The Son of Red Fang
Chapter 187
I follow Madilyn upstairs and call to her to stop in the med room her dad has me staying in. I grab a bottle of water from the fridge and pour her a drink of it in one of the small cups I find in the room before digging into the medication that’s sitting on the desk.
I pull my new meds out of the bag, placing the Singulair on the desk with the antibiotic, steroid, silver binder and Vicodin that I’m on. I grab one of each before popping them all in my mouth and drinking them down. Next I pull out the Trelegy. I uncap it, place it in my mouth and inhale deeply, triggering the medication to release. I hold my breath ten seconds before exhaling and putting that on the desk as well. I pocket one of the rescue inhalers before slipping my feet into my worn out sneakers and following Madilyn back out into the hallway.
“Where’s your room?”
“At the end.” She replies while pointing.
“Do you need help getting dressed?” I ask nervously, hoping that she didn’t.
“I know how to dress. I’m just bad at picking.”
“Okay, how about you pick the top and I’ll help match the bottom.”
“Okay.”

She giggles happily. I enter her room, which is larger than mine back home, and she guides me to her closet. She pulls out a simple but beautiful light pink, long sleeve play dress from her closet before showing me to her dresser. I sit down on the end of her bed and start opening drawers. I pull out a briefs, white, lace topped socks and black, fleece lined leggings. I lay everything out on the bed before standing and heading to the door.
“I’ll be right outside the door, call me when you’re done.”
“Okay.”
I’m enjoying her bubbly personality more than I anticipated this morning. I start walking a short distance away from Madilyn’s room, looking around the long hallway. There’s not many doors indicating that these rooms must be huge. The front of the mansion faces south and, in general, runs south to north.
As I approach the far western wall at the end of the hall, to my right there’s a large staircase leading to the upper floors. It curls around towards the east, the opposite direction of the stairs that brought me to the second floor. From what I could see in the dark, the outside looked as if it had four or five stories to it.
I turn quickly around at the sound of a door opening, it’s the one in the middle facing the north side of the house. I watch silently as a young, petite brunette exits the room giggling.
“Come on, Luke. What’s taking you so long? Your dad’s going to light you up when he finds out we both skipped school.”
I hear her explain with little concern in her voice.
“I’m the alpha’s son. What’s the worst the school can do? Tell him.”
A young man I vaguely recognize steps out of the room. I watch the young man with short, straight, light brown hair shut the door just before locking lips with the young brunette.
“But I thought you said there was a special arrangement with the school so you could start learning how to test the prospects. You have more than a full schedule Monday, Wednesday and Friday.”
“I’m allowed to miss a day or two of school Melody. Besides, I’m smart enough to make it up.”
“If you say so.”
She giggles innocently as Lucas spots me shifting uncomfortably at the end of the hall. His body stiffens as he heads down the hall towards me, his aura is powerful and it stifles my ability to breathe once he gets in my face.
“You may have my father fooled but I’m not. You’re a pervert that doesn’t belong in a decent pack like this. You deserve every bit of the treatment you receive at your home pack and I will go out of my way to make sure you go back early. Nobody wants you here.”

He spits venomously in my face.
He’s my same height but I refuse to look at him directly. The last thing I need right now is a fight with the alpha’s son.
