The Son of Red Fang by Diana Sockriter novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128

I look around the room, making sure I get a nod of understanding from each one of them. He’s already had several extreme reactions to moc tanchang bai neck and considering the bruise I see on his neck that’s one trigger I need to limit activating.

“Now, more inmediately speaking. I feel it’s fair to update you on the young man. With a lot of patience and support we have broken the pante îndured- asthma cycle. To the best of my knowledge, it has never been broken in a day. As long as he continues breathing normally, I will be looking at moving him from the medical wing to the medical room that’s next door to mine on the second floor tomorrow. I know I have tasked you, Damian, with moving lande to the efficiency next to Cole but I would also like you to get into Cole’s room and bring him some clother. The only thing we didn’t cut off today was his sweatpants.”

I get a nod from Damian.

“I plan on keeping him in the pack house until he’s better acclimated to his surroundings and the medication he’s on takes effect. Once I feel he’s no longes in danger of another major panic attack I will allow him to move back to his room.”

“If his father is the one abusing him, don’t you think being so close to you will upset him?” Damian brings up a good point.

“Yes, it may, but I’m working on gaining his confidence, his trust in me that I’m not going to beat him down or belittle him for everything that he does. That he can relax here. Getting him relaxed is how I will get to know who he is. It’s also when he’s relaxed that any of the negative rumors about him, if they have any truth at all to them, will come to light.”

Patrick and Lucas give me curious looks.

“I thought you didn’t believe the rumors?” Lucas blurts out.

“I’ll tell you what I told Cole. I cannot simply ignore rumors as dangerous as rape and pedophilia but I can give him a chance to prove them wrong.”

“And how do you expect him to prove them wrong?” Patrick challenges me.

“You said he has no record with the council. What if he’s simply being sneaky about it?”

“All predators eventually get caught. I have a hard time believing that Alpha Charles hasn’t found a shred of evidence supporting the pedophile claim in five years. In regards to no record with the council, keep in mind he’s been to three packs as a warrior prospect before mine. Nothing that would kick him out of the program was ever reported. Every pack is required to report any incidents of assault, rape, theft, and drug or alcohol abuse, so unless there’s a pandemic of under reporting these issues, I’ve got to believe that he’s had no issues at the other packs. In general, my position on the rape allegation is that it’s a false claim designed to get a cheater out of trouble. My position on the pedophilia allegation is neutral. Guarded, but neutral.”

I take a moment to look around the room. I know the moves I’ve already made will anger Patrick considering his stance against Cole but even if he is a dangerous pedophile, and I highly doubt that he is, no one deserves to live like this. Life in prison would be a luxury compared to what I’m seeing right

now.

I continue informing everyone of what I’ve done and plan to do since I’m not seeing anyone with questioning eyes.

“I know I mentioned Xavier’s name early in this conversation about Cole. How many of you know who Xavier Bluemon is?”
