All Chapters of The Son of Red Fang: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

“As a direct result of his inability to access food on a regular basis, Cole has become deficient in several vitamins and minerals critical for normal bodily functions. These deficits include but are not limited to; iron, magnesium, potassium, vitamin k, vitamin d and several vitamin b’s. These deficits have resulted in several vital areas of functioning to become dysfunctional. Blood tests will be needed to confirm that Cole is severely anemic. His red cell count along with low levels of magnesium, potassium and b vitamins has led to extreme fatigue and a subtle heart arrhythmia. A rare vitamin k deficiency has resulted in an extremely low platelet count making it increasingly difficult for him to heal effectively while the diminished levels of vitamins and minerals mixed with the extreme stress of persistent abuse has decimated his immune system. It is virtually nonexistent. The inability to heal combined with a nonexistent immune system has made any injury potentially deadly witho

Friday, February 2nd (Dimetri’s POV)It’s been a week since we admitted Cole to Crimson General’s ICU. It’s been nearly two since he arrived in my territory and he’s spent more time in medical than any prospect I’ve ever had. I managed to get over to the hospital Monday as well as yesterday. He responded to me yesterday but he was fearful, as if he didn’t recognize me or where he was at. Due to his severe anxiety they’ve been keeping him mostly sedated. I agreed that was best until he was stable enough to return to the wing. They did a spinal tap on him Monday after I left. I am far from pleased with the report Dr. Christiansen gave on how it went. Although the test came back negative for infection they didn’t sedate him enough and he didn’t respond to the local anesthetic resulting in an extremely painful procedure. Outside of that disaster of a procedure, his stay at general is going well. I met with Jamie Saturday, Cole’s birthday of all days. I made sure that

“That’s what I did to Cole.” Lucas admits quietly. Madilyn turns on Lucas’s lap to look him in the eyes. “Why do you not like Cole?” “A wolf from his pack claims that’s he’s raping his luna and he has a weird relationship with the young girls in his pack. He marks them like they’re his mate. Dallas said he’s seen girls as young as seven with his mark.” “Doesn’t the mark hurt?” Madisyn asks, cocking her head in curiosity.“Yes, receiving the mark can cause a lot of pain depending on the circumstances under which it’s received. After you’ve shifted into your wolf it’s a lot easier to handle the mark than when you’re a young child.” I try to explain. “Your mom and I recently ran into a painful situation where hurting her was the only way to fix the problem.” The girls’s mouths are open and the boys are looking at us intently. While I would never go into details on their mother and I’s activities I have never shied away from being honest about mates and one’s relationship with you

“Sir, it’s going to take me hours to calm him enough to get everything done. Perhaps it would be better to wait until morning?” Caspian speaks shyly. “Now that, I disagree with. I’m taking over Cole’s care and I want that four day supply of medical supplies ready to go by eight. Sooner than that would be better as I’m not leaving until he’s in my wing. I need everyone who’s coming back to the wing to follow my directions.” I turn to face Caspian. I meet his eyes briefly before he looks to the ground. “I need you to follow without question.” I see Caspian nod without any further explanation of my needs. “Day, get a hold of Jessa or Angela. We need the ambulance in order to move him. When they get here they need to bring the bed to the third floor room fifteen. Luke, help your mom with the girls. You’ll understand why in a minute. Caspian….” “Casper, alpha please. Caspian is when I’ve done something wrong.” “Casper, I need you to look Cole over without touching him. This may take

Caspian walks Madilyn to the side of the bed, sitting her on the stool he was just on. I feel him beneath me moving Cole’s hand until it’s far enough out to get to the IV port. “Casper,” “Yes sir?” “It sounds like you’re planning on giving him the Valium as well.” “I am, sir.” “How much?” “He’s supposed to be receiving five milligrams every twelve hours.” Allen suddenly chimes in but before I can speak my mind Caspian speaks his. “We found that five was depressing his ability to breathe so Millie and I agreed on giving him three. My plan right now, alpha, is to give him one in the hopes that it takes the edge off the anxiety attacks he’s having in relation to receiving the medication.” Guilt can be heard in Caspian’s voice yet at the same time it does not waiver. “Who authorized lessening the dose?” “No one, sir. My sole duty is to do what’s right for the patient. For a day and a half Millie and I struggled to keep his oxygen levels up and it was at the end of Millie’s shif
