The Son of Red Fang Chapter 49
“Cole, I need you to get your legs up on the bed.” He responds slowly, turning his body and lifting his legs at the same time. He manages to get his feet on the bed when Angela knocks and opens the door causing one of the severest fear responses I have seen in a long time. It takes everything I have to keep Cole from leaping off the bed, his arms flailing erratically as he yelps in terror from my hold on him. Angela and I are in shock at such a terrifying response when he had been doing so well with us. I had nearly forgotten Jamie was even there until I hear his voice in a way I could have never imagined. “Alpha Cole, look at me!” His voice is loud, sharp and commanding attention as his hands are upon Cole’s wrists, crossed and gently held against Cole’s chest. Light, persistent whimpers intertwine with the sound of his wheezing as he struggles to recover from his fight. “Cole please. I love you and trust you without hesitation. You are as much my brother as Jeremy. I know you’r

She reaches out to him slowly, touching his cheek as he pushes his back into my chest. “That’s okay, Cole. The black out is likely a form of shock from the physical and emotional trauma that this would cause. Unfortunately, this does mean that Demetri will have to do a more extensive hands-on physical with you to verify that we have found all your injuries.” I nod in agreement when she looks directly at me. “It’s also important that if you remember any injuries at all about the fight you need to tell us about it.” “I’ve had….. a headache….. since Saturday.” “Thank you, Cole. It’s possible that you have a concussion that we will need to keep track of. Now back to the issue of your leg. Did this happen with the rest of the injuries we’ve found today?” “Yes….. ma’am.” “I feared as much. If this silver is of high enough concentration there is a possibility that we’re looking at a third degree chemical burn simply from the lack of medical care. The deeper it burns the higher the po

I wake with a groan as my two little princesses take turns jumping on me. This is turning into one of the longest days I’ve had in a while. Physically and emotionally draining with everything I have learned today. Cole’s abuse is the worst that I have ever seen in regards to his physical and mental abuse. My own luna and her finally realizing the full extent of the sexual abuse she suffered has weighed on us both today. She has struggled to be her normal upbeat self which has caused questions to cycle around the pack as to what happened between us. My thoughts about Jamie and Dr. Carter and their involvement with Cole has raised some serious questions about Red Fang and how the alpha interacts with the pack as a whole. Is Cole’s hesitation towards talking about the full extent of the abuse simply a matter of protecting those who actually care about him? I don’t think so. The young man trembles every time I find a new wound on him. Even so much as begged me not to punish him for not t

“I’m not certain if we have even found all of his injuries yet but what we have found is quite distressing. It’s very important that the information I give you remains confidential until I’m able to make a move on him.” “Is that why you’re refusing to use his name?” “Yes. He’s been to three packs. All three figured out his secret. All three sent him home. I believe but I haven’t been able to confirm that he talked to them. Told them what was going on and they still sent him home.”“What makes you believe that he talked?” “Every time I ask him to talk to me, even his friend was begging him to talk, his only response is that it doesn’t help. That no one can help him.” “So he’s been burned by several packs. That’s unfortunate and disturbing.” “Not simply burned Xavier. The council showed up and started poking around a month after he got home. They never talked to him directly so he doesn’t know why they were there but I was able to infer from information given by his friend that his

“I’m struggling to comprehend his medical care right now but obviously that’s not all there is.” “No. That’s just what we found out happens when he’s at General for one of these attacks. When I got him to the hospital wing I personally restrained him to get the IV into his arm. My technique had enough of a comforting effect that he wanted me to stay and I ended up falling asleep with him. When Angela and Lilly woke me around ten, Angela told me that despite leaving him with me for two hours his body temperature had dropped twice and was coming dangerously close to ninety-nine degrees so she wanted to try heated pillows with him instead. He had an extreme fear response to us rolling him off of me and when we needed to place heart monitoring stickers on his chest, he curled his body into the fetal position.” “What was he afraid of?” “The catheter being placed is extremely painful for him and every time they monitor his heart the cath and feeding tube come next. Angela cut off his shi
The Son of Red Fang Chapter 54
I’m running fast through the forest easily dodging the tree roots and low hanging branches. My solid black wolf slips in and out of the shadows easily with only his bright gold eyes giving away his very presence. The moon is full and high in the sky giving me the best lighting for such a venture before my late night dinner with my beta, his son, my two sons, my luna and Alpha Dominic and his new luna, Dasha. I had Lilly take our daughters, twins Madisyn and Madilyn to the pack’s banquet hall for dinner while I had my phone conference with Xavier, the lead liaison with the council for abused and tortured wolves. My meeting didn’t give me the answers I was looking for, thus the reason for my run right now. I’m angry and frustrated with the condition Cole is in. He’s in no condition for his strength and endurance to be tested. All I can do right now is challenge his character, to figure out his personality and core values. Although, I do have an uneasy feeling that if he hadn’t had tha

‘How do you know they are any good? That the pups won’t be abused in the new packs?’ ‘There is a collective of sanctuary packs that go through a lot of research and testing with the council in order to qualify to take in troubled and abused wolves. This includes a rogue, usually a female, that the council purposely places on their land to test how they handle a wolf in distress. The smaller packs that can best accommodate the lowest ranked wolves and families are the ones granted second chance status. These are the packs that are of medium wealth so they can supply the necessary mental health therapy and medical interventions needed for the wolf to recover from their trauma but they are also usually struggling with low birth rates so taking in families and children, as well as keeping them in the pack is very important to them. You can’t keep a wolf in the pack if you don’t take care of them.’ I pause for a moment, giving her time to think. ‘It’s a lot to ask of me, Alpha Black, bu
The Son of Red Fang Chapter 56
“Double physical punishment?” Richard exclaims. “Who do you think you are to order such a punishment?” Dallas chimes in. “And what about Andrew? He’s the one that held him down once he was able to get a hold of the pathetic worm.” “Andrew will receive a slightly lighter punishment as these punishments are based on what I saw when I walked in.” Patrick and Dominic have switched places and I approach Andrew, who now has Patrick holding him in submission. Out of the three, he’s the only one that looks even remotely ashamed of his actions. “How long?” My voice is clipped and stern leaving no room for questioning my mood with him. Andrew looks up towards my face but not directly in my eyes. “Excuse me, sir. I don’t understand.” His voice is soft and submissive. “How long were you holding him while they pounded on him?” “I’m not certain. Ten, maybe fifteen minutes.” “This was obviously planned. The question is, why?” “They felt like I ratted them out.”I look towards Jamie as Pa
