Chapter 29 Obsession and Vengeance 63 % Finished The next morning , as Tessa arrived at school , she immediately sensed that something was off . Sure enough , there was trouble brewing . Students at Navoris High were whispering and pointing at her from all directions . Ysabel , who had been waiting for her by the gate , quickly ran up to her . " Tessie , that idiot York is here again ." " Didn't he already break up with Queenie ? " Tessa asked , her tone indifferent . " Yeah , but this York is delusional ! He's trying to chase after you now . Can you believe it ? He doesn't even bother checking himself in the mirror before doing this nonsense . " To Ysabel , no ordinary werewolf could ever deserve someone as extraordinary as her Tessie . As soon as Tessa walked through the school gates , York came running over . He held out an absurd display : property deeds , bank cards , and savings records . " Tessa , I'm serious about you ! Just say yes , and all of this is yours ! " " York , are you here to make a fool of yourself ? " Ysabel couldn't help but laugh . What an idiot ! Nearby , Queenie had overheard York's arrival and rushed over . She was just in time to witness this humiliating scene . " Tessa , tell me - what do I have to do to make you accept me ? " York's eyes gleamed with determination , ignoring the growing crowd and the judgmental stares . " Move , " Tessa said coldly , her patience already running thin . But York grabbed her wrist . Tessa hated being touched . Her blue eyes narrowed dangerously , an unspoken warning flashing across them . " Do you want to keep that hand ? " York , oblivious to the danger , grinned as if he believed his charm could conquer anything . " Tessa , be with me . I can give you everything you've ever wanted ." Her patience finally snapped . Tessa twisted his arm sharply . " Ahhh ! " York's scream echoed through the courtyard as his arm was dislocated in one swift motion . " Don't touch me . I warned you ." " 20:43 Mon , Apr 21 BB . Chapter 29 Obsession and Vengeance 63 % Finished : Ignoring York's agonized groans , Tessa stepped on the pile of documents and cards he had so proudly displayed . Without so much as a glance back , she walked away with Ysabel . Ysabel was stunned . That fluid motion , that commanding aura … She had to hold herself back from cheering out loud . She's too cool ! Ysabel thought , her admiration soaring . Tessa could do no wrong in her eyes . Everything she did was downright impressive . Nearby , Queenie's friends tried to pull her away . " Queenie , let's go . York's just a piece of trash . He brought this on himself . " " Yeah , Queenie , let's leave . Class is about to start ." But Queenie shook her head . Even after everything , seeing York in pain filled her with heartache . She still wanted to be with him . She told herself it was just a momentary lapse in judgment on his part .. She rushed to his side , tears welling in her eyes. " Yorkie , are you okay ? Let me take you to the hospital . York's arm dangled awkwardly , the bones out of place . He'd need professional treatment before his body's natural healing could kick in . But instead of gratitude , York frowned at her approach . " Queenie , stay away from me . I don't want Tessa to misunderstand . " " York … " Queenie couldn't believe what she was hearing . Despite everything Tessa had done to him , he still wouldn't give up on her . " Queenie , I'm sorry , " York said , his voice weak but resolute . " But I think … I've found my true love . " " True love ? What does that make me , then ? " " Everyone makes mistakes before meeting the right person ." Mistake … Queenie's bitter laughter broke into a sob . " York , you won't get what you want . Tessa is nothing but a shameless- " Before she could finish , York slapped her hard across the face . " Don't you dare talk about her like that again !

If Tessa hadn't met York … If Tessa could just disappear … Wouldn't everything be different ? Consumed by these toxic thoughts , Queenie made a decision . She dialed a number she hadn't called in years . " Hey , didn't you always like Tessa ? Well , guess what - she's back ." 68
