The Son of Red Fang by Diana Sockriter novel Chapter 301

Chapter 301

I pause at the end of my statement as I hear several gasps and murmurs floating around the room. I’m finding it difficult to believe that no one else realized it. Perhaps I’m just the only one willing to admit it or maybe they don’t realize how long it’s been going on. No matter the reason I must continue.

“With consideration to his current condition I believe there are three reasons that Cole may be malnourished; direct denial of access to food, the physical abuse causing anxiety high enough that he’s afraid to eat despite access to it, and most disturbingly, injuries from the physical abuse being so severe that he can’t get to the food without assistance.

The true nature of why he’s malnourished is unknown as what if any information has been given to Alpha Black and his medical team has not been shared with me per the blind read guidelines. Video evidence is available if necessary showing my first interactions with Cole occurred today, Friday January 26th at approximately 8pm. I was informed before my read that Alpha Cole was brought into the medical wing sometime Tuesday and has spent time both in the med wing and the med room next to alpha since that time. I am unaware of any tests that may or may not have been performed since Cole’s arrival on the property Monday January 22nd at approximately 8 pm.

As a direct result of his inability to access food on a regular basis, Cole has become deficient in several vitamins and minerals critical for normal bodily functions. These deficits include but are not limited to; iron, magnesium, potassium, vitamin k, vitamin d and several vitamin b’s.

These deficits have resulted in several vital areas of functioning to become dysfunctional. Blood tests will be needed to confirm that Cole is severely anemic. His red cell count along with low levels of magnesium, potassium and b vitamins has led to extreme fatigue and a subtle heart arrhythmia. A rare vitamin k deficiency has resulted in an extremely low platelet count making it increasingly difficult for him to heal effectively while the diminished levels of vitamins and minerals mixed with the extreme stress of persistent abuse has decimated his immune system. It is virtually nonexistent. The inability to heal combined with a nonexistent immune system has made any injury potentially deadly without immediate medical attention. Considering the fact that his current injuries are severely infected allows me to believe that his injuries occurred from malicious intent and with no intention to provide medical care.”

I pause a moment as I attempt to remember what I felt when reading Cole. I could feel silver all over his body as well as in his blood, a deadly combination, yet I’m confused. There’s no way silver can be all over his body.

“Alpha, I’m confused. I’m sorry Cole. I know the first one was really rough on you and I promise this won’t be but I have to read again.”

I start making my way over to Cole, Alpha is still kneeling right next to the chair he’s in. He has let go of alpha’s hand and has buried his hands into his hair but this time his hands have remained flat instead of

clinched like I saw the first time./

He’s trembling hard and I can feel the fear, the all consuming dread within him without even touching him. I hand the phone that’s still recording to alpha as I step in front of a deeply shaken Cole.

“You know what’s going on inside you, don’t you?”

He lets go of his head as he sits up slightly. He looks into my eyes before shaking his head.

“No ma’am, but the picture you’ve painted so far. Severely infected wounds with no immune system to fight it off with. I’ve gone septic haven’t 1?”
