Staying under the same roof with people she despised wasn't . something she could tolerate - she might actually kill them . " That's fine . " Walter relented . " I won't force you . But since you just returned tonight , spend one night here with me . Tessa nodded in agreement . " It's late , Grandpa . You should rest . I'll stay around for the next few days to keep you company ," she said gently , not wanting to disappoint him further . " Good . I'm getting old . I just want to see my family living in harmony , " Walter said , his voice heavy with meaning , before heading upstairs . After Walter left , Lila took Edmund to prepare a room for Tessa . In the living room , only Tessa and Winona remained . Winona studied Tessa carefully . She seems different now , she thought . But no matter how much Tessa had changed , she was still the same useless girl she had been five years ago . Back then , Tessa had been the weakest werewolf in the Sinclair family - easy to bully and too timid to fight back . Now , five years later , she was still a powerless failure , nearly an adult and yet still unable to awaken her wolf . Winona , on the other hand , had awakened her wolf three years ago . Taking down someone like Tessa would be as easy as squashing an ant . " Tessa , I can't believe you had the nerve to come back . Are you looking to get kicked out again ? " With Walter no longer present , Winona's true nature emerged , her words dripping with cruelty and venom far beyond her years . Tessa calmly pulled a piece of gum from her pocket , unwrapped it , and popped it into her mouth before speaking . " Winona , the same way you kicked me out of the Sinclair family and Frostmoon Pack back then , I'll do the same to you . " Tessa said coolly . With that , she turned and walked upstairs . Winona was livid . How dare this powerless waste speak to me like that ? She glared daggers at Tessa's retreating figure . Just you wait , Tessa . You ll regret coming back . I'll make sure of it . 2/2
