The Son of Red Fang by Diana Sockriter novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113

“So what’s on your mind, boss? The only time we eat this late without your twitis is if you have something big going on”

I nod my head as I jot down a few more things. My notes look more like lists right now but they’re enough to remember my train of thought when I go back

to them later.

“I’m getting involved with the prospects this time around.”

1 see Damian and Lucas slow down their eating as I come straight out with the main aspect of tonight’s meeting.

“You’re always involved with the prospects, Demetri. You always have. More than any alpha that I know of that’s involved in this program.”

“Yes, I do tend to be more involved than the average alpha as, considering the pure size of my pack, I’m extremely picky as to who I bring back let alone who I transfer in but that’s not what I’m talking about. This is beyond the meet and greet as they get off the bus. My insistence on being the main speaker for orientation and going through all the paperwork I have each of you do regarding the intense testing of their strength, endurance, technique, intelligence and character. This is well beyond any of that.”

“Why are you getting involved now? It’s been years since you’ve felt the need to increase your presence during the first run.”

So far my conversation seems to be just between myself and Patrick.

“Half of you here have seen parts of the whole picture that I’m speaking of. I think those of you who have interacted with him and are seated here can answer that question without me. I’ve led this pack for fifteen years and joined the warrior program ten years ago. In the first six years that I was a part of the program I’ve helped two dozen wolves escape the brutal reality of their pack. It’s been four years since I’ve felt the need to get hands on with the prospects but that’s exactly where this is headed.”

“You’re talking about Cole.” Damian speaks quietly for the first time since sitting at the table.

“Yes son, this is about Cole. Problem is this goes beyond Cole as well.”

Patrick stops eating, placing his fork down on the table. I can tell by his body language that he doesn’t approve. That he’s going to challenge my desire to help Cole. I take a bite of steak and slowly chew the tender meat waiting to hear what he has to say. Even though we rarely agree on anything right away, Patrick has been the perfect beta for me during the ten years since he’s returned to his birth pack.

We have been friends since we could walk and he challenges my thoughts making certain everything is considered before action is taken. Unfortunately, I’ve

already started making moves with Cole that he doesn’t know about. I will help him get out.

“Have you ever met a pedophile or rapist that has admitted to doing either?”

I can’t help but chuckle as I knew that was exactly what he’d bring up.

“No, have you?”

My reply is clipped making certain he understands my feelings towards the subject.
