After I left the meeting with Tessa and the Blackwood Alphas, I felt...it was hard to describe. It felt, like I was free, but more than that. Like I was under some sort of bubble or barrier, and now everything was clear. And yes, I felt like a weight had been lifted off me since I had apologized to her. I knew that I was still a major dickhead for treating her so badly, and that my apology was just the start. I knew I would have to prove myself to her and earn her respect and forgiveness. Snow was definitely not going to be happy as she never liked Tessa, but hopefully, I could convince her to at least be nice to Tessa. I still couldn't believe that Tessa was the "monster" every werewolf pup had grown up hearing about. Yeah, she was crazy powerful and scared the s**t out of me at times,
