The Son of Red Fang Chapter 195
“I usually use hoodies over a coat if I’m not walking far and the weather is nice.” “Do you have one here?” He points to the dresser beside the door. “In the box.” I walk over to the box and pull out the rest of what he brought down. I place the nebulizer machine gently on the dresser, followed by all the accessories before reaching his hoodie on the bottom. I pull it out before dropping the box to the floor. I shake it out, looking it over to find a zipper down the middle.“This one’s different from the one you had when you helped us with Madilyn.” I observe before handing it to him. He slips it on cautiously, almost as if he’s in pain. Even though his pacing and frantic hand stims have calmed considerably since I told him we’re going to the training annex, I can tell by his fear filled eyes and panting breath that he’s nowhere close to done his panic attack. How many of these has he been forced to bury and act as if nothing is going on in order for him to be so seemingly calm?

“It’s really important that you listen.” He gives me a nod. “This is not going to be a true spar. I will tease you. Touch you with the pads until I get you hitting but as I told you a few minutes ago, you’re the only one throwing the hits. The padding that I’m wearing is a precaution as we have never sparred so I don’t know anything about your strength, accuracy or technique. The youngest I start training is eleven and that’s only when specific things are met with the pup. I usually don’t wear padding when working with them. Now, would you like to try using gloves?” He shakes his head as I verify everything I want to use is in place. “Okay Cole. We are going to start slowly. I’m going to reach my padded hand out to you, I want you to meet it with your fist. This is just touching, not hitting yet.” I start with my right and he slowly touches it with his left. I repeat with my left and he follows with his right. We continue this warm up for a minute or two before I start moving on.“

Fear once again replaces his anger as his body begins to shake. I quickly throw my pads off and make my way over to him. Julie and Patrick follow my lead, making their way over as he lays on his stomach upon the mat. I can tell that he wants to curl into a protective ball, queuing me into his current thinking, that despite the permission to do so he believes he’s in trouble for what he’s said. “We can help you get out of Red Fang. You don’t have to leave here.” Julie tries to soothe him, but is met with resistance as she runs her fingers through his hair. He’s clawing at the mat, struggling with the onslaught of emotions coursing through his body. “No, please don’t touch. Don’t hurt me. I’ll settle down, just don’t hurt me.” His sudden statement confuses me as he tries even harder to curl into a ball. For the first time I notice his struggle to move his legs and Patrick’s attempts to lift the bottom of his shirt.“Pat, leave that be.” My tone is concerned resulting in an immedia

Wednesday April 11th(Patrick’s POV)It’s been a week since Cole amazed me with his skills in sparring with Demetri. He truly is amazing. I was happy and relieved when I saw him the next morning. He was late but considering the night he had anytime he spends observing is welcomed by me. He only spends a few hours before lunch watching. I left him be, pretended that I didn’t see him the first few days. Monday was the first time I approached him while the prospects were practicing the moves I had just shown them. He didn’t talk much and seemed uncomfortable with me being close to him but I kept everything neutral as I talked with him. My meeting with Demetri Friday allowed me to go over what I saw and how he compared to the others. As I expected, he was quite pleased with the results. He spoke with me about testing Cole’s defensive techniques once his custom pads come in. They were supposed to arrive last Thursday but shipping got delayed before the equipment was declared lost and no

(Cole’s POV)After my spar with alpha, I took Patrick up on getting closer to his group to watch. I don’t have much desire to actually spar as it’s too much like fighting. I’m tired of fighting. I fight for everything I have, want and need. I need a break. Plus, I don’t think I’m medically cleared to participate with anyone outside of alpha but I’m still willing to watch. That’s how I have learned everything the last eight years and, according to beta, I’m really good. I show up at my usual time, around ten, after I’ve fixed what’s leftover from breakfast in the halls for my meal. Something is different about this week as there was barely any left to raid. I know beta’s been watching me. He seems to have taken some lessons on giving me some space. He didn’t approach me to talk with me until Monday, although it’s mostly him that’s talking. Off in the distance I can see a young male mimicking the prospects. Shame is, these prospects are not the ones you want to mimic. They haven’t ha

Friday, April 27th(Demetri’s POV)It’s been over three weeks since I moved Cole into his new room on the first floor and asked for his help with the big brother program. I ultimately decided to postpone his testing after he fell apart later that night. It took a while to get his padding in. I was hoping that it would reduce the stress of testing his sparring skills but so far he’s gotten so nervous just putting them on that I didn’t engage him in any actual sparring. I would love to see his defensive skills but I’m waiting for him to need sparring before trying again. He has made changes to his schedule to accommodate the additional things we have asked him to participate in. After showing him where the other prospects were training at, I have seen him rotate between the three groups depending on the usefulness of the training for him. Even though I have essentially dropped him from this run as a warrior prospect I refuse to send him home. As far as he and the council knows, he st

