Chapter 209

Demetri’s POV

Once again everyone is silent. I sigh deeply as I know that explaining the seventy-two hour psychiatric observation to Cole is going to be just as devastating but I decide to start elsewhere first.

“Cole, I know it’s devastating but I need to know exactly what your father has said to you this week.”

He shakes his head hard as he whimpers.

“I don’t want to talk about it.”

“I know you don’t want to talk but it’s important that I know. You told me three weeks ago that the second run wouldn’t work.”

He pushes himself up off me. As much as I want to continue comforting him I allow him to leave me.

“He’s been ranting about how alpha’s can kick prospects out of their run for freeloading for days. I didn’t think it was true until your conversation with beta this evening. He’s been non-stop talking about how I’m too weak to complete a real run and he’s given me enough time away to figure out that everyone is the same.”<
