<b>Chapter </b><b>203 </b>


    “Well I’m fairly certain that we all saw Cole approaching the yground from the direction of the dorms. His change of clothes concerned Patrick and <b>he </b>voiced that he was contacting you before we saw his eyes cloud. The ssic link look. He wasn’t happy with you telling him that you knew they were together but left it alone. He asked me to keep an eye on them because he didn’t trust Cole and didn’t like the fact that he changed his clothes alone in his room with Lynnie there.


    Once he got closer to the yground he let go of Madilyn’s hand and let her go y. He wandered around until he spotted Jamie where he attempted to sit down and chat but he kept squirming, like he was in a lot of pain. I guess he got frustrated because he only stayed five minutes, called Madilyn back to him and started leaving. He was moving fairly quickly for the amount of pain he seemed to be in but Lucas came out of nowhere. He was loud enough that everyone at the park heard him calling him a pervert and demanding that Cole give him Madilyn. Cole argued that you left him in charge of her. That he was responsible for her safety. He repeatedly told Lucas to call you or mom. That he would willingly give Madilyn to either of you but he would not force Madilyn to him because she was scared of him. At least that’s how I took his words and actions.


    He kept backing away with his hand on Madilyn who was clinging to his leg. I could hear her screaming but I don’t know what if anything she was screaming. Then he hit him. I grabbed Patrick and Parker and started running towards them but he already had Cole on the ground and wasn’t letting him up. At one point Madilyn got between them but it was as if Lucas was blind because I heard her yelp. I don’t know where or how she was hit but I’d know her yelp anywhere. Cole snatched her up and used his own body to protect her. The yelps and screams were deafening as we got closer.


    All three of us tackled Lucas to the ground at the same time. He was cursing us, yelling about how we let a pervert run off with Madilyn. One of us ended up rxing our hold on him and he jumped up and took off for the pack house. It took all of us a moment to get up and run after him.<b>” </b>


    “Thank you, Damian. Patrick and Parker. Do you have anything you want to add?”


    “I don’t think I saw anything different. All I really remember was Damian grabbing my arm and yelling that Lucas was attacking Cole. I hesitated at first because it’s Wednesday. Lucas should be in school today as, to my knowledge, his schedule wasn’t going to change until after midterms were taken and all the prospects had gone through their physicals.”


    Parker reminds me of the part time school program Lucas is scheduled to go into so he could start learning how to train the prospects.


    “Pat? Anything you want to add?”


    “I do but I need you to listen all the way through because I have no other way of exining myself.”


    “I’ll hold my tongue.”


    “Although I have advocated for sending him home as soon as he’s well enough to travel and part of me still feels that way.”


    He pauses as he holds his hand up enforcing his request to be heard all the


    way through.


    “During my travels trying to find my fated mate I’ve interacted with a lot of alpha males. Both young and old and I have never seen the protectiveness towards a pup from an unmated, unmarked alpha male that I saw today.”


    He sighs hard as if he’s trying to figure out the new position he’s taking with Cole.


    “I still don’t trust him. Even with you changing your stance with him after he exined his situation with the girls. I simply can not ignore the rumors but…..”


    He pauses again trying to collect his thoughts while my attention ispletely on him.


    “When he grabbed Madilyn after hearing her yelp. He had to change his position in order to protect her from the blows he was receiving which left his side open to Lucas’s attack. He sacrificed himself. Allowed himself to bare the blows to keep her from receiving anything more than that single one. The young alpha males that I’ve seen in simr situations do not react this way unless they are the official pack leader.”
