The Son of Red Fang by Diana Sockriter novel Chapter 441

Chapter 441

“Sanctuary?”

I’m shocked and confused by his intentions with this meeting. How could Micayla be right? Then again she was thinking he’s going to offer me a position in the pack without the second run like he did her.

“But I’m not being abused.”

I unintentionally blurt out as I pace in front of him. I have way too much negative energy right now to sit.

“Then why did you run when I grabbed the belt? Why did you black out into fight or flight so badly that you couldn’t unlock the door? While it doesn’t seem as severe as Cole’s, you have been receiving beatings regularly for helping him, have you not?”

I stop in front of him, glancing up just enough to make eye contact with him.

“Yes, I am.”

I don’t understand why this is so hard to talk about compared to talking about my experience with him while living with us. Talking about the times he actually came to us for help versus the last two years that I have had to track him down.

“Jamie, is there a way that I can comfort you? Relieve some of the anxiety that I’m seeing without using medication? Perhaps being with your mate will help. Just holding her, smelling her would bring relief.” 2

I shake my head not wanting Micayla to know about my own battles when hers are so much worse.

“I don’t want her to know when I’m going to return to the very same thing.”

“You won’t consider my offer of sanctuary at all?” His voice is shocked by my statement.

“I will talk but it’s not to be used right now. I will leave when Cole does. I know he’s going to head back. There’s no convincing him of anything else. I don’t know what it/is he needs, that he’s looking for, but to allow him to return by himself….”

My voice trails off before I can think of what I’m saying, feeling.

“I will not abandon him.” I finally whisper.

“He won’t make it long enough to even make an attempt at running away without me being there.”

I stand still with my eyes closed as I try to calm my racing mind.

“Are you willing to tell me what’s going on?”

“Yes sir. I’m willing to talk.”

“Under the condition that I don’t use it yet?”

“I won’t leave without my family.

“That was never my plan. If you are suffering in the way I suspect, I would never leave your family in such a place. You

and Cole both deserve to have your family in the same pack as you.”

I look at him, studying him as his words were not lost in the sea of negativity that his threat of beating me created. We both deserve our family? Family isn’t plural.

“You see my family as his?”

I blurt out without thinking as no one has ever made that conclusion.

“While I can not go into the specific plans that I would like to put into place, your family adopting Cole, even as an adult, will be a key component to his recovery. You were there when he said he couldn’t leave because of you, Alex and the littles.”

“Alex?” I question.

“I’m sorry. It will take time for you to get used to the informality but I’m talking about Dr. Carter.”

I nod my head.
