The Return to Crimson Dawn Monday, August 27th
(Jamison’s POV)It’s been a month since Dr. Moore received permission to medically sever Cole’s link. Unfortunately, it hasn’t worked the way it normally does. This medication has made it even more obvious that Cole’s linking abilities are vastly different then everyone else’s. I’ve attended several meetings for Cole between Alpha Black and Alpha Whiteman. Both alpha’s stances remain the same at every meeting. Alpha Black continues to beg Alpha Whiteman to send Cole back before the council gives permission for it to happen and Alpha Whiteman, while he’s willing to help Cole escape, he is steadfastly against making a move before the council approves it. Cole has spoken several times of simply running from White Ridge, the problem with that plan is how weak his father has made him. With only his feet to carry him he’d be lucky to find his way out of the White Ridge territory. I’ve made my way, once again, to Alpha Whiteman’s office. We’re supposed to be having lunch with him but Cole
The Return to Crimson Dawn Wednesday, October 10th, 2am
(Cole’s POV)It’s been nearly twelve weeks since my father deceived the council and left Jamie and I at White Ridge. Dad took advantage of my closeness to the pack for six weeks, using my abnormal link for the sadistic pleasure of causing me both physical and mental pain. It took two weeks after Dr. Moore stopped giving me the blocking medication for my father to finally tire of the energy he was putting into creating my misery. It took several days of him leaving me alone for us to believe that he might actually be done. That’s when Jamie finally opened up to me about the plan Alpha Whiteman was encouraging us to form which includes the plans Jamie wanted to create before we even left. I am ashamed of myself for not listening to my beta sooner. Alpha Whiteman’s plan is to give me access to an emergency cabin five miles into the woods. I would only be able to carry a single pack with my most important items but the alpha did reassure me that if I successfully ran to the cabin before

The first hour of my journey is uneventful as I pick my way through the thick trees. We’ve traveled this overgrown path many times but the darkness of early morning is proving even more difficult to navigate than in the daytime despite my partial shift. ‘Beware, Dallas.’ My wolf whispers in my head. Unfortunately, my father using the link to torture me for six weeks and Alpha Andrew’s attempt to block him resulted in even my wolf talking to me being very uncomfortable. I pause my movements, turning slowly in a circle, looking and smelling for him. I find myself at quite the disadvantage considering how I’m traveling upwind. Unable to detect anyone in the woods with me, I continue but at a slower pace. I may have gained half the weight I lost when I first got here but I’m still about fifteen pounds lower than where I was at Crimson Dawn and about forty pounds less than peak condition. Add my low body weight to my anxiety and asthma issues and this five mile hike is quite the underta
The Return to Crimson Dawn Wednesday, October 10th Pt.3
“Why would your father risk destroying the pack just to turn you over to the council?” “Haven’t you heard, Dallas or was that one of the days you skipped school?” I’m shocked at the tone Amos is using considering he’s my brother’s delta. “What?” Dallas snarls back. “Feral alpha males are euthanized within months of their conviction. What do you have to lose by letting him go?” For a moment it actually feels like Amos is trying to defend me without putting his hands on Dallas. I relax my arms in the slim hope that maybe Amos will get through to him where I can’t. Suddenly a foot connects with my face, forcing my entire body backwards as I yelp and scream in pain. I have no concept of what’s going on around me as chaos breaks loose. I take several more hits to my face before I’m able to force my body to function enough to roll out of the way. While my legs may be working better it’s not enough for me to physically get up and run for the cabin. I curl into a tight ball, covering my

The ride back to the pack house proves uneventful as Alpha Whiteman informed the two wolves with us that as long as they remained submissive and cooperative they would not be restrained and there was a chance the council would go easy on them. Alpha parks the mule in the garage, turning it off and stepping out as the door closes. Alpha Whiteman leads the way followed by the beta and delta with myself closing the rear. To Winston’s expectations, the two deltas and the gamma involved in the fight are already in his conference room next to his office. It would appear that only the gamma was cooperative enough to earn his handcuffs being removed. The other two have simply been made more comfortable with their hands being moved to the front. “Take a seat.” Winston instructs gruffly, maintaining his no nonsense attitude. He walks quickly to the northernmost point of the round table, stopping in front of his seat. Looking around to see that none of the prospects have moved, he’s visibly c

I’m impressed by the young leader’s ability to ‘play the part’. “He is correct, Delta Declan, as the coronated next in line, Alpha Andre Redmen is allowed to attend the meeting in Alpha Charles Redmen’s place.” Councilman Daniel backs Andre’s explanation effectively shutting down Dallas’s argument about him being here. He sits back with a deep growl while Andre remains silent. “For the record, where are you located, Alpha Redmen?” Councilman Arthur requests. “I am currently located at Blister Ridge. I’ve been on a business assignment for the last nine months and I’m expected to return to Red Fang a week before Thanksgiving.” “Thank you. Now to prevent confusion I would like to make a record that only Alpha Charles Redmen is to be referred to as Alpha Redmen. Alpha Andre and the individual that was attacked this morning, Alpha Cole, will be referred to by their title and first name.” “We agree.” Several of us respond to his declaration. “Normally, Alpha Whiteman would lead this

“It is a general rule of thumb that decent alphas follow to not implement physical punishment on gammas and omegas but the only law in place right now is that omegas and non shifting gammas do not receive that penalty. May I ask how he carried that out? How many hits did you receive?” Marie has taken over. “Ten. He had me take my shoes and pants off after the door was shut. His security team held me down on his desk after I dropped my drawers and I received ten licks from his belt.”“Thank you, Andrew. I’d like you to stay while we bring the other two back in.”Alpha Whiteman’s eyes glaze over, showing him in a link with the security officers next door. Almost as soon as his eyes return to normal the door opens escorting Dallas and Richard into the room. Once they are settled back in their seats Councilman Daniel speaks next. “We have heard Gamma Chaplin’s testimony as to what happened about an hour ago in the woods. We are willing to give both of you another opportunity to explain

“As soon as he was well enough to travel I would have helped him get in contact with the alpha he wants to be with and I would have moved him to a location that the alpha would be able to retrieve him from.” “Why would you do that? Why would you prevent him from receiving the justice he deserves?” Dallas is livid with the idea. “Unfortunately your idea of the justice Cole deserves and mine are polar opposites. Even if he was doing what he is simply rumored to be doing, he doesn’t deserve to be brutally tortured.” My comment has all three of the council members looking at me intently. “You believe the individual that was attacked this morning is being tortured?” Marie is the first to speak. “In front of those who hate him, who believe he deserves what he’s getting is not the time to discuss why Cole is trying to run.” “I understand but we do need to know if you supported his efforts.” “Jamie is an avid explorer. When he expressed concern over getting lost in our territory I supp
