All Chapters of The Return to Crimson Dawn: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

“I agree. It will happen. What else?” “For the moment, I feel he will be most comfortable in Cody’s tight fit pajamas. I know it seems odd but the medication I am using to make him more comfortable works best with body hugging clothes but he will need his own. Cody is six months older and six inches taller. The summer pj’s will work but the rest of his clothes won’t.” “I’ll be stopping over at the Nova’s house tomorrow evening. I’ll be getting his belongings while I’m there.” Cass and I stop as we see his mouth move but can’t hear what he says. “What do you mean you don’t have anything?” Sheila’s voice is as shocked as I feel. Cassius motions for Sheila to come over. “Hey little guy. I know you’re still afraid but I need you to talk to me again.” He brushes Clayton’s hair to the side. “Do you have any clothes, shoes, stuffies, anything?” “No sir.” “What have you been wearing?” “What they give me doesn’t fit except the shoes. Everything else is very tight and short. I don’t

“It is the reason I ran from the hospital. While I had heard the crying, begging and screaming the day before, the night I ran, I woke up screaming. I was completely alone and I had forgotten that I asked Andre not to stay with me. It felt like his presence made my fear worse. I didn’t know how much I needed him there. I grabbed the bag sitting at the end of the bed and put the clothes inside it on. Then I tried the shoes that were sitting on top, they fit too. Just like the doctor and my so-called brother, the bag felt familiar. Not just familiar though. It felt very important. I poked around the room, grabbed the unopened bottled drinks I could find and left. I got lost looking for the elevator. I ran into a nurse in the hall. She was nice and wanted to get me back to my room but I had already removed my bracelet. I ended up fleeing her and running into the elevator.” “What about the dream itself? You said that it’s the reason you ran. Do you believe it’s more than a dream?” “I do

Alpha Cassius, I am sincerely sorry for the rudeness of my sudden departure but I knew deep down I could never tell you where I was going or why. Unlike the hospital, I’m not afraid. Quite the opposite. I am comfortable and cared for. Two of the most foreign feelings I’ve ever known. Despite how weird that sounds I know this is even harder to believe. I have a calling, a greater purpose that I must fulfill. There was no way to know my purpose at Shadowlands until it happened but I do believe bringing to light the abuses your beta indulged in has made your pack a safer place for everyone. I overheard Deven’s conversation with Sheila and how multiple charges were coming against him. My sincerest hope is that he’s removed from your pack and re-educated. It doesn’t matter if spankings are approved and controlled by the council, no one deserves to be beaten. I may not be able to explain why but it is the truth of how I feel. No adult, no child ever deserves to be beaten. Again, I apologize

(Cole’s POV)It’s been days since I left Dr. Leroux’s house in the middle of the night. Considering August is one of the hottest months of the year, it seemed appropriate to travel at night. Unfortunately, it hasn’t worked out that way. While I had a few hundred bucks to use on a cheap motel room, I found out that check in is at 3pm and check out is 11am so I’ve been enduring some very hot, very long days. It was after I checked into the first one that I discovered a lot of money in a Manila envelope. It was so discreet that it was only when I pulled the blanket out that I saw it. As grateful as I was for it, finding it increased my guilt of leaving ten fold. Deven was nothing but nice to me, gave me things that every adult should know about yet were very foreign to me. He gave me a simple, black leather wallet and a smartphone. While I was frustrated with it at first it came in very useful on the recent one hundred degree days. I was able to look up homeless shelters that were open

(Melissa’s POV)I leave my seat as his struggle to contain his panic increases. “Cole, push your chair back.” He shakes his head as he tries to cover his ears. “Come to me, Cole. Stand with me.” He’s still shaking his head as he manages to stand.“Lay your head, seek my scent. I promise you’re not cheating on your mate doing this.” I whisper. To my relief, despite his slightly taller size, he does as I request. I wrap my arms around him, rubbing between his shoulders. I can hear a decent wheeze slowly settling into his chest. “You’re asthmatic.” I state, surprised at how honest his first comment to me really was. “Yes.” He manages to wheeze. “Will it ease up as you calm?” He nods against my neck. I continue my slow rub until he’s calm enough to step away. He fights mildly when I place my hands on either side of his face. “Please come with me.” I whisper as I hold him so his forehead is against mine. “Where’s your car?” He responds after a long pause. “About four blocks ea
