<b>“</b>No, Alpha, It didn’t go over well. Three days after <b>I </b>was taught a lesson <b>by </b>Andre, dad made a special point of publicly reinforcing that lesson <b>in </b>front of Luna Sasha and the higher ranks of the <b>pack</b><b>.</b>”
<b>I </b>can tell by his eyes, breathing and hands that he’s headed into a shback. Since he’s skirting around the exact nature of what these lessons are I <b>don’t </b><b>want </b>him to get too deep. I gently ce my hands upon his fists as they curl around the nket he’s sitting on. He startles me when he yelps, pulling lis hands away and quickly assuming a defensive and protective position with them in front of his <b>face</b>.
1 gently ce my hands on his again, calmly persuading him to lower his defenses. His eyes are filled with fear as I apologize for startling him before encouraging him to continue.
“Per the contract with Alpha Robert the union ceremony happened three weekster, exactly six months after she came into the pack. About a monthter <b>was </b>the first time my dad grabbed a hold of me and told me that I was going to receive physical punishment for sexually assaulting Luna Sasha. Most <b>of </b>the time it takes a lot of evidence for a female to prove that a male assaulted her but when she does manage to.”
He pauses for a moment before surprising me with his next move.
“Luna, are you still here with the little one?”
<b>“</b><b>Yes </b>Cole, I’m still sitting behind you.”
“I know she’s asleep but could you please cover her ears? Tiny ears shouldn’t hear this.”
I peak around his shoulders at Lilly <b>as </b>she adjusts her hold on Madilyn.
“It’s okay to keep going.” <b>I </b>encourage <b>once </b>Lilly has her covered.
“Physical punishment in my pack is quite harsh on everyone. If a she–wolf manages to prove that you sexually assaulted her then <b>you </b>get chained <b>with </b>your hands above your head before he disrobes you from the waist down. Most wolves receive their age on their ass and half their age to their dick with the loop end of the belt.”
“You know wolves that have had this done to them?”
He nods his head slowly as he tries to maintain his emotions.
“But that’s not what I have found on you.”
He again remains silent as he shakes his head no.
“<b>He </b>treats you differently.”
Another nod of his head.
“All Luna Sasha has to do is point the finger and you get punished for raping her<b>.</b><b>” </b>
I whisper as I see the shock wash over Lily’s face<b>. </b>
“What does he do to you Cole? How many hits did you take?”
<b>Even </b>in the dimly lit room I can see the tears fall as he rolls to his side and curls up into a ball again.
I’m shocked at what I’ve found out but it’s the most important details that he hasn’t disclosed that concern me the most. He’s either protecting me <b>from </b>the true harshness of the reality that he lives or protecting himself from the cruelty of such a fresh memory. Either way, I can tell that he’s done, emotionally and physically.
“Thank you, Cole. Jamie will be here soon.”
I whisper as 1 lower the head of the bed back down and take the empty water bottle from his hand. He’s trembling badly as coax him out of the <b>fetal </b>position allowing me to check on the catheter before covering him with a sheet. I go to the fridge and start warming about half <b>the </b><b>amount </b>of form I was
<b>Chapter </b><b>111 </b>
<b>giving </b><b>him </b>earlier. It’s ready <b>to </b><b>go </b>as Jamie is wheeled in.
Lilly <b>gasps </b>at the sight of him as <b>I </b>start giving instructions.
<b>“</b>Line Jamie’s <b>bed </b>up with Cole’s. <b>They </b>are going to sleep together tonight.”
“Are you certain that’s the best idea?” Ang questions.
“Considering their mental health on their second night here and they’re both in the hospital, absolutely.”
I help Lilly stand with Madilyn <b>so </b>she can start making her way up to our little girl’s room. I gently roll Jamie to his side supporting his chest with my arm.
“Jamie, if you can hear <b>me </b>it’s really important that you trust me. We <b>are </b>going to pick you up and put you with Cole for the night. You <b>are </b>safe Jamison. <b>No </b>one <b>is </b>going to hurt you.”
