<b>Chapter </b><b>352 </b>
<b>“</b><b>Look </b>at me<b>, </b>Cole. You have nothing to be ashamed of and you’re not in any <b>trouble</b>. It’s <b>simply </b><b>a </b><b>recognition </b>of where we’re at in that particr conversation. I don’t expect <b>it </b><b>to </b><b>be </b><b>easy</b>. <b>Thank </b><b>you </b>for sharing with me.”
It’s at the end that I get him back. He lifts his head and looks at me briefly before <b>I </b>start <b>again</b><b>. </b>
“I’m not certain how far you’ve gotten <b>be </b>a great help to me if you girlfriends over so I can go backter and try to identify them.<b>” </b>
With the program but if you’refortable with <b>it</b>, <b>it </b><b>would </b>could scan footage of Lucas’s bedroom and time stamp when he <b>has </b><b>had </b>
He looks into my eyes, searching them. While I will not pretend to know what he’s looking for, <b>it </b>no longer disturbs me like it once did. Once he’s satisfied with what he sees he turns back to theputer, typing and clicking quickly.
“How far back would you like me to go?”
I take the time toy out exactly what I’m looking for in the video feed and he gets straight to work. About four hourster he’s still hyper focused on what I’ve asked minus the handful of times I
forced him to stop.
Every hour I have physically put my hands under his to get his attention and stop his work, insisting that he use the bathroom and take a drink break to rest his eyes. He has said little during this time and I know we’re approaching dinner when Lillyes to the office.
I left the office door open after I retrieved myptop from my room. I underestimated the time it would take for Cole to go through the feed and after the first hour decided to get some of my own work done. I’ve had several pack memberse to me. It was after I returned from my secondary office next door for the third time that he reassured me that unless they needed privacy it didn’t disturb him for them to be there. I ended up with three more visitors after that resulting in me getting nothing done.
I smile and lean into the sideways hug my luna embraces me in once she’s beside the chair in front of my desk.
“I rarely get to see you in this chair.” She teases yfully.
“He appearedfortable in that chair so I just left it be.” I smile before giving her a kiss.
“Seems like I found myself a hacker.” I chuckle lightly, giving Cole a smile when he looks at me.
“Wrap up the feed you’re on if you’ve started a time stamp. It’s time to head out to the dinner
table.”

<b>He </b><b>gives </b><b>me </b><b>a </b>nod <b>since </b><b>he </b>returned his gaze to the sermon<b>. </b>
<b>After </b>several minutes and he’s not showing any signs of slowing, I stand from <b>my </b>seat <b>and </b>make my way around the desk. I sigh hard as he’s gotten right back into the feedpletely <b>forgetting </b>about
<b>dinner</b><b>. </b>
I touch his arms lightly and slide quickly to his wrists, lifting them gently from the keyboard <b>and </b>mouse. I can tell by the video that he’s not currently seeking the other end of the time stamp.
“It’s time for dinner. We’re done for tonight. You wille back to this tomorrow after you’ve <b>had </b>
lunch.”
He finally looks at my face briefly before looking at the floor, his nod is barely perceptible as I <b>step </b>away, giving him space to stand. I’m immediately concerned when his bnce falters as soon as he takes his first steps.
“Are you okay?”
“Just a little stiff, alpha.” He responds softly as he holds onto the chair.
“Do you need any help?”
“No sir. I just need to stand for a minute.”
I wait patiently for him to start moving. Knowing the direction that we’re headed, he starts towards the door shortly after. He makes his way out to the table, stopping just outside the dining room.
“Cole!”
I smile when I hear my girls shout his name, climbing off their chairs they run for the young man. He drops to his knees, catching them as they excitedly run into him. My joy is short lived when I notice how ufortable he is with their desire to hug him.
