My Human (Kane and Tessa) novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18-1

Tessa’s POV

“Look Tessa… I hope you don’t mind… but he only lets me drink water in here… he locks away all of the good stuff over in the pantry.” I follow Erin in to the neat kitchen, taking note of the fresh cleaning smell and glisten of the worktops as we enter.

He locks everything away from her?

“But why?!” I gasp at her update, shock filling my features as I take note of the heavy padlock displayed upon the door in which she motioned to as being Leo’s ‘holy pantry‘.

“He says sugar isn’t good for us humans… claims that we all get fat too easily!” Erin huffs, as I watch her retrieve two bottles of water from the fridge before coming to join me at the wood table – slumping down in to the chair.

That bastard!

“He’s not the slimmest of males himself! Maybe he should lock that stuff away from himself and give you the key for safe keeping? But I suppose you can’t exactly lock him away from the pub though can you? That beer belly is here to stay folks!” I instantly scoff and begin to rant on in distaste at the cheek of him, having seen him at the dinner and being reminded of some type of ogre when he had first walked in – facial features and all!

“Right? I didn’t realise how much I would miss sugar and it’s not even been a week!” Erin shakes her head, her eyes falling low in

Erin was like a shell of her former self, the once happy and bright girl who could cheer up the mood in any room was now broken and almost destroyed… almost!

I won’t let her go down without a fight! She’s worth more than being destined to a life of eternal hell with Leo!

“So how did you manage to come visit me today, did your Alpha let you?” Erin help but notice the slight quiver in her hands every couple of minutes.

“Well uh… not exactly…” I laugh nervously, suddenly being reminded of my sneaky outing with Seth having not mentioned to Kane where we were actually headed.

Though I will say, Seth didn’t exactly lie did he? He was doing a home visit… we just failed to mention that it was the home in which my best friend was currently trapped in!

“You snuck down here?!” Erin’s eyes widen, as she looks somewhat alarmed at first.

“Tessa he will come looking for you! You don’t have long!” She continues to ramble, as I hush her instantly understanding how all of this sounds.

“Hey… look calm down… he knows that I went out… with Seth… just not to here!‘ I explain, as Erin slowly nods and blinks profusely to digest my words

We certainly don’t need to cause her anymore stress right now… her time here with Leo was enough to cope with let alone thinking that I had run off with the pack Beta to pay her a visit!

Chapter 18-1

“Tell me Erin, what’s it like here? I know that he’s awful… but how bad are we talking?” I lean closer to her, fearing that we might begin to run out of time together and needing more information on her current situation.

“Horrendous would be a word to describe it Tess… I’m so upset that ve landed in this mess… I have the beautiful home, decent pack, live down the hill from you… just all with the wrong damn male wolf! I would take anybody else but him!” Erin’s eyes fill with tears as she recounts her feelings towards her judgement day luck.

I watch her sniffle to contain her tears, before she begins to roll up her jumper sleeve – the scratchy material seeming irritating just from first glance…

Unsure of where this was headed, I perk up a little and watch as more skin comes in to view – before she rotates her arm to display many small red blistering circles all over her skin…

My jaw drops in horror, watching as she swallows hard before repeating the action with her other sleeve – revealing similar marks to the first.

“At first I thought he hated me, and was perhaps irritated for making a bad choice at the judgement day…” Erin trails off, as I shake my head in defence.

“I just thought that… maybe he will keep me around for the two weeks… and then just take me back, you know?” Erin shrugs a

I nod, giving her the space to speak out, as she wets her dry lips momentarily before sighing. “But that was just too good to be true! He claims that I’m just the ‘perfect breeder‘ that he could find and that I will have to do‘ for now.” Erin squeezes her eyes shut, recounting the horrific words he had once spoke as my anger instantly bubbles from deep within my chest.

“He uh… after the dinner… he was so pissed off that I had went to the bathroom with you… and that’s when he began to give me these marks. Although they are little, they hurt like hell!” Erin confirms, sniffling as she glances down at them once more before looking away – pained by the sight.

“I… I’m so sorry! I should have known he wouldn’t like that…” I feel the need to apologise, having felt that I could have at least helped to prevent this from happening to her.

“H–How did he do this?” My question comes quietly, unsure of whether I was prepared to listen to the details or not – but knowing I
