Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

A genius doctor like Tegan was a rare find nearly impossible to get on your team.

To put it bluntly, even though Uriah had always kept her under his wing all these years, Tegan had never just coasted on his support. She'd been working her tail off when no one was looking, quietly building her own path to success.

She had wings of her own now-strong, independent, and entirely hers.

Even if she left Uriah, Tegan would be just fine. She'd already carved out her own corner in the field, far from his control.

But still...

"So, what's Uriah's attitude towards you these days?" Stella asked, curiosity getting the better of her.

She hadn't poked around too much about Uriah and that Helena situation before. But back then, Tegan had insisted on leaving with her, which meant what went down with Helena was no small matter.

Tegan just shrugged, "He doesn't really have an attitude."

Stella's eyes widened. "Are you serious?!"

"Actually, I'm getting ready to leave Portis City," Tegan admitted quietly. "As soon as the research center in Yoreland gets back to me, I'm out of here."

Right now, Tegan was just waiting for that final call.

Stella's jaw dropped. "You're going to Yoreland?"
