Chapter 247

“Dr. Carter.” I whisper as everyone remains silent. “Things have been getting worse for the last three years, ever since I had the apprenticeship with Jon. So closer to four really. I think he regrets letting me move in as it showed me the world that everyone deserves to live in. He’s made it a point to separate my world from theirs as harshly as possible and he’s used the prospect program to convince me that all packs are the same.
Dr. Carter has been begging me over the last three years to let him help me. That he could get me out by transferring me to White General. Red General is a shitty hospital that’s behind on their technology because dad won’t invest in it like the White brothers do, so when a wolf comes in on death’s doorstep they get transferred to White General. He said he’s helped many wolves escape as he’s a member of the White Moon pack.
Alpha Andrew White is supposed to be a very kind and caring alpha who despises my father. Rumor has it he’s been buying land in Vermont in order to move his entire pack away from the chaos dad has created by letting the Red Fang pack run wild.”
Alpha has taken a seat at his desk and appears to be writing. I wait patiently for him to finish.
“When you first got here, Jamie asked why wouldn’t you leave. You responded with being unable to abandon Jamie, Alex and their families. Now I understand your concerns for Jamie and while I will not detail to you my meetings with Jamie, as I have only recently been alerted to the danger he’s in, I can assure you that he will be cared for properly. His family as well. That brings me to Alex, or Dr. Carter. If he’s a member of the benevolent White Moon pack, why is he and his family in danger?”
“Red General is located just inside the border of Red Fang, only a few miles from both of the western most edge of White packs’ borders. While he’s a member of White Moon, so he can link with Alpha Andrew, he lives in the neutral territory between the two White packs. With him working at Red General….”
“He’s seen more as a rogue than a member and any of the three alphas can implement punishment.”
I nod my head, agreeing to his assessment.
“Has Alex ever detailed what he would do if you accepted a transfer to White General?” I shake my head.
“It seems that each year things get a little worse and this past year has been quite hard on me. It feels a lot like when I was a teen. Things started getting really bad around thirteen and kept building up until my fifteenth birthday, then he hit me with a penalty I’ll never forget.”
I whine hard, raising my hands to my head as my own screams echo through my head. Why did I share that?
“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to speak of that. Oh, goddess I don’t want to remember.”
I can feel Jessa moving in my lap and this flash back is causing me to panic and overreact. She yelps as I grab her harshly.
“No! Don’t leave me! Please Jessa, I know I’m scary when I’m panicked but I need you. Please I need a ground. I don’t want to be back there. Not again. Never again.”
I’m damn near crying as I struggle to orient myself to the proper space and time that I’m in yet somehow her voice reaches within me and pulls me back.
“I’m not going to leave but I do need you to let me go. You’re gripping me too tight. It hurts.”
Her voice trembles with nervousness but I immediately react to those last two words.
“I’m sorry. I don’t want to hurt you.”
I’m losing it again as I know she’s going to leave now that I’ve caused her pain. I sit back on the couch, panting hard, completely lost as to how to best regain the control I so quickly lost.
“Relax Cole, I’m not going to hurt you.”
I’m shocked to hear her again as I thought for sure she’d run from the room. Instead I feel her straddle my leg with her knee coming uncomfortably close to my crotch. I stiffen with the sensation of her leg coming so close yet I automatically move towards her as I feel her arms on my shoulders.
“Lay your head on my shoulder. I told you before that I’ve always enjoyed kissing. I know this will likely get you nervous because of how deep your modesty is but it’s the only thing I think is going to be a strong enough pull for you to focus on.”
Just focusing on her voice creates a decent distraction despite the flashback still raging in my head. I try to show that I’m willing to allow whatever she thinks will make me nervous, moving blindly towards her.
I whimper pathetically as she guides me to her shoulder. All I am capable of understanding is that it has to do with kissing. I hold my breath as I feel her lips, soft on the side of my neck. She wasn’t kidding when she said it would create a strong pull. Unfortunately, she is also correct about making me nervous just not for the reason she thinks.
“Please, not my neck.” I whine through my pants trying to regain a normal breathing pattern.
“And I thought it would be your modesty that gets in the way.”
I can hear the amusement in her voice as I whisper an apology.
“Don’t think about it. Just let yourself feel it. If you’re similar to me then you will find that it feels good.”
She whispers in my ear before gently nipping the lobe. I stay still on her shoulder as she lays gentle kisses down my neck. Fortunately the shock of the first round of kisses on my neck was enough to calm the flashbacks I accidentally created. I cuddle her even closer, disrupting what she’s doing by laying several of my own gentle kisses just below her jaw. Her hum of contentment relaxing me in a way that I can’t describe.
