Semua Bab Bite Me, Alpha Cole: Bab 81 - Bab 90

 Nadia “Shit, Na-na,” Shayne says, turning to me with a grin. “Look at you, Boss Bitch!”My mouth falls open as I step close, staring at my name written in next to Chief Nursing Officer.“No way,” I whisper, staring at it – thinking that it must be some mistake. But then I blush and step back, knowing that Dr. Arbroth doesn’t make mistakes – not in situations like this. I shrug, glancing at my friends. “Nepotism strikes again, I guess.”“Or you’re just good at this,” Grace says, laughing and putting her arm around me, proud.I don’t even look up at Cole, knowing what his expression will be. Also knowing I’m not going to be able to handle it.“I’m on probation,” I murmur, shaking my head. “It shouldn’t be allowed.”“No r

Cole I sit in General Amir’s chair as he stands behind me, my body tense, arms folded. My father’s image appears on the computer screen, his face more serious than it usually is, while a second black box loads. I lean forward as it flashes to color, Jude’s image taking shape.“Sorry,” dad says, nodding to us. “Took a minute to get him.”“Bath time,” Jude murmurs, dry, running a hand through his damp hair.“You guys are aware of this?” I snap, kind of livid that they didn’t inform me immediately.“I’m not,” Jude says, frowning at the screen and glancing at dad. “What’s up?”I flick my eyes to dad, who nods. “We’ve come into possession of some images,” dad says, starting to bring them up on screen. “And we’d like your perspective, Jude – ““Should Iris be in on this?” Jude says, looking toward what must be his bedroom door. “If this is a family affair and all –“ “It’s not necessary that she be in on this conversation, Jude,” dad says, putting a hand on his arm. “But we could use persp

Cole“Impossible to move right now,” General Amir says behind me, his voice grave. “The assault tonight prevents it.”“Right,” dad says, sighing, looking between all of us. “Shit timing to get this news. We should have consulted Jude on this as soon as we got the images from Ms. Lind.”I glare at my dad, thinking that’s right. Now we’re all seriously in danger and there’s no time to deal with it before we have to face something very serious.“Jude,” dad says, moving on to problems that we potentially could solve. “From your perspective, is there any way to aid these children? Get them away from the Children of Solace?”Jude shrugs. “Look, I’m no expert on it and I can look into it further if you want, but basic psychology suggests that these kids will have been raised to be terrified of you, even if they’ll find you fascinating. They’d do everything they could to get away if you caught them. And, like I said, they won’t hesitate to lash out and try to hurt you if you try to trap them.

Nadia “Cole, make me one too!” Shayne says, beaming at him. “But I want a pony! Or a chipmunk! Or a tiny child spy!”“I’m getting you the pony,” Will growls.She grins and turns her head to him. “I can have two.”He snarls and snaps his teeth at her, making her laugh again.“Hey Tommy,” Grace says, standing and reaching her hand for him. “Can you help me? I have to move a bed in the medical tent.”“Absolutely,” Tommy says, jumping to his feet, looking quite pleased to have an excuse to get out of here.Cole and I watch them go, waving a little as Will and Shayne turn their attention to each other.“Seriously, Cole,” I say, turning back to him, holding the little wolf flat on my palm again. “This is really cool. How long have you been doing this?”“Since I was a k

Nadia“Your father has informed me,” Arbroth continues, “that you’ve been checking medical texts out of the library since you were four, Nadia,” the doctor snaps, her patience at an end. “You’re the cleverest girl in this camp and the hardest working. If you weren’t so stubborn about flitting off to humanitarian projects – yes, your father told me about those as well - you’d likely be halfway through med school by now. And I’ve watched you – I’m not sure that medical school will teach you anything about field medicine that you don’t already know! So now go and help those patients – I deputized you for a reason! Whatever treatments you pursue have my explicit permission! Go!”I stare at her for a second and then take a step back.Arbroth gives me a final sharp nod and drops my arm, turning away.I tu
