tallyes charging into the room just as I hook the steroid to the port. I quickly leave the bed, intercepting her quietly about a fine fret the bed and quickly use the link.
He’s out of the cycle and breathing normally but with me allowing this very simple interaction between him and Madilyn he’s quite dressed and can’t handle the wrath of a mama wolf. Talk to me, Lilly. What do you know?
He’s going to hurt her. What are you thinking to allow her toy with him?”
Lilly all but screams in my head.
‘I don’t believe the rumors.‘
‘There’s always some truth to any rumor.‘
“When I talked with Jamison he told me a story of how his parents got hurt five years ago while Cole was living with them. He took charge and took care of him and his siblings, a one year old boy and three and five year old girls. He was terrified to wash them and insisted that Jamie be in the bathroom while ber did. When his parents finally got home Cole was sleeping in the girls‘ room with the boy on the floor with him. He flipped out and beggedmie’s father to beat him for washing the kids.‘
“There’s nothing wrong with washing kids that can’t wash themselves.‘ Lilly states quietly through the link.
‘He was eighteen when this happened and the pedophile rumor was already very strong in his pack.‘
She pulls away from me and looks sadly into my eyes<b>. </b>
“It was already established at eighteen?” She whispers.
“To the point that Cole told Jon Jenkins that if he so much as thought he had been inappropriate with his children that he should beat him with the belt around his waist.”
I pause a moment as Lilly watches Cole return to subtly petting Madilyn’s hair. I turn so I’m behind Lilly, moving my head behind her’s so I could whisper.
“Even with me watching him, witnessing every move, he was terrified to touch her. He doesn’t have the behavior of a predator. He has the behavior of a father protecting his young.”
“He was branded at eighteen?”
It seems that she’s still trying to process such a terrible fate.
“Before he was eighteen. I think Jon’s training with Cole started a year before he moved in with the Jenkins. It was well established before then that he had an unusual rtionship with some of the young girls in his pack, He’s constantly getting beaten for his rtionship with them.”
“Then why hasn’t he stopped?”
“Lynnie asked the same thing. He refuses to stop protecting them. Which is the same bodynguage that I’m seeing now with Lynnie.”
She nods her head slowly, I can feel that her body has rxed with my exnation, my judgment of what I see of the young he–wolf.
“He needs your help. I was going to haye Madilyn help coach him through the slow count but she’s finally fallen asleep and I don’t think <b>he’d </b>want her woken up to help him.”
“You want me to coach hims
“I’d like you to interact with him, yes. How did you find out about the rumors
“Several omegas were still setting up lonch when the fight between Das and Jamicon happened. They’d been really forshed about it fuat silking smivest the kitchen staff”
“But it won’t take long for it to infiltrate the rest of the pack. The trouble is, by not knowing how it started it will be difficult to convines atomed that they’re not true.”
“Are youpletely convinced they are not true?”
“I’m neither. I’m giving him a chance to prove them wrong and I told him so when I allowed Lynnie toy with him. I need to see, to know what he really
