I’m not a male with multiple partners… women coming and going like a conveyer belt… that wasn’t me – yet those two showing up had quite evidently made it look that way!
“Tessa, Erin, I know that today was far from what you both expected. This is not a typical day here.” I asserted, my gaze unwavering. These women are not a representation of our community or our vales to say the least either.”
Tessa’s eyes met mine, searching for sincerity. “Kane, I n–need to understand. How do incidents like this j–just happen? They must have felt welcome enough t–to just turn up like they did.” She argues however her tone remains gentle as I pinch my nose between my fingers in frustration.
“Our security should have been more vigilant, and I’ll address that immediately after I am done speaking with you both and they have been warned not to turn up here again.” I state, meaning each word.
Tessa looked conflicted, a mix of disappointment and uncertainty masked across her features. “I want to believe you, K–Kane. But this… it’s a lot t–to process for me… especially after what we shared–together yesterday…” The fact that her mind had jumped to being most vulnerable tore me up in ways I hadn’t prepared for.
She thinks that yesterday wasn’t at all special… a moment shared between just us… she thinks now that I just act that way with most females I meet.
Taking a step closer, I reached for her hand. “Tessa, you have my word. I’ll do everything in my power to make sure your trial period continues smoothly. Yesterday was far from a mistake too… trust me.” I state, as Erin clears her throat a tad to remind us of her
presence.
“If you go downstairs, Seth will meet you there… give us a minute.” I turn to ask Erin who nods
the room for a moment.
nd seems thankful to get out of
Tessa’s eyes searched mine as they held vulnerability, and I could sense the turmoil storming from within her. “Kane, I need time to process everything. I think it’s m–maybe just becoming a little overwhelming, a–and I don’t want to get upset about it.” She admits, as I sigh.
“I get it… take the time you need tonight, Tessa. Your feelings and concerns are valid with this, and I’m here to address them when you want to talk. As an Alpha, I don’t typically enjoy apologising to anyone but for today, and for how it has made you feel after what we done together yesterday – I am truly sorry for how things have unfolded. My priority is to ensure that you feel secure and respected before we progress on to a serious partnership,” I expressed, my sincerity laid out bare for her to see.
She nodded, the tension in her shoulders easing ever so slightly. “It’s just that… I… find myself really starting to l–like being around you K–Kane… and I wanted for this trial to go really good for us b–both because of that…” She admits, as her head drops forward as
she opens up.
“Now… I’m worried there’s already other f–females caught in the m–mix and I don’t want to c–compete!” She adds in, as t sigh heavily my heart hurting at hearing her words.
“There’s nobody else… you have my word…” I squeeze her hands in mine, forcing her to look me dead in the eye as I speak to see my honesty.
“Just… p–please make sure that it doesn’t happen again. I need to know that this is a place where I can trust our partnership… especially if w–we are working towards being 1–intimate and stuff… Tessa’s cheeks blush at the mention, but I nod and ignore it understanding that this was all completely new to her too.
“I promise, angel. I’ll do everything in my power to make sure you feel valued because I want this to work,” I vow, determined to rebuild the trust that had momentarily faltered in the short time we have spent together.
Our conversation lingered in the air, the unspoken understanding that actions would speak louder than words moving forward…

I probably misread- but since when did the humans get the impression that they were going to be the only ones?
