“I’m trying… She comments, r eyes glinting with an unfamiliar emotion.
“I know you are…. I’m glad.” I admit, thankful that she was beginning to warm up to me more and more with each passing day- understanding how to deal with me as an Alpha.
“So what happened? Where… did she go?” Tessa sits back, legs crossed and prepared to hear to full update as I twist slightly to face
her.
I clear my throat, enjoying this brief moment in which I could contribute to her mood – with the slight ounce of guilt still remaining from before when I had shut her down time and time again about her friend.
“You can thank Seth… he went rogue and took it upon himself to go back for her!” I chuckle, as she shakes her head and smiles in disbelief.
“He’s a good guy!” She states, as I fight back my inner wolf to not become jealous with the meaningless comment.
She doesn’t mean it that way… he’s a good friend of mine and a good friend of hers now… behave!
“He is… he took her to his Dads place not far from here and put her in the basement… not even my best trackers could catch her scent! I was starting to get worried, but turns out it was just Seth this whole damn time!” I explain with a scoff, given that I hadn’t even considered it as a possibility until he had fessed up!
“Can I tell you a s–secret?” She whispers, although I catch the playful side to her tone and nod for her to go on.
“Between you and me… I actually think that Seth might like Erin… you know?” We continue to laugh together as Tessa admits her suspicions and I inwardly agree with her.
I think she’s on to something… despite knowing that Seth did actually put her down as an option at the judgment day but was too late to explore it… I think he wants to now.
“Another question…” She continues, as her face falls into a confused expression – shuffling slightly to get more comfortable.
“What is it?” I push her to say it, again feeling guilty over the fact that she might potentially hold back on telling me things now after I continued to cut her off before…
But I suppose there’s always the last resort to get information out of her now…
“I–If Erin has already been selected for the trial period… is it too late for Seth to be with her instead?” Tessa’s eyes glint with curiosity, as they grow big and hopeful for my next response.
In the books, it’s not the simple… but if there’s one thing I know about Seth, it’s that he will for sure make it work his way or the highway!
“If it’s meant to be, then it will be Maybe Erin will need some time first to get over what’s happened before rushing into things.” I bargain, as Tessa seems satisfied with my response.
With that, I look her over once more seeing her tired eyes behind her excited facade. She needs to sleep…
“I want you to sleep You can see Erin in the morning.” I state, before she pouts out her bottom lip slightly in pleas with me.
“The most you’ll get from me with that face is a kiss angel… that’s my decision… sleep and you can spend all day together tomorrow how about that?” I state, not shifting in my decision.
1/2
If I gave her the choice, she would be downstairs waiting to see her night… they both need to rest!
O–Ok… thank you Kane… for coming around with all of this.” She tells me as I lean forward to place a kiss on her head before moving to her cheek and landing on her lips.
