I smell blood and my fear is that she hit him hard enough to make his mouth or nose bleed. I run my hand roughly through my hair before pointing at Alice.


    “I want her gone, Allen. She packs her bags and goes back to wherever she came from before she came here and it needs to be quick as I’m certain Delta Anthony was disappointed when I ended Lucas’s spanking after only thirty seconds.”


    “You can’t do that!” She squeals like a spoiled child.


    “Yes, he can.” Damian, Lucas and Allen manage to say in unison.


    It’s the closing of the hospital room’s door and the shuffling of feet that turn my attention to another person entering the room. I turn to see the same green eyed, red headed wolf that helped me with Cole in the wingst week but his calm demeanor has been reced with frustration and anger.


    “What the hell, Alice! It took Millie and I four days to get him talking to us. You’ve managed to make him terrified in less than twelve hours.”


    “How can you ignore what he is?”


    “What does that mean?”


    “He’s a pervert.”


    “What?!!! Rumors don’t mean anything. Rumors around the hospital im you’re unprofessional but I didn’t believe it until now, seeing what you’ve done to Cole.”


    I end up smirking slightly when she puts her hands on her hips and pouts like a child. Caspian turns his attention to theputer in the room, typing quickly to bring up Cole’s chart. He’s shaking his head hard as he scrolls through the chart.


    “Unbelievable Alice. The only things done today is what I showed you how to do. At least you’re not adding forgery to your list of skills.”


    “He’sbative. He tried to hit me every time I got near him.”


    “Bull shit, Alice. I went through everything with you. He’s a highly reactive patient. His swings are random and in defense of himself, not targeted. If you couldn’t handle taking care of him then why didn’t you say something.” He sighs heavily before speaking again. “I’m sorry Dr. Christiansen. I know I’m speaking beyond my position here at the hospital but if Alice treated Cole like this because of rumors, then it’s no longer safe for him here.”


    <b>I </b>cock my head to one side, curious as to where he’s going with this.


    “I’ve seen first hand how damaging beingbeled a pedophile can be. While I was hoping this hospital would be better than Red General, if such a rumor has started here and it is the reason Alice has reacted to


    Cole the way she has then I feel it is best to move him back to the wing.”


    He’s speaking cautiously as if he’s afraid of reprisal from Alpha Christiansen.


    “You’re Alpha Caspian, correct?”


    I emphasize alpha because I’m curious as to his sudden more submissive demeanor.


    “By birth rank, yes.”


    “I don’t understand. If you’re born an alpha then you’re an alpha.”


    “You may be one to honor the moon goddess’s decision on rank but not all pack alpha’s do. I left Red Fang five years ago and this is the third hospital I’ve been hired at and the only one that even seems interested in my birth rank. I came close to leaving when I stumbled upon my mate. That’s the only reason I’m still


    here.”


    “Using your skills to explore different packs. Impressive.”


    “You’re a nurse practitioner, correct?”


    Caspian turns his attention back to Allen.


    “Yes sir.”


    “Then why the hesitation on rmending the move?”


    “You hired me as a nurse and I was raised to respect the position I’m given.”


    I nod my head.


    “Respectful and resourceful, I like it. You’ve been to the wing before, what will be your biggest challenge caring for Cole there? I want to duplicate what’s going on here for two days before we get blood to check his silver concentrations and trying to wean him off what he’s be dependent on.”


    “He’s on a lot of medication, alpha. I’m not familiar with how quickly or easily medication can be obtained at your wing.”


    “Allen, I want a four day supply of everything he’s using here and a copy of his chart sent to Dr. Pierce for review and purchase of what we need. Caspian, how long are you assigned to Cole?”


    “Two weeks.”


    “Any breaks?”


    “I don’t remember. I don’t think so. I was hired as a fill in so I don’t work a regr schedule.”


    I look at Allen and make my decision known.


    “You know my desire with Alice but at this point, you’re making this move happen as well.”
