Chapter 155

• (Cole’s POV)
• Alpha’s touch on my shoulder freezes me in place. He’s been nothing but gentle towards me, more than any other alpha so far, but I’m struggling. The rumors of this being a really bad place still plague my mind. Every pack I’ve been to has the rumors of being strict and unforgiving and so far three out of four of those packs have been exactly that, unforgiving of my unstable mental and physical health.
• They convinced me to talk, to tell them what I’d rather keep hidden. I don’t want to be special, to be singled out and treated differently but I guess my father really has done enough damage over the years that it’s inescapable.
