Chapter 213
He pulls away from me but his head is bobbing, almost as if he is fighting sleep but I can tell that it’s different. His refusal to open his ever is having ite the negative effect on him and he keeps moving towards Madilyn as if he wants to scent her..
“Wait, what? What did Lucas tell you that makes you think Demetti would do such a th
“That his father would never leave Madilyn with someone who would hurt her. That the pack house was in a frenzy searching for her.”
I can’t help but glare at Lucas, who is the only one nonchalantly eating his food at this point, everyone else has stopped,
“I saw you with Madilyn before you stopped and tried to sit with Jamie. I will admit that it made me nervous to see you coming from the dorms to the playground in a change of clothes but I know better than to attack you. That’s not the way this pack works.
No, I linked with Demetri and he told me that he and Lilly felt it would be good for both of you to be with each other. That you respond extremely well to pups. That you’re very caring and protective of them. Cole, please. Open your eyes and look at me. I’m going to do a partial to change my eyes so that it’a easier for you to adjust to.”
He stills his movements but I can’t tell if he’s trying to do what Patrick has asked.
“It took me four years to be able to use my eyes during a partial shift. I discovered quite by accident, that looking at the eyes of another wolf with black–out eyes allowed my eyes to adjust quicker to my surroundings than if I just forced them to open. Based on your reaction I believe you’ve shifted like this before but you haven’t had anyone with experience to help you with it.” He nods his head slowly against my arm.
*Open your eyes slowly. Look straight ahead at Luna but slightly up so that you can see me. If they start to hurt then you shut them and start again when you’re comfortable.”
I watch my beta interact with Cole, even if it is at a distance I do feel that it’s progress from two nights ago when he was completely against Cole even staying here.
A sudden sharp whine and a harsh duck into my arm reminds me of what is going on.
“That was a good first try with me, Cole. Give it a minute for the sting to die down then we can try again.” Patrick instructs.
“Did you see his eyes?” Patrick and Lilly both nod.
“He’s a black–out and it’s going to take some time and persistence to get him used to how his eyes function when he’s in both a shift and a partial shift.”
“You had issues when you were shifted?”
“Full shift wasn’t nearly as bad because I was working with my wolf’s eyes over completely black but they were still quite sensitive. I actually avoided partial shifts for a long time, even after I got through the most painful part of the process. Are you ready to try again, Cole?”
“No.” I interrupt before Cole can answer. “He already has a significant concussion between what happened to him Saturday and what Lucas did this morning.”
“Yes sir.” Patrick responds quietly. He closes his eyes, then opens them back, revealing his light brown eyes.
“Cole.” I start rubbing his head again. “Madilyn is sleeping. I don’t think those cramps are bothering her anymore. Can you get out of the partial?” He shakes his head again causing concern.
“What’s wrong, Cole? Why can’t you get out of the shift?”
“He’s not satisfied. He thinks she’s going to cramp up again like the other girls. I can feel his desires but he has it all wrong. He won’t listen to me. Please alpha. Take her from me.”
“Fighting your wolf is unnatural, Cole. You’ve been taught to fight your instincts when it comes to him. Relax with him. Duck you head down to Madilyn’s neck. There’s nothing sexual about scenting a child. Parents do it all the time.”
I try to guide him into her neck.
