<b>Chapter </b>459
Monday, June 25
(Cole’s POV)
It’s been nearly a month since the brawl and despite how quiet it’s be around here I tend to stay in chaos. I just moved back into the pack house yesterday. Alpha ck thought being in the guest wing while the council was here would be too much for me and allowed me to move around. He started me out at Dr. Pierce’s ce but after two weeks Jessa wanted more privacy.
I gave being there a try but without Dr. Pierce or her wolf around her confidence in me not harming her failed. O
Alpha let me know that the council left about three days ago and Jessa helped me move my stuff back into my room. She drove me over to general this morning. They removed the hard cast and reced it with a brace I can remove for showering. She’s been apologizing nonstop
about me moving back. Telling her that I’m okay doesn’t work because of the bond between us.
She knows I’m not and it seems that she feels my moving back into the room alpha gave me is
a set back. I guess it is in regards to our rtionship. How the goddess Diana thought
matching two abused wolves together would work out, I don’t know but I love her all the same.
“Is there a certain ce you want things? I’m sorry, I feel so lost and useless right now.”
“Don’t be so hard on yourself. It’s just going to take a little time to get strength and movement
back to normal in my elbow<i>.</i><b><i>” </i></b>I smile lightly as I push the hair out of her face.
A knock on my door pulls my attention away from Jessa. Looking up at the door I’m greeted by the warm brown eyes of the alpha, leaning against the door.
“Ang said something about youing back to this room. Don’t worry. You will get the time you need once you’re permanently here but we need to start talking about how to get you out and that takes understanding theplex process of getting a ferality trial. I need the two of you to join me, Ang and Julie in my office. You can take a few private minutes to finish what you’re doing but it’s important that we talk.”
We both give a nod as he turns from the doorway. I close the space between us and take the socks from her hands. I pull open the top drawer of the dresser she’s in front of and ce the socks in with the rest. She mouths a quiet ‘oh‘ as not all of my clothes were packed when <b>he </b>sent me to be with Dr. Pierce.
It was a fitting move considering the help I needed the first week after I broke <b>my </b>arm. I don’t remember ever being in <b>a </b>cast let alone <b>one </b>that <b>kept </b>my elbow from moving. <b>I </b><b>ended </b><b>up </b>
staying at General three days before Dr. Fawn was satisfied that the cast provided enough support that my bones would mend without surgery to pin them together. Alpha had half my stuff packed and took me straight to Dr. Pierce’s ce when I got out. He felt that it would be better than me being in my room for a few days than having to move. We finish up putting my stuff away before I tten and fold my pack so it fits neatly in the closet.
“Are you ready?” Jessa’s voice floats through the air.
“No but it has to happen some time<b>.</b>”
I look over at her standing beside the bed. I close the closet door so I can open the bedroom
door wider. I stop and look at the brand new sneakers that alpha got for me once he measured
my feet. It’s been years since I’ve had the pleasure of wearing new shoes. Normally I have to
find some under worn pair in the donation closet as the money I made during my
apprenticeship with Jon I wasn’t allowed to keep. Something about how the alpha’s son doesn’t
need money.
I ultimately decide to leave them at my door as we’re only going down the hall to alpha’s
office. I hold the door and gesture for her to leave first. We walk together to the office. The
little bit of time we had at Dr. Pierce’s ce together rxed me a lot when it came to
interacting with Jessa. Once again I’m allowed to rely on my instincts as to what she needs. It’s
a lot easier to touch her and hold her. Even simple kisses are rxing now, perhaps that’s why
alpha wants her toe too.
