All Chapters of The Son of Red Fang: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

I pick the pair of basketball shorts that Damian favors up off the floor near the chair. They dropped to the floor when Cole’s reaction caused him to stumble and almost fall. I lean over in the chair holding them open for him to step into. He starts with his uninjured right side, sliding his leg inside easily. It’s when he attempts the same with his left that he struggles. He tries twice, wincing badly each time but fails to get his foot high enough. Before I can encourage a change in tactics, he lifts his leg even higher, but he can’t bite back his yelp. I cringe at the sound as I quickly get his leg into the hole of the shorts before gently pulling his leg back to the ground. He’s grabbed a hold of the post at the end of the bed with both hands as he whimpers through the pain. I pull the shorts up his legs and the waistband gingerly past the burn. I can see red spots appearing on the white gauze covering the open wound left after surgery. Dr. Pierce changed the bandage this morning

“What happened? You having a panic induced asthma attack?” “Yes sir. They always land me in the hospital. I’m stripped of my clothes and they find the injuries in addition to my mental illness. Three times they found out. Three times I answered their questions. Three times they insisted on painful medical tests to prove my statements and three times I’m punished for lying before getting sent home. Although I can’t say that I wanted to stay at any of them. I was at Yellowtail, Blue Mountain and Red Moon packs for three months, the same as the rest of the prospects from Red Fang. Even though they initially gave me hope that their recognition of the abuse may make it end, it didn't take long after getting out of the hospital for the alpha to show his true colors.” Cole seems to be settling down as he starts into his story, what he’s willing to tell. He’s finally found a comfortable position and decided to rest his head on my shoulder. I’ve managed to cross my legs so that his knees are

(Cole’s POV)Alpha’s touch on my shoulder freezes me in place. He’s been nothing but gentle towards me, more than any other alpha so far, but I’m struggling. The rumors of this being a really bad place still plague my mind. Every pack I’ve been to has the rumors of being strict and unforgiving and so far three out of four of those packs have been exactly that, unforgiving of my unstable mental and physical health.They convinced me to talk, to tell them what I’d rather keep hidden. I don’t want to be special, to be singled out and treated differently but I guess my father really has done enough damage over the years that it’s inescapable. Unlike the others, this alpha admits to being strict. Even his son said it when he boarded the bus before we all got off. I’ve heard stories from other members of Red Fang talking about how Alpha Black is one of the strictest alphas they’ve ever met. Several even complained of receiving physical punishment from him worse than from my dad.I am truly

(Jessa’s POV)This is not at all how I anticipated finding my mate. All young wolves hear the beautiful stories of how their parents met. I am no exception. Before they died protecting the alpha they always told me of how dad used training in different packs as a warrior to find my mom. Mom always spoke dreamily about the first time she saw dad. How he was taking a break after a sparring session, it was hot that day and he had taken his shirt off. He was toned with a six pack of abs. His sweat made him all the more attractive to her. When I was little I found the story disgusting but as I’ve grown older I’ve come to look forward to the same thing. The instant attraction to a young, buff male who’s ready to sweep me off my feet. Never once did I believe I would meet him at his absolute weakest. I knew walking up to him that his emotions were high strung. I could feel his mind swimming before I ever touched him but his reaction to our eyes meeting seems almost painful for him to add t

“Why Cole? Why are you afraid of me?” “The rumors. Soon enough you’ll hear of the rumors and you too will want nothing to do with me. I know you said you wanted to get to know me but….” His voice trails off and I’m completely stunned by this turn of events. “When you decide to reject, I won’t fight it. You deserve better and if that’s what you choose I will let you.” “You think once I get to know you that I won’t want you?” I’m so completely stunned by such an assumption that I can’t help but look to alpha. I know there's shock and confusion on my face as his eyes soften. “He originates from the Red Fang pack. That pack in general has a really bad rap but Cole, unfortunately, has some really bad rumors that tend to follow him to each pack he visits. Those rumors tend to result in him not receiving a fair chance at proving who he is.” “What kind of rumors could do that?” I see him open and close his mouth several times as if he wants to answer but nothing comes out. Alpha’s eye
