Chapter <b>311 </b>
I’m horrified at the yelps I hearing from the direction of Cole’s room. I let go of Madilyn’s hand, calling for Damian and Laicas to follow as I take off in a sprint down the hall to Cole’s room.
1 fling the door open without so much as knocking first and barrel into the room, my alpha aura zing hot. It only takes a moment for me to see what I never dared to think would happen to him here. The young nurse assigned to Cole is actively striking the young man in the face with his only true defense is to block the iing blows.
“Enough!” I bellow stopping her in her tracks. “What the hell is going on here?”
“He’sbative and won’t let me do my work. I haven’t been able to do a thing with him all day.”
I hear my boys walk into the room as she’s finishing her exnation.
“Lucas, go to the desk just outside this room and have them call Dr. Christiansen. I want him down here now! You, what’s your name?”
I point to the nurse who’s still standing beside Cole’s bed with her arms crossed.
“Alice.” She responds curtly.
“Go sit in the chair against the wall.”
“Who the hell are you to be ordering me around?”
Herment gets under my skin badly and Cole whimpers softly as the anger in my aura explodes.
“I am Alpha Diemetri ck and you will address me with respect!”
!
I growl out fiercely enough that even Lilly and the girls pause as they enter the room.
I’ve yet to make it to Cole’s bedside. I’m walking slowly in an effort to not overwhelm him but his shaking hands and persisting whimpers tell me another story. I continue getting closer to the bed in utter shock that she hasn’t moved yet.
“You will move to the chair by the wall.”
I growl out from between clenched teeth. To my dismay she’s as stubborn as Cole is terrified.
“Do you realize that catching you in the act of assault is punishable by bare bottom spanking?”
“You wouldn’t dare do that to an adult, especially a woman.”
“Do not underestimate me.”
I have not only made it to the bed but I have made my way around the end and I’ve started slowly
approaching her. She has her own aura ring but it has little effect on me since she is just a delta level wolf. I’m only inches from her when I finally stop beside her. I can tell her tough exterior is waning but she still doesn’t move.
“Why? Why would you treat another living being like you’ve treated him? To hit him when he can not possibly fight or flee. To neglect him when he can not do for himself.”
She straightens her posture trying to make herself lookrger and taller than she is.
“Do you know who he is?”
“Yes, do you?”
My voice is hard and strained as I force myself to remainposed for Cole’s sake. Out of the corner of my eye I can see Allen standing just inside the doorway, staying back in the shadows. Alice’s demeanor with me hasn’t changed so either she doesn’t know the director of my hospital is now in the room or she just
doesn’t care.
“He’s a pervert. A menace to women and children. Why are you even helping him?”
I’m seething in anger at her rant and it’s only because Allen has stepped out of the shadows that I stay
where I am.
“You’ve got to be kidding me Alice. First and foremost, we do not deny care to anyone. You’ve treated convicted rapists better than this and you’re using that as your excuse. Second, where did you hear such a
thing?”
“I overheard one of the young men from Red Fang talking to the other prospects while they were waiting for their physical. Why do you think no one volunteered to care for him when Millie called out?”
“Then why did you volunteer if you intended to neglect him?”
“Because he was my only patient.”
I hear Allen groan as Cole’s whimpers grow louder. He’s moved his hands higher so that they are now buried in his hair, once again, mped into fists in his hair. I take a deep breath trying to calm myself as I know that Cole needs my help but can’t handle me in this state.
