Chapter 85
“I’d like to ask you a few questions about your sexual activity and do a brief exam checking for any wounds that are related to sexual diseases.”
“You’re not going to find anything of that nature on me.”
“I understand that you’re very sore in that area which is why I’m going to do the exam in the water.” I explain as I put gloves on.
“I know you mentioned that other packs haven’t done this type of exam on you before.”
I pause as he slowly nods his head.
“Yes sir, I’ve never had to submit to the testing or exam.”
“It doesn’t surprise me that you haven’t. Three years ago the council removed it as a required part of the physical in order to allow smaller packs that couldn’t afford all the testing the ability to participate in the prospect program. The larger packs are supposed to still be running everything listed on the physical but a lot have stopped.”
“But you do everything by the book.” He speaks tiredly.
“I realize it’s quite awkward to have a male, especially the alpha, do the exam but I think doing it this way is going to be the easiest for you.”
I can tell by his breathing that he’s struggling with his anxiety already.
“Alpha please, can it wait?”
“Everyone that comes through the prospect program goes through this exam, Cole. As well as the questionnaire. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. I assure you, my touch is gentle. I’m not going to hurt you.”
“Do you realize how many times I’ve heard that?”
“I can’t imagine that so I’m not going to try. Just relax with my touch. I will put you how I need you.”
Despite his obvious distress with the exam I push forward. I have found over the years that maintaining my word, no matter their reaction to what’s going on, has helped far more wolves than it has ever hurt in the long run.
I know it sounds cruel but pushing the abused ones also allows me to physically see where their limit is and how they react when they are pushed beyond it.
I reach into the water sliding my hand under his knee. He tenses badly but remains silent. With some gentle persuasion I lift one leg into an open butterfly. I reach down again, moving quickly to do a blind exam looking for any round sores mixed in with the linear ones he already has.
Unfortunately I’m not quick enough for the young man to tolerate. He yelps and attempts to pull away but the tub and the ramp are in his way.
“Alpha please, I can’t do this!”
He whines loudly after I’ve already finished.
“Please, alpha. There’s nothing there. I’ve never had sex.”
He’s still fighting hard even though I’ve completed what I needed. The way he spoke sounds more like a forced confession to a painful secret, not a reaction I wanted to get.
“Calm down Cole. I’m already finished.”
I try to soothe as the young man looks at me intently. He’s breathing hard as he looks away.
“I’m sorry alpha. I’m so weak and stupid.”
He chastises himself. His hands are balled into tight fists as he continues into a mantra of apologizing for being weak before those same fists connect with the sides of his head.
I’m in complete shock for several seconds as he rains the blows down on himself. Snapping out of it as quickly as I could, I grab his hands, one already bloody from reopening the wound on his head.
“Colton, enough.”
My voice is loud without yelling, but very much alpha and demanding his attention. I’m shocked as he freezes and doesn’t speak a word about his name being Cole not Colton. Fear is in his eyes as he looks at me briefly.
“I will not tolerate self injurious behavior while you are here.”
He’s shaking hard as he stares fearfully into my eyes.
“It’s not enough. I need more.”
He whispers, looking away. He tugs on his hands. I can feel that he wants to reach up to the bleeding gash on his head, whining softly in defeat when he can’t break loose from my grip.
“I’m going to let you go now. Keep your hands down.”
“Yes sir.”
His voice is barely audible as I slowly release his wrists. His eyes are closed as I rinse a soft cloth in the water. His distress is evident on his face and in his breathing.
“Lean into my hand, I don’t know how uncomfortable this will be.”
I place one hand on the left side of his face as I slowly press the cloth down on the laceration on his head. He whimpers softly and shifts his legs with the discomfort it causes but doesn’t try to stop the process.
“Deep breaths Cole.”
I stroke the side of his head with my thumb as he leans hard into my hand.
I remain like this with him for several minutes before slowly peeling back the cloth. The bleeding has stopped so I take the time to clean the blood from his hair and neck again. The water has cooled again so I pull the plug allowing it to drain.
“Shall I help you get out of here?”
He opens his eyes as he nods his head.
“Yes sir.”
He agrees quietly. I hold out my hand after I stand, taking his in mine as he groans to his feet. He steps out of the tub onto the towel on the floor. I grab another towel off the counter and start patting him dry, looking for any additional injuries that may have been missed at the same time.
I hand him the towel to finish any wet spots I missed, confident that his head and neck are the last of his injuries from that horrific beating.
“Come on over when you’re done. I’ve got some clothing for you.”
He remains silent as I open the two packs I brought into the bathroom with me. I listen as he makes his first tentative steps towards the counter. I was hoping that the Ativan would have had a better effect on his anxiety.
“Take a seat. I know I said that I needed to go through a questionnaire with you but considering you’re potentially a virgin I’m going to utilize a different interview tactic.”
“You don’t believe me?”
His voice is hushed, sounding ashamed of being a virgin.
“I never said that.”
I state calmly as I hand him a pair of underwear. He sits on the stool next to me as he puts them on.
“I will admit that there are some wolves that will claim that in order to get out of the exam and questioning but it tends to be rare as most males have an ego the size of Texas. Most would rather claim they’ve bedded ten he and she wolves than admit they are virgins resulting in painful and unnecessary testing. I also have a powerful bullshit meter, something you have yet to trigger.”
I give him a sideways glance and a smile as I hand him the shirt. He manages a snort and a slight smile before wincing as he puts the shirt on.
“Anytime a wolf is willing to claim they haven’t had sex I change the questions I ask to get a handle on the exact nature of their previous relationships. Your urine will still be tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea, they are the most common issues I see with prospects. As painful as it was, and I didn’t expect it to be, my manual exam of your genitalia didn’t find any sores outside of those you got from the beating. I am sorry for the pain that it caused. I did not intentionally lie to you when I said I wouldn’t hurt you.”
