Chapter 233

“Why would you want to protect me?” He whispers, shocked that anyone would even care.

“For the same reason you protect the pups in your pack.” I hold my hands out to him again.

“Come to me. I want you to relax so you can comprehend the change in the terms of your run with me.”

His eyes are wary, searching within mine for the lies he’s heard before. Fearful and exhausted, he places his hands in mine. Before he can step towards the 1 close the gap between us. I can feel the tremors in his body as he grabs ahold of my shirt. I wrap my arms around him, pulling him into a hug as he lays his head upon my shoulder.I hold him gently, waiting for the room to relax with the news of my sudden change.

“As we were discussing before, I am changing Cole to an off book run. Normally, I go with a semi off book run which means that all information about the prospect comes to me and I document two separate files but I keep the run by the book. The majority of prospects that have come for a run that I discovered were abused ended up with this type of documentation.

Semi off book does not require the prospect to know that it’s occurring as everything else stays the same. It’s only in the worst situations, the ones that are life threatening, that I will take a prospect completely off the books.”

“Have you done that before?”

म

“Yes, Damian. Out of the twenty–four wolves before Cole, I’ve taken four completely off the books.”

“You really think I’m that bad off?”

“Don’t you?”

I can’t help but whisper, shocked at the idea that he wouldn’t see it the same way

“Your father can access your file at any time. If he’s capable of injuring you to the extent you are right now then there’s nothing he won’t do to you. I need

to make certain no one knows until I have you safe.” you to talk to me and the only way I can get the level of trust needed for you to open up

“He’ll never let me go.”

“That’s why I need you to talk to me. I already have the photographic evidence of the injuries he caused you. What I don’t have is the complete story behind it. I’ve managed to put together a general timeline of what happened but that is based on a mix of what Dallas has said, what the evidence is showing me, and what you’ve given me. You have managed to admit that your father is the main abuser and he’s started getting your oldest brother involved in it. Your brother is the one responsible for your head laceration and concussion. You also told me that your current injuries come from a singular beating and that

but I still don’t have the complete you were chained while he did it. Lastly you told me the reasons he gave your brother for the beating being so severe story. The cuts and bruises all over your body are obviously excessive force. The burn on your leg and the needle Angela dug out of your neck, they are torture but I can’t protect you from your pack without knowing what happened to you. I won’t stop trying to find another way but the quickest and safest way is for you to talk. I’m hopeful that by taking you off book I can gain your trust and keep you here.”

He leans into me harder as he squeezes me closer, I can barely hear the whine he’s trying to hide despite being next to my ear.

be a lot easier on you.”
