Chapter 169

Demetri’s POV

“Alpha please no.”

Cole whines as he talks to me for the first time in days. I look up from Cole briefly to see a very worried Caspian slowly push a stool over to where I stand. I give him a gentle smile and nod as I move to sit down without removing my hand from Cole. Once I’m settled I move closer to Cole, placing my other hand on top of the ones tightly gripping his hair. He whines again as I move further onto his neck.

“You’re not in trouble Cole. This isn’t going to hurt you.”

The further on his neck I get the more he whines and squirms. He’s building himself up badly for something painful to happen and I know this is going to be quite rough.

I stand from the chair I just sat in, preparing myself for a battle. I lift the hand on his head, adjusting my position and hoping that he might relax a little. I lean over him, placing my hand on the back of his head, rubbing gently as I place the other hand on top of his again.
