bad, but I need you to get the Doc here
and to make sure no one knows the truth.”
Jake was silent.
“What do you want to tell me?” Daniel asked.
“I heard some guys talking at the club last night.
They were talking about some kind of dog fight or some shit. There’s a guy who
can’t feel pain and is taking on dogs in the ring. I don’t know if it was true
or if they were bullshitting. Do you think it can be a wolf with this same
problem?”
Daniel cursed. “I don’t know. I really don’t know. I’m
not having anyone putting Dawn in danger because she can’t feel. Check out the
gossip and get back to me. In the meantime, get the Doc here. I want him to
talk to him and see what I can find out.”
“What if she can’t be fixed?” Jake asked.
“I don’t need her to be fixed. I just need to keep her
safe.”
Jake hung up letting him know that he wouldn’t talk
about Dawn’s problem. Entering the house, Daniel placed the phone back on the
kitchen counter. He ran his fingers through his hair trying to focus on Dawn
rather than the fear of what her condition could mean. If she was trying to
find someone to give her pain then she could have encountered all kinds of sick
fucks. There were men, like him, who liked to cause a little pain, sadists, but
they trained hard not to push too hard.
Some men and women, however, didn’t care how much they
pushed. They didn’t believe in any boundary and simply pushed.
In her quest to find a sadist had she found this kind
of men?
The very thought sickened him. Something had happened
to her, but he didn’t know what it was.
He walked toward the sitting room, finding her in the
nearest one. She was kneeling on the floor with her dark thighs spread open for
him to see the naked lips of her sex. Her head was bowed in submission. Daniel
wanted to touch her body. Her dark skin called to him, leaving him in need to
feel her, to taste.
“You please me, pet,” he said, entering the room. He
pushed the coffee table out of the way and circled her body. She released a
little gasp as he moved the table with ease. Stroking her head, he stared at
the curves of her body. She was perfect. He took a seat on the sofa. “Move to
face me.”
She shuffled on the floor, her head still bowed, but
she settled between his thighs. Her naked, curvy body was on display for him to
touch.
She’s not ours yet.
He cupped her chin and forced her to look at him. “You
can’t feel pain, Dawn.”
The change inside her was instant. He held her chin
even as she made to pull away from him.
“You don’t know that. It will happen soon.”
“Sticking your finger into a steaming cup of liquid
tells me all I need to know. You didn’t make a sound. Last night, you didn’t
respond to my bites. I turned you on, but I didn’t cause you pain.”
“I like a lot of pain.”
He stared at her, seeing the denial within her depths,
and the lies spilling from her mouth.
“I don’t know what you like to feel. If you can’t feel
pain then in certain cases, the person starts to feel like they need pain.
You’re not craving pain, Dawn. You’re hunting for it because the idea of not
feeling it scares you.” She stared at him with tears in her eyes. He released
her face and reached down to haul her up into his lap.
Dawn didn’t fight him as he settled her onto his lap.
He wrapped his arms around her body, holding her tight against him so she
couldn’t move.
“We’re going to talk about this, and you’re not going
to argue with me.” He infused his alpha voice as he spoke. She stopped
struggling. The hairs on her arms stood on end letting him know he was winning
their little dispute. He rested a hand on her stomach while the other he placed
on her thigh. “Something happened during your transition. Most young wolves
have a family or a pack that cares about them. They’re nursed during their
transition into their first turning. During that time the body goes through a
lot of stuff. In rare
