My Human (Kane and Tessa) novel Chapter 132

Kane’s POV

The creak of the front door echoed through the entryway as Tessa and I stepped down the stairs, our bags in tow.

The cool damp air floated in from the open door leading outside, as an array of activity was well in swing by now…

The hall bustled with movement- my men were everywhere mixed amongst Kion’s, hauling crates and suitcases, checking equipment, and shouting brief orders to one another as they prepared us for the journey ahead.

It was controlled chaos, the kind that only a well- trained pack could pull off with practiced precision and without needing much instruction from their Alpha…

Tessa slipped her hand into mine, her fingers warm and steady despite the whirlwind around us.

“Ready for this?” I asked her, eyes scanning the room as several of my closest guards loaded gear into waiting vehicles.

She nodded, her breath catching as Seth appeared nearby, grinning wide when he caught sight of me.

“Kane, Seth said, eyes sparkling with mischief.

“Now isn’t the time for jokes.” I warned him, as he all but smirked and shook his head, enjoying the teasing.

Tessa blushed fiercely, only able to imagine what was next to leave his lips, but Seth took the hint and didn’t let up.

Erin was right behind him, practically bouncing as she wrapped Tessa in a quick hug before stepping back to gape openly at the faint mark visible on her

neck.

I still can’t believe you did it!” Erin exclaimed, loud enough to draw a few amused glances from some of my men who would’ve already figured it out from the scents alone…

Tessa hissed playfully at her again, warning her to keep it down, which only made everyone laugh again.

“I’ll be right back…” Erin quickly excused herself, as Seth made a move to help the others outside.

As I let the moment settle, my gaze drifted toward the sitting room door just as it opened.

Kion stepped out, impeccably dressed, carrying his own suitcase- a rare sight in itself.

1 squinted at the bag in surprise. “You’re planning on coming?” I asked, voice low but incredulous.

Kion shrugged with a calm certainty that stopped the room’s noise in its tracks.

I want to,” he said simply. “Things are under control here now. It wouldn’t be right to let you go back home to chaos- not after what you’ve done for us all

here.

His words hit me harder than I expected. There was gratitude there, yes, but more- an unspoken bond forged in the fires of this struggle we’d been through together in such a short space of time.

I nodded, feeling the weight of it all settle into my shoulders.

“If you’re sure…” I said firmly, meeting his gaze as he nodded once.

Kion smiled briefly, then turned toward the others, already issuing orders to the tech guys in Russian, I’m assuming coordinating the flight plans.

The buzz of preparation intensified around us, the steady rhythm of men loading bags and checking gear creating a tense backdrop to the quiet moment Kion and I just shared.

Suddenly, from down the hall came an unfamiliar sound- soft wheels rolling over the wooden floor.

I turned to see Erin pushing a wheelchair toward us, and in it sat Sasha.

She looked smaller than before, but her eyes held that same fierce spark, a quiet determination that reminded me why we fought so hard for her freedom in

the first place.

The girl was brave; than most.

‘She wanted to say bye to us both at the door, Erin said with a warm smile, her voice a gentle contrast to the noise around us.

Tessa’s breath caught, and I saw the flicker of emotion cross her face as she stepped forward, her lips trembling just slightly.

“Sasha, Tessa whispered, bending down to meet her friend’s eyes. She reached out, taking Sasha’s hand in hers with a tenderness that said more than words ever could.

Sasha gave a small, brave smile, squeezing back. “I’m doing better, I just hope you’ll all be okay…” she said softly, voice still a little rough but steady.

“We will be, and you’ll always be welcome at our pack if you’re ever needing a new place to call home in the future… once we have things settled at home that is! But in the meantime, I’m sure Kion’s pack will be more than happy to have you.” I step forward to speak up, as Sasha’s eyes glance up to mine.

Her eyes brimmed with tears, her whole face morphing. “Thank you so much, for everything you did…” Sasha nods respectfully, as I wave her off.

“I’d do it all over again… no need to thank me. You deserve better than all do that.” I state with finality, as Tessa beams at my words, grateful I had said

them.

The girls fell in to a quiet conversation, as I glanced outside to see the storm had quieted to a low murmur, but the threat of it still lingered- both in the weather and beyond, always daring to come back.

The final moments before departure were a blur of activity.

My men moved like a well–oiled machine, hauling bags, securing gear, and double–checking every detail with sharp efficiency.

The gravity of the mission ahead settled heavier in my chest with each passing second as time ticked closer…
