hapter 324 The Final Warning
"Tessa, I... I''m your father..." Yardley gasped, wing helplessly at the steel grip around his neck.
Panic flooded him.

No matter what, he was still her father. And they weren''t alone-wolves from other packs were around. Didn''t she care what people might say?
But Tessa''s eyes had gone pure silver, glowing with the wrath of the White Wolf. Her voice dropped into a guttural growl. "Yardley, you should never have used Grandpa to threaten me."
Her rage was no longer human-it was primal, her wolf speaking through her mouth, her fury radiating through her very bones.
She could endure betrayal, lies, and humiliation.
But not this.
Never this.
Yardley thrashed violently, but Tessa hoisted him like a rag doll, her deceptively slender arms nowced with terrifying strength.
His face flushed purple fromck of oxygen. He whimpered as his hands iled uselessly, his legs kicking the air.
Tessa''s fingers pressed tighter, the power of her wolf zing beneath her skin. She was moments from snapping his throat like a twig.
Even Donald, standing nearby, was stunned silent.
His own wolf whimpered submissively inside him, a response only triggered in the presence of a wolf significantly more powerful.
This confirmed it-Tessa was no wolfless girl. She wasn''t even average.
Her wolf was high-rank. Possibly higher than his.
But more than that, it shook him how easily she was about to kill her own father.
What the hell happened in the past five minutes? What could''ve pushed her to this edge?
And then-
"Tessa! What are you doing?!"
L''s voice cut through the tension like a de.
She hade out looking for them, wondering why they hadn''t returned to the boardroom-and walked right into this scene.

She froze at the sight of Tessa choking Yardley midair, surrounded by a terrifying silver aura.

Even her maternal instincts couldn''t protect her from Tessa''s pressure. It felt like standing in a hurricane.
But still, L forced herself forward, reaching for her daughter''s arm.
Her fingers trembled as she tried to pour the gentle scent of motherly pheromones into the air to soothe her.
"Tessa," she whispered, her voice shaking. "Whatever he did... he''s still your father. If you hurt him, you''ll regret it for the rest of your life."
Donald stepped forward too. "Tessa, don''t ruin your future over someone like him. He''s not worth it."
Tessa''s breathing was ragged. Her wolf''s instincts screamed to end it-to finish what had begun.
But reason wed its way back in.
Her expression cold as winter, she finally released him.
Like garbage, she tossed Yardley aside. He hit the ground hard, crumpling with a wheeze.
He gasped desperately for breath, unable to stand. The expensive suit he wore did nothing to hide the disgrace-his legs too weak, his spine too shaken.
"T-Tessa..." he rasped after several minutes, voice trembling.
Was this truly... his daughter?R
When had she be this terrifying?
There was no doubt-she had wanted to kill him just now.
She would''ve.
He shuddered, heart still pounding from that brush with death.
His wolf-his proud, arrogant wolf-was still curled in the shadows of his mind, too afraid to even appear.
Then something darker stirred within him.
A hateful aura oozed out, leaking into the air. The shape of a dark, snarling wolf began to form faintly beneath him, etched into the floor like a cursed shadow.
Tessa turned back onest time.
Her voice was ice, unflinching.
"You better pray my grandfather''s unharmed. Otherwise..."
Her silver eyes narrowed. "I will end you."
Then she walked into the boardroom without another word.
