The Son of Red Fang

Chapter 393

“Yes. He needs them Cole.”

“His mom is so worried about him getting them.”

“I know. Most first time moms are.”

We move easily together and without me having much thought, William is on the table striped down to his diaper.

“Check her bag for a clean diaper and some wet wipes.” Jessa instructs as she picks him up and takes him to the scale.

By the time I find the requested materials she’s bringing back a completely nude baby. I close my eyes and turn away. I’m completely useless when they are naked,

“Cole.” I look at Jessa at the sound of my name.

I look at the table in time to see her make two marks on the paper, one at his head and the other at his heel. She works methodically, checking everything about him before she starts pulling things from the cabinet. Two syringes along with bandages and wipes are added to the bin. Even though I would often receive only one shot it tended to be more painful than the broken bones it was meant to help heal.

Instinctively I grab William off the table. I understood the alpha giving Madilyn an IV after she got sick but he’s healthy. There’s no swelling, bruises or anything else that would make the shots

necessary. My mind is spinning as I step away from Jessa.

“Just like his mama, you’re nervous. All new parents are. Before I got here they followed the human’s schedule for vaccinations, two years ago I changed that. Unless we have a pandemic of a specific disease or the parents travel a lot to other packs, we delay starting the vaccines until the pups are six months old. I have found over the years that giving a two month old pup eight vaccines at the same time produces significant side effects that causes a lot of parents to shy away from allowing

the pups to receive them. As advanced as Crimson Dawn is in many areas of medicine they were at

the bottom when it came to caring for their youngest members.”

I’m trapped in a trance as I listen to her voice. She has gently adjusted William’s position in my

arms so he’s now laying sideways. His head is laying on my left elbow and his legs are straddling my

right. She wipes his leg down with two different wipes and before I can think to step away again she quickly gives him both shots in his thigh. The silence is broken with an ear piercing cry as his brain registers the pain of the shots shortly after she finishes giving them.

I’m struggling with the flashback trying to take over my mind. I barely hear the opening of a package before Williams’s wailing settles quickly into a whimper. When I open my eyes, Jessa has

wrapped one arm under mine, keeping me still and the other is helping William with a pacities that

he didn’t have before.

“The older kids get fruit popsicles while infants get sugar water frozen to a pacifier

I find myself struggling hard just to breathe as the flashes continue. Jessa moves so that sh helping to support William without taking him from me as alpha and April reenter the room. Ap has settled down significantly and is talking normally with the alpha.

“I’m sorry Jessa. I’m ready for him to get them now.”

I lay my head on Jessa’s as she starts playing with my hair. I’m trying hard to get out of the flashback but it’s proving much harder this time.

“He’s already finished with the shots. Once I get my mate a little calmer I’ll have you dress William while I explain to both of you the changes I’ve made over the last two years.”

“Your mate?” I hear April question.

As much as I have begged for her to reject me hearing her claim me helps in ways I didn’t expect.
