Chapter 105

“Cole, I’m not mad or upset with you. This wasn’t exactly planned. I tend to follow my instincts when it comes to situations like this. When Lynnie came looking for me after she’s been uneasy all day I felt that allowing the two of you to lay together would help both of you in different ways. Lynnie, do you want to lay with Alpha Cole and help him with these shots?”

“Don’t force her alpha. I’ve already upset her enough.”

“There’s no force here Cole.”

“I’m sleepy.” Madilyn manages to talk through her yawn.

“Can you do something for me Madilyn?”

I’m shocked that he’s talking directly to her so soon.

“Sure,” she says, yawning again.

“Will you drink one of those protein drinks that’s in the fridge? You’re too young to not eat something.”

“Okay. Can I sleep with you?”

“It’s up to you and your dad.”

“I want to help you. Don’t be afraid of me.”

She climbs off my lap and finds the mini fridge in the room before coming back with a drink.

“Can you help me?”

She asks handing me the drink. I shake it quickly before opening it and taking a small gulp.

“Hey, that’s for me.”

She shrieks playfully as I hand her the drink.

I set her back up on the bed so they have a chance to get used to each other. She watches him closely as she drinks the chocolate protein drink. His eyes are closed but I can tell by the way he’s breathing that he’s nervous and trying hard to remain in control.

“Try to relax Cole. I’m allowing this to happen.”

He moves his hand into his hair. I can tell this is stressing him but there’s something about his behavior that is encouraging me to continue as I do believe this will help him.

“May I lay with you, Cole? I feel sleepy.”

“If you want to, sweetpea.”

He whispers as he’s still quite sedated and upset,

I watch as Madilyn moves closer to his chest, laying her head on his arm.

“May I touch you? I won’t ever hurt you. All I ever want is to protect you, care for you.”

“But why? I have mommy and daddy for that,”

“Because it’s something I’ve never had.”

little more now that I’m not so close though the trembling in his hand can easily be seen.

“It’s okay. I’m not scared. You’re shaking. Are you still scared?”

I can hear the concern in Madilyn’s tiny voice as Cole barely touches her hair.

“I’m sorry sweetpea. I promise it’s not you I’m afraid of. I can’t control the shaking but I’m usually good at hiding it when I’m not so sick.”
