"Severe cases of HSD will have both dissociative and defiant behavior mixed with at least one additional mental health issue. The most common being anger management but there are others that would qualify. Severe cases warrant emergency authorization to start using Silvix to sedate the inner wolf before blood work comes back.” “What did he tell you that makes you think he’s a severe case?” Patrick asks his first question since entering the room. “I don’t remember the girls I’ve had sex with and I don’t remember the fights.” Lucas admits softly. “You don’t remember attacking Alpha Louis from the Clay Creek pack yesterday?” “No sir. I know that it happened but I have no memory of what I did or why I did it.” “What caused that, Demetri?” Patrick is getting curious. “The exact mechanism that causes the wolf to detach from his human is unknown but what is known is that it’s protective. Whenever the individual feels threatened their wolf takes over. The problem tends to be, durin

“You will stand.” I repeat a little harder than the first. Patrick slips the padded vest that I’ve been keeping in my office over my head by the time Jeremy finds his feet. Before the pup can protest any further I take his shirt in a single motion overwhelming him with fear. The little beta reacts with all the strengths he has, screaming as his little fists hit the padding on my chest and shoulders. Everyone in the room observes silently as Jeremy’s fight continues.‘Grab the fleece blanket with dinosaurs on it from next door.’ I link Patrick with my next need. “Not the face.” My voice is normal and my tone neutral as I gently redirect his fight away from anything that could hurt me. Through his screams I can hear his apology for hitting his sister like this, his sadness over not being with his family unless supervised by Angela, Julie, Lilly or I. His tiny soul holds so much confusion, frustration and anger over what happened and his brain simply isn’t mature enough to handle suc

It’s been three months since Jon and Jamie first stopped by my room. To my greatest fear, Jon got called to dad’s office the next day. I was grateful to find that it was indeed just a meeting. Jon came by a week later with good news and several packages. Dad granted him permission to install a sliding glass door and a small wood porch. Surprisingly, he was commanded to pick up packages for me at the grocery store. While I may no longer be allowed inside the building dad is creating food and supply orders online and only Jon or Jamie are allowed to pick them up. Although I’m actually getting food to eat that is halfway nutritious delivered to my doorstep weekly, it’s still just enough to keep me going. I’m grateful to Jon and Jamie, who are as skilled at hunting as they are at protecting the border. I have learned that venison is quite tasty and it has become a regular source of meat for me. Dad resumed his weekly training at the beginning of February keeping me weak and in constant p

“Alpha Charles Redmen lost my loyalty a long time ago. Alpha Andre has been back for several months and while I grew up around him, just like the rumors around the other two male children, I didn’t know him enough to trust him. He’s worked hard since December to choose an elite team, one that he believes will help him in his end goal.” “To free Cole Redmen.” I can tell that Jason’s voice is in awe as he starts to realize his true mission. “The only reason he would put you with my group is if you are willing to vow loyalty to him over his father. I must know where your loyalty lies.” “Ever since I went through sex education classes where the teachers explained that rape is acceptable when permission is granted by Alpha Redmen I’ve had an issue with him. I’m not as stupid as I act and I think Alpha Andre saw through that.” “If that’s true, it would explain why you were a last minute add on to my group. Andre emphasized that my group needed to lead Operation Underground the third tim

12amI start stirring about as the sizzle of bacon frying hits my nose. It’s been a long time since I’ve been treated to a luxury such as freshly fried bacon. I take my time becoming slowly aware of what’s around me. Mason took great care after I fell asleep to position me on my side. It takes a good minute for me to discover that his Sherpa lined coat is beneath my head, the collar positioned perfectly so that I can easily catch his scent as I sleep. “Why didn’t you tell him it was me?” I instantly regret saying it as I look around the small cottage for Jason. “Don’t worry Cole. Jason shifted and is going to do a quick twenty minute patrol to verify that Alpha Redmen is sticking to his word. He’ll be back in fifteen.” I relax a little only for his statement to hit me hard. “What do you mean stick to his word?” I can’t contain the panic lacing my voice. “Calm, easy breaths Cole. It’s all a part of the plan. As crazy as it was for you to attempt to run during a blizzard, your bro
