“And what makes you think that the adults in charge of Madilyn’s safety didn’t know where she was. You have got to be kidding me if you think I’m stop enough to rely on you for vigilante justice in this pack. Who the hell are you to rely on the word of a wolf who has been reported by multiple parks to the council for assault, rape and offensive touching.”
Just as I finish, Damian, Patrick and P
“I knew it!”
come bursting through the door.
Lucas screams as he lunges at Cole. My aura flares hot as he passes me but in an instant I’m on his neck.
“Down! Hard! Now!”
I bark my orders as I bare down on the back of his neck making certain he understands who’s in charge of the situation.
“You have allowed your own opinion to be formed by a rapist. The only reason Dallas has never been prosecuted by the council is because the ten packs he’s been to before mine didn’t have cameras in the dorm rooms. It was a he said she said situation but the packs still reported the accusations and banished him from their territories. Cole’s record is completely clean. Of the three packs he’s been to, they sent him back early because they were too cheap to properly care for him and now you have added injuries to an already significantly injured wolf.”
His anger is seething and while I do have control of him, he hasn’t submitted to my authority. I look at Lilly as she enters the room.
“I’m sorry. I came…..”
“Don’t!” I spit harsher than I intended.
“Angela should be right behind you. I need him and Madilyn taken to the med wing. Did any of you see what happened?”
“Yes.” They all respond in unison.
“Start talking.”
I command as I see Angela come out of the med wing hallway with a bed.
“I need you to concentrate on injuries. I will take individual statements once he’s out of the room.”
“First hit was to his left temple.” Damian immediately gets into it.
“When he tried to get up, he took a foot to the gut. Once on the ground he just pounded his foot into his face and ribs. All three of us tackled Lucas at the same time. As soon as one of us relaxed he took off after Cole. Fortunately, we were able to give Cole a decent head start.”
I nod my head thinking deeply about my next steps as Lucas finally calms enough that I believe he’ll stay in the hard submit that I’ve put him in.
I listen to Lilly behind me. I can tell from her aura that she’s proceeding with caution uncertain as to the aura that’s currently blazing from Cole.
“Don’t be afraid of him, Lilly.” I fail miserably at my attempt to gentle my voice. “I understand it feels harsh but what you’re feeling is
“a protection aura.” Angela gasps in shock. “Lilly I do feel you are still the best one to interact with him but we need to change our plans.”
“What do you recommend?”
“Stay with what I told you about reassuring and calming him but Madilyn needs to stay with him. This protection aura is keeping his adrenaline high which means there’s a much higher chance that he’s lucid over psychotic.”
I listen as Lilly starts working with Cole. Trying to get him to step away from the wall and start towards the bed.
“Angela, what do you know about protection auras?”
