<b>Chapter </b>114
<b>If </b><b>she’s </b>not <b>the </b>fated mate why would she have the need to pin assault on Cole?”
My youngest son, Larcas, joins the conversation.
Fated mates can tell when their other half is experiencing physical or emotional pain as well as when they are being touched sexually by another <b>woll </b>orice <b>they </b>meet and their wolves recognize each other as mates. It doesn’t matter if she or he wants to be touched, the other half always feels it.”
Are you saying that before the mate’s union ceremony, before she was marked, she had no
lie about cheating because he couldn’t feel <b>it</b>?“.
Parker’s curiosity has gotten the better of him.
“I think Cole trying to warn Andre about his arranged marriage being unfaithful has a lot to do with it. As most betrothal contracts will be nullified if <b>one </b>of the parties engages in rtions outside of the agreed upon rtionship. It’s especially bad if cheating can be proven before the mate’s union ceremony <b>has </b>beenpleted. Usually there’s a financial penalty for the one caught cheating in such arrangements.”
“So after the two of them marked each other, either during or after the ceremony, the moon goddess gifts both of them with the same abilities to feel <b>what </b>the other is experiencing just like you would have with
Your fated mate.” Lilly chimes in with her intimate knowledge of how mate’s, both fated and unfated work.
“Let me get this straight” Patrick has stopped eating again to speak<b>. </b><b>“</b>Before they marked there were no issues with Cole raping this luna?”
Hismentes out sounding more like a question.
ld
“Yes. The usations of rape started about a month after the ceremony. Or at least that’s <b>the </b>first time his father told him <b>he </b>was being beat for raping
her.”
“He reported to his brother that she was a loose woman. Did he see her <b>cheat</b>?”
“Yes. He ims that it started about a month after moving into the pack house<b>. </b>She <b>was </b>very open about making out with both genders but no one else <b>was </b>willing to say anything.”
“Does the mate bond extend to the same sex?”
I look to Lilly on that question, taking another bite in the <b>process</b><b>. </b>
<b>even </b>
“Once the twoplete the mate’s bond then any sexual activity, even something as mild as kissing, can be felt by the other. Being fated mates doesn’t matter once the bond ispleted.”
“Considering what little he was willing to exin about this luna I will concede to the idea that <b>the </b>rumor is possibly false. He’s being used as a scapegoat so she can screw around. But I can’t let go of the possibility that he’s hurting <b>the </b>pups. You said he won’t deny the rumors<b>.</b><b>” </b>
“He reassured both of us that he’s not raping the girls or having inappropriate rtionships with them of any <b>sort</b>. But….”
“He didn’t deny marking them.”
Patrick picked up on my hesitation to admit that part <i>of </i>my conversation with Cole. I sigh as I nod my head.
“He doesn’t deny marking them and he refuses to go into any details as to what the exact nature of his rtionship is with them beyond the fact that <b>he’s </b>protecting them.”
I look up at Patrick as he chokes on his tea.
“Protecting them?” He shouts as he gains his breath back. “How can marking them protect them? He’s hurting them and he’s really fucked in <b>the </b>head if he <b>sees </b>it as something different.”
I hold my hand up stopping Patrick from going any further into his tirade.
“I linked with Ang on my way out here and while <b>it’s </b>extremely rare and I will have to take <b>some </b>time <b>to </b>confirm <b>it</b><b>, </b><b>she </b>reminded <b>me </b><b>of </b>something <b>we </b>
<b>Chapter </b>114
<b>had </b>vaguely heard <b>about </b><b>in </b><b>medical </b><b>school</b><b>. </b>That there is such a thing as a protection mark
<b>Silence </b><b>has </b><b>washed </b>over the table as <b>I </b>continue.
“If <b>what </b><b>Cole </b>is saying <b>is </b>true. I don’t believe he fully understands the significance of what he’s doing?
“<b>What </b><b>do </b>you mean the significance of what he’s doin’s marking them without understanding what it’s doing to the <b>pups</b><b>? </b>
Patrick has calmed slightly with the news of the possible existence of protection marks.
<b>“</b>Once again, if he’s being truthful about his involvement with the pups, then I believe his knowledge is limited to the fact <b>that </b><b>it’s </b>protecting <b>the </b><b>young </b>females. That it’s discouraging the older males of his pack from raping them.”
We <b>eat </b>in silence as everyone takes in what little has been discussed.
