The Son of Red Fang by Diana Sockriter novel Chapter 230

Chapter 230

He attempts to stuff his hand into his mouth but this time I’m not so rent that it’s to cause bimuif harm. I’m certain that the way be fighting me causing him enough pain as his fear filled yelps have progressed into immensely painful ones. I grab his wrists in my hands, ratios tants the deep bruising discoloring them.

“Enough,”

My voice is shockingly soft and compassionate considering the sudden switch I had to take. I’m on my forearms and knees as I straddle his waist. My bands are gentle around his wrists positioned comfortably beside his head. To my surprise his yelps have stopped completely but soon realize that it’s becayer he’s literally biting the only pillow left on the bed.

His body is stiff except for his tremors, his breathing is inconsistent. I can hear him panting through his clenched teeth for a few seconds before he holds his breath for longer than he was breathing. I lower myself even closer to him, he immediately whimpers and squirms with the confinement.

“I’m sorry Cole, none of the anger you felt was directed towards you. Open your mouth Cole. Let go of the pillow, I need you to breathe.”

Lilly is beside me again, removing the pillow as he starts to relax, more from the sheer exhaustion than any type of willingness to do so. His eyes are closed as he lays the side of his head on the mattress. He’s panting hard trying to catch his breath. I can no longer ignore the wheeze that has settled into his chest.

“Angela, we need to get his leg wrapped up. What do you need to do?”

“I need to get him back on his side. Use the lidocaine wash to clean it off and put more salve on it before I can wrap it.”

“Just leave it be. Please. I can’t do this.”

He whispers with a whine in his voice. I move my hands into his, gently rubbing the backs as he pulls away. I follow his movements until my arms are wrapped around him.

My body has slowly lowered until I’m nearly touching him. He’s shaking badly from the pain and fear he feels, a soft whimper has become constant.

“I know you’re in a lot of pain right now but we need to get this sheet changed and you better positioned for bandaging your leg. I know you want it left alone but your denial of care after this beating is what got your leg in such bad shape. The local anesthetic is not a necessity but treating the infection in that burn is.”

He squeezes my hands, moving them out slightly until he can lay his head upon them.

“What’s next alpha?”

“I help you off the bed and hold you as the sheet gets changed. I will continue to hold you while Angela and Lilly work on your leg.”

“I’m sorry alpha.”

“You say that a lot. What are you sorry about?” I speak gently as he leans his head against my arm.

“What I said downstairs. It was wrong to speak of such a personal matter in front of everyone. I deserve what I feel.”

“No you don’t. Is that why you went after your hand?“/

“You’re holding out on me alpha. I deserved to be tied up last night, to be laid into like he does but you held me instead. I threw Lucas under the bus trying to get him off my back. What he’s doing is wrong but the way I told you is wrong as well.”

“Lilly’s back with the sheet. Let’s get you up. Stay still while I get up first.”

“Moving hurts.”

His whisper is barely perceptible as I start cautiously moving from on top of him. He releases my hands as I move around more, overlapping them in front of him. He tries several times to lay his head down before simply placing his forehead on his hands and even that sounds painful.

Chapter 230

Once I’m off the bed I squat down beside it.

“Cole, I know you’re in a lot of pain but I need to get you standing so the sheet can be changed. Then we will lay back down together so Angela can get your leg bandaged. I will help you stand. Do you think you can get yourself sitting on the edge of the bed?”
