“He texted me around eight. I wanted to delete it but something about it made me open it instead. He said that he had a bad day at school and he missed talking to me. When I suggested talking to you he claimed that you were too busy dealing with the pedophile. He was really sweet and I wanted to talk to him. He said he would meet me at the door so I walked over to the pack house around 9:30. He showed me to his room. He locked his door and suggested that I undress. He explained that he sleeps naked to keep from overheating when he has a lady over. I stripped down to my briefs when he claimed that nothing would happen. All he wanted was to cuddle.
We laid down together and I was nearly asleep when he started touching and kissing me all over. I was nervous but there was something about it that felt good. At some point I ended up on my back with him on top. Everything felt good until it didn’t. I told him it hurt, that I wanted him to stop. I wanted to go home. He told me to stop my whining. He couldn’t stand it when girls whined like little babies. I begged him to just let me go home. When he moved it hurt even more.” She stops briefly as she starts whimpering, her tears falling steadily.
“I’m not certain when he realized that he made a mistake but suddenly he changed his mind. He told me to relax. His voice became gentle and consoling. He apologized for yelling at me and calling me a baby. That he didn’t realize how small I was. He didn’t think that my small stature would make it so painful and he felt that it was best to stop. He told me to stay still because he didn’t want to hurt me more. He slowly climbed off of me, went to his bathroom and brought out some Tylenol. I woke up later freezing cold. He was sleeping with his back to me so I got up, put my clothes on and used his bathroom. He was wrapped up tight in his blanket so I searched his room for another and I curled up on his couch for the rest of the night. We woke up late this morning, around eight or so. He was super nice to me. He walked me home after we encountered a wolf in the hallway. I could tell by his scent that he wasn’t a pack member. Lucas walked up to him. I could tell by his face that he was afraid of Lucas before he ever hit him. I wanted to say something to him but all I ended up doing was giggling. I don’t even know what I found so entertaining. I think I got home around nine. My stomach was cramping badly so I skipped breakfast, took some Tylenol, took a shower, then went to sleep. I felt a little better when I woke up but not by much. It still hurts. I was okay with what happened until he called on your phone.”
She takes several deep breaths trying to maintain her emotions.
“He told me everything would be okay as long as I didn’t talk about it. It was our secret. Then he called. Told me you knew. Then mom walked in while I was on the phone with you. Dad came home when we hung up. They’re mad at me. The only reason they didn’t spank me was because we were meeting with you. Mom said however many hits you gave me in your office I would receive at home. I’m a whore now. I don’t want to be a whore.”
She’s crying hard by the time she ends and I’m in complete shock.
“No. No Melody. Don’t ever call yourself a whore. What happened isn’t your fault.”
I speak softly near her ear as she cries into my neck. How? How could my own son be so careless? Could act with such blindness towards the danger he put Melody and how many others in? So many things are running through my head as I rock the little girl gently in my chair. I most certainly have a full plate to deal with.
