The Son of Red Fang by Diana Sockriter novel Chapter 247

Chapter 247

“Damn it, Melody. Stop fucking around and get your mom on the phone!” He yells callously into the phone.

“She’s not here. I sweat, she’s not home yet!” Melody hiccups through her tears.

“Stop being a baby. I don’t have sex with babies. I told you last night that I can’t stand that shit. You keep this up and you won’t hear from me

“I told you I was scared, Lucas. I didn’t want it. I wasn’t ready. I told you that it hurt.”

“And I told you to stop being a baby about it. You’re the first one to give me this much of a headache over it. Do you realize how many girls wanted me to do more? That have called or texted me endlessly wanting to hook up again? I should have never wasted the last four months spending time with you, convincing you of how gentle and caring I am.”

“But you weren’t! You didn’t care until after you hurt me!” She yells frantically over the phone.

I can hear her sobbing hard as I snatch the phone back from his hand, shocked at how easily he’s forgotten who’s in the room with him.

“Melody, it’s important that you calm down.” I try to soothe the frightened girl despite my fuming anger.

“Yes sir.” She manages to hiccup a minute later.

“Do you know who you’re talking to?”

“Alpha Demetri?”

“Yes ma’am. Very good. I’m sorry for my son’s disrespect this evening. He’s very angry he’s been caught and he’s taking it out on you. What I need, Melody, is for you and at least one parent to meet me in my office. Are either of them home?”

“No sir but they should be here any minute.” Her voice is still quivering as I hear a door close in the background.

“What’s wrong Melody? Why are you crying? Who’s on the phone?”

I hear the familiar voice of Annabel Wilson, my lead accountant at Crimson General, ask her daughter.

“I’m sorry mom. Please don’t be mad.”

“Mad about what? What’s going on?”

I can hear the anger building in Annabel’s voice.

“Annabel?” I try to attract her attention to the phone.

“I’m so, so sorry. Lucas said no one would know. That it wasn’t a big deal. I swear it wasn’t my idea. I didn’t want to have sex.” Melody blubbers through as I hang my head.

“What?!!!” I hear Annabel yell. “What on earth do you think you’re doing having sex with the alpha’s son?”

“Annabel?!!” I yell into the phone praying to Goddess Diana that Cole doesn’t wake.

“Hello?”

Finally I have her attention.

“I understand that this is a shock but it also appears to be a very sensitive situation where I need Melody to feel like she can talk about what happened without repercussions. I need you to calm down.”

“Who the hell are you to tell me what to do?”

Chapter 247

“Who exactly do you think you’re talking to?” I snarl back with as much energy as she gave,

“Alpha Demetri.” She states heatedly.

“Yes ma’am. Now, I need you to calm down.”

“You are not my alpha, She damn near whispers.

I sigh gently as she was one of my strongest opposers but I convinced her to stay as she was one of the best at keeping the books straight

“We both know why you stayed and that any time during the last ten years if you wanted to leave you could.” I respond gently. “Please, Ariabel. Í really don’t like the conversation I just heard between her and my son and I assure you he is being heavily penalized for his actions. Melody is not in trouble with me but it is imperative that Dr. Pierce and I meet with her tonight. It’s 6:45 now, can you, your mate and Melody meet me in my office at

“Yes sir, that should be enough time.”

“Annabel, I don’t normally interfere in the way pups are raised unless abuse or neglect is present but I need you to trust me when I say no punishment You didn’t hear the conversation. I am commanding you not to punish Melody.”

There’s a tense moment of silence while I wait for her to respond. She has no idea what happened between them and what little I’ve heard I never would have seen coming.

“I won’t put my hands on her. That’s the best I can do.” She snarls before hanging up the phone.
