Kane’s POV

“Are we being harsh?” I ponder, watching from the window to see both Tessa and Erin exiting the jet with Anthony – as we wait behind to give them all ahead start back to the centre.
“Nah! They at least deserve the silent treatment to reflect on what they both did not harsh at all!” Seth huffs out like a stubborn child as I release a rich laugh at his pettiness.
It took every last ounce within my self control not to lose the complete rag with Tessa last night when we had gotten back from the festival, and I was scared for what I could’ve done.
With the little reason I had left by the time we reached my front steps, I told her to get out of my sight for her own benefit and for mine – to at least give me time to cool off before anyone got hurt.
Afterwards, I sat in my office with Seth and discussed what had happened, with the whole ordeal landing on the worst possible moment when we were due to bring them back to the centre today… of course it was on the last day of her trial!
We were out of time now and there was only two options moving forward. It was either that I get over what happened and just treat it as a one off (trusting that Tessa won’t fuck up that badly ever again) or I take my chances elsewhere with somebody else who knows how to act right twenty four
seven!
I couldn’t help but ignore the gnawing fact that what had happened seemed incredibly out of character for Tessa and I couldn’t piece together what she had been thinking before it either.
Why would she do that?
When she knows my temper?
Did she think it was funny?
Or is Tessa and Erin bad news when they hang out together? Perhaps they bring out the worst in one
another?
I don’t think that she would want to jeopardise our relationship… or would she?

Chapter 41
Does she even want me to keep her around or was this their grand plan to get brought back here all along hating their time away from home?
I doubt it – considering that we had treated them both like royals for the whole time she had spent
living in my home.
“We can let them panic for today, make them nervous about the choosing tomorrow. Maybe then they will realise that we ‘almost‘ weren’t going to progress with things and won’t do anything remotely like it again?” Seth suggests, as I watch Anthony’s car drive off into the cloudy distance.
“Fine, but you’ll need to go for the meeting about taking Erin back again for a trial period now… we can do that as soon as we get there and explain the situation with Leo.” I state, knowing that there could potentially be hurdles in Seth and Erin getting granted a new trial.
But it’s a good thing that I’m the Alpha… they won’t want to piss me off so I’m guessing it should be
an easy fix!
“They better just let me take her and cut the shit!” Seth states, as we both stand and prepare to leave the jet with the girls both out of sight completely.
“For somebody so dead set on giving them the silent treatment you sound lost without your damn human!” I laugh and shake my head at him, knowing deep down that neither of us were actually prepared to let them out of our grasp – whether they had badly fucked up or not.
–
I don’t think I would find another Tessa amongst the masses of desperate and incredibly false females. From what I had seen, they were all pretty much the same. I liked Tessa on that first day because she was broken, and I wanted to give her a chance to prove her worth which, until last night, she had lived up to my expectations.
With that thought, we take our leave, heading down into the waiting SUV vehicle at the bottom of the steps, moving to climb in just seconds before the spits of rain begin to pour down on top of the
car roof.
It grows heavier within seconds before it begins to pound down upon the pavements, and I remember just how much I hate coming to the North East!
“Shit ass weather!” I make my annoyance for it known, as we drive through the roads on our way back to the centre where it had all first began.

Chapter 41
It wasn’t far, and after a brief silence we got there in no time, parking up in the visitor entrance to find the headmistress Margot Felicity waiting under a small shelter to shield herself from the rain.
I didn’t like her for the way she had been caught speaking to and treating the humans however this was their job. Keeping everyone in line and preparing the girls to know their place amongst us temperamental wolves.
Cutting the engine, we climb out, rushing towards the entrance, as her tight smile is forced to widen at seeing us both approach.
“How did you find the trial period then, Alpha? With our Tessa was it?” She ponders with an odd
look, before opening up the door to bring us inside greeted by warmth and the smell of fresh paint.
They had clearly gotten round to decorating these past two weeks by the looks of the flashy white
walls and newly hanged frames.
“We completely understand if you may not want to keep Tessa around now… and don’t be shy to tell
us that either. She can be a difficult one at the best of times!” She decides to speak out once again since I had ignored her first question, leading us both in to a meeting room as my attention was
suddenly piqued by her words.
What does she mean by that statement?
Was there a side to Tessa that I hadn’t yet unraveled?
From what I had seen thus far, she was nothing more than a mousy shy human with some trust issues… but was it all just an act? It can’t be! I would’ve seen through it…
“Oh you know… please come in and take a seat get comfy!” She pauses, holding the door for us both to come inside her office to sit down.
“No I don’t know what you mean. Please continue?” I push her, as she gets comfortable opposite from us both and places her elbows on the light wood table.
“Well Alpha, you seen the way she turned up to the judgement day – her very first one too at that?! I was surprised that you had even selected her number – I thought it was a typo! It was a complete rebellion and if you hadn’t had saved her that day then she would have been punished for it accordingly!” Margo concludes, blunt and dry as she gain shows her distaste for the females she was put in charge of.

Is that all she has to go off of? Because Tessa didn’t look pristine on her first judgement day like the
others?
From what I have gathered, the whole incident was completely out of her control that day.
“Did you even know that the other students had attacked her? Minutes before the judgement bell rang? She had to report to the hall in that state or the punishment would have been far worse if she would have missed it – am I wrong?!” I snap, suddenly feeling the need to defend Tessa after having got to the bottom of why she looked how she did that day (despite not being happy with her right now but she doesn’t need to know about that).
With that, Seth clears his throat and shuffles in his chair and Margo is left speechless – opening and closing her mouth like a fish out of water.
“Oh… uh… well I don’t believe that none of the other ladies here would act that way! Not on my watch!” She straightens herself up as I can’t help but scoff.
“Well you better believe it because that’s the truth on what happened. It actually sounds to me that it’s bullies you’re training in this centre opposed to pristine humans Margo.” I wave a hand and state, my tone clipped and intended to be rude as her jaw gapes.
She’s shocked? I can’t see why… for being called out for the first time in her life?
“With respect sir, I’ll have this looked into right away because I do not want that to be true and if it is then rest assured that it will be dealt with properly!” She states, as I refrain from rolling my eyes
at the promise.
I didn’t like this woman, yet she was crucial in Anthony being approved to have a trial with Erin which was unfortunate. Until then, I’ll have to suck it up and smile… or at least try to. 3
“Anyway, how may I help you both today? Are we signing the document to keep Tessa permanently then? You also said you had an incident with Erin’s suitor is that right?” Margo pulls out some paperwork, as she sorts through the files and finds notes about what she knows on Erin’s situation.
Here we go then…
