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 sdisgraced 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 cback 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.
Winona, who had been about to pour herself a glass of water, happened to overhear their conversation- and
instantly felt relieved. She didn’t want Tessa back in the Frostmoon Pack. Tessa had already outshone her in

The only thing Winona could still feel superior about was that Tessa had no pack. According to werewolf tradition,
a wolf without a pack was a rogue, someone others looked down on. No matter how capable she was, that
stigma wouldn't go away.
At least | still have that. Winona told herself for comfort.
Walter had expected her answer, but he still let out a sigh.
“All right; I'll respect your choice. But three days from now, it'll be your eighteenth birthday, your coming- of-age
ceremony. Our family would like to throw you a party..."
Tessa politely refused again. “No need, grandpa. | don’t like events like that.”
Besides, she’d already promised Landon that he could handle everything for her.
The only person in the Sinclair family who genuinely wanted to celebrate her birthday was her grandfather; she
didn’t want him to worry about it.
Walter fell silent!
He knew well that Tessa wasn’t fond of such occasions.

Chapter 391 Adulting Without a Pack
“Mr. Thorne will host my coming-of-age ceremony. Grandpa, you're welcto attend. Tessa extended warm
invitation-to him, and only him.
“You sure there's nothing you want for a present?” Walter still wanted to do something more for his
granddaughter on her big day.
“Grandpa, | already have everything | need; | don’t want anything. Just be good and behave, and I'll be
happy.”
Walter turned to Louis.
“Louis, haven't | been good lately?”

Louis chuckled.
“Ms. Sinclair, Walter's actually been very well-behaved lately.”
“That's good. Grandpa, I'm heading out-Landon’s still waiting for me.”
“Go on, have fun.” Walter beamed.
Seeing Tessa go out on a date with Landon filled him with joy.
