<b>“</b>The help the girls truly needed was discovered by ident as well. No matter how he tried to stop it, two separate rumors got started and awwballed out of control. By the time he was eighteen, he was branded a pedophile hased on the untrue rumor that he was raping them. The second rumos spread underground between the girls that he was helping. Those who have visited him for help would, in turn, bring their friends when they needed the same be They look for him while he’s away leaving notes behind after they have sought refuge in has toom. I’m not certain if he said when it started but he did sér that there are five mothers that bring their daughters to him.”
“There are adults bringing pups to him? For what?”
Lucas is still spitting venom despite my effort to exin. I look sadly over at Cole, grateful that Ang didn’t rush him out of the room allowing him to hear what I tell my crew. He needs to understand that his information is safe with me.
“He protects them.” I finally speak softly.
“From what?” Patrick’s tone is much softer than I expected.
“I have an idea of what’s going on but if what I think is happening is in fact happening, then the information Cole gave me would put <b>him </b>in grave danger if it gets into the wrong hands. He doesn’t have a true understanding as to the significance of what he’s doing. All he and the girls he helps understand is that the benefits of what he’s doing, of what he’s giving them, outweighs the <b>risks</b>. At least any <b>risks </b>to the girls.
Unfortunately, the rumors that he’s a pedophile has led to a simr situation with pack members as he has <b>with </b>Luna Sasha. The condition that he arrived in on Monday is a direct result of false allegations from both Luna Sasha and the father of twin daughters that he has never seen
“Do you believe him, boss? That it’s possible for members of his pack to purposely im he’s hurting their pups so he gets punished for <b>it</b>?”
“He’s from Red Fang, the most brutal and unforgiving pack out there. I forced Madilyn to ept his helpst night and I left her with him even after she felt better. You know me <b>as </b>well as Lilly does. I don’t leave my pups with just anyone.”
Patrick is nodding his head at the end.
“You won’t tell us what he’s doing to the girls, will you?”
I hear Cole hold his breath. <b>I </b><b>know </b>what he’s thinking I’m going to do but I’m not.
“No sir. Disclosing the exact <b>nature </b>of what he’s doing before I can get all the facts around it correct would put him in danger should he return to Red Fang. Even my own son has proven how the wrong information can put the young man in danger that he doesn’t deserve. Ang, I would like you to sedate him on the heavy side. Start with one and a half milligrams of Ativan, clean up his face and do a general exam of his upper body. <b>I </b>want a report on my desk of what you find as soon as possible so <b>I </b>know the severity of consequences Lucas is going to face for this.”
“But dad….” Lucas tries to interrupt but I keep going instead.
*Try to get him sedated enough for the scanner. I want X–rays of his head, face and ribs. Both his chest and back. I want a CAT scan of his head and liver. If you find it necessary you can add his abdomen to the list.”
“Yes sir. Will you be joining him?<b>” </b>
“I’m far too angry to benefit him right now. Plus I have other things I need to deal with first.”
“Demetri?” Lilly’s voice is soft and uncertain.
“You know better than to hesitate, Lilly.”
She sighs heavily. “He’s begging you not to hurt Lucas.”
“Who the fuck does he think he is? I <b>know </b>what’sing to me and unlike your weak ass, I can handle it.”
“He’s not weak. I grow <b>at </b>my son.
“I understand that you have <b>a </b>very different experience with physical punishment than most of us here have experienced. With that being said, I am a strict and unforgiving alpha and when ites to assault, physical punishment <b>will </b>be implemented.”
I look at my son to see his cockiness has yet to fade.
“The severity of which will be determined by the severity of your injuries.”
I stare into Lucas’s eyes once again, pissed at hisck of remorse as I hear Ang start wheeling Cole back into the medical wing. I snatch the back <i>of </i>Lucas’s neck hard enough that he can’t hold back his whine, before pushing him towards the stairs.
“Patrick, Parker. I will meet you in my office in five.”
“Yes sir.” They chorus in unison as my son and I head up the stairs to his room.
