<b>Chapter </b><b>303 </b>


    There’s something about what I’ve said that’s attracted his attention away from what I’m doing. He opens his eyes and looks into mine. There’s a hint of curiosity beneath the fear.


    “Would it help if I tell you about myself? I realize that we’re quite simr as well as very different despite having difficult pasts.”


    “Did you ever know love?”


    He barely whispers his question but alpha and I both hear it. I can feel the sorrowing from alpha and I know it’s because of his question to me.


    “Yes Cole. My parents were very loving. They didn’t understand my gift. My ability to feel other wolves‘ pain and emotions. They didn’t understand the ease at which I could defy even them. I believe they simply assumed that they had a beta or alpha when they were both deltas but my ability to defy our alpha scared


    them.”


    “Why? The moon goddess gives all wolves the power of free will. Any wolf can defy the alpha in cases of self preservation and immoral acts against others.”


    “Actually, the moon goddess causing pain to anyone who disobeys a higher rank is just a myth. I don’t know if it ever actually existed. I just know most parents of lower ranks raise their kids to believe it.”


    I smile gently at alpha’s interruption as I have stopped moving my right hand on his left temple and I’ve introduced my left onto his right. He’s allowed himself to rx enough that he’s closed his eyes again and is leaning into my right hand.


    “Cole, I don’t want to surprise you with where I need to touch to read you. I’m actually enjoying your reaction to me so far but I will need to touch your neck.”


    !


    I feel him tense up with a subtle whine at the thought.


    “It’s not going to hurt you. Do not fight. I’m not going to stay just yet but it will calm your fears to feel what it will be this time.”


    I can tell he’s getting weaker as only his adrenaline seems to be keeping him awake. I slide my fingers along his temple to the back of his head, bringing my hand down slowly until my palm is against his neck but my fingers are cradling the back of his head. Without even focusing on him, thebined touch points give me a glimpse into his body and I’m ovee with the pressure of his pain and the tingling sensation that I’vee to know as silver. I end up staying longer than intended but the weakness I feel from him is a warning I can’t ignore.


    “Cole, you’re doing extremely well with my touch. Stay still and rxed. You are one that will feel my presence but it should not be painful or overwhelming. My touch is going to stay exactly like this.”


    I lean my forehead against his as my voice bes distant. My consciousness separates into two and half of me dives slowly into Cole.


    Once again I’m immediately overwhelmed but this time I’m not looking for everything. I’m looking for the one thing that doesn’t make sense to me right now.


    I concentrate solely on the tingling of the silver trying to tease out his individual body parts trying to find one that I can examine without removing his clothing. The confusing thing is, it’s literally everywhere. I can’t find a single ce on <i>his </i>body that doesn’t have silver. Finally 1 hit his forearms. I didn’t realize it before but it’s there as well. It’s not as heavily concentrated but it is there.


    I pull back slowly as such a long read is physically exhausting anding out too fast will cause me to pass out. It’s as I’m backing out that I feel the wound near his neck. It also tingles like silver but at a much lower rate. As soon as I’m back I move my hand from his neck to his head, offering himfort as I know strong submission responses make my reads quite difficult to handle.
