“I’ll kill her myself!” Lina snarled.

She couldn’t hold back a second longer. All she wanted now was to find Tessa and end her life.

Unlike Artemis, who always thought things through, Lina was convinced of one thing: everything had spiraled into chaos because of Tessa.

In her eyes, as long as Tessa was gone, everything would end.

She turned on her heel and stormed toward the door. Her intent needed no exnation.

Artemis seized her arm. “What are you doing?b” /b

“I’ll kill her! Once she’s dead, this entire mess will end!” Lina’s voice was sharp, her narrow eyes zing with venom.

She meant it. She truly wanted Tessa dead.

Artemis’s face hardened. “Have you forgotten why Lana is still lying in the hospital?”

Lina froze.

“She’s with Victor now,” Artemis reminded her coldly.

Thest time they tried to kill Tessa, the sisters had stormed into Victor’s territory.

Tessa hadn’t suffered so much as a scratch. Instead, they had returned battered–one with minor wounds, the other so gravely injured she still hadn’t been discharged.

Hearing that only made Lina’s rage burn hotter.

iVictor/ii… /i

iThat /iiman’s strength /iiwas /iiterrifying/i.

She and Lana were both formidable fighters, yet they had nearly died in that vi.

And Tessa–Tessa was standing at his side, robbing them blind.

The thought made Lina’s blood boil. “So what do we do? Just stand by and watch while she teams up with outsiders to strip us bare?”

That was exactly what it was–mad plundering.

For days, those people had gone at Ashen Pact like wild dogs, and Tessa was right there with Victor, striking hardest of all.

Artemis’s breath grew uneven. She nced at Lina, then turned to Dale. “She’s doing this because of her mother…”

The moment Diana’s name was spoken, Dale’s face turned darker still.

That woman–where had ishe /iigone/ii? /i

On the way to the council, she had suddenly vanished. Since then, not a trace.

Manny snapped, “All this for her mother? Her mother’s disappearance wasn’t even our doing! If she wants revenge, she should take it out on Dan, that bastard!”

His fury red.

Dan had been on the verge of regaining control of many assets when he suddenly dragged Diana back into the picture.

And now Diana had disappeared again.

But it wasn’t by their hand. If Tessa wanted to settle debts, she should go after Dan, not rip Ashen Pact to shreds.

Artemis’s face soured further. She looked to Dale, her tone softening for the first time on the subject of that mother and daughter.

“It seems we’ll have to make Tessa understand. No matter how much sheshes out at Ashen Pact, it won’t bring her mother back.”

The words stung her throat like fire.

In the past, she never would have dreamed of exining anything to someone like Tessa.

But now?

The situation left them no choice. If they didn’t move to stop her, Ashen Pact would cease to exist.

“Exin to her?” Lina’s voice rose with outrage. “Why? Who is she to deserve exnations from

She had always hated Tessa’s existence.

Now, hearing her mother suggest exnations, her fury nearly split her chest.

Manny backed her up. “She’s not worth it. She doesn’t deserve anything from us.

Artemis’s eyes cut coldly toward them both.

Manny winced, tugging at the fresh bandages around his check. The stitches burned every time he moved his mouth.

“Whatever else,” Artemis said firmly, “we have to survive this storm from Ashen Pact first.”

Yes–a storm.

Tessa had brought nothing less than cmity upon them.

Dale’s eyes narrowed, a dangerous light flickering within. He shut them for a moment, then opened them with a glint of ice. “Find out where they’re staying.”

He had decided. He would go see Tessa.

“Father!” Lina cried.

The instant she realized his intent, panic gripped her.

Tessa’s sudden arrival in Noctarth had already unsettled her.

She should have stayed tucked away in Rivermount forever, never stepping foot into Ashen Pact’snds.

Why had shee back here?

Did she intend to snatch away what belonged to them?

Especially when it came to her father…

Lina looked at Dale, her voice sharp with desperation. “Don’t go see her! After all she’s done to you, she’s not even your daughter anymore.”
