<b>Chapter </b><b>173 </b>
I follow slowly behind Ang. The room we’re going to is much smaller than the others so I allow her to get him settled before <b>entering </b>myself. 1 link with Lilly, asking her toe to the room. Ang ces her hand on my shoulder bringing me back <b>from </b>my link. It took a few minutes but in the end I believe that she’s willing toe.
“Fortunately this is the warmest room in the wing but I still got him an extra nket. His temp is down again.”
“I imagine so.”
“I’m headed to bed unless you need anything else.”
I pull Ang into a <b>hug</b><b>. </b>
“Thank you. Hopefully we’re right behind you. Just do me a favor.”
“What’s that?”
“Make sure whoever’s on call doesn’t wake him. We both know that sleeping is important for healing.”
“Of course,<i>” </i>
She smiles as she walks <b><i>away</i></b>, cing her hand over her mouth as she yawns. I continue down the hall, stopping just outside the door. I can hear the television ying but the volume is too low for me to understand what’s on. I smile gently at Lilly as I see her <b>turn </b>the cornering back down to the med wing. She stops just outside his door, worry in her eyes.
“He has a very high protective desire with the pups.”
I reassure her, cing my hand on her cheek. She nods her head silently but I know she’s not convinced.
I usher her into the room, it’s half the size of the other rooms but still big enough for two adults to sitfortably in with the patient. He’s sitting up in the bed, the nket is unfolded sitting <b>just </b>above his knees and I can see the ck sweatpants he wore downstairs covering his legs.
“When did you get those back<b>?</b><b>” </b><b>I </b>wonder out loud..
“Dr. Pierce grabbed them on the way out.”
He’s speaking calmly with me and I can’t help but smile. Madilyn perks up immediately upon seeing him, nearly jumping from her mother’s arms to get in the bed with him, a broad smile on her face<i>. </i>
Her smile fades quickly once she’s on the bed as he sits up even further, stopping her froming up to the head of the bed with him.
“What’s wrong?”
She asks quietly, tears forming in her eyes from the rejection she feels.
“It’s okay for her to be here Cole.”
“No alpha.”
He’s stern in his response leaving me speechless and shaking Madilyn up even more. He sees her tears falling but <b>there’s </b>something about <b>the </b>situation that forces me to stop Lilly from taking Madilyn back and allowing it to y out.
“I’m sorry, Madilyn. I didn’t mean to make you feel unwee.”
His voice is much softer, attracting her attention to him.
<b>“</b><b>I’ve </b>only been here two days and it seems so far that this is a very different world than the one I live in. The pups at my pack are often told, like Lucas told you, not to listen to me because I can’t be trusted. If you want to be with me, however long your parents allow, then <b>we </b>must have an understanding with each other.”
