The Son of Red Fang

Chapter 164

“No alpha, I’m talking about doing more than having her lay with me.”

There’s a waver in his voice. A fearful hesitation that has Lilly staring him down..

“I can’t go into details so I need to ask that you don’t ask questions.”

That statement has all of us hooked.

“Okay, I’ll try.”

“The little girls in my pack. When they come to me, they are desperate, confused, frightened and in a lot of pain.”

“That seems to explain how you knew how Madilyn’s feeling. You’ve encountered the scent enough to recognize what it is. But desperate and confused? You said they come to you of their own free will. Why would they wait so long?”

I suddenly find myself with a thousand questions and then I realize that’s why he was so nervous about this in the first place.

“Although they are older and the reason for the cramps is completely different, they still come to me with painful cramping in their abdomens.”

“I’m starting to understand why you’re hesitant to talk. Madilyn has similar cramping as the girls that come to you and your desire is to help her like you help them but helping them is how you got labeled a monster.”

He nods his head slowly as he looks fearfully at Madilyn.

“I can relieve her pain, get her muscles to relax but I need to touch her. Skin to skin.”

His voice becomes a whisper as he finishes. Ashamed of what he’s asking permission to do.

“Lilly?”

I ask with a raised eyebrow as Madilyn starts crying again.

“I’m not leaving her alone with him.”

“Of course not. I’d never ask that of you. Although I will admit that I’m not used to an audience. At least not one of three adults.” He whispers quietly.

I stand from the bed and start pacing, bouncing my sweet Madilyn gently as she cries. I thought for certain that being in the same room as Cole mixed with the medication would help her more than it has. Although my original plan was to let her sleep with him, I wasn’t prepared for him to volunteer to help her the way he claims to help the kids of his pack.

“What do you need from me in order to help her?”

I’m at a complete loss on how to help her and I feel it would be selfish not to try. I did tell Lilly that I trusted him after all.

“She’s scared and in a lot of pain. She looks to you for protection and safety. If you choose this for her you can not intervene. That’s not saying that you can’t change your mind but if you do it’s got to be early in the process otherwise the cramping becomes even worse for the little one. I am a stranger to her. I expect her to be afraid. The younger they are the more terrified they seem to be so you must let me work her through her fear without force or commands. When she calms down from her innate fears of the unknown, I will slip my hand under her gown and place it on her abdomen where the cramping is. You absolutely can lift her gown at any time and watch but the warmer she is the easier the knots come loose. There is nothing sexual about what I’m going to do or the way I will touch her and if you can handle what I’ve explained, then lay her with me. Her back to my chest.”
