Chapter 22-1
Tessa’s POV
“Take him to the pit and bring him back in the morning when he’s sober!” I hear Kane spit out, after what felt like hours of arguing and fighting.
To what I had gathered after the yelling and grunting in agony had ceased – Leo was knocked out unconscious and was now being dragged across the gravel to be taken to whatever the ‘pit‘ was.
Whatever it meant, it didn’t sound nice that was for sure…
I hear him coming back inside, before the front door is slammed shut which causes for me to jump out of my skin at the loud noise.
“Seth where have you been?!” I hear Kane breathe out, as my eyes widen when hearing him address Seth now.
“Went to my Dads for dinner bro! Got here as quick as I could when Anthony linked me!” I hear Seth’s voice, as I breathe in and out in an attempt to calm my worry.
“Ah shit… forgot it’s a Saturday night you go there now…” Kane responds, satisfied with his friends excuse for being late to the commotion, before Kane coughs twice from outside of the room.
“What the fuck was that about?!” Anthony is heard next, confirming that all three of them where inside now and that the others must have taken Leo away from the house.
With that question, my mind comes crashing back to what had actually just happened… Erin has run off… she’s tried to flee… thinking that it was her only hope!
I just wish she wouldn’t have left so soon! I could have tried harder to help her having been given an extra day or two!
She’s sentencing herself to certain death out there on her own against the wolves! Anybody that runs away from their match will be seen as rebelling against the laws and will therefore be hunted for their disobedience!
“The girl has run off from what I’ve gathered… but he seems to think Tessa is to blame!” Kane retorts, before movement is heard and the door to my room is pushed open.
The first thing I take note of is Kanes swollen and blood
hands cut and bruised to tatters as they hang by his sides.
“Y–Your hands!” I blunder, as he enters the room with Seth and Anthony following in next at his back.
“That’s the least of my worries! Can you tell me what that was all about?!” Kane slams his next question towards me, as I open and close my mouth in hunt of the right thing to say.
He remains standing, whilst the other two make a move to plop down on a seat in the room surrounding me.
“I… I… d–don’t know? I didn’t tell Erin t–to run… I promise! Why would I do that? She will get k–killed out there on her own!” I respond, my eyes begging Kanes to believe me as I feel the strained water build up.
“Well Leo seems to believe that you helped her come up with a plan when you both went to the bathroom that night! Where exactly did he get that idea from Tessa?!” Kanes interrogation continues, as splutter to find an answer.
“… n–no.. that’s not what happened!” I defend, my lungs feeling as thought they were being squeezed.
This day alone was overbearing never mind to have Kane accuse me of convincing my best friend to run off in to the wild to only be hunted and killed!

“Then what did you two discuss?!” Kane fires back, beginning to pace back and forth across the floor as I glance to Seth who avoids meeting my eye.
“We spoke about… how Erin hated b–being stuck with Leo… she told me about where she h–had to sleep and the w–way he made her feel!” My head falls forward, recounting what we had actually discussed that night in the bathroom, before I feel the first tear fall from my cheek.
“Then what did you say? Tell her to run off and hide?!” Kane stresses his irritation with the way in which he shoots each word directly at me.
“Of course not! I… I said that I would try t–to help…” I admit, feeling the world around me come crashing down on top of me like a tower of bricks.
“Help how?!” Kane suddenly stops in his pacing, before approaching me in quick strides – leaning down to grab my cheeks between is blood soaked thumb and fingers – forcing me to look him dead in the eye.

My Human
Chapter 22-2
“B–By asking y–you to help her…” I stumble, admitting my original plan, as Kane’s piercing eyes search my own for any sign of a lie.
That whole part wasn’t a lie…
After a second, he releases my face, standing back up to his full height once again as his two friends and next in lines remain silent – allowing for us to have it out.
“Seth have a team sent out to find the girl before this all blows out of proportion! Anthony – make sure none of the men who have witnessed this tonight speak another word of it to anyone until we have it back under control!” Kane shifts his attention to his two friends thankfully offering me some air to collect myself as much as possible.
–
“You go and wait upstairs!” Kane points an accusing finger at me, as I scramble to my feet and make my way towards the door.
With that, I attempt to pass by him, before his hand darts out to grip my forearm in his large and rough hands – pulling me closer to him as Seth and Anthony both leave us alone.
“You’re not telling me everything here angel… and don’t think that I’m a fucking fool! I’ll get it out of you, one way or another!” Kanes icy threat reaches my ears, as I shiver under his touch before he releases me and sends me on my way upstairs.
Kane is going to find out that I went to visit Erin today! It’s going to all be over for me! He won’t want to keep me around if I’m proving to be this much trouble for him already either!
I can’t lie to him forever… I’m only digging myself a deeper hole… but it was Seth’s idea after all… but would Seth tell the truth or let me take the fall for him? I’m pretty sure if Kane had to believe one of us that it wouldn’t be me!
I stumble my way up to my room, locking the door behind me before throwing myself on the familiar bed with a sob. This all fucking sucks!
“Why did this all have to happen to my best friend?!” I sob out in to the pillow, feeling the sick dread creep back up on me at the thought of where exactly Erin could be now.
It isn’t long, before my door handle is tried, as I remember I had locked it in my upset… crap!
“TESSA OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR NOW!” I gasp and rush towards the door, hearing how pissed off Kane was sounding.
With a simple click, Kane barges his way through, scanning the room before turning to face me. “Locking the fucking door won’t keep you safe!” Kane sneers, his eyes a darker shade than usual as I ower my head to show my respect.
“I–I’m sorry…” I reply, hearing his heavy breathing as he seems to battle with himself to calm down.
“What aren’t you telling me?!” Kane demands, as my eyes snap up to meet his own once more wide and panicked that he knew something was off about the whole thing.
I remain silent, unsure of how to even string together a response good enough for him, before he grips my hips and turns me until my back is against the wall.
He takes the position as a chance to fully cage me in with his arms being placed on both sides and his body close.
If I wasn’t so terrified of him finding out what I had done today behind his back… I would maybe find this position rather attractive…
Wait, what am I saying?!

“Speak!” He states, his lips only inches from my ear and causing for me to shiver.
“I… I… don’t know what to say!” I cry out, as he only gets closer his lips now touching my ear and his hips fully pressed against my front now.
“I’ll get you to talk one way or another…” He speaks lowly, this time his lips moving against my ear as he does so – causing a cheap thrill to erupt from within.
Why am I enjoying this torment?! He’s completely pissed off with me and could switch up on me like he had done with Leo any second!
“Come on angel… tell me your secret…” His voice comes out low and dangerous compared to before, as his soft lips trace their way down my neck and to my collar bone.
With that, he begins to kiss and suck the skin, as my eyes roll back and my body tries to comprehend what was happening…
“Oh…” I all but manage, feeling him harden against my front – drawing attention to that area and causing me to blush a bright red.
–
We weren’t supposed to involve ourselves in anything like this until after the trial period when things were more permanent… he knows that…
“Tell me angel… or I’ll stop…” He teases, as my heart skips a beat and a battle takes place between my heart and my head.
