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.
