The Son of Red Fang by Diana Sockriter novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186

“There’s never been a time that I haven’t needed to ration medication. My normal schedule has always been Trelegy in the morning, Singulair and Effexor in the evenings, nebulizer right before bed.”

“It’s always been once a day.”

“When I manage to create a small stockpile then I stick to once a day unless I get tight or have a major attack then I’ll use it more.”

Okay, so after dinner tonight I’ll meet you in the med room next door to alpha and show you how to work the nebulizer in there until we get you a

machine.”

“Yes ma’am. Do you know where alpha is? It seems he accidentally left à little one behind when he and luna went to bed last night.”

“I see.”

Dr. Pierce responds looking fondly upon Madilyn. She hands me the white bag of medication while reaching out to Madilyn who eagerly jumps into her arms. She tosses her just barely into the air causing giggles to escape before bringing her into her chest.

“How are you feeling this morning?”

“Better. Cole helped a lot.”

“Yes, he did. Your dad’s looking better as well.”

“You saw him.”

“Yes, I did. We ate breakfast together about an hour ago. He told me last night to let you sleep. That’s why I didn’t wake you. I’m just happy I ran into you so I could get you started on some of your meds.”

She explains as she hands Madilyn back over to me.

“We will start you on Effexor once we can get you off the stronger pain killers. It doesn’t mix well with anti inflammatories. Until we get you back to the prospect’s dorm Demetri wants you to ask for the Ativan. He wants to lower the dosage that Dr. Carter has had you on in the past. He feels that it’s too strong so he wants to track the dosage and how often you take it for the next few weeks. How are you feeling? Would you like another shot of toradol? I know you don’t like shots but it did seem to compliment the Vicodin well last night.”

“I think I’m just going to stick with the Vicodin for now.”

“That’s fine. Just let me know if you need something stronger. I’m also going to help with bandage changes on that burn until the infection resolves. I need you to continue the antibiotics and steroids that I’ve already given you.”

“Yes ma’am, thank you. Do you know where I can find alpha?”

“He’s around. I’m certain you’ll run into him eventually. Don’t think too much about having Madilyn. Demetri doesn’t forget his children.”

“You’re saying he didn’t leave her with me by accident?”

“No Cole. He and Luna Lilly would have never let you near her if they didn’t trust you. Let her guide you through her day here. I think you’ll be surprised

with the way things are.”

I nod quietly, not certain how to interpret the information I was just given. The alpha’s four year old daughter was purposely left to sleep with me last night and by all appearances, I’m to take care of her until alpha takes her back.

“Are you okay?”

Her sweet voice brings me out of my thoughts. I smile nervously as Lanswer her honestly.

“I’m just a little nervous to take care of you by myself.”
