Chapter 212

Keeping my one hand on his chest i place the other in his hair, slowly and gently encouraging him to lay back against me.

“Cole, I need you to relax and follow my movements. I need you to not just listen but believe in what I am telling you because I do believe that you have been told lies so that you would fear and become overly controlling of your wolf when he appeared.”

“I can’t alpha. Please. Just take your baby.”

“No Cole. You need to understand that your wolf and you are the same. Your wolf has the same innate desires as you. You want to protect and care for these pups in a way that no one else can and while it may be more wild in nature than you want, it was only when you followed your wolf’s instincts that you were able to help those girls.”

“Please” He whispers, his voice becoming even more desperate.

“I need you to relax, Cole. I need you to share control with your wolf. You are correct that you can’t give up control but that’s only because of the condition that you’re in. A full shift right now could kill you. Lay your head back against me. I’m right here. I promise I have control of your wolf. You’re not going to hurt anyone.”

He slowly, with great hesitation, allows himself to change. Allowing himself to lean into my hold and touch. I smile slightly as his aura comes out, strong, and powerful.

He finally moves his head back against me, it’s easy to see that he’s starting to like leaning against my arm as I gently pull him back into me.

“This is much better, Cole. Now, I need you to open your eyes. I need to see what you look like in a partial and your eyes are the quickest way to tell.”

“No sir, I can’t.”

“Why? 1 really do need to see.”

He shakes his head hard as he tries to lean forward away from me again. I press the palm of my hand gently into his chest, discouraging his movements. He whines hard before relenting to my silent request to stay with me.

“Alpha please. Everyone in my pack who has seen me in a partial has screamed in my face before running away from me. I’ve been told that looking at me in a partial is like looking into the face of pure evil, the devil himself.” He whispers sadly.

I draw my fingers through the hair on the top of his head. I look down at Madilyn as she snuggles even closer to Cole, her forehead against his neck. She is completely relaxed in his arms and is sleeping so soundly that I can hear a faint snore.

‘Be patient and keep doing what you’re doing. I’ve got a perfect view.‘ I hear Lilly in my head.

“Cole I’d like you to stay like you are just open your eyes so we can see what your partial shift looks like. We’ve seen all three varieties so nothing is going

to scare us.”

“Three?”

“You’ve never been told?”

“No ma’am.”

“What have you been told about the way eyes look when in a partial shift.” I interrupt their conversation.

“I went to a mixed high school. My father refused to let me take the standard werewolf health classes after I got out of the hospital. He convinced me that I would never shift so I didn’t need to know anything about it.”

“Oh, I see.” Lilly sighs. “There are three types of eyes. The dominant and most common type is where the pupil dilates and makes the majority of the colored part of your eyes disappear. Myself, Damian and Lucas all have that type as does half of all wolves.”

“The second type,” I interject after Lilly, is when the whites of your eyes turn black and your wolf’s eyes replace your normal ones. The most common colors you see are shades of amber and brown, but sometimes you see green or blue. I’m part of the one quarter of wolves that happens to.”

The last type is just as rare as Demetri’s.” Patrick surprises us when he talks. “One quarter of wolver will have blackened eyes. I believe doctor endle calling them black–out eyes. Based on your description, it sounds like that’s what you have but we need to see them before you get out of the panel to verify that’s what you have.” He shakes his head against my arm.

“The light hurts and I already have a headache. Madilyn’s screams didn’t help.”
