<b>Chapter </b><b>295 </b>
1 focus myself on just the pain he’s feeling, starting slowly with his head and working my way down. I’m shocked to find that the pressure I have on his neck is actually hurting him. Most adult wolves find it ufortable but not overly painful.
“Alpha, hold his hands. I need you to providefort as 1 deepen my connection with him.”
“What’s going on Jessa? I’ve seen you get a lot harder on adults without getting my help.”
I’m not in a full connection yet so my senses are split making my voice sound differently. I’ve been told that it sounds dreamy when I’m like this. With what vision I have I can tell that alpha has given me what I’ve requested. He’s taken Cole’s right hand, the one closest to me that he’s notying on<b>, </b>and is <b>using </b>his other hand to gently rub the back of his head.
“Alpha, I need you to make a note in his file that Cole has sensory processing disorder.”
I can hear Lucas in the background snicker before a p and a soft “ow” is heard.
“I thought all werewolves have SPD?”
“Yes. All pups are born with it. All pups have their wolves at birth which is why all parents can link with their kids at birth and kids can connect with their parents by two. SPD in pups is normal because the wolf side has heightened senses that the pup is learning to utilize. 95% of pups will essentially grow out of the hypersensitivity after they’ve started shifting regrly. To find it in an adult over twenty is very rare.”
“I guess that’s why pups aren’t actually diagnosed with SPD as it’s generally epted that they are hypersensitive?”
“For the most part. It’s taken some time to do, but in general most doctors now understand that children feel things differently. With Cole retaining his SPD into adulthood, it does make medical procedures a lot more difficult for him to handle as he has an exaggerated pain response.”
“Which means the pressure you use to connect with adults is painful for him?”
“Yes. Cole, you’re already doing very well with the pressure I have on your neck. I need you to continue like this. I need to increase my pressure until I make a full connection. Once the connection is made I’ll be able to back off quite a bit which will relieve you of most of the pain you’re feeling but it’s going to
be rough until I connect.”
“I know you can feel my hand Cole. I need you to squeeze as her pressure increases. You must submit, you can not fight. She has to connect so that we can make certain we’re running all the tests you need. We both know time is not on your side.”
Alpha knows the seriousness of the situation, I guess that’s why he called me to help. There was no way either of us could have guessed that he would be my mate, making this so much harder than any adult I’ve ever done this to.
Alpha has purposely tested my abilities so he knows exactly how my readings feel to the average adult werewolf but there’s nothing that can prepare me for a major read on my hypersensitive mate. I know this is going to cause him pain. I just don’t know how muchpared to what he’s already in.
I take several deep breaths before starting again. I still my body and deepen my breathing until I’m nearly in a trance. I increase the pressure of my hold on him slowly and even though he’s too weak to fight that doesn’t keep him from trying.
I can feel his breathing change from fairly calm and even to rapid and distressing. His whining is persistent as he weakly tries to move out of my grasp. The closer I get to the connection the worse I start to feel. His physical symptoms are just as overwhelming as his emotional ones and with the mate’s bond hanging in the background reminding me of who this alpha is it’s a struggle toplete the connection.
It’s only with his pain filled yelp echoing in my head that I realize that I’m exactly where I need to be. My pressure automatically cks off his neck as I only need to maintain my touch on him to continue with the read but even with my hand now gentle on his neck his whimpers persist and it doesn’t take long for me to figure out why.
