He squeezes down hard on my hand as he curls into a ball around Madilyn. His sobs are silent but rack his entire body. <b>It </b>gave me something to give the council but nothing that I feel can be used right now. Without proof that he isn’t a pedophile something like this could easily <b>be </b>misinterpreted andnd him in jail but I can definitely use it to prove other things if his father makes good on his threat and uses this information to ckmail him back to the pack.
I hold him as he cries, moving my hand in light circles trying to figure out how to get him to open up like this on what happens during these beatings. That’s the information that I need in order to set him free from the hurt and torment.
Silently I thank Diana that Madilyn’s cramps haven’t started back up from his stress. He needs this release more than any beating he feels he deserves and I’m so graciously thankful that Lilly stayed put even though she thought I was going to punish him as well.
I stay with him well after the sobs have stoppedforting and consoling him the best I can. It’s only as his hand cks and his breathing slows <b>to </b>a steady pace that I attempt to move away from him.
I remove and trash the IV from Madilyn as <b>I </b>silently gesture to Lilly to head out the door. I pick my phone up from behind themp before turning <b>the </b>app off. I stop a moment at the bed gazing silently upon such <b>a </b><b>sweet</b><b>, </b>young soul being so mercilessly tortured. Giving Madilyn a gentle kiss<b>, </b><b>I </b>cover the two <b>of </b>them up before heading out the door.
It’s as we exit the west wing of the pack house that Lilly finally starts <b>to </b>speak.
“He admitted to marking them.”
Her voice is as incredulous as I feel.
“He didn’t mean too.”
She nods as I continue.

“He spoke of hurting them several times. I had a feeling, since he was already that close to admitting it, that it might <b>slip</b><b>.</b><b>“</b>.
“Why did you record him?”
She asks as I guide her towards the office wing.
“The two additional injuries we found tonight. I want as much information as he’s willing to give. I won’t submit anything without his knowledge but I want to have it just in case.”
“What can you do with this one? It sounds so incriminating.”
“Taken <b>out </b>of context, it is. But the fact that he’s providing protection marks for a dozen or more girls does not look good on Alpha Redmen.”
“Why is that? Have you found information on the protection marks?<b>” </b>
“I haven’t been able to find much yet. Information on them is scarce but I think that’s because of the rarity of finding someone who is of pure enough <b>heart </b>to provide it. Taking this information to the council without proof of his ability to actually provide such a mark could prove extremely dangerous for Cole.”
I ce my hand on Lilly’s back, guiding her into my office.
“It’s <b>eleven </b>o’clock at night, Demetri. We’ve got another long day tomorrow. Come to bed.”
I smile gently at my luna. That is one thing she has never disappointed me on, her desire to cuddle.
<b>“</b>We can sleep in here if you wish or give me five minutes and we can head up stairs.”
“You know I don’t like the girls that far from where I’m sleeping.”
“The girls are split right now. How are you going to manage that one?<b>” </b>
<b>I </b>state with a chuckle as I wake myputer up.
“Madilyn has Cole, she’s fine.”
I smile the widest grin she’s seen since the young man has arrived here.
“What’s that for?”
She smiles back. I lean over my desk towards her. She meets me halfway for a long sensual kiss before we break up, breathless and smiling.
“You’re willing to see him as I do. Thank you. He needs this. Beyond what he even understands. He needs to be with those who are willing to give him a chance. To get away from where he’s at.”
