Chapter 212

Cole’s POV

I shake my head almost frantically as the sound of the baby’s cry echoes in my head. I place my hands over my ears as I struggle with what I heard less than ten minutes ago.

“Cole?” Alpha questions again.

“I’m sorry. The cries alpha. I can’t handle it when a pup cries.”

I only manage to stifle half my yelp as alpha pulls me into him. Gently, he encourages me to drop my hands from my ears and lean into him as he calms the panic such a normal thing created.

“As much as you don’t want to, I strongly believe that sitting in on Jessa’s next appointment will help you understand why the baby was crying.”

I stay in his embrace for several minutes before I finally nod my agreement against his neck.

I follow alpha silently back to the medical wing. The door to Jessa’s pediatric room is now open as she’s cleaning up and preparing for the next patient to come in. Alpha knocks politely on the door and waits for her to answer.<
