Tessa’s POV
As Erin tried to comfort me, I couldn’t shake the turmoil within. The encounter with Dolly and Kim had disrupted the fragile peace I’d started to find with Kane. It felt like a betrayal, not just from the intruders but from the universe itself.
“I thought things were finally falling into place,” I admitted, frustration lacing my voice. “Why does it have to be so complicated?”
Erin placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. “Tessa, don’t let those two dictate the course of your trial period. Kane cares about you; I could see it in his eyes when he confronted them.”
“But what if this changes everything? What if he thinks Ibrought trouble into his home?” My mind raced with scenarios, each more catastrophic than the last.
Erin sighed, her expression sympathetic. “We can’t control the actions of others, but we can control how we respond. Let Kane handle those two troublemakers, and we focus on your connection with him.”
It made sense, but the uncertainty gnawed at me. “What if he thinks I’m not worth the trouble? I’ve already caused so much commotion.”
Erin shook her head. “Tessa, you’re worth it. I’ve seen the way he looks at you, the way he cares. This is just a bump in the road. We’ll get through it.”
I appreciated Erin’s optimism, but the fear of losing what I’d found with Kane lingered. “I just want things to go were before this mess.”
back to how they
“Give it time. Kane is protective, and he won’t let this incident define your trial period,” Erin reassured me, her words a lifeline in the uncertainty that surrounded us.
As we sat in my room, waiting for the storm outside to pass, I couldn’t help but wonder if this trial period would withstand the unexpected challenges or crumble under the weight of external forces. Only time would reveal the true strength of the bond between an Alpha and his human, amidst the chaos that threatened to unravel it all.
Tessa’s POV
After what felt like an eternity, Erin and I heard the front door open, signaling the return of Kane, Seth, and Anthony. The air in the house remained thick with tension as we awaited their presence. When they entered the room, Kane’s eyes sought mine, but I couldn’t meet his gaze.
“You’ve got company waiting out back,” Erin spoke, her tone intentionally neutral. We moved past them without a second glance, heading upstairs to distance ourselves from the unwanted intrusion.
Upstairs, Erin outlined her plan to subtly convey our disapproval without causing a direct confrontation. I nodde anything to restore the balance that had been disrupted by Dolly and Kim.
‘ing to try
As we waited in my room, uncertainty hung in the air. Erin and I exchanged glances, silently acknowledging the challenges that lay ahead. The sound of footsteps approached, and Kane’s voice cut through the silence.
“We’ll deal with this intrusion later. Right now, I need to talk to Tessa–alone.”
His request hung in the air, leaving me torn between the desire to understand and the fear of what might be said. As Erin gave me an encouraging nod, I followed Kane to a more private space, where the weight of unspoken words lingered.
Kane closed the door behind us, and for a moment, silence enveloped the room. I couldn’t bring myself to look directly at him,

Chapter 66
“Tessa, he began, his voice carrying a mixture of frustration and concern. “I want you to know that what happened out there was not your fault. Those two had ho right to disrupt your trial period like that.”
I finally met his gaze, searching for sincerity in his eyes. “Why were they here, Kane? And why did it seem like they knew about our trial period?”
He sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Dolly and Kim are… complicated. They’ve been around before, causing trouble. I thought they were out of the picture. I had no idea they’d show up today.”
His frustration seemed genuine, but doubts lingered. “Why did they by those things about the trial period? Do they know something we don’t?”

This chapter was very confusing, needs to be re written. They change rooms, repeat themselves and contradict the story.
