As Tessa’s eighteenth birthday drew near, so did the turning of the year.

Walter knew Landon was secretly preparing a coming–of–age ceremony for her, but deep down, he still hoped Tessa would return to the Frostmoon Pack and undergo a more formal, more grand celebration

He wanted everyone in the pack to know–his Tessie was back! She wasn’t some disgraced girl, nor a weak, unawakened werewolf; she was a powerful fighter with a high–level wolf soul, someone the top werewolf medical organizations were fighting to recruit!

After dinner, Walter brought it up again. “Tessic, are you sure you don’t want to come back to the Frostmoon Pack? People misunderstood you before; but if you’re willing…”

“No need, Grandpa. I’ve gotten used to being on my own.” Tessa declined gently, but firmly.

She understood her grandfather’s good intentions. But to her, the Frostmoon Pack was no different from the Sinclair family–if not for her grandfather, she wouldn’t have stepped foot into the Sinclair household again, either.

And truthfully, she no longer needed any pack to support her–she was strong enough on her own.

She had already built her own “unofficial squad“-like Lightwing Order; or Night Alliance, which the old special forces commander kept trying to hand over to her; and of course, her close allies like Samuel, the members of Avery Band, Camille, and others.

In terms of intelligence networks, influence, and combat power, they were no weaker than a mid–sized pack.

There was simply no reason to return to a place so full of prejudice.
