Chapter <b>381 </b>
“<b>You </b><b>will </b>stay exactly where you are, how you are. You will remain standing. You will <b>not </b><b>yelp</b>. scream, cry of whimper. You will endure what you deserve in silence. Do you understand my expectations?”
He nods his head as his tears drop to the floor. He has no idea how much this is hurting me but f
couldn’te up with any other way to help him with this.
I slowly step into him. I can see his stress increase as I close in. I push his slumping body up so he stands straight before wrapping my arms around him. He yelps and screams at my contact,pletely confused he pushes hard to get away. I quickly grab his falling pants just before tmand his cooperation.
“You will submit.”
He yelps again as I ce my other hand on the back of his neck.
“You will silence yourself. The only thing you’re allowed is to grab ahold of anything you can and
squeeze.”
His hands immediately tighten around my shirt as his yelps quiet. I change the position of my hand from his neck to his head and silently convince him toy upon my shoulder allowing me to adjust his clothing.
I remain quiet as I hold him. My own tears falling knowing the damage I have done to his trust in <ol><li>me. It doesn’t matter that I haven’t hit him. He believes that I am. That at any moment my hold will </li></ol>
be painfully violent and there’s nothing he can do about it.
While I’m silently cursing his father for such cruelty I’m also thanking goddess Diana that Alpha
Redmen can only hear what’s going on as I don’t think Cole could ever recover if I were forced to
physically punish him.
I hold him gently, silently waiting for something about him to change telling me his father has left him. It feels like forever even though I know it’s only been a few minutes.
As I pet the back of his head, I can feel his fear radiating through my fingers. He’s starting to whimper again and I know he’s quickly falling apart. I take a chance, not knowing if his father is actually gone.
“Cole, you need to give me a sign that he’s gone. If he’s still with you I need you to give me a solid
squeeze.”
He changed his grip on my shirt from solid to grasping a minute or two ago. I’m hoping that it’s his signal that he’s trying to recover from a mental onught he should have never had to endure. I give

“<b>Can </b><b>you </b>verbally tell me he’s gone?”
“Yes.” He whispers.
“He is gone?” I hate repeating myself but I have found it to be necessary for emphasizing what I <b>need </b>with wolves like Cole.
<b>“</b><b>Yes</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>He manages again but with lessposure.
“I’m sorry, Cole. You did not deserve in any way what you just went through.”
I change my hold, cuddling him even closer to me as his whines increase.
“I know this was hard and I don’t think getting you to talk is going to be easy but it is necessary<b>. </b>I need you to tell me what’s been happening to you this week. I know you’re bound to have a lot of emotions that you normally don’t get to express after such a hard thing happens so I am pushing you again to spar with me.”
“No, no. Please I can’t handle the panic thates from hitting on top of this.”
He pushes himself up off of me and this time I let him go. His gaze is stuck to the ground as he shakes his head.
“Alpha please, I can’t.”
“Will you talk freely about what happened? So far the most information I’ve gotten from you has been while you’re angry. A lot of truth rears its ugly head when you’re angry. We have your pads now. Ang and Julie will be there as well to help you through the fallout. Anyone here that wants
toe can.”
“I asked Julie to clear out the annex so it’s private outside of who you bring over.”
Ang adds in. I had actually forgotten she was standing there.
