“Keep talking to me Cole. It will distract you from the shots, I’m going to take the first one slow but the rest will go fast, in a straight line down you are Just stay still for me.”
I ce his arm in a rxed position so that I can easily ess the muscle<i>. </i>
“Tell me more about what’s going on with this luns. You said you don’t like her. Why? Did she do something to you? Before she started using you of rape?”
He sighs heavily but surprisingly decides to talk.
“Alpha Andre is the next in line for the pack leader. Dad has spent a ton of money going to every pack in the lower forty–eight that has an anmated luna in an effort to find his fated mate. They seeded in finding her but she was the only child of Alpha Oliver in California. Alpha Oliver was very selective about who would take over his pack and found out about my father’s reputation. As a result, he refused to simply ept Alpha Andre as his daughter’s mate, Instead he created a series of tasks to test his character. When he failed all the tests she rejected him.”
He stops a moment as I slowly inject the first shot into his shoulder.
“Deep breaths.” I remind him calmly.
He ducks his face down into Madilyn’s hair as I finish the first.
“Hopefully the rest won’t be quite as nasty.”
I rub his arm gently, helping to break up the sting from the shot.
“What happened after his fated mate rejected him?”
“Initially he refused to ept the rejection but then dad fed him a line about he can’t find his second chance mate if he doesn’t ept.*
“That’s actually a true statement, Cole. You can’t find the second without epting the rejection of the first.”
I state as I inject the first of the supplements.
“Dad had already spent thousands of dors and three years of researching packs to find Luna Sara, he wasn’t going to do it a second time.”
“Oh, I see. He made it sound like he would help search for his second chance mate in order to get him to ept and return home.”
“Alpha Andre was pissed for a long time. Once he realized that dad was done he took it out on the pack, he was twenty–four at the time.”
“How old were you?”
“Eighteen.”
“Sorry to interrupt as you’re doing better than I expected in telling me this story but I need to know what you’re feeling. This is thest of your shots.”
Iy my hand on his forearm keeping him still as <b>I </b>pierce his skin with thest needle.
“Pressure. Like someone’s poking me with their finger.”
He winces slightly as I inject thest one.
“You’ve done extremely well Cole. Stay still so can get these bandages on you then you’re done for a while.”
“Thank you Alpha.”
“Would you like to sit up until Jamie gets back? Angie just told me they’re checking some other things before pulling him out of the scanner.”
<b>“</b>Yes, sitting up would be nice, sir, Can I have some water please?”
“Absolutely. Something to eat, maybe?”
He shakes his head.
“I don’t think I can stomach anything right now, I may have finally gotten out of the panic attack but I’m still not feeling good. I’m sorry Alpha.”
“Don’t be.”
I slip my hands under Madilyn and pull her gently towards the edge of the bed. She whimpers slightly as I pick her up but she settles nicely again once she’s in the arms of her mother,
I help him get onto his back before raising the head of the bed. I hand him a bottle of water once the bed is at <i>a </ifortable incline.
I take a seat on the edge of the bed as he takes a long drink of the water before leaning his head back and closing his eyes. He’s still struggling with the effects of the twilight sleep we gave him several hours ago. I’m pleasantly surprised when he starts telling us about his brother’s luna again.
“Dad waited two years for him to calm down before he started meeting with him again to discuss getting his luna. As councilw states the next in line for the pack can not assume responsibility until he has his mate unless the ruling alpha passes away. The council prefers that fated mates take charge but if you don’t have your mate by twenty–five then you can choose your own.”
