ago has never been clear," Cedric said firmly. "We chose to believe, one side of the story, but I''ve never truly thought Tessa did anything to bring shame to the Sinir family or Frostmoon Pack. At the time, I was worried about her mental state in Navoris, so I thought sending her away would help. But now, it''s time for her toe back. She needs to prepare for university."


    Seeing Cedric''s determination, L could only relent, though her distaste for Tessa remained.


    "She won''t agree to go with you. You know how stubborn she is," L said bitterly.


    "I''ll handle it. You can leave now," Cedric said, cutting the conversation short.


    Tessa never expected to see Cedric in Falindale. What''s he doing here?


    Still, it didn''t matter. The Sinir family had nothing to do with her anymore. They


    had chosen Winona over her, and that was that.


    As Tessa tried to walk past him, Cedric grabbed her wrist.
