The Son of Red Fang by Diana Sockriter novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173

I follow slowly behind Angela. The room we’re going to is much smaller than the others so I allow her to get him settled before entering myself. 1 link with Lilly, asking her to come to the room. Angela places her hand on my shoulder bringing me back from my link. It took a few minutes but in the end I believe that she’s willing to come.

“Fortunately this is the warmest room in the wing but I still got him an extra blanket. His temp is down again.”

“I imagine so.”

“I’m headed to bed unless you need anything else.”

I pull Angela into a hug.

“Thank you. Hopefully we’re right behind you. Just do me a favor.”

“What’s that?”

“Make sure whoever’s on call doesn’t wake him. We both know that sleeping is important for healing.”

“Of course,”

She smiles as she walks away, placing her hand over her mouth as she yawns. I continue down the hall, stopping just outside the door. I can hear the television playing but the volume is too low for me to understand what’s on. I smile gently at Lilly as I see her turn the corner coming back down to the med wing. She stops just outside his door, worry in her eyes.

“He has a very high protective desire with the pups.”

I reassure her, placing my hand on her cheek. She nods her head silently but I know she’s not convinced.

I usher her into the room, it’s half the size of the other rooms but still big enough for two adults to sit comfortably in with the patient. He’s sitting up in the bed, the blanket is unfolded sitting just above his knees and I can see the black sweatpants he wore downstairs covering his legs.

“When did you get those back?” I wonder out loud..

“Dr. Pierce grabbed them on the way out.”

He’s speaking calmly with me and I can’t help but smile. Madilyn perks up immediately upon seeing him, nearly jumping from her mother’s arms to get in the bed with him, a broad smile on her face.

Her smile fades quickly once she’s on the bed as he sits up even further, stopping her from coming up to the head of the bed with him.

“What’s wrong?”

She asks quietly, tears forming in her eyes from the rejection she feels.

“It’s okay for her to be here Cole.”

“No alpha.”

He’s stern in his response leaving me speechless and shaking Madilyn up even more. He sees her tears falling but there’s something about the situation that forces me to stop Lilly from taking Madilyn back and allowing it to play out.

“I’m sorry, Madilyn. I didn’t mean to make you feel unwelcome.”

His voice is much softer, attracting her attention to him.

“I’ve only been here two days and it seems so far that this is a very different world than the one I live in. The pups at my pack are often told, like Lucas told you, not to listen to me because I can’t be trusted. If you want to be with me, however long your parents allow, then we must have an understanding with each other.”
