Kane’s POV
I paced the room, having had run Tessa a bath which she was currently in whilst I thought back on the new information I was given.
Why would Seth be so willing to check in on the girl? Never mind leave her behind after seeing her burnt arms? Typically he would have came and told me about something as serious as that…
Perhaps I had been overly harsh whenever Tessa had tried to ask for my help with helping her friend, but I didn’t see it fair to take away Leo’s one chance at having a family… although my mind was most definitely changed now.
After seeing how out of control he had acted earlier when he turned up here – only confirmed to me that he had a problem.
Maybe the poor girl has run off thinking that there was no hope left for her here? After Seth and Tessa left her alone after seeing
what he had done to her.
But the fact that she was out there somewhere, only posed a bigger threat for our society as a whole… if we are letting the humans escape without precaution, there could be an uprising again which would only result in mass slaughter.
Everything we have built would be ripped apart and the other packs wouldn’t be happy to find that our humans were risking it all to
escape
should have listened to Tessa to begin with and things wouldn’t have gone this far…
I turn when hearing the bathroom door open – seeing Tessa exit with her hair wrapped up in a towel wearing some fresh blue silk pyjamas.
It’s been a long day for the both of us…
“Get in to bed and get a good sleep – I still have stuff to do.” I explain, watching her chew her lip in deep thought.
“Quit doing that…” I warn, as she squints slightly before realising what I’m talking about – removing her lip from between her teeth
in an instant.
“I can’t go t–to sleep… Erin is still out there…” She breathes nervously, seeming worried to how I would respond.
“I’m dealing with it… I’fl have her brought back here – alive.” I nod sternly, determination filling me.
It was the best I could do after shutting her up time and time again whenever she tried to express worry for her friend’s evidently horrible situation.
I didn’t want to involve myself too early given that couples tend to work out their differences over the two week trial or even so decide to call it quits and continue the search for someone else but in this specific instance, it seems that Leo wasn’t ready for giving the girl up and seen her as more of an object above all else…1
“Can you p–please wake me up as soon as you find her? If I even manage to fall asleep that is?” Tessa asks, approaching the bed in which she was accustom to since being here.
“Sure… I’ll make this right, you have my word.” I confirm once more offering her a final nod to receive a small smile in return.
Maybe Leo was right… this human girl does seem to have me wrapped around her finger already… slowly but surely!
With that, I turn off the light – leaving her bedside lamp alive before closing the door to the room behind me as I exit.

Chapter 51
‘Anthony, Seth… where are you two?‘ I send out a quick mind–link in search of my two friends, to which Anthony responds quite quickly to.
‘I’m at your office… Seth is her too… He confirms, as I manoeuvre round the house swiftly making my way towards my office.
Opening the doors, I am greeted with a once again fresh working space minus the shit had successfully smashed in to a dozen pieces earlier which was no longer solvable.
Just as I am about to talk, I am distracted by another one of my mer behind me – “Alpha, still no sign of the girl yet! We are starting to think that somebody has taken her in or that she’s hiding in a buding without anyone knowing! Can’t even get a scent! As for Leo, he’s in the pit sobering up and still shouting…” He updates, as nod along with his words to show I’m listening.
“I think we can explain that Kane!” I turn towards Anthony, confusion consuming me next as he seems to know more than what
meets the eye.
“Very well, you are dismissed! Have Leo supervised for the next ten Hours and brought to me first thing in the morning for questioning.” I demand, as the guard tilts his head forward to show his submission before turning to make his exit.
