The Son of Red Fang

I see Patrick cock his head, curious about the revtion.
“He’s refusing to leave because of two families and a bunch of pups that aren’t his?”
“I don’t know hisplete thought process on this subject yet but he is showing me a fierce loyalty and protectiveness that I have seldom found in other wolves that have rescued from better situations.”
“I think I can understand him wanting to protect Jamie and his family.”
“You do? Don’t be shy Damian, share what you’re thinking.”
“When I wasing back from the bathroom with Das, Jamie was asking about Cole. He was very concerned about him. Das started shit talking about him and Jamie defended Cole. Now Jamie is in the hospital. Das and Richard beat the shit out of him because he’s Cole’s friend.”
I lean back in my chair with a sigh. For his limited exposure to this type of situation he put two things together that I didn’t think of.
“It is usible that he believes that the one family that took him in for eighteen months would be endangered if he were to leave Red Fang. Especially considering that Jon, Jamie’s adoptive dad, took Cole to Red General twice after he moved out and used Jamie’s ount to get Cole the care he needed versus the minimum needed to keep him alive.”
I hear Patrick sigh. I know he’s conceded to some aspect of my n without me even voicing what my n is.
“What is the story with Cole and the Jenkins family? I thought everyone at Red Fang saw him as a pedophile until recently when this rape issue with the luna came up.”
“Cole was an apprentice with Jonathan Jenkins for over two years. Jon is a skilled carpenter and I guess Cole thought he could learn something from him. From what Jamie told me, Cole was seventeen when he started with his dad and had a lot of issues with showing up on time while he was living in the pack house. After six months, Jon started bringing it up and he noticed how defensive Cole would get whenever he felt he did something wrong. I believe Jamie mentioned several times that Cole not only showed upte but he was often injured as well. It was during the second six months he was an apprentice that Jon started fighting with Alpha Redmen to allow Cole to move in with him, to allow him to have a real apprenticeship with him. During those six months that he was fighting with the alpha he was also fighting with his mate, Molly.”
“Why would she be against him moving in?”
Dasha, who’s remained mostly quiet during the conversation, asks the question I’m certain everyone is interested in knowing.
“Even though the allegations have never been proven, Cole had not only been branded a pedophile, but that branding was known by the entire pack by the time he turned eighteen.”
I look around the table and see a mix of emotion from everyone, From shock to shame to confusion, no one knows quite what to say now.
“Cole was eighteen when his father agreed to let him move in. His condition was for Cole to report to his office the fifteenth of every month for personal training with his dad. Jamie is his mom’s oldest child at fifteen, and she and Jon had three kids together. I believe they were five, three, and one at the time. Two girls and a boy.”
“How old was he when this pedophile thing started?”
Parker can’t help blurting out.
“That I don’t know but it was very well established by the time he was eighteen. Jon convinced Molly that he wouldn’t have ess to the little kids and she allowed him to move in. Seven monthster, after a particrly harsh training session with his dad, Cole ended up in a situation where Molly and Jon, both warriors for the pack, didn’te home. He picked the kids up from the child care center, picked up food and cooked it for dinner. He ended up giving the kids a bath but he insisted that all three kids bathe together and that Jamie remain in the room with him.”
I watch as my beta struggles toprehend the story I’m telling him, opening and closing his mouth several times without saying a thing.
“Jamie said he was terrified to touch the girls when he discovered that they couldn’t wash themselves. Like Madilyn, they picked up on his fear and it upset them. He ended up falling asleep with the boy on the floor of the girls‘ room. When Molly and Jon finally got home Jon confronted Cole on what he did to
the kids,”