I stand from my desk after a glance at the time on my laptop. Cole has been working on my computer for a good three hours and we’re quickly approaching dinner time. Despite the awkwardness of being around Lucas he has at least relented to sitting at the table with us during dinner. The girls keep him fairly entertained and often feed him from their plates while he’s there. He doesn’t often eat a plate of his own or talk unless he’s spoken too but it’s still progress. At least he’s not so isolated now. Something is weighing heavily on the young man’s mind. Has been for days and I’ve noticed tics that he’s never displayed before getting worse everyday this week. Letting him care for some of our youngest pack members for an hour in the care center allowed him to forget but it only lasted that one hour. He’s been eerily quiet since we left. Even though he’s maintaining a very calm and collected outward appearance, his persistent grasping tic and scanning eyes tell me a very different st

I quickly go through the drawers of my desk, slamming them shut when I don’t find what I need. I can feel multiple people trying to connect with me so I open my link to everyone at the table. Everyone comes through at once causing me to freeze in my tracks. ‘Quiet!’ I command, remaining silent as the din of everyone yelling at me subsides. ‘What the hell Demetri? He’s obviously having a hard time and you growl at him?’ Patrick chastises through the link. ‘Did you hear what he said? How he said it? Cole is in trouble but not the, he’s done wrong, type that Maddie and Lynnie would associate with the word.’ ‘What trouble is he in daddy?’ Lynnie’s voice pops through. ‘I think he’s locked into a link with his dad. My instincts tell me that I need to play along. That I need to stop being nice. It’s going to be devastating for Cole but it’s the only way to free him from this attack.’ There’s a moment of complete silence among all of them as I continue my search for pen and paper. ‘Wha

The very breath I breathe is knocked right out of me as he has never commanded me to do anything. Even his father has made a strangled growl in response to his statement. “Even though you are an alpha, I am commanding you to come back.” His tone has softened but the seriousness in his voice has not. “I will return or I will die trying.” I somehow manage to whisper. Luna steps up next as Alpha Damian steps back wrapping her arm around me as Madilyn grabs my neck. I can feel Madilyn trying to wrap herself around me. Luna loosens her hold as I timidly take the young pup into my arms. “No! Don’t leave!” She starts off yelling. “You don’t deserve your daddy. He hurts you when you’re a good wolf. Please stay. My daddy can be your daddy. I promise I’ll share him.” She barely makes it through the last two sentences before breaking down crying. I hold her tightly as I look at luna’s face, her cheeks wet with tears. “I’m sorry.” Is all I can manage to whisper as she takes the little one
The Son of Red Fang Chapter 261
(Cole’s POV)It’s a shock to say the least to see Lucas come out to the porch let alone to see what appears to be a forced apology from him. I have a hard time believing what he has to say. I have never heard of Wolfington Academy and the only hint he gave was that he would go away. Not something I would ever want to happen to a newly shifted teen but I certainly wouldn’t want him to continue being a danger to the preshifts either. It’s been easy enough the last few months for me to avoid interacting with him even though I have sincerely missed the twins. These last two months, while they have been terribly hard and mentally painful for me, have also been the best for showing me the support I will have when I’m not myself. Alpha and luna both have gone out of their way to help me through my own decision to return. Every night luna and the twins would come to my room after dinner with a plate of food wrapped in cling wrap and several drinks. They would put the food and drinks in the

He finally lifts his head and stands from the stairs, walking slowly towards me. Suddenly his pace picks up and has taken on a more aggressive look. I start moving to intercept him as he’s headed straight towards Cole. ‘Stop me. Please dad, I don’t want to hurt him.’ His call for help is real, he genuinely fears hurting Cole. I step quickly into his path, silently wrapping my arms around him. One around his waist, the other under his arm allowing me to curl around and place my hand on the back of his neck. He freezes in place and stifles a yelp as I hold him close. I’m struggling to put together what these new symptoms mean. “Lay your head. I need you to relax so I can submit your wolf without causing you pain.” I whisper in his ear as I guide his head down. He whimpers quietly as I massage his neck looking for the best pressure point. “I need you to talk, Luke. To anyone. I don’t care if you confide in your brother, your mother, any of the doctors or nurses in the wing, tell

I wrap my hands around his, sliding my fingers gently between his hands and hair. He surprises me with how easily he gives up his stimming. “Stand up son.” I keep my voice gentle and reassuring, waiting for him to respond. He fights me briefly as he stands, trying hard to get out of my hold. “No, Cole. Accept the contact.” I persist as I refuse to let him run from me. Surprisingly, it seems he wants to run towards the van picking him up, not back into the house. “Stay with me a moment son. Allow me to calm you.” He relents to my desire, slowly giving me the calm I know he needs to make a rational decision. “I know you heard the conversation. I need to know your thoughts.” “Dad sent him.” He whispers, his voice fearful. “I know. Your dad requested the change but the council honored it so the plan remains the same. You have pack members at White Ridge which gives your father no excuses for picking you up.” He nods against my shoulder before slowly pushing himself away.

