Chapter <b>183 </b>


    1 kiss her again bre sitting down.


    I connect my lightning cord to theputer then to my phone and scroll through the files to find my audio recordings, downloading what Cole pes bald p about the girls and saving it under ‘protection‘.


    “What are you doing now?”


    Lilly asks as I bring up my ‘Big Brother‘ security program.


    “Gathering evidence that he’s capable of being a protector.”


    “What exactly have you found, Demetri?”


    I scroll through all the different areas that I have cameras ced in my territory, both indoors and outdoors, while trying to think of everywhere he wild want to go to take care of Madilyn.


    I start selecting all the usual ces; the medical room they are currently sleeping in is the first one up. I take a moment to watch the video feed. The <b>glow </b>from leaving the television on gives me a great view in the dark of how rxed both of them are. I can’t help but sigh with relief.


    “You’re attached to him, aren’t you?”


    “It seems that way, I mean what are the chances that the one child thates out decently from Alpha Redmen’s bloodline is the one that is brutally abused and tormented.”


    “You got me.”


    I move into other areas of the pack house. The med room next to mine, the girls room across the hall and the hallway between the two rooms. Next I bring up the warriors dorm and bring up cameras on the main floor entrance and his room. Lastly, I bring up both the dining hall and banquet hall.


    “That should be enough”


    I sigh as I set it to automatically save twenty–four hours of data. I’ll scroll through the feedter and save what I feel is useful.


    “Are you ready to head upstairs<b>?</b><b>” </b>


    “Are you going to tell me what you found out about the protection mar understand what you’re protecting him from.”


    Especially since you’re going through all this to protect him. I still don’t


    “I’ll exin what little I found on the way up to the


    room.”


    She gives me a nod as I finish setting myputer up for the automatic save of the rooms <b>I’ve </b>selected. The program is designed to give me a constant seventy–two hour feed but I want to be able to go through this at my leisure to pick out his interactions alone with Madilyn. Once I’m satisfied I set myputer to the screen saver instead of sleep and stand from my chair.


    “Let’s head upstairs.”


    She smiles as I take her hand and turn off the lights before shutting the door. As we walk together down the hall towards the stairs I try to exin what information I have found.


    “So. I haven’t had a lot of time to do much in the way of research but when I went to the council’s website and did a search for protection marks a single hit popped up. When I opened it, it was an article written about forty years ago that spoke of a young male who was able <b>to </b>protect <b>pre</b><b>–</b><b>shifted </b><b>females </b>by marking them the same way we marked yesterday.”


    “Which would be why he got so upset. As an adult wolf, capable of handling the marking, it still hurts like crazy to be marked<b>.</b>”


    “I imagine it hurts these little girls even more considering they feel pain at a higher level and don’t have the same healing powers of an adult wolf. <b>Now </b><b>the </b>article didn’t go much into what allowed this male to be a protector but did discuss at length the type of children that he protected.

    I heard Tessa in here earlier, is everything okay?


    <b>I </b>ask as <b>I </b>sit on the edge of his bed.


    <b>*</b>We didn’t do anything dad. We’ve never done anything past second.” Damian whines defensively.


    “That’s not what I’m worried about, Day. I already told both of you that the rtionship was eptable now that your’re eighteen Rd. I’m oftested because she sounded really upset, scared actually.”


    <b>“</b>She onlyes to me when she’s scared.”


    I watch as he runs his hand through her hair without her moving. She’s asleep with her head and one arm lying upon Damian’s naked chest.


    “Can you tell me what she’s afraid of?”
