    Walter pretended not to hear her and turned to the butler, changing the subject. "Louis, Landie''s a good kid, don''t you think?"


    The butler nodded wordlessly.


    It wasn''t surprising that Walter didn''t want to stay in the hospital for too long.


    "Tessie, the shareholders'' meeting is in a few days. Are you confident?" Walter hadn''t slept all night, waiting up just for this.


    As long as the matter wasn''t settled, he couldn''t rest easy.


    Sinir Corp wasn''t just a family business he built from the ground up-it was the economic backbone of the Frostmoon Pack, a symbol of their territory.


    In werewolf society, losing your territory was no different from losing your pride. He would never allow Sinir Corp''s legacy to be trampled by another pack.


    Tessa knew that. Her wolf, Emma, was howling within her, vowing to protect what they had inherited.


    "Grandpa, do you not believe in me? If you''ve already handed Sinir Corp over to me, then step back. I won''t let you down."


    So this was why he''d left the hospital early?


    "Mm." Walter didn''t say anything more.


    "Alright, it''s reallyte now. Go to bed. If you don''t, I''m not handling thepany anymore."


    "You-! I know you won''t walk away from it." Even as he said it, Walter turned in and headed upstairs.


    Tessa stayed with him until he was tucked in and had a nket pulled over him. Only then did she quietly leave his room.


    Louis followed her out.


    "Ms. Sinir, it''s gettingte. You should get some rest."


    "I will. You''ve been working hardtely. You should rest too, Louis."


    Tessa returned to her room.


    She hadn''t stayed in this room in years, but everything was spotless and exactly where she left it.


    Walter must''ve told the staff to keep it clean. The rest of the Sinir family probably wished she''d never


    As soon as she stepped inside, her phone rang.


    It was a video call from Landon.

    "I miss you," he said before she could hang up.


    She didn''t know how to respond. They hadn''t even been apart that long.


    But hearing those words still made her heart race.


    She gave him a sideways nce.

    What was up with this man? He kept flirting with hertely. And now this? It hadn''t even been two hours since they separated!


    "Mr. Thorne, it''ste. I''m going to sleep." With that, Tessa ended the call.


    Back at his ce, Landon let out augh from the couch.


    How could Tessa be this adorable? She was clearly flustered.


    All he''d said was "I miss you"! That was it!


    And yet, lying in bed, Tessa spent a long moment trying to calm herself before patting her cheeks and muttering, What''s wrong with me? He didn''t even say anything that bold. Why is my heart racing and my face so hot? Shey in bed, but all she could think about was Landon''s unfairly handsome face.


    Ever since Tessa returned to the Sinir estate, Winona hadn''t slept. Staring at her ruined right hand, all she could think about was revenge.


    After seeing Tessa enter her room, Winona waited patiently. Once she was certain everyone had gone to sleep, she pulled out a dagger and silently made her way to Tessa''s door.


    She did fear Tessa.


    But she refused to ept it.


    Tessa had destroyed everything. There was no way she could just let it go.


    No matter what, Tessa had to pay.


    Standing at the door, Winona formed a pair of wolf ears and listened carefully.


    When she heard the steady rhythm of Tessa''s breathing, she judged that she was asleep and slipp


    side.


    Her movements were silent, not making a sound.


    She approached the bed and leaned down.


    In her hand was a dagger coated in Wolfsbane.


    She''d paid a steep price for it. It had been prepared just for Tessa.


    smug smile tugged at Winona''s lips. Finally, her moment hade.

    Just as she was about to strike, Tessa''s hand shot out and mped around her


    wrist. Her beautiful eyes snapped open, now cold and unyielding.


    The stench of Wolfsbane filled her nose. Her pupils shed with a dangerous silver gleam in the dark.


    She squeezed Winona''s fingers with steady, growing pressure. "Looking to die?"