“Come.” I state as I gently pull him up and into me. He whimpers and fights briefly before taking hold of me tightly. We simply stand in silence, waiting for the trauma of leaving to subside. I wait for him to push away first, following his lead for when he’s ready to start out towards the front door. “Would you like some Ativan? It won’t take effect until you're well on your way north so it won’t alter your ability to decide to stay or go but it will make the trip easier to handle.” “Please.” Is all he manages to whisper against my neck before he pushes himself up to stand on his own. “Stay.” I whisper just as quietly as I step away from him into the attached bathroom, opening the cabinet and pulling out the low dose Ativan that I keep there. I return in front of him cupping his chin in my hands, lifting his head so he’s looking straight instead of the floor. He whimpers subtly as he pulls away but I don’t allow him to leave me. “Easy there, son.” I whisper as I use my thumbs

His eyes are wide with my explanation but he slowly removes his shirt as I’ve requested. “Put it on my desk.” I keep my calm helping him along when he appears lost. “Please.” He pleads helplessly. “It’s okay.” I try to comfort him. “No sir. It’s not okay. I’m not okay.” “I know. That’s why I’m doing this. Don’t step away.”I instruct as I close the distance between us. He accepts my embrace as I pull him into me again. There’s one test that I’ve never done with him as I’ve respected his sensitivity towards his back being touched but today I’m using that sensitivity to break him down in the hopes that he’ll be better able to handle leaving. It could also lead him into a complete breakdown requiring me to place him on a mental health hold but I’m taking my chances. “What are you going to do to me?” He asks as he struggles to lay his head on my shoulder.“I’m going to touch your back.” I explain as I guide his head down and pet the back of his head. “Please, sir. You don’t know h

It’s as we sit in silence that his frantic sobs finally quiet and are slowly replaced by the steady rhythm of his slightly wheezed snore. He hasn’t slept or ate right in the last two months and his condition shows it easily as he’s nearly back to the same weight he was when he got here despite our efforts to counteract his depression by upping his medication. I close my eyes and lay my cheek against his head as I listen to everything around me. I reassigned everyone that normally helps in the pack house to other tasks, closed the med wing with the exception of emergencies and canceled all the meetings that were scheduled today. I knew today would be tough but nothing could have prepared me for the brutal reality of this young man choosing to leave. The pack house is eerily quiet as if the house has been swallowed whole in preparation for the sadness, the sheer trauma of his departure. I have no idea how long I’ve been sitting with him when the shuffle of my mate’s feet starts down t

Friday July 20th; 8am(Cole’s POV) It’s been a month since my meeting with alpha discussing my options for getting out of the hell I call home. I was allowed to take the hard splint off for good two weeks ago but that hasn’t kept me out of the med wing. I’ve been in a steady slide into severe depression and I’ve had to seek the comfort of both alpha and Dr. Pierce when my feelings have become too extreme for me to handle alone. My mood swings have been so wild that I’ve gotten extremely nasty with Jessa. I so much as begged alpha to send her on a trip with Alpha Damian until today because I knew how badly I was hurting her. I didn’t mean to hurt her and I know I’m going to pay dearly for my lack of control when I return. Sleep is scarce at best and eating is nearly impossible. I can’t begin to describe how many times I have screamed myself awake, fighting alpha’s hold around me just to break down and cry in his arms. The anticipation of returning after six months of relative peace

“This is also the reason why we don’t want you to wait for the committee to remove you. The information that your father has access to without much digging on the process says if you make it to the final step in the investigation ten members of the council will move into your pack and you will be simultaneously moved out. The move is permanent no matter if you go to trial or not as the council members that move in are not simply investigating you.” I stop my gentle rub just under the hem of Jessa’s shirt and cock my head slightly as this was where Dr. Pierce had essentially stopped when breaking down the process.“So what are they doing when the committee starts their nine month investigation?” “What they’ve done for ten years now is remove the wolf being investigated to a temporary sanctuary pack within an hour’s drive of the regional committee’s headquarters. The pack has constant contact with the committee and as soon as any feral behaviors are seen the wolf is placed in the pack
