His note warned not to
to be
late, and I didn’t want to start off the day by defying him… regardless of if
were big or small!
The dining room, found bathing in the fresh morning light, appeared as regal as it did last night only brighter. The table, now cleared of any dinner settings, showcased a bright display of flowers in the centre topped with an incredible, muth watering, breakfast buffet!
Confusion coated my features, as 1 glanced around at the empty room to find nobody else yet present…
This does seem to be the breakfast room though right? But where is Kane? Had’1 misunderstood the note?
A sudden sense of unease settled in the pit of my stomach as I wondered if this was another one of Kane’s unpredictable tests….
Before I could ponder further, a voice echoed confidently in to the room, making itself known – “Tessa, glad you could make it with only a well done little human, the big bad wolf won’t have to eat you up just yet?” He mocks, as I divert my eyes downwards in horror.
a minute to spare
He won’t quit teasing me about being so scared of him will he? With how I reacted to strongly to finding out that he was the Alpha last night? It seemed that he wasn’t prepared to let this one go…
I hesitated for a moment, before I followed his lead and approached the table, taking the seat beside him just as I had done the previous night.
eyes followed me, his smirk widening as if my presence alone merely amused him. The tension from the previous night lingered, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that every move I made was being scrutinised.
“Why so tense my little human? Still worried about me being an Alpha are you?” He hums, as I shake my head and remain silent.
“N–No…” I mumble quietly, as he chuckles in a rich, deep laugh, continuing on.
“I’d hope not! Considering I’ve invited you to a lovely breakfast with me! What is there to fear when I treat you this well hm?” He jokes, grabbing my glass and filling it with fresh orange juice before filling his own.
I sigh heavily, feeling guilty again for my reaction. Sure, I had seen his vicious temper, but the truth of the matter was he has so far been nicer to me than what Erin has had to put up with!
My poor Erin…
I can’t even begin to think about the treatment she had to endure last night living with him!
But the only promising thing about it all was that during the two week trial period… wolves were banned from inappropriately touching or having sex with the females… just to avoid any mistakes that by chance, the wolves end up changing their minds and not wanting to keep us around!
It was another fair law… one in which
hi was thankful for, especially now – for Erin’s sake!
If anything of the sort happened, Erin would be entitled to report it to the leader of the pack which in this case, was Kane!
I turn my head as Kane clears his throat, breaking me out of my daydream I glance over the table which was adorned with an array of breakfast delights fresh fruit. pastries, rolls, eggs, bacon you name it!
“Help yourself.” Kane states, a gleam of amusement in his eyes as if he was enjoying uur morning a little extra today for whatever reason…
I glanced at the spread, unsure of where to even begin, before deciding to go with some simple toast and eggs. He watches me cautiously, allowing for me to finish stacking my plate, Lefore he makes a move to stack up his own plate filling it with pretty much everything that would fit!
Will he seriously aven eat all of that?!
“So, Tessa,” He starts after finishing his first bite, his voice low and deliberate, “Tell me… what exactly would you like to do today if you could have the choice hm?” He asks, his question opening up a possible opportunity for a new plan.
This could be my chance!
“Uh well… I would r–really like to see Erin again at some point….. to maybe even show her m–niy roum….. or 1g–gu nutilde with her to explore the gardens… she loves flowers just as much as I do” i ramble, hoping that he would agree to my effortless plan and all would be welli

Chapter 13-3
“Sounds like a nice idea – but no.” He
te shrugs, looking bored, as my heart is crushed by his blunt response.
“R–Really?” My voice sounds defeated, as he eyes me casually before taking another bite of his meal.
1 watch him chew, before taking another bite, as I decide to eat some of my own food with a small sigh figuring that at this rate, he was done talking to
ΠΕ
“I’ll tell you why it’s a no…” He begins after a few long minutes pass, as I swallow my food and perk up to hear his explanation.
“I brought you all the way down here, to live in my home, to spend some quality time with ME… not your friend… who you’ve spent basically every fucking minute with for years now anyway… you’re being ridiculous Tessa! You seen her last night too!” He argues, seeming slightly irritated as I nod along in understanding of his point.
He makes sense… but he doesn’t quite get why I want to see her so bad!
“It’s just that…” I trail off, lost for words and almost forgetting who I was actually talking to
Damn…
“It’s what?! Spit it out, then Tess and don’t be shy?” Kane pushes, using the little nickname he had created for me once more as I squirm on my chair in nervous thought.
Do I tell him the truth? Since look at what happened when I decided to lie to him that one time… he totally lost his shit with me over that!
“I’m a little… w–worried.” I nod out to confirm my own statement, as K Kane begins to eat again from beside me – waving his hand for me to elaborate further.
“I uh… I’m worried that she… isn’t h–happy here with her s–suitor…” I admit, as Kane raises a brow and wipes his mouth with a napkin before responding instantly.
“Forget it… it’s none of your business what goes on between other couples Tessa… there are laws for a reason and I’ll know if he doesn’t follow them but until then, just forget it! He might not be the nicest but that’s just how this process works – some humans are lucky and some are not- and I suggest that you find yourself very fucking lucky considering that I haven’t yet laid a hand on you for stepping out of line as often as you do! Be grateful at least you have it good!” Kane rants, his voice growing firmer by the second as I shrink back in my chair hearing his threats.
How could he be so calm and approachable one moment and yet so closed off and stern with me
The next?
“Do you understand me? Quit poking around in another man’s business! If I thought before that you’d cause me any added stress or trouble, then you wouldn’t be sitting here right now trust me!” Kane’s words cut deep this time, as my lip quivers slightly as I fight back the tears.
to react so harshly when I had only opted to tell him the truth about my concerns… now he’s almost wishing that he didn’t bring me
I didn’t expect him to re here at all
Kate’s stern words hung in the air, creating a heavy atmosphere around the breakfast table. I struggled to meet his gaze from then on, feeling the weight of his disapproval crushing down on me as we finished our meals in silente.
My attempt to express my genuine concern for my friend had backfired,
1, and I couldn’t shake the sense of vulnerability under his watchful eyes…
“Now, I’m going to ask you this again Tessa, and you better think before you answer… what is it that you want to do today?” Kane questions, as some of his staff enter the room to help clear the remnants of the table.
I think on it, not wanting to say the wrong thing, since the day had only just started and already I had messed up his light attitude….
*M–Maybe you could show me the g–garden? Or maybe we could visit the 1–town that we drove through yesterday? I like looking around in the little shops…“. 1 admit with a shrug, my voice a low murmur as I suggest a new idea awaiting his next scrutiny yet thankfully, none comes.
“Better….. new let me go and grab my keys and wallet and we will head in to town… go and put some shoes on and meet me back down here in live minutes!”
Kape instructs, standing as I instinctively stand with him.
Relieved that he had seemed satisfied with my new suggestion, I felt the tension in my shoulders as a little as I made my way back upstairs to fetch a pair of sneakers to wrat….
So far, I was finding that Kane was often temperamental and tricky to navigate with his moods being so drastic and sharp. One moment, I felt so relaxed and open around him and the next 1 felt nervous and terrified of faring another outburst.
Chapter 13-3
But was this a normal wolf human relationship? Was this the same for every pair year in and year our? Because all I can say is, that it’s a very tiring job!
Let’s just hope that I survive another day here… with my Alpha suitor….
