<b>The </b><b>Son </b><b>of </b>Red Fang
Chapter <b>259 </b>
“Let it out, <b>Cale</b>.“
<b>I </b>shake my head no as I start holding my breath. The deep burning sensation is coursing through my body and is growing in intensity. I yelp and scream in pain as he pulls me close, I can feel my body shaking as he settles me into a hug.
“Put your arm around me. Grab onto my shirt. You can squeeze and pull as much as you need.”
1 do as he instructs but it’s painful to move and I’m whimpering badly when I’m done. I feel him tenderly petting my hair. It’s the only movement either of us is making as I wait for this strange but incredibly painful symptom to go away. Symptom of what, I don’t know.
<b>“</b>Am I hurting you?”
Alpha’s voice surprises me. It’s incredibly gentle and genuinely concerned that his touch is hurting me.
“No.” I lie.
Despite the gentleness of his touch everything hurts right now but his gentle pets are creating a different kind of pain. One that’s familiar, easier to tolerate and I want to concentrate on it over the unfamiliar, unrelenting burn that’s trying to consume me from the inside out.
I remainpletely still and silent, concentrating on my breathing. In for five out for five. Alpha has tucked me into his shoulder, his neck providing a constant stream of his scent.
Although the first scent <b>I’ve </be to expect from him was different I found it calming when I was stressed. He’s now giving off a new scent. It’s equally as calming but different then before.
Slowly the burn dies down, leaving mepletely exhausted and ready to sleep. Yet the pain from the broken ribs and concussion are now screaming and I know rest isn’t going to happen.
“I’d like to get you downstairs to Ang in the medical wing. Do you think you can get down the stairs<b>?</b><b>” </b>
I nod my head slowly as I try to lift my head off the alpha. It feels like it weighs a ton as I whimper in defeat, putting it back down on the pillow as alpha gets up.
“I don’t like this. I need your help, Cole. Tell me what you’re feeling.”
I open my eyes, turning my head slightly, looking briefly into his eyes before the pain of the position causes me to look away.
“It feels like someone threw me into the fire pit. Only it started on the inside, in my chest.<b>” </b>
He picks his phone up from the pillow beside me, dials a number and puts it on speaker.
“Hello?” The familiar voice of Dr. Pierce greets him.
“I’m sorry for the early hour. I know you have things that you’re setting up.”
“I’m not busy and you sound worried, what’s going on?”
“Well I guess that’s the problem. Neither of us know. Lilly used the link to tell me Cole was in a lot of pain when she came in. When I got here it steadily got worse. Iid with him, pulled him into a hug so I could hold him through the worst of it but the act of touching him was torture. It’s calmed down now but the worst of itsted about three minutes from when Lilly linked me to when he started rxing.”
“Did he tell you anything about what he felt?”
<b>“</b><b>It </b><b>was </b><b>like </b>a fire started in his chest and spread through his entire body.”
“Burning is amon reaction to silver and wolfsbane.”
“We know he’s been <b>exposed </b>to silver”
