The Son of Red Fang by Diana Sockriter novel Chapter 425

Chapter 425

We slow the bed to a gentle stop as I’m certain Cole fell asleep during the short ride down the hall to the last room on the left. Even though I’m certain his injuries are still screaming in pain it seems being dry and warm has relaxed him some.

“Dem?” I look up from locking the wheels so the bed doesn’t move.

“I have some of your clothes in the small dresser by the door of my office. I almost forgot that you store some there in case you have to shift suddenly.”

“Thank you.” I nod once as I head to her office.

It doesn’t take me long to change and get my wet clothes into a hamper for washing b

enough for Kathy to come into the room and start arguing with Angela.

“You weren’t here to see the fallout the last time a prospect had pups in his care off camera!” She yells as I walk in.

I can tell that Cole is struggling with the commotion prompting me to speak calmly but with

authority.

“Let’s back up a minute, Kathy. What is it that you need right now? We have a lot to do with Cole and I need to check on the girls.”

“I need you to sign off on doing the sexual assault exam on the girls. Lilly won’t do it no matter how

I explain what the protocol is. I also need you to sign off on doing one on Cole since he’s

unconscious and Angela is refusing.”

“Hold on, Kathy. No. I won’t consent to any of it.”

“You’re the one that created the protocol six years ago to protect the pups of this pack and now you

won’t follow through with it because he’s abused? He’s already branded? Your affection for the boy is

clouding your judgment and endangering your girls.” She speaks her mind forcefully and I can hear Cole starting to whine behind her.

“The answer is no. You’re out of line in trying to order the exam before an interview has even been

done. Madilyn linked with me and told me about what happened. That’s how I knew where they were

at and what they would need. She indicated nothing concerning. True to the character that we’ve

seen the entire time he’s been here his only concern was getting them out of danger.”

“Madilyn’s view is skewed from all the time you have allowed her to spend with him. The same for you and Lilly. You have heard his stories and feel sorry for him. He can’t do anything wrong at this point. Why are you so quick to ignore the fact that he’s had your girls out of camera view for five

hours?”

“Why are you so quick to assume that something happened before you even talk to them? What you are asking me to order is not part of the protocol I put in place and you will accept my answer.”

“Why are you so willing to believe he’s done nothing wrong after all the problems we’ve had with this pack? With the damage the previous Alpha Redmen caused? Why are you so willing to protect him?”

“HE’S NOT KRISTOPH!”

Our conflict has gotten quite loud attracting the attention of everyone currently in the wing or even passing by it. Kathy finally steps back, bowing her head in submission, finally acknowledging her position as a beta.

She is still a doctor and started caring for me in my late teens so I do respect the line and she knows it.

“If that’s the way you feel then I request to be removed from this situation.”
