Chapter 346

“The power?” I can’t help but question.

“Yes sir. It was when she brought me Annabel that she told me that not only did the marking relieve her intense pain and overwhelming fatigue but it prevented the pack members from assaulting her. She begged me to provide that same relief to Annabel.”

“Now you said before that your father discovered these marks and called you to his office about a week after you did it. You also mentioned just a few minutes ago that he started punishing you monthly. What made you believe, other than the timing, that he was punishing you for the markings?”

“Whenever he punishes me he rants about what I’ve done wrong. ‘You filthy rapist, how dare you mark a pup.

Tends to stay with you awhile.”

He stays silent for a minute after finishing the statement. I remain quiet as well, giving him a minute to digest

the memories of such atrocities.

“I understand the purpose behind the markings, the reason they look for you when you’re gone. When I was on rotation at different packs I ran into a pack where women and children were abused in much the same way you see at your pack. Every week they had young girls in the hospital in debilitating pain. It took me a long time to digest that these young girls were in heat before their first shift. It was even worse to find out that there was little the hospital could do to relieve their pain outside of strong IV painkillers that often sedated them.”

He speaks quietly and shamefully acknowledging yet another issue that he’s been dealing with. I reach out and grab his hand. He whines slightly as he tries to pull away, looking directly at me for a moment when he can’t.

“What do you know about this case he’s building against you?”

He stares at my face, his eyes darting from side to side in an effort not to look directly in them. I stand from my seat, covering his eyes with my hand without touching his face.

“Slow down Cole. I can’t help you if I don’t know the whole story of what’s going on. He’s building a case against you and the only way to prove your innocence is with what you’ve saved on your laptop. I’ve put that much together but I need more information. Please Cole. You’re doing extraordinary. Don’t shut down now.”

“I’m sorry alpha. The more I say the more I feel I deserve to be sent home.”

Talk to me. Please. Give me the chance that you’ve given no one else

I have moved the hand covering his eyes to the back of his head. Ils eyes are closed, his head bowed, yel appears relaxed and comforted by my gentle touch and slow movements. I slowly draw my hand away as His breathing slows and his body visibly relaxes.
