Chapter 42
Kane’s POV
As Margot began to delve into the paperwork, my mind raced with conflicting thoughts and
irritation with her comments
bout Tessa.
Tessa’s past suddenly weighed down heavily on me, with the instant realisation that she hadn’t been
treated fairly here – even by Margo herself it seems!
Judging by Margo’s lack of care for the girls, the whole comment about Tessa could simply have been
exaggerated to the point of bitterness – jealousy even?
I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to Tessa’s story than what met the eye – even since
day one when I had first met her here. The way she had looked at me, the vulnerability held in her
eyes, it all spoke volumes alone on her time here.
“Ok so this is a big decision to make Alpha…” Margo begins, drawing out Tessa’s file as I cringe at
her uneasy tone.
“Just give me it!” I snap, snatching the papers from her hand swiftly before reaching to grab a nearby pen to sign the document off.
She looks alarmed, leaning back in her chair to give me a little more space as her eyes grow wide from watching my signature dance across each and every dotted line to officially claim Tessa as my
own.
It’s done.
There’s no going back now.
“O–Ok… well uh… that’s that finalised – congratulations.” She blunders, as Seth rolls his eyes without holding back – picking up on the falseness of her words.
I hate her even more after today…
“Now what was the other matter you wanted to discuss? About Erin’s situation?” Margo clears her throat, as I straighten up and watch her stand to photocopy my signed papers in the corner as she
listens intently.

“Leo, the male from my pack has been arrested for mistreatment and abuse, therefore Erin had to fulfill the remainder of her trial period in my home under my supervision.” I explain briefly, catching
her up with what had happened as quickly as I could
The machine beeps and files out each paper – before she gathers them up and staples them for me.
She picks up a large brown envelope and places the papers inside – handing me them awkwardly
before sitting back down in her chair.
“Oh, I see! well that’s no problem, we will just update her details on our system and she will be
moved on to participate in the next judgement day.” Margo Felicity shrugs off, unbothered with again a lack of care for what had happened to Erin – not even bothering to find out any more details
on the incident.
“That’s not all.” I cut in, as she blinks a few times and purses her lips impatiently.
“What else can I help you with?” She questions, evidently growing unbothered as I feel my temper
begin to boil once again.
“I’m sorry, but are we bothering you here?! You seem to be having some trouble doing the basics of your FUCKING JOB!” I yell loudly, as she instantly shakes her head and opens her mouth.
She realises she has overstepped her boundaries and resorts to bowing her head…
I’ve had it with her!
“LOWER!” I roar, standing from my position as my chair goes flying backwards – causing the woman
to shoot up to her feet.
“I… I am so sorry Alpha! I did not mean to come across as uninterested in what you have to say!” She blunders, shuffling from foot to foot before me as I refrain from choking her out completely.
I could fucking kill her just based on her attitude alone!
“GET DOWN!” I fume, taking a further step towards her as Seth remains seated with his hands comfortably clasped on his lap.
With that, Margo drops to the ground, winding up on her knees with her forehead pressed tightly down on to the floor, avoiding all eye contact with me.

“You can remain there until I am done speaking.” I spit out, gathering my chair and placing it back
where it once was before sitting back down.
I enjoyed putting her in her place, and would enjoy keeping her there for a while just to prove a
point.
“So the deal with Erin is that Seth here actually put Erin’s number down at the first judgement day but it was as his second choice. After his date with the first human, he didn’t feel any connection and therefore wanted to try his luck with Erin but by then it was too late – Leo had swept her away which was ultimately a mistake.” I glance to Seth who nods in agreement with my words before I
inhale a breath to continue.
“After having to arrest Leo back at my pack, Erin spent a few days in my home around myself and Seth and Seth seems to enjoy her company.” I state, glancing to her curled up frame on the floor
beneath us as I roll my eyes and straighten up.
“Get up now!” I bark, as she stammers to find her feet – breathing heavily and looking humiliated.
Good.
“I… yes… I understand what you are saying Alpha!” She stutters, tucking her now messy hair back behind her ears before moving to grab Erin’s file with shaky fingers.
“What we are actually saying is that we would like for Erin to have a second chance at our pack as I fear she has been left with a bad experience. Seth wants to take her back with us for a trial period with him instead.” I confirm what we want, as she blinks a couple of times sitting back in her chair
warily.
“Ah, right! I don’t think that’s usually how things are done sir, but I can definitely take it back to my team and discuss the option for you both?” Margo offers, her tone forcefully kind as she attempts to
‘help‘ us out.
“But if Seth already had her number noted down at the first judgement day then he should be entitled to explore that option, no?” I push, as she nods once slowly in understanding of my point.
“Y–Yes… I agree… but things are done differently for the benefit of the girls to give them a fresh chance in another pack if a trial fails like in this case. Perhaps Erin wouldn’t want to go back to the same place where she was mistreated by Leo too? This is why the rules are the way they are.” Margo

clears her throat, seeming to get some courage back as I shake my head and tut.
This stupid woman is not real…

“The benefit of the girls? You couldn’t give a rats ass about any of the girls from what I’ve witnessed so don’t give me that shit! My pack is perfect for Erin so don’t dare to suggest otherwise or I will take your words as further disrespect. As far as I am aware, Erin also wants to partake in a trial with Seth so what is the damn problem!” I argue, as she holds her hands up slightly in surrender.
“I’ll see what I can do for you both – but in this case it should be fine.” Margo gives up with a sigh, as I nod and look to Seth who seems satisfied with the response too.
She better give us the go ahead or we will be forced to take matters into our own hands – including putting her damn job on the line.
“I will get around to this right away for you both – please relax in your rooms in the meantime and as for Tessa, you will see her tomorrow at the choosing ceremony to take her home.” Margo explains, as I nod and stand to my full height with Seth following behind me.
Let’s get fucking out of here… away from this old bitch before I burn her damn centre to the ground!
