“My beta, Patrick, was the one who delivered the ten strikes with the belt to Luke’s backside. He, like Lucas, hire expressed a deep distruar tovaru yan though I believe today’s events may have lightened that up a little he is remaining unchanged”

I can feel him tensing up again at the thought of another member of my pack hating him.

“Hey, bud. Everything is okay. I assumed the worst as well considering they held the same opinion when I talked with everyone Tuesday but Patrick untold me that he doesn’t hate you. The rumors make him nervous and we honestly have never had a wolf like you come through the program

“Everyone keeps telling me that you’ve rescued a bunch of wolves but now you’re telling me I’m one of a kind.”

“Both are true, Cole.”

He’s finally starting to truly relax as I tease the base of his head with my fingertips.

“Patrick isn’t my original beta. Although he returned ten years ago when I started into the prospect program he wasn’t a huge participant as a trainer in the program. It’s only as I started bringing in more wolves that I’ve had to get more people involved.

Over the first six years that I was involved I rescued two dozen wolves from over a dozen different packs. Most of them only stayed a year, myte og befor finding their mate and moving into the pack with them. I don’t know why it stopped but the last four years have been very quiet. It’s only been the last five years that Pat’s been heavily involved with the program. It was at that time that I felt that my inconsistency with trainers was hurting my program and Patrick volunteered to be the main trainer. Two years later, Dominic was old enough to be one and I discovered that the two of them made quite a team. My last run six months ago was Damian’s first time as a trainer and I was hoping to give Lucas a head start but with his willingness to form such a hard ret opinion based on rumors not facts has me rethinking my options.”

“You’re the first to have such a bad rumor blurted out so blatantly, especially on the first day. It feels, to me, as if you’re purposely sent with a wolf that has no shame in ruining any chance you might have at getting away from your pack. You’re also the first one to make it into my medical wing within the first twenty–four hours of arriving.”

“Oh.”

He’s the first in many areas but I kept it as simple as I could while still being honest.

“I hate moving you after you’ve finally allowed yourself to relax but I’d really like to get some food into you.”

“Okay alpha. Can you help me up? It’s gotten a lot more difficult.”

“I sure will.”

I don’t move immediately. I know he doesn’t get this

of attention at home and I just want to give him a bit more before heading out to the dinner

Everyone is seated at the table by the time Cole and 1 emerge from the medical wing. I stop at the table to realize that the only seat left open is the one directly across from Lucas. I scratch at the stubble forming on my chin thinking.

“Damian, can you move over one?” I attempt to rearrange the table.

“He’s already eating alpha. It’s fine. I prefer the end,

He speaks quietly as he takes his seat. I can tell immediately that he’s uncomfortable but I don’t argue with him, on

“So you’re not having to get up and walk around the table, would you like me to serve your plate?”

To my surprise and relief, he hands me his plate.

“Just keep it small.” He requests quietly.
