All Chapters of The Return to Crimson Dawn: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

It took half an hour of steady work to get Cole’s bleeding to stop but in the end Darius was able to release him into my care. He has slept the majority of the two hours it’s taken me to drive us home. I’ve only stopped twice for my own bathroom needs. Somehow Cole has managed to wake up enough to walk me to the bathroom, wait outside the door and escort me back to the car. I didn’t realize until that first stop how much what happened affected me. Despite his significant injuries he’s been more than understanding. I pull off the main road, we only have fifteen minutes left before we reach the house. ‘Mav?’ I reach out to my older brother, twin and best friend. ‘You’re almost here?’ He sounds worried. ‘Yes. He needs help Mav. Taking on four wolves when his own is dormant could have killed him.’ ‘I told you I would take care of him. Don’t sound so nervous about bringing him home.’ He chuckles in the background. ‘He’s different Mav. The only way Darius and I could get his cooperati

"He said ‘How could you fail me like this? I had it perfect. I smelled the moment Cole’s wolf slipped into a coma and allowed David to do whatever he wanted for two hours. You lied to me. You told me you wanted a crack at him when he only had one more big beating left in him. I should have known with the number of times you’ve interrupted my punishments that you went the wrong way when I sent you to camp. Instead of beating him, you helped him. Instead of killing him and dumping him where he could never be found you released him. Moved him in secret to Goddess only knows where until he was healed enough to go rogue. You are a disgrace to this pack. You are the reason your mom, Kristoph, and I are being removed from the territory. Do you know why I killed your father? Because the bastard was putting a case together to prove that I was abusing you and Ashley. Yet that wasn’t enough. Somehow he got wind of what my plans for the pup created by your mom’s infidelity were and he planned on

I slam myself against the door. I can hear the wood splintering from each hit and it’s with the third that I finally make it inside the cabin. I pause just inside the door letting my eyes acclimate to the sudden change in brightness. Her screams have gone silent and it isn’t until my eyes adjust that I see the worst thing any sensible man could see. The petite little girl lays unconscious on the bed, her face is bloody from the multiple hits it has taken. She’s completely nude as is the man on top of her. He is twice her size and despite the sounds of the door breaking from its hinges, he’s yet to stop his depraved inhumane treatment of his own daughter. “Get off of her.” I growl in a voice I’ve never heard before. He continues with little notice of me standing there, grunting and moaning as he suddenly starts moving even faster. “Get off of her.” I growl even louder as something within me stirs. While it’s weak, I can barely hear the growls of a wolf inside my head. It feels as i

I sit quietly in the jail cell on the bed next to the young man my twin and I have been helping for the past two weeks. I can’t believe the turn things have taken with the kind and benevolent Colton Allen Xander. Leslie alerted me yesterday that he was struggling to come out of the drugs he was given, giving me the medical necessity I need to visit him in jail. He finally started showing signs of waking up late last night. I watch as he stirs, lightly whimpering as he moves his legs. He took a nasty hit, one in each thigh, of medication. The easiest way to down a wolf without fighting them. “Move slowly until you know how you feel, Cole. Things haven’t worked out fast enough and for that I’m so very sorry.” I speak softly as he stirs even more. “It would be best if you stay lying down until you’re fully awake. Leslie has been taking care of you the last couple days.” “How?” He speaks hoarsely. “It’s important for you to remember that even though Leslie was the one to arrest you for

After exactly two hours on the road Bradley turns the traverse down the gravel drive. The entire drive has been spent listening to Brad and Al talking business, mostly the new laws that have passed. I’ve been steadily conversing with Demetri through text messages so I know exactly how to approach a young man who is likely to be terrified and ready to run. While I have worked with several individuals during my time with Operation Underground the briefing I received to prepare me for caring for Cole was flooring to say the least. “Do you know where Dresden holds his public punishments?” I ask as we all get out. “We have a source here that said they change their training facility to accommodate it. They are supposed to be meeting us here.” An additional set of four council members are standing in front of the pack house. “I’m not certain if they went over this but the three of you are going in first.” I nod silently as they’ve yet to introduce themselves. “Sorry I’m late.
