Chapter <b>299 </b>
Cole finally looks my way on his own.
“You’re admitting me? Sending me to General? I’m that bad?”
His voice is quiet and quivers with fear.
“I’m sorry Cole.”
I whisper as I nod. He looks down to the ground as his body sways in ce. He shakes his head whispering to himself.
“This can’t be happening. I can’t be this bad off. I can’t do this again. Please, Moon Goddess not again.”
“Cole?”
Alpha speaks as he slowly reaches for Cole’s arm. He startles badly and nearly falls over as alpha grabs his elbow. He yelps loudly startling everyone as alpha gathers him into a gentle hug. Madisyn and Madilyn can both be heard crying softly as he tries to calm Cole’s fears.
“Damian, bring the chair over. It would be best if I can get him to sit in it while he’s up instead of trying to move him again.”
Damian carefully navigates the wheelchair over to his father as alpha gently persuades Cole towards the chair before getting him to sit down in it.
“Jessa, we need to get started with your deration.”
Cole looks at me again, immense fear and pain in his eyes. Alpha is kneeling by the chair holding Cole’s hand as Cole struggles to calm himself.
“I’m sorry Cole. This is not something I wanted to do. Alpha has brought me many prospects over the three years that I’ve been here. Many have had underlying conditions that they either didn’t know about or tried to keep hidden but none of them needed to be hospitalized.”
My wolf is the most alert she’s been in years and my fear of interacting with an alpha is as strong as my desire to touch my mate. I’m beyond conflicted with what’s going on and how to deal with it properly. I’m slowly making my way over to Cole as I know the possibility of him not surviving this is very
real.
When I step in front of him his head is down leaning against one hand. The alpha is holding his other hand and now that I’m closer I can see that Cole is gently squeezing the alpha’s hand repeatedly.
I reach out timidly, taking his chin gently in my hand. He pulls himself out of my grasp quickly but ends up looking up, into my eyes. He tries to break eye contact with me but I follow his gaze while calmly reaching out to him again.
“Please allow it.”
I whisper as my hand approaches his face. I can tell that it’s a struggle but he honors my wish and allows me to touch the side of his face. He’s shaking badly as he covers my hand with his, closing his eyes as he leans into me.
“I’m not doing this to hurt you Cole. Quite the opposite really. I know the life. Mine’s not as constant or long term but I have known the life you live. The fear and anxiety thates with it. You’ve never had a break from it, have you?”
He shakes his head as I move my hand gently through his hair.
“I’m sorry I’m not the man you deserve to have but I can’t do this alone. I don’t know how I did it the first time but I can’t survive this alone. Not again.”
“Then we need to agree to earn each other’s trust. To work with each other towards amon goal, but you have to let us help you. It’s the only way you will survive this.<b>” </b>
I know my conversation has alerted alpha to the dire nature of the situation. I turn slowly trying to linger as long as I can with my mate as I know I won’t be able to visit him until hees back to the wing.
Alpha stands, cing his hand on my shoulder getting me to make eye contact with him. He reaches into his jeans pocket and pulls out his phone. Flipping silently through the menu before selecting the app he needs.
“All you need to do is hit record and start your statement. I will take care of everything else regarding the council,”
<b>He </b>hands his phone to me before turning and talking to Cole.
