He closes the door behind him, giving us our privacy as I turn back towards my two friends who sit opposite my desk.
I make my way around the table, sitting down opposite them both and taking mental note that Seth had barely uttered a word to me all day – compared to normal.
“Spill it… you’re fucking up to something Seth I can smell it written all over you!” I state the obvious, as Anthony bites back a laugh and Seth looks conflicted.
“Look don’t kill me right… but first of all… and don’t go on a rampage with the poor girl either because it was all me… but I took Tessa to visit Erin earlier when you had asked me to keep an eye on her during your meeting.” Seth admits, pinching his nose with his fingers as I shake my head from side to side and click my tongue for added effect.
“Tell me something I don’t know… fucking asshole!” I retort, as Seth eyes widen and Anthony finds the amusement in the whole thing.
“You do?! But how?” Seth’s brows furrow, as I shrug – not prepared to admit the lengths I had gone to in order to pull out the truth from Tessa…
“Tessa admitted it…” I all but state, as Seth groans and rolls his eyes dramatically.
“Bet me to it then huh? The little witch!” Seth huffs like a stubborn child, as Anthony chuckles from beside him.

“Witch is fine I suppose… but you seen what happened to Leo after he called this one’s human a bitch right? I’d be careful with the words if I were you!” Anthony continues to laugh out, seeming to shed humour on tonight’s previous events.

Seth’s lips pull up in to a smirk at Anthony’s comment, as he too struggles to maintain the whole ‘soppy child‘ act.
“Witch is appropriate since she ratted me out!” Seth defends, as I shake my head in disbelief at him..
“What and you weren’t just about to rat yourself out to me?! What can I say, I’m a man that can’t be lied to!” I laugh, thinking on how long both Tessa and Seth had actually managed to keep their secret from me.
Anyway… with all humour and jokes put aside… we still weren’t any closer to finding the human girl who was currently on the run!
“Back to the main concern… we need to find the girl… and alive! I promised Tessa that I’d bring her here!” I admit, cringing ever so slightly with just how weak it makes me sound.
I sound like one of those soppy males who get bossed around by their human mate… and believe me, those men exist! Some of the largest and strongest of our kind I’ve witnessed crumbling for their partners!
“Well you can stop worrying about her being out on the run Kane…” Anthony states, folding his arms across his chest as I lean forward slightly.
What the fuck does that mean? Don’t tell me she’s turned up dead somewhere… how will I take that news back to Tessa?!
1 look to Anthony for more information, seeing him do nothing other than tilt his head in the direction of Seth as an indication that he had something to do with it all.
Of course…
“Seth quit the shit… what have you done this time?! You’re taking that Beta role and you’re seriously using it to your advantage aren’t you? Asshole!” I groan, as Seth waves me off dramatically.
