The Son of Red Fang

Chapter 362

(Demetri’s POV)

“Everything okay, Jessa?”

I’m calm yet concerned when I see his mate hurry to the fridge. She shakes her head as she talks.

“He’s in some sort of panic attack. Do you know any reason why?”

She sits down in the chair Cole just left beside me.

“I have a few ideas what may be causing it but it’s important for him to voice what’s going on. I’ll link with Julie and come to his room in a few.”

“Thank you.” She whispers as she hurries from the room.

“What do you think that’s about?” Lilly asks me gently.

“Several things. My biggest concern is that talking to me while hacking my Big Brother program may have triggered some intense feelings of hopelessness.”

“Why would that cause a panic attack?” Damian asks quietly.

“Talking in detail about his involvement with the girl pups of his pack combined with the reason he can’t leave his pack are more likely the triggers than the feelings of hopelessness. In the past I have found that speaking what’s going on out loud tends to make the truth of the situation more real than when it’s simply stuck in your head. But, that’s simply my best guess. He got really nervous when I asked about his knowledge of the Big Brother program as well as when I mentioned starting to test some of his warrior skills. Those items could be playing a part as well. That’s why I’m going to take a moment to link with Julie and introduce her to Cole.”

I explain as I activate my link with her.

‘I’m sorry to bother you at such an hour but are you busy?‘

It only takes a moment for her to respond.

‘Not at all. We just finished dinner and the kids are starting their baths. What’s going on?‘

‘I’ve only mentioned him in passing but I think it’s time I introduced you to Col of a difficult evening and I’d like your input as to different ways we can start h his panic attacks instead of knocking him out with sedatives.‘

He’s having a bit

ag him through

‘We both know that sedatives during a panic attack play an important part in calming everything

down.‘

‘Yes, that’s true but medically speaking we also know that sedatives are metabolized differently for each rank and Cole has already shown us that his weakened state causes a delayed reaction which causes him to go into a much deeper sleep and for a longer period of time. While I’m certain his mate, Jessa, will convince him to take a half mil of Ativan, depending on which way he’s reacting, I’d like to attempt to give him an outlet.”

‘I see. Where are you now?‘

‘Dinner with the family.‘

‘I’ll come sit at the table with you in five and we can head to his room when you’re ready.‘

‘Thank you Julie.‘

‘Any time. I’ll see you soon.‘

I come out of the link and rejoin listening to the family conversation while waiting for Julie to come

out.

“So what’s wrong with the pervert now?” Lucas asks callously. “Hasn’t been able to get his hands on

Madilyn recently?”

The entire table goes silent with his comment. I can easily see the confusion in Madilyn’s eyes as

she looks at Lucas.

“I miss Cole.” She states sadly.

“I told you to stay away from him.” Lucas snaps, bringing tears to her eyes.

“Can we go see him, daddy?” She looks hopefully towards me.

“Tomorrow would be a better day.”

“Why is Cole upset?”

She repeats the same question everyone has asked as my best guess hasn’t given anyone any

answers.

“That’s what I’m going to help your dad find out.”

I smile as Julie tucks Madilyn’s stray hair behind her ear before sitting in the seat beside me.

“You know Cole too?” She asks.
