1close my eyes as silent tears fall. I will nevet admit to it but my father’s abuse has been getting worse over the Inst two years. Enough that I struggle every morning to get out of bed as fcan’t help but wonder ff that day is the day he’ll put an end to my misery.
“I need you to connect with the bond. Let it rx you, calm you so that my read on you doesn’t hurt. You’ll feel me because of your sensory sensitivity but I really want to make this painless and I need you to rx for that.”
I take a deep breath, letting it out slowly. I can hear alpha in the background talking with Dr. Pierce.
“Radiology wasn’t a strong subject for me in med school but considering he’s never had cracked ribs before it certainly does look like he has them now. Is that all he’sining about?”
“He’sining about his wrist and ankle as well but Jessa didn’t get strong pain signals from those areas.”
“She’s wrong dad. How many times have I got to tell you to stop relying on that bitch?”
I cringe and whimper as I hear such a hateful word being directed at my mate. I feel her hand, gentlyid upon the side of my neck as I attempt to push myself up.
“No, Cole. You will stay with me.”
She speaks calmly as my wolf rages inside me. I cringe and whimper again as I close my fist around the sheet on the bed after a hard p echoes through the room.
“If you ever refer to a female in my pack as a bitch again I will do more than p it out of your mouth.”
“Come on dad. She’s a wolf. By definition she’s a….
“No.”
For some reason I’m having a terribly difficult time just listening to this interaction between them.
“She is an alpha and you will treat her with dignity and respect. Calling any wolf in my pack a bitch, I don’t care if it’s a non–shifting omega, is a disrespect I will not tolerate. Am I understood?”
“Dad, tons of packs call females by that name.”
“Yes, I have visited packs that use the term and I have never encountered a single one that uses it in a demeaning manner. You will respect the fact that we’re not one of them.” I hear him growl out.
“Anyway,” Dr. Pierce gets them back on the subject they were on.
“As a precaution, Jessa did rmend getting X–rays of those as well. I’m not seeing anything on either.”
“Considering I have a report that he sparred with multiple warriors and prospects before forcing Cole to spar without equipment for any of those involved, I’d like you to send all his X–rays and those we get on Cole to Dr. Fawn at General. He will have the final say. Set him up with a brace for both his wrist and ankle. He’ll be on house arrest outside of school hours for the next three weeks.”
“Three weeks! What the hell dad? How dare you believe him over me!”
“Enough! I will not tolerate your continued targeting of Cole. Right now your punishment is three weeks on house arrest. Your mother, brother or I will take you to the bus stop and one of us will escort you home. No training or other activities will be allowed during that time frame. You will either be locked in your room or helping your mother or myself. If the video footage confirms the information that I have received and you actively forced Cole into sparring then you will be punished for assault.
Keeping with sensitivity towards Cole I will give you the choice. If I find you have assaulted Cole again you may choose between ten bare bottom hits with Patrick handling the belt or two additional weeks on house arrest. I will let you know when your decision needs to be made but in the meantime your mom will be escorting you to your room for the rest of the day. We wille get you for dinner.”
I hear a frustrated growl before the movement of feet outside of my field of view.
“Take a seat.” I hear a feminine voice growl.
It must be luna, I had almost forgotten she was here.
“Is there anything else going on with Lucas, Ange?”
