Free The Alpha's Domination by Sam Crescent

cases, wires get crossed, and something bad happens.” He
was using all of his own knowledge to tell her this. The only reason he needed
the doctor was for him to assess if there was anything they could do to stop
the wires from being crossed. “These bad things turn an ordinary wolf into
someone who can’t process pain. When people find out about their lack of pain
threshold it makes them vulnerable to predators.” He licked his lips. “For you,
you’re a natural submissive, so you’re open to men or women who’d want a toy to
play with. They’re sadists of the worst kind, Dawn.”
    He looked to her side and saw the tears glistening in
her eyes. How much had she endured in the last few years before she met him? No
one had looked deep enough to see the need she was suffering.
    “Have you dealt with this?”
    She gasped and turned her head away.
    “Baby, I can’t help you until you tell me the truth.”
    “How do you know I’m like this?” she asked, looking at
him. “I didn’t react to the liquid or to your bites, but why does it have to
mean anything?”
    “Because you’re
broken a little. Your wolf is scared to trust you.” He rubbed circles
against her stomach soothing her. “The only reason for your wolf to be scared
is because you’ve put her in a situation that scares her. She doesn’t trust
your judgment, which makes her nervous. It’s why you can’t sense the truth of me
being your mate.” He kissed the side of her neck. “It’s time for you to realize
you can trust me.” He pressed another kiss to her neck. “I’m here to stay, and
no matter what you say, I’m always going to be here. I love you, and you’re not
getting rid of me.” He held her tight against him, showing her the love and
care he felt through touch.
    “You’re going to leave,” she said.
    “I’m not going to go anywhere. It’s time for you to
share these problems.”
    She didn’t talk about her mother or any part of her
past. How far back did this abuse go?
    “Where do you want me to start?” she asked seconds
later.
    “From wherever
you feel comfortable.”
    She stayed silent for several minutes, not talking.
Her heart was racing, and her wolf was pacing in wait. Calm down, baby. I’m not going to let her go.
    “I killed a human male and cleaned the mess up.” The
words were not what he expected and yet they were. She was a wolf, suitable to
be his mate.
    “Tell me what happened.” He continued to stroke her
body. “Why did you kill that man?”
    “I liked pain, or I thought I liked pain. The guy I
lost my virginity to he wasn’t clean about it or nice. It hurt a little. I
don’t know if it hurt or if it was supposed to hurt.”
    “I get it,” he said, kissing her shoulder.
    “It was before my transition. I was eighteen, and I
wanted to have sex as a human. I heard that some wolves couldn’t have sex
without turning. If I got a human mate I didn’t want to risk killing him so I
decided to have sex before. There was a little pain, but I didn’t have an
orgasm. That was the last time I ever felt pain.”
    He listened to her talk, finally opening up to him.
Her wolf stopped pacing and simply rested, clearly happy that she was trusting someone with the truth.

    “Afterward I thought I needed the pain to get off. I
couldn’t enjoy sex any other way, and so I did a little research and I found
people who felt the same. Before my transition, I could feel pain, and all of a
sudden, it was gone. I figured I had to go looking for it.” Dawn opened up
telling Daniel everything about herself. She’d never thought telling the truth
would make her feel safe, yet it did. “The first BDSM club I went to was for
humans. There were no wolves present. In my father’s pack, there’s no
relationship of this kind. I doubt they even know it exists.”
    “You’d be surprised what goes on behind closed doors,
baby. It happens more than you think.” He kept stroking her stomach and thigh,
calming
