Chapter <b>225 </b>
(Demetri POV)
I’m stunned in ce as Cole backs away from the table. Considering the effort it took for him to get out here, I’m surprised he’s even standing, el dine that he’s cradling Madilyn protectively to his chest.
‘Do not move. He’s going to take off but he’s going upstairs. He’s in no condition to do anything else. Keep Lucas in his seat and the path to the stain clear.‘
1 link with Patrick, Parker and Damian. To my relief, I see Patrick move behind Lucas<b>, </b>putting his hands lightly on his shoulders.
Cole’s eyes are darting wildly making me wonder how the young man can evenprehend what he’s seeing. No matter, he seems to see what he needs to take off into the foyer towards the stairs.
Ang, Lilly; Cole is headed upstairs with Madilyn.‘
I stay seated, steepling my hands, thinking deeply about the information Cole just shared. What kind of hell has this young man been living in? What kind of mental torture has he had to endure? To be the one forced to go into their rooms, to untie them as they fight and scream. To see their broken, battered bodies. To find out they had killed themselves after Das forced them to abort his pup in the cruelest way possible.
He admitted that the pups of his pack are indeed being molested and raped. I just have no way of putting his acknowledgment of seeing the damaging results of such treatment in the pups with the fact that he’s providing protection marks for them.-
Which brings up another question, does he even realize that the marks are protecting them? Or is his knowledge confined to the fact that it relieves the symptoms? Did he even say? I can’t remember. Which is why I recorded it. I need to revisit it, transcribe it for future use.
Then there’s his knowledge of Melody. How does he know after such a short visit from ten feet or more away that she’s a pre–<b>shift</b>? That they <b>had </b>unprotected sex<b>? </b>
Considering he’s interacting on a regr basis with seven to fifteen year old girls, it’s understandable that he would recognize her age but his <b>ability </b>to detect semen on her or worse, in her? Shock doesn’t even begin to describe the feelings I have.
Cole’s yelp echoes through the foyer. The only reason I stay seated is because I had heard Ang’s footstepsing from the west wing. Her voice is too quiet for me to understand, reassuring me of her ability to calm him when I know I’m far too angry to do so<b>. </b>
“I’m heading to bed.” Lucas suddenly deres trying to stand from the table.
“No, you’re not. You will remain at the table until I take you to your/room.”
My voice is calm, but firm with a monotonous tone.
“And when will that be? I’m tired.”
“When Cole is asleep or once you tell me who you’ve been having sex with.”
“I’m not telling you about Melody or the others <b>I’ve </b>slept with.”
He has a dangerously daring tone to his voice, pissing me off even further as I cringe from Cole’s yelps. They are muffled by the fact that he’s upstairs <b>in </b><b>his </b>room but they are as painful to hear as it is to feel my stomach churning wildly with the stress he’s in. I sigh heavily before turning my attention back on Lucas.
“You and Damian both are under the same strict rules. When each of you turned sixteen, I sat you down and talked at length, not simply about what sex was and how to do it but thews of the pack and my own strict rules. I made it clear that <b>sex </b>before adulthood was a privilege not a right and as long <b>as </b>you’re under twenty–one and living under my roof you will follow my rules. First rule being, as an alpha, you can only have sex <b>with </b>shifters delta level or higher. Having sex with a gamma or omega can be misconstrued as rape by coercion because of the fank difference<b>. </b>You can pregnancy with a non–shifter which tends to be high in those ranks. Getting a non–shifter pregnant with an alpha’s pu
“I know this dad!”
“Well you’re running the same unnecessary risk by having unprotected sex with a pre–shift!”
<b>into </b>the risk of idental kill both of them.”
