Chapter 126

• (Patrick’s POV)

I know this is explaining my bias the long way but I’m hoping giving you a story instead of an explanation will help you to relax with my assistance in finishing what needs to be done for your leg.” I test his receptivity as I walk back over to the bed.
• “Twenty years ago, before Demetri became alpha, I was a part of the prospect program. I packed my bag and headed fifteen hours north to a small town in Maine near the Canadian border. The alpha, beta and their families met the bus as it pulled up. The beta’s daughter, Mandy was there and I fell off the bus. Literally face first into the dirt.”
