The Son of Red Fang by Diana Sockriter novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254

I sit silently holding Melody, waiting for her sobs to slow. Angela links me, asking about her parents coming back into the room. I agree, it’s time for them to come back and understand the next steps. I rub her back gently as she watches Angela and her parents enter the room.

“Do I have to talk again?” She whispers shyly.

“Not right now.” I reassure her quietly. “When I took them out of my office I put them in a special room where they could see and hear us but they couldn’t interrupt you. With the way your mom was yelling at you, I thought you would be more comfortable talking to just me.”

I loosen my hold as she pushes herself up, acting as if she wants to leave me?

“Melody, do you want to leave me?”

She shakes her head without looking directly at me.

“I just thought that’s where I’m supposed to be when you decide my punishment. I heard from others that have been spanked. You take your shoes off at the door.

She stops long enough to turn and point to where all the shoes are lined up.

“Then you kneel in front of your parents in hard submission while you explain their punishment.”

She explains it so matter of factly that it’s hard to believe how calm she’s trying to be.

“Why would I punish you?”

“For having sex before I shift.” Her voice is quiet with shame.

Melody, look at me.” I request as I gently use my hand to lift her chin.

She’s so convinced that she’s done wrong that she fights my initial attempts at eye contact. I wait patiently, my fingers resting under her chin, my thun gently rubbing her cheek.

“Melody.” I try again. She finally looks at me.

“What Lucas did isn’t sex, Melody. It’s rape.”

She shakes her head slowly as her tears fall hard.

“He didn’t force me alpha.” Her voice cracks as she tries to convince me. “If I had just stayed away knew that all he wanted was sex. Every girl he’s been with has said the same thing, over and over. Don’t get involved with him if you don’t want to have sex. I knew what it was going to lead to. I just didn’t know it would be over a few months. He didn’t force me to come over. If I had just followed the rules. No going out after nine. If I……”

“No Melody.” I finally interrupt. “He is a sixteen year old alpha with the added status of being my son. He manipulated you into coming over after you made it clear that your interests differed. This is not your fault. I’m so sorry this happened to you.”

I speak softly as she collapses back onto my chest, her body shaking as she sobs again. I place my hand upon her head silently consoling her, keeping it there well beyond the point of her sobs quieting.

“You have been very brave to tell me what happened last night between you and Lucas. You are in no way to blame for what happened and it’s very important that you understand that nothing that happens after this meeting is in any way a punishment. If you feel that it is, then I need you to ask questions. Me, Dr. Pierce, Dr. Richards, your parents. We can and will answer any questions that you have. Do you understand?”

I can feel her nod against my hand.

“Now, I would like to continue to hold you while I explain what happens next. Is that ok with you? You are allowed to tell me no. I want you to be comfortable so you can comprehend what’s going un

“I want to stay.” She whispers as she pulls herself further into Dy
