The Son of Red Fang
Chapter 216
“Damian!”
“What dad? I’m curious why he would be willing to worry about someone who’s out to furt him?”
“N’s not….”
“It’s okay, alpha. No one deserves to be belted by my father. He truly has no mercy.”
“What about your siblings?”
“Patrick, now you’re getting personal?”
“Isn’t that the point when you single out one you’re interested in bringing back? To get to know them?”
For the first time since I’ve sat back down, Cole looks up at me. He appears lost and uncertain, looking for guidance and reassurance.
“He is correct.” I sigh as I lean forward with my arms on the table. “Although it’s rare for me to have an interest in any particular prospect before they have all arrived, let alone before they’ve gone through the physical, the ones I do become interested in are given the opportunity to live in the pack house. They are given a guest room on the ground floor for a week to two weeks and I engage them in different activities and one on one training that the others don’t get. It gives me a much more intimate view of who they are. Dinner is the time frame we use for personal questions since I never have more than one prospect in the pack house at a time. Although I had hoped to have had more time with you to gain your trust. You are allowed to be reserved when it comes to personal questions Cole. It just helps us to understand who you are.” He nods his head.
“Beta Patrick, could you be more specific with your question.”
“Just for clarification it seems you refer to a spanking as a belting?”
“My father doesn’t spank.” Cole responds robotically.
“Then what does being belted mean?”
Patrick tries to understand what the word means since it’s not a common word here. Unfortunately Cole simply shakes his head staring at his plate.
“Have others received this belting?” He nods but doesn’t explain.
“Have your siblings received this belting?”
“Receiving a belting from dad isn’t something you brag about. I’ve tried to convince several parents not to allow Alpha Redmen to punish their children but with the rumors about me having made it to every man, woman and child no one is willing to believe the cruelty he’s willing to inflict even on children. Not until they’ve seen the aftermath of giving their child to him the first time. Some parents with multiple pups will give him each of their pups for punishment at least once just so they can use the threat of them receiving another as a means of control over them. Once pups turn eighteen the parents have no say in the punishment they receive.
I can’t say for certain if my older siblings have had it but I can say I’ve seen the signs. As I’ve gotten older it’s become easier to tell when the adults have visited him for a belting. Only the youngest ones manage to come out without being cut and that might only be because of their age.”
“Cole,” I jump in white he’s in a pause, not certain if he’s going to continue or not. “Do you have a general understanding of the discipline structure of your pack? Specifically how your father deals with spankings? I know you said he doesn’t spank but it does sound very similar to it.”
He nods his head slowly as he finally puts the forkful of macaroni in his mouth before going back to toying with the carrots on his plate.
“Alpha Redmen’s general rule is your age on your bare ass.”
“Are there any adjustments to his strength based on age or rank?” He shakes his head, slowly drawing a deep breath in.
“You’re saying you believe Alpha Redmen puts his fail strength into the backside of a pup?” Parker’s voice is as shocked as I feel.
