On Sunday, the Sinir and Lawson families had arranged to meet at Maison Laurel, one of the most exclusive restaurants in Navoris. Yardley arrived early with his wife and daughters. Walter hadn''te-he wasn''t feeling well enough.
The Lawsons hadn''t arrived yet, so Yardley took the opportunity to lean in toward Winona and whisper, "Winnic, you''d better handle this well. If we can get the Thunder Pack''s Alpha family on our side, we can bring Sinir Corp back under our control."
Sinir Corp was the main source of ie for the Frostmoon Pack. Now that Beauty Luxe was thriving under Tessa''s leadership, if she really did be thepany''s executive CEO, their financial future would be in her hands.
Yardley refused to let that happen.
ust then, the Lawsons arrived.
Connor''s father-Thunder Pack''sst Alpha-had died five years ago in a war with the vampires. The urrent Alpha was Connor''s uncle. Since he''d never found a mate and chose to remain single, the Luna title ad stayed with Connor''s mother, Fiona.
onnor was the strongest and youngest werewolf of his generation. Unless something changed drastically, e was next in line to lead the Thunder Pack.
ona still oversaw most of his major life decisions, and she had already made up her mind about one thing Connor and Winona.
soon as the two of them stepped into the private dining room, Yardley sprang up like a spring-loaded ippet.
iona, it''s been too long. And Connor-look at you. Even more handsome than before."
nnor didn''t return the enthusiasm. His expression was cool, bordering on disinterested.
onnor, where are your manners?" Fiona scolded.
the ignored her and instead asked, "Where''s Tessa? She''s not here?"
e temperature in the room dropped like someone had opened a freezer.
en Yardley didn''t know how to respond.
eard she was back. Isn''t she part of the Sinir family?" Connor asked again, calmly.
nnor, you know how Tessie is," Winona quickly interjected with a forced smile. "We asked her toe. just... didn''t want to."
e." He didn''t press any further and took his seat without another word.
ryone else quietly let out a breath of relief.

"Engaged?" Connor''s brows twitched, the first real reaction he''d shown all evening.

"Well, you and Winona are already close, aren''t you?" Fiona said matter-of-factly. "Now that you''re back; there''s no reason to dy."
Winona''s palms were damp. Her nerves were rattling like loose change in a jar. Something was off. Connor was looking at her differently. Coldly. Distantly. Could it be... had he found out?
Had he learned the truth-that she wasn''t the one who saved him?
Still, she kept her smile in ce and spoke with practiced softness. "Madam
Lawson, there''s no need to rush. If Connor doesn''t want to-"
"Winnie, what are you saying?" Yardley interrupted, his smile frozen but his tone sharp. "Of course you''re getting engaged."
"No ‘buts," Fiona added. "I''ll have someone pick a date. Once you graduate, we''ll hold the ceremony. You''ll be properly mated by then."
Connor exhaled slowly through his nose, clearly displeased, but said nothing
more.
Winona rxed just a bit, but something still gnawed at her. He wasn''t acting like someone about to marry the girl he loved. He wasn''t acting like someone who even liked her.
After the meal, the two families walked out of the private dining room-only to run straight into Tessa.
The moment Winona saw her, her breath caught and she instinctively stepped back.
What is she doing here?
She can''t seriously be here for Connor... right?
Yardley''s eyes narrowed. Damn that girl. What was she doing here now?
Even Fiona frowned slightly at the sight of her.
L rushed up to Tessa and leaned in close, hissing, "Why are you here? Today''s
an important day for your sister. Don''t you dare cause trouble."
Tessa nced over at Fiona and Connor, then let out a quietugh.
Did the Lawsons own Maison Laurel now? If they could dine here, why couldn''t she?
"Mind your damn business," she said coldly, brushing past L like she wasn''t even there.
She kept walking-her destination was still ahead.
From the second she appeared, Connor''s eyes hadn''t left her. He followed her every step with silent intensity.
But Tessa didn''t look at him once. She didn''t el-
invisible.

Connor reached out and grabbed her arm.
