“Cass, as much as you don’t want to, we can’t let him leave.” “I know.” His response is barely heard but it’s enough to cause him to struggle. “Please, Colton. Submit to me, son.” Cassius remains calm and gentle as Colton pushes against him causing a new series of yelps to start before collapsing, sobbing softly. “I’m sorry Colton. Your mental health is worse than your physical health. I can not let you go. Not until you’re healed and making appropriate adult decisions. I will work with you. Your input is important and will be considered but right now you’re in a really bad situation that needs the support of a gentle leader.” He pauses as he keeps his touch gentle but predictable. “Based on your response to me I believe you have had such a leader before.” “Sir?” I can barely hear Cole as he attempts to speak. “It’s okay to tell me what you need.” Cassius encourages softly. “Your arm. The one around my back.” I can hear the hesitation in his voice. “You sound uncomfortable,

“Cassius has agreed to help you remain calm while I am placing the IV.” “In the hospital I had one in my ankle. It hurt every time I moved.” “It may have been the easiest place to put one. I did notice while I was holding your left after I attempted to set it that most of your larger veins have been damaged. That kind of damage usually comes from either IV drug use or a lot of trips to the hospital. Considering your fear of needles I would say the ladder is most likely.” “How are you going to do it? I’m sorry. I really don’t like shots or needles. I want to run just talking about it but it just hurts too much for me to even stand. I’m sorry but I…. I….” Cassius stands from his seat and gets behind Colton as he starts a slow spiral, one that I’m hopeful Cass can stop. He draws his arm across his chest again. Colton instinctively grabs him with his right arm. I slowly move the stool behind the chair so Cassius can sit while trying to calm Cole. “It’s okay to seek me. This is actual

‘Try to be available if she needs help. I will leave a note with instructions on what I would like her to do but she also knows she’s her own person here. She has her phone and knows to call you. She also has a link with me. I’ll link with Dr. Hammond for a late consultation appointment so we can get a better understanding of sex while she’s pregnant.’ ‘Relax honey. You have this more under control than you think. Ari knows I’m available the same as you and if she chooses to shadow me then I’ll show her around the easier things we do.’ ‘Thanks mom. I truly appreciate you.’ We break off the link as I exit the shower for the dryers, one of the quickest ways to get ready. I throw on some business casuals as I link with my beta, Braysen. ‘I’m very sorry for the short notice but I need you on point with the pack today.’ ‘What’s going on now?’ ‘Well I’m very sorry to interrupt your latest fling but Dr. Leroux stumbled upon a stray in need of assistance. Despite telling him I would lay

“Aaron, where are the curtains?” I ask cautiously as I noticed Colton opened his eyes as soon as I took my arm from around him. It’s easy to see the deep unrelenting fear that is consuming him within them. “Carol and Chasity are bringing them in from the closet. He’s a werewolf. It should be nothing to get changed with a crowd.” “Cassius!” Deven shouts my name. I turn in time to see the young man take off in a sprint towards the door. Fortunately the mix of Valium and Vicodin has slowed him considerably and in three big strides I’m in his path. His panicked run is blind as I wrap my arm around him and pull him into me. He yelps and screams as he pushes against me with both hands. I hate doing it but I slide my hand onto the back of his neck. He freezes instantly showing me how intensely ingrained his instincts are. “Come close. Lay your head. You’re having a horrible time right now.” I relax my pressure on his neck as he submits to my suggestion. He grabs the back of my shirt wi

The file was nearly a year old and had a lot of pictures included. He had been hit dozens of times with the buckle end of a silver lined belt. He had an extensive second degree burn on his left thigh that had been allowed to become infected and he had evidence of being injected with multiple drugs. Alpha Black ended up putting him in the ICU for a week when it was discovered that he had both silver and blood poisoning. When she went through the evidence given for the ferality trial the first thing she noticed was that the submitting alpha included a lot of very grainy black and white photographs of the rape of children by what was obviously an adult. Upon closer inspection she was able to tell about a dozen photos were garbage as they held the telltale signs of being photoshopped. She didn’t throw them away though. She wants them as a different type of evidence. Once those were sorted out about a dozen of the pictures contained the same individual and there were a good handful or two
