The Son of Red Fang by Diana Sockriter novel Chapter 135

I clear my mind and follow his directions, concentrating hard on this alpha. I want to feel this different aura, to give it a chance but dolors ticis ( confusing and disorienting.

I whine hard as I cover my head again, uncertain as to what’s going to happen next. I hear both alpha and luna sigh. They sound disappointed but i dons understand what I was supposed to feel, increasing the belief that I’ve done something wrong.

I startle badly at alpha’s touch, barely managing to choke on the yelp that tried to escape from within me. Even though I’m fully awake and have tall understanding that I’m at Crimson Dawn, I’m finding it extremely difficult to regulate my emotions.

Somehow I manage to act my age and hide my fear of everyone when I’m home, I take care of myself and the little girls when they need my protection but t have never been able to push aside the fear that seems to always claim me when I’m away from home. I have never truly understood why leaving home has always been so difficult but it is.

“You seem to be better aware of your surroundings now so I’m going to ease myself off of you. Just be still for me Cole.”

I keep my body still so he can move around but it doesn’t keep me from shaking.

“Open your eyes, Cole.”

Alpha’s voice is soft and reassuring as I slowly open them to find him sitting in a chair near my head. He reaches slowly towards my head, yet I can’t control my desire to shy away from his touch. He follows my movements easily as he gently places his hand on the right side of my head, slowly running his fingers through my hair towards the back of my head. I close my eyes not wanting him to see the pain such an innocent gesture is creating. As frightening as I find interacting with this alpha is, something in the way he treats me has unlocked a desire, a longing for his attention that is contradicting everything I have ever known.

I cringe and whimper softly as he passes over the gash in my scalp that was left from Andre slamming me into the counter. It has been struggling to stay sealed and busted back open when I tried to brush the blood out of my hair just a few hours ago. I was too injured to get a bath before I left Red Fang and too sick to get one here making it easy to loathe myself even more for my own weakness.

“Cole, is this a new or old injury?”

I open my eyes as he draws his hand away, my blood staining his fingers.

“Another one?” I hear luna gasp as alpha sighs.

“It happened before the rest of it.” I whisper meekly.

“So you were in a fight before you got beat?” Alpha sounds incredulous of the idea.

“Getting my head slammed into the counter isn’t much of a fight alpha.”

“No, guess not.” He whispers as he rubs the top of my head.

I’m sorry I didn’t realize it earlier. I’ve been smelling a lot of old blood on you but I haven’t tried to find the source of it. I know it’s late but I think you’re overdue for a bath and I have a body wash that also makes for a great shampoo that has both antiseptic and pain relieving medications in it. I would like to help get you cleaned up.”
