All Chapters of The Return to Crimson Dawn: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

“Does she have a pattern?” “She didn’t come to my attention until the end of her first year. Angela came to my office alerting me that she takes two weeks off every three months. I am a strict alpha with my pack and new transfers are not immune to my expectations. After speaking extensively with Angela and Kathy, I called Jessa to my office the next time she called out sick. Kathy felt she was faking it and simply didn’t want the workload she had. Angela was a little more forgiving. She felt that Jessa was sick but was concerned about the pattern. As I just started saying, I called her to the office the next time it presented. Angela just about dragged her there because of her fear of me. I knew immediately that she wasn’t faking it even though it didn’t aggravate my intuitive side. I asked a series of questions about what blood work or other medical tests had been done and upon realizing she never got the standard physical that all wolves get I ordered blood work to be done. Despite

She yelps even harder when I complete the shot. Despite her nod to my instructions her will is as weak as her fight. Again the three of us keep her where I need her and I get the Vicodin into her just seconds after finishing the first. She settles into a persistent whimper as I pop the cold pack and place it on her arm. “Dev, I’ve stayed quiet to allow this to play out but this has all of us very upset. I need to know what’s going on with Cole’s mate.” I shake my head. “That’s unacceptable. I command you to explain why you are doing something that is obviously painful before you ever explain to her what’s going on with her.” He’s understandably angry as he leaves his chair and approaches us. While his aura does little to affect Demetri and I, he’s only about halfway to us when Cole starts to whine. It’s when he’s barely a foot behind me that Jessa wakes up enough to struggle with his presence. “Please don’t beat me. Don’t rape me. I’ll leave on my own. Just give me a chance.” Her

“Take my hand Cole.” I reach out towards him. He slips his hand into mine but it’s impossible to miss the tremble. “Do you know what I’m looking for?” He nods, I wait. “The pain is easier to tolerate now that I know where it comes from. I’m scared Dr. Leroux. The pain is intense and I’m only getting part of it.” I nod. “I’m sorry, Cole. It will get worse before it gets better but her will to live is the biggest factor.” He nods as I let his hand go and pick up her arm. I run my fingers lightly down her forearm looking for the best vein to use. She flinches with my touch but no longer has the energy to even pull away. “Are you still awake, Jessa?” “Barely.” She whispers. “I need to run a lot of blood tests before I give you the medication that will start the dumping process so I will be giving you a multivitamin with iron to help with anemia. Are you aware of any panels that were done at Crimson Dawn?” “I will contact Angela in the morning and have her medical records sent to yo

“Use the twenty gauge to draw 2.5 ml don’t worry about air. Once drawn you need to switch to the twenty-eight gauge, reinsert into the vial and push any air and extra medication back into the bottle. You want 2ml with no air bubbles.” She whines sharply and quickly turns away from watching Demetri draw the medication. “Is this given like the Vicodin or like the antiemetic?” He asks. It seems he’s sped up the process not wanting to give her a chance to change her mind. “Like the Vicodin. No breaks. It will take about fifteen minutes for her to start feeling the medication in her arm. The pain will slowly spread out into the rest of her body as it’s designed to penetrate every muscle and organ before it reaches her wolf. You and I will need to assist in taking on the pain during the most painful hour as Cole’s pain level is already a lot higher than I want it to be.” He nods his head as he prepares the shot as I instructed. “Jessa, this is saline to clear the line. It may feel a l

“Jessa found you. Talked to alpha before I lost battle.” “You didn’t make her sick on purpose? I thought for certain that this was a cry for help. You just can’t hold back the silver anymore.” “Tell master I sorry I failed.” “No ma’am. I won’t tell her that.” “Please. You must.” “No ma’am. You must understand that you didn’t fail her. You have held onto this silver for far too long. Now that she’s in the safety of Alpha Demetri it’s time to let go. You’ve kept it hidden away, allowed it to weaken you in an effort to keep her safe. You just said your alpha is strict but fair. That he doesn’t allow abuse to occur. Do you not feel safe with him? With the decisions that he has made regarding your care?” I want to get to the bottom of her thinking before I leave her as she’s a critical part of healing Jessa. “I don’t know him well. Too sick to surface.” “But you trust Jessa and Jessa obviously trusts him.” “Yes she does.” She admits softly. “Now is the time my dear. You are safe.
