Chapter 125

Demetri’s POV

He remains silent as he tucks his head deep into my neck, his body rattles hard as his ability to maintain his composure disappears.

“I know you’re terrified, Cole. You have every right to be. Your faith is fleeting and your ability to trust is even less which makes this a whole lot harder but I promise you, we are going to do everything we can to help you.”

I whisper as I gently lay my head upon his, holding him as Lilly pets the top of his head.

“Keep your movements slow and gentle, Patrick. I know it’s been a while since you helped us with Ciara.”

“Honestly Dr. Pierce. I don’t think I’ve worked with a prospect as physically injured as Cole coming in. Ciara was rough but that was more mental than physical. Despite being the alpha’s daughter, all he managed to do was make her mean. That’s why I took the lead over Demetri. He saw that she desperately needed help just like Cole does but she was also the complete opposite.”<
