“That’s right. You can pine after him all you want, but you’ll never be his mate!” Winona sneered, her voice dripping with satisfaction. “You think the Thunder Pack’s Alpha family would ever let some scandal–ridden nobody like you into their bloodline?”

She felt a thrill just saying it out loud–for the first time since Tessa returned, she actually felt like she’d won.

Tessa didn’t even blink. Her voice was icy as she replied, “Yardley and Lila treat you like a precious gem. Sinclair family poured every ounce of its resources into grooming you.

Everything had been shifting since Tessa’s return. The changes were subtle, but they terrified Winona. And she couldn’t do a damn thing about it.

Connor was coming back. Once they got engaged, once she was officially tied to the Thunder Pack’s
