Connor furrowed his brow deeply. "Winona, I think there must be some kind of misunderstanding here. Tessa isn''t a bad kid."
"Connor, you don''t believe me? Are you saying I''m falsely using her?" Winona''s eyes filled with tears. How could he not believe me?
"I just feel like Tessa isn''t a bad person. Besides, she hasn''t even awakened her
wolf. How could she cause you this kind of injury that won''t heal?"
"So you mean I''m framing her?" Winona''s tears fell instantly, her expression delicate and pitiful.
"I really don''t know how Tessa had the strength to hurt me like this, but the truth is, she''s the one who did it!"
"Alright, I''ll look into this myself. You should just stay home and rest for the next few days. Don''t go back to school." Connor sounded frustrated. He clearly didn''t want to keep talking about it.
"Connor..."
I''m already in the hospital, and he still won''t stay with me?
"Winnie, Connor just got back to the country. He still has a lot of things to take care of. Don''t bother him anymore."
After Yardley said that, she got up to walk Connor out.
Only L and Winona remained in the hospital room.
"Winnie, was it really Tessie?"
Winona looked at her mother with hurt in her eyes. "Mom, what do you mean? Do you think I''m making it up too?"
"I don''t mean that. I just have the same doubt as Connor. Tessa hasn''t awakened her wolf, how could she hurt you like this?" L, like Connor, didn''t quite believe her.
"I just don''t want you and your sister to fall out over a man."
"I''m not lying!" Winona was furious. Even her own mother didn''t believe her.
"Alright, fine. If you''re not lying, then just drop it. From now on, don''t mess with Tessa anymore. Focus on staying with Connor and get him to propose as nned."
L still didn''t believe her.
After all, it really went against everything they knew about how the werewolf world worked. In the end, L chose to believe what made sense to her. She thought this whole thing was something Winona staged herself. A way to get Connor''s attention and make Tessa look bad.
Winona was even angrier. Her mother clearly still didn''t believe her!

Even without awakening her wolf, her power had been overwhelming-so overwhelming that Winona hadn''t been able to fight back at all.
She was sure that Tessa really would''ve killed her.
Connor returned to the Thunder Pack, hoping to help his uncle, the Alpha, with
official matters, but no matter what he did, he couldn''t calm down.
So, he drove aimlessly around Navoris. By the time it hit five o''clock, he still couldn''t stop himself from pulling up in front of Navoris High.
He stayed in the car, waiting. Last time, he hadn''t had a chance to properly talk to Tessa. Today, he thought they needed to.
Finally, after finishing three majorb experiments, Kevin let Nico and Tessa go.
Nico and Tessa stepped out for dinner, only to spot Connor''s car.
"What is it?" Nico asked when he saw Tessa suddenly stop walking.
As soon as he saw here out, Connor pushed open the door, stepped out with his long legs, and walked toward her.
"Tessa, have dinner with me," he said. There were things he really needed to say to her face.
Nico gave the man a once-over.
This man clearly has a strong presence. Isn''t he Winona''s boyfriend? What is he doing here, looking for Tessa?
"You''re here to ask why I hurt Winona, right? Forget dinner, I''ll tell you right now." Tessa''s tone was icy. "I hurt her because I couldn''t stand her. I wanted to shut her up. So? Does that answer satisfy you? If it does, you can leave."
As she spoke, a faint chill seemed to radiate from her body, like a cold wind in winter, distant and sharp.
And hidden in that chill was a trace of pressure, subtle but unmistakable-strong enough to make even Connor, the heir of the Thunder Pack Alpha, pause for just a moment.
