The Son of Red Fang by Diana Sockriter novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260

The final bus with two dozen prospects arrives early this afternoon and I’ve got several meetings and a ton of paperwork backed up. I’m not going to be able to keep an eye on him as I’d like and after such a painful random flair I don’t want him alone,”

“That’s understandable but I don’t know that I can force him to stay.”

“When you see him you’ll understand why I don’t think he will fight us on it.”

“So I can prepare for him, what do you need?”

“I’m sorry Cole.”

“Why?” I can’t help but respond to his genuine sadness.

He reaches over and I can’t control my wince as his fingers connect with my hair.

“I’m sorry” I whisper quickly at the sight of alpha’s hurt expression.

“It’s okay Cole. It’s just a scar that will take time for us both to adjust to. It’s been four years since we’ve last gone through this. As many wolves as I’ve helped I don’t think I’ll ever get used to anyone cringing at the sight of my hand.” He explains gently.

There’s something about what he says that reaches me. Against my own wishes my body responds and makes contact with the alpha’s eyes.

“I’m sorry Cole, but I need to get blood from you. We need to start running panels to figure out what’s going on as I believe you’re very sick and it’s only a matter of time before you crash.

Our previous try was on the left because you were favoring the right side for laying on. That’s why it took so long to find that laceration on the right side of your head. We have a special chair. It’s going to be rough because we will be belting you down but we need to get the blood. I will help you get through it and we are going to turn it into an IV when we’re done. Your arms are heavily bruised from all the shots over three days. We’re going to start giving all your medicine through the IV again and I want to run fluids as well. It’s hard to tell how hydrated you are.”

I nod my head slowly even though I really just want to be left alone. It’s always been easier to just agree with everything than try to fight against it.

“What do you want to order?”

“First it’s critical that there’s no cap on Cole. He gets what he needs. Not just the minimum to stay alive but to actually assist him in getting better.”

“Demetri, you know we have never been that way.”

Dr. Pierce sounds shocked that he even mentioned such a thing.

“But he doesn’t.” Alpha responds quietly. “It would be so much easier if Jessa was feeling better. She could narrow down what we’re dealing with.”

“She’s doing better. She actually showed up this morning and checked on Melody but I sent her back to her apartment once she was finished with her. I’ll be clearing her to go home in an hour or two. Do you want me to call her?”
