The Son of Red Fang by Diana Sockriter novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136

I take the hand he’s reached out to me. It takes a lot of effort but with a long groan from me, he pulls me into a sitting position.

“Once you’re cleaned up, I need to go through your hair and find that laceration of yours. Once I find it I will need to cut the hair around it to get a good view. If it’s long but not too deep then I can use surgical glue to close it but I’d still encourage using the lidocaine shots to numb it as the glue burns when it’s first put on. It’s late but I don’t think Angela has gone to bed yet so I’m going to get her help with this. I think you’re a little too shaken up from that dream to try to handle everything on your own.”

I nod my head slowly agreeing to the plan, standing shortly an

“It wasn’t a dream.” I whisper, instantly regretting my ance

“It didn’t seem like it was. Do you want to talk about it?”

I shake my head slowly waiting for him to start towards the door.

he does.

“I don’t want to remember alpha. It hurts to remember.” I whisper towards the floor. “I’m sorry I woke you luna.”

I look her way when I speak but my voice is submissive and weak as I struggle not to cry. She stands from her chair and makes her way over to me. She takes my chin gently in her hand and puts just enough pressure on it to tell me what she wants. She has a lot more confidence, making her feel like the powerful alpha and luna she is compared to two nights ago, making me even more uncomfortable than when she feared me.

I lift my head but my eyes are darting wildly trying to avoid looking straight at her.

“Shhhh. You didn’t wake us.”

She speaks calmly as she covers my eyes without touching my face. It confuses me that she’s aware of this method of calming me. It was Jon Jenkins that discovered that blocking my eyes caused me to shut them and for reasons I don’t understand, it has a calming effect. Jamie learned the simple technique from his father and has only used it once in front of Alpha Demetri and Dr. Pierce.

She touches my cheek gently while my eyes are still shut. It’s as I slowly open them that I catch her and alpha engaged in a gentle, loving kiss before she touches his face. I cock my head to the side.

Such gentle affection between alpha and his mate is a curiosity to me. My only exposure to mates being loving towards each other was around eighteen, shortly after I moved in with Molly and Jon.

Before that, what little affection I saw between my parents was usually savage and brutal. When my father wanted my mother nothing stopped him from having her. There were many times, up until I was twelve, that when she interrupted some of my harsher, longer punishments that he would unchain me from the desk before he was ready. But it was never a reprieve from my punishment. No, it was on those nights that I was restrained painfully to a chair and forced to watch my mother get viciously raped and sodomized by the wolf who was supposed to be her fated mate. The one wolf in the entire world that should never be able to hurt her.

I squeeze my eyes shut and turn from their view as tears escape my eyes. I gently try to shake the memories from my head, cursing the idea that such a loving interaction between mates could cause me such distress.

“I’m going to check on the girls.”

“Don’t wait up. I’m not certain how long this will take.”
