<b>Chapter 425 </b>
We slow the bed to a gentle stop as I’m certain Cole fell asleep during the short ride down the hall to thest room on the left. Even though I’m certain his injuries are still screaming in pain it seems being dry and warm has rxed him some.
“Dem?” I look up from locking the wheels so the bed doesn’t move.
“I have some of your clothes in the small dresser by the door of my office. I almost forgot that you store some there in case you have to shift suddenly.”
“Thank you.” I nod once as I head to her office.
It doesn’t take me long to change and get my wet clothes into a hamper for washing b
enough for Kathy toe into the room and start arguing with Ang.
“You weren’t here to see the fallout thest time a prospect had pups in his care off camera!” She yells as I walk in.
I can tell that Cole is struggling with themotion prompting me to speak calmly but with
authority.
“Let’s back up a minute, Kathy. What is it that you need right now? We have a lot to do with Cole and I need to check on the girls.”
“I need you to sign off on doing the sexual assault exam on the girls. Lilly won’t do it no matter how
I exin what the protocol is. I also need you to sign off on doing one on Cole since he’s
unconscious and Ang is refusing.”
“Hold on, Kathy. No. I won’t consent to any of it.”
“You’re the one that created the protocol six years ago to protect the pups of this pack and now you
won’t follow through with it because he’s abused? He’s already branded? Your affection for the boy is
clouding your judgment and endangering your girls.” She speaks her mind forcefully and I can hear Cole starting to whine behind her.
“The answer is no. You’re out of line in trying to order the exam before an interview has even been
done<b>. </b>Madilyn linked with me and told me about what happened. That’s how I knew where they were
at and what they would need. She indicated nothing concerning. True to the character that we’ve
seen the entire time he’s been here his only concern was getting them out of danger.”
“Madilyn’s view <b>is </b><b>skewed </b>from all the time you have allowed her to spend with him. The same for <b>you </b>and Lilly. You have heard his stories and feel sorry for him. He can’t do anything wrong at <b>this </b>point. Why are you so quick to ignore the fact that he’s had your girls <b>out </b><b>of </b>camera <b>view </b><b>for </b><b>five </b>
<b>hours</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>
“Why are you so quick to assume that something happened before you even talk to <b>them</b><b>? </b><b>What </b><b>you </b>are asking me to order is not part of the protocol I put in ce and you will ept my answer<b>.</b><b>” </b>
“Why are you so willing to believe he’s done nothing wrong after all the problems we’ve had <b>with </b>this pack? With the damage the previous Alpha Redmen caused? Why are you so willing to protect him?”
“HE’S NOT KRISTOPH!”
Our conflict has gotten quite loud attracting the attention of everyone currently in the wing or even passing by it. Kathy finally steps back, bowing her head in submission, finally acknowledging her position as a beta.
She is still a doctor and started caring for me in myte teens so I do respect the line and she knows it.
“If that’s the way you feel then I request to be removed from this situation.”
she’s crossed
“Granted.” I don’t hesitate with my answer and my voice matches the tone she’s giving me.
She steps swiftly away leaving me to deal with a room full of shocked people and a quietly crying Cole.
“What was that all about?”
A shocked and confused Ang speaks as I turn away from Cole. I know he can feel the aura I was trying to keep quiet.
“I’m sorry Ang but it’s not something to be discussed right now but I will discuss it with you. Right now we need to get an IV started on ?ole. We need X–rays on his arm and head so we can put him in twilight and reduce his fracture. We need to shave his hair down so it’s easier to find where his head is split open and stitch it up. Since he needs twilight for the fracture, doing his head while he’s sleeping would be best.”
