Chapter 272 The One He Notices


    +8 Pearls


    As soon as the exam ended,ints filled the hallways-everyone was grumbling about how much harder the test had gotten.


    Even Winona didn''t look too good.


    Lately, she had thrown all her focus into Evan. There hadn''t been any time to study properly.


    Her grades this round would probably suffer.


    But what mattered most right now was winning Evan''s heart. Everything else came second.


    With that thought, Winona rxed a little.


    She stepped out of the school gates and into the Sinir family''s car. Pulling out her phone, she nced at the screen.


    Still no call from Evan today.


    Was he already losing interest?


    Ms. Winona, isn''t that the Thornbane Pack''s alpha?"


    The driver had just started the car when he spotted Evan ahead, standing with Tessa. The two of them seemed to be talking about something


    Winona looked up and immediately saw Evan smiling Tessa. The sight made her deeply ufortable/


    "Why does Tessa always get the things I try so hard for and still can''t have?"


    She had bent over backward to please Evan, yet he remained indifferent, always distant and aloof.


    Not far away, Ysabel was ring at Evan with obvious suspicion, "Who are you? What do you want?"


    Of course she knew who he was-Thornbane Pack''s alpha, Evan. But hadn''t Uncle Landon driven him out of Navoris five years ago? Why was he back, and why was he bothering Tessie?


    "I mean no harm. I just find Ms. Sinir. intriguing I simply wanted to get to know her Evan replied smoothly, smiling at Tessa as if Ysabel''s hostility didn''t faze him in the slightest.


    Tessa shrugged, unimpressed.


    Tm not interested in being your friend." She never bothered being polite to people she didn''t like. "And besides, your girlfriend''s watching."


    She gave a quicance in Winona''s direction.


    Evan followed her gaze and caught sight of Winona too "She''s not my girlfriend."


    Winona had just stepped out of the car and was walking toward them when she heard that. The words hit her like needles sharp and cold.

    She''d already been worried that Evan didn''t like her.


    But hearing him say this out loud-he might as well have punched her in the chest.


    Still, the idea that Evan might fall for Tessa was utterly uneptable.

    She straightened her back and walked up to Evan, pretending to be close and casual. “Evan, weren''t we supposed to go together? This is my sister, Tessa. Tessa, this is Evan, alpha of the Thornbane Pack."


    "Winona, what are you doing? Introducing your boyfriend to your sister? What a shame-he just said you''re not his girlfriend," Ysabel taunted her on purpose. Who had been so smug just a moment ago? And now look at her.


    Serves her right. Winona had always tried to show off in front of Tessa. Too bad she had nothing worth showing. Kind of pitiful, really.


    "Evie, I-"Winona had never called Evan that before. But now, she looked at him with wide, innocent eyes, ying the victim-trying to make it seem like the two of them had been bullying her


    "You two sisters really don''t look anything alike," Evan said, ignoring Winonapletely and speaking to Tessa.


    Tessa didn''t want to waste any more time. She threw an arm around Ysabel''s shoulders and turned to leave.


    "Excuse us."


    Evan watched her go, something inside him itching.


    It had been a long time since a woman got under his skin like this.


    The face, the figure, that fiery attitude-she had him hooked.


    And more than that, she was the woman Landon liked,


    That made Evan''s desire to conquer her burn even hotter.


    "Tessa, remember my name. Evan Morrigan, We''ll meet again."
