The Son of Red Fang by Diana Sockriter novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190

“I’m going to hold them out for you to step into. You need to pay attention to getting your feet in the correct hole because I’m not going to watch. I’m going to close my eyes and look away while you step in. Then you need to pull them up and let me know when you’re finished. It’s not acceptable for me to be in here while you dress.”

She nods her head but her eyes are sad and confused.

“I’m sorry sweet pea. I don’t expect you to understand. The truth is, when the rumors get out, I’m not allowed to be around the pups. This is a very scary situation for me because I’ve never had an alpha leave his own child with me when he’s aware of the rumors. I feel like he’s setting me up to fail.”

“Fail at what?”

She asks as I repeat the process for getting her leggings on.

“I don’t know. What I do know is my failure results in getting punished.”

“But you’re a big wolf. Big wolves don’t get spanked.”

“Do you know where your shoes are?”

She runs to her closet and pulls out a pair of sneakers.

“Bring them over and I’ll help tie them.“.

She joyfully jogs over to the bed now that the awkwardness of getting her bottoms on is past us.

“I’m not certain of the discipline practices here but I assure you, the alpha of the pack, your father, can and likely has spanked full grown wolves. It’s just not something he’s going to talk about with you as it is a private punishment between him and the wolf who’s done wrong.”

“You’re so nice. Why would you get punished?”

“I wish I knew. It feels like no matter where I go I mess up and I’m either in the hospital or getting tied down to the alpha’s desk.”

Her eyes snap up quickly, looking deep into my own.

“I’m sorry, Madilyn. That’s not something you should ever hear.”

I speak quietly as I start to stand. She pushes hard into my abdomen. I wince hard with a soft whine as I fall back onto her bed.

“You’re not bad, Cole. They are. Daddy’s different.”

“I’m sorry sweet pea. I wish I could truly believe that. He has been the nicest of all the alpha’s I’ve met but I’ve barely been here three days. A lot can happen once things start to relax.”

I stand again but a lot slower this time, surprised at how much pain such a little push could create.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

I walk back over with a brush, spray bottle of detangler and four bands to do her hair with.

“You can’t hurt me when I already am. Climb up on the bed so I can do your hair.”

She scrambles up onto her bed without hesitation as I sit down behind her.

“Where do you normally get breakfast from around here? I noticed that the dining room was empty.”

“We only have dinner there during the week. The bus stops right outside the banquet hall so all the school aged kids get breakfast there before leaving. Only the dining hall is open on the weekends and that’s only when we have warriors living here.”

Chapter 190

“So you have breakfast, lunch and dinner at the pack house on the weekend. Sort of. It’s not the same as dinner. Maddie and I have breakfast with mommy and sometimes daddy if he’s not too busy, Lunch is usually with nanny or mommy but dinner is usually big. Anyone staying in the pack house comes to

dinner.”

“I guess that means I’m supposed to come to dinner tonight.”

I speak with a bit more contempt towards the idea than I intended.
