The Son of Red Fang
Chapter 430
“As I started to tell you yesterday, Angela has been doing some digging and she needs to meet with your to give gear information on the complexity of your father even getting a trial date. I think the found some good news de well the with what happened yesterday, the four of us felt it best to give you a week before trying to overload you with so much information.” His eyes open again, looking fearful and frantic.
“What do you know about yesterday?”
I watch Jessa reach out to him, touching the side of his face gently as he struggles to bite back a yelp.
“When the storm finally passed I sought out Alpha Pierce. I discovered that she and Alpha Richards were in the office with Alpha Black so I ended up talking to all of them. I was sad, angry and confused. I wasn’t getting any further details than what Damian and Alpha Black had already given me. Lucas was very quick to vent his frustrations with me, which is odd considering how he doubts my abilities.”
“You told them about what happened in your apartment?” His panic seems to grow with every sentence that he speaks.
“Yes, I did.” She responds softly. He starts slowly shaking his head as he speaks.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for it to go so bad but you…. You had to know… I’m….”
Before he can get another word out she silences him with a kiss. I can’t help but smile at the tender moment but the joy is short–lived by the strict, cruel world he’s been forced to live in. His panic has grown by the time she leaves his mouth, leaning her forehead on his as he struggles to speak.
“Shhh, everything is okay. It’s me that should apologize, not you.”
She barely touches his face but it’s enough to send him into a small frenzy. I back my chair away from the bed as Jessa returns to the position she described yesterday, straddling his lap.
While this is acceptable and expected behavior among mates Cole’s reaction is extremely telling of how difficult this is going to be. The young man is completely lost despite, the ketamine keeping him mostly sedated. I remain silent as Julie follows my lead. Even Angela stops silently just inside the door to his room.
“Please Cole, I should have sought you out after talking to all of them but they discouraged me from entering your room unannounced. It took a while for me to agree but giving you space did seem the most appropriate. I am sorry that I reacted the way I did. Just hearing you confess that part of the rapist and pedophile rap was true after telling me that it wasn’t was really upsetting considering what I’ve been through. I know alpha told me that you had been branded a predator four months ago and that he didn’t believe it was true and I’ve seen you several times since then with his girls. I was just so overwhelmed by your confession that I needed to talk it out with the few people that have never hurt me.”
“So you talked to the doctors?”
I smile slightly with his nickname for us. She nods her head.
“They encouraged me to explain why I got so upset.”
I’m happily surprised as he starts responding to her confession, gently stroking her hair.
“I lost my parents in a rogue attack a month before I turned fifteen. My alpha found out about my gift shortly after and rejected me from the pack a year later. Red Fang was the third pack I was accepted into on a trial basis, I had just turned

The two of them have both changed, swapping their feelings while she talks. Jessa in note the fearful and uncontain pen i Cole’s confidence seems to grow. He is easily shaken by the news that she had been at his pack as it seems he undertones what she can not bring herself to confess.
“Knowing that you were at Red Fang for any length of time makes the second thing I needed to do with you goiterday much harder.”
I can’t help but cock my head, uncertain what he could possibly be talking about.

“But at the same time my wolf is even more insistent on doing it.”
“What is it that he needs to do?”
There’s an unmistakable waiver of fear in her voice.
“He wants me to scent you. But it’s different than simply burying my nose into your neck.”
