The Son of Red Fang by Diana Sockriter novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174

“I was excited and you didn’t want me to hurt you.”

“Yes ma’am. That’s exactly right. Now I need you to be honest with me. Don’t ever tell me what you think I want to hear no matter if you think it would hurt my feelings. Honesty is what I need. Nothing else.”

She nods her head quietly looking at him intently.

“Are you still afraid of me? It’s okay if you are. As I just said, honesty is the most important thing to me.”

“No sir. I was sad when Lucas told me bad things about you. I didn’t believe him. I only got scared when you said you needed to touch my belly and my belly already hurt bad. I thought you would make it hurt more. So I repeated what Lucas said. I don’t know what a pervert is. I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. I just wish my skin was a bit tougher so that sort of thing didn’t hurt as much.”

“I guess it’s like Maddie calling me a baby when I get hurt. No matter how much you hear it, it still hurts.”

He nods his head to her assessment of the situation. She yawns hard, covering her mouth near the end. It’s obvious that the Ativan is starting to take effect.

“Would you like to lay down with me? Snuggle for a little while if it’s okay with your parents?”

She looks at me before training her gaze to her mother. It takes a moment but Lilly nods, caving into what she knows Madilyn desires.

“Yes you can, for a little while.”

“Thank you.”

Madilyn says with a smile on her face.

“I’d like to get in a better position for sleeping before I get you laying down with me.”

He looks directly at her, his hand cradling her chin.

“How about I help you a little with that?”

I offer, suddenly standing from my seat without waiting for a response. I take two steps to the bed and pick Madilyn up before she has time to protest. I stay beside the bed, offering my hand on occasion as Cole fights his body to turn to his right side. Madilyn is nearly asleep as I lay her on her side with her back against his chest. His eyes are closed and his body is tense as I lay her head on his arm.

“Thank you, alpha.”

His voice is quiet but sincere as I grab the blanket at the foot of the bed and cover both of them. I slip my hand into his. He’s hesitant to wrap his arm around her in our presence.

“Relax Cole. You know we’re allowing this.”

“It’s not you I’m worried about alpha.”

He admits as I lower his arm around a very settled in Madilyn.

“It’s how many strings you had to pull to get lung to allow this.”

“He didn’t push for this, Cole. He explained his thoughts and let me make my decision based on what he sees and what little I’ve interacted with you. Hẹ felt that you could help her; we just didn’t anticipate the level of help you would be willing to give. It made me nervous, the description of what you wanted to do but your willingness to be transparent, even after you said that it was better done with the gown covering the area you were working on, made it

(2) easier for me to allow. She likes you and wanted to be with you when Demetri suggested taking her to the bathroom.”

I’m relieved that she was willing to explain her standing. Hopefully it allows him to relax.

Chapter 174

“We both know it wasn’t a suggestion, Luna. The wording I used was inappropriate for my intentions. I struggle to properly comcat

to understand. I can get frantic when talking about the littles, especially if I think I’m feeling something that I shouldn’t be feeling towards them.

“Is that what you were struggling with? Feelings towards Madilyn?”

“Yes ma’am. I’ll tell you what I told alpha.”

He pauses. I’m certain he’s struggling again to convey the correct feelings without scaring Lilly.

“It’s okay Cole.”
