The Son of Red Fang

Chapter 255

Now considering the conversation I heard before you got home and what she just described, I believe Lucas used his status to manipulate her into the situation. I know we have had our differences, Roger and Annabel, but now is the time to let those go for the sake of your daughter. No more calling her a whore, Annabel. That tirade you were in when you got here. Telling her she deserves physical punishment. No more of that. I will classify it as verbal abger and you know the penalties for such actions.”

I’m genuinely shocked when I see them silently nod.

“Tonight, Melody will be admitted to the hospital wing. I want her on IV medications that will disrupt the development of any fertilized eggs. It’s a strong medication for a pup Melody’s age especially considering her size but the danger of her getting pregnant is far greater.”

“What reason do you have to believe that Melody is ovulating right now? And based on her description, he never finished. I don’t want her on medication so strong that she has to be admitted to the hospital.”

I’m pleasantly surprised when Roger jumps in considering the silent submission Annabel is now showing me.

“It’s because of Cole, isn’t it?” I look down at Melody as she calmly answers her father’s question.

“That’s nonsense. Why would some unknown he–wolf prospect have anything to say about Melody and her menstrual cycle?”

“Cole is in a difficult situation of his own.” I start, cautiously trying to answer his question without infringing on Cole’s right to privacy.

“He had cuts on his arms and bruises on his wrists.” Melody speaks quietly again.

“Bruises? Prospects are supposed to come in top physical condition. Why does his wrists have bruises? Was he in some sort of fight or was he being restrained for punishment for being a pedophile?”

Roger’s attitude has changed drastically to anger. I growl hard, interrupting the tirade before he starts.

“No adult in this pack will refer to Cole as a pedophile!”

I growl through clenched teeth, sitting up straight in my chair letting my rank become unquestionable.

“I’m sorry alpha.” Roger dials it back appropriately without losing his edge of anger. “It’s just with the rumors about a pedophile arriving in the territory coming from the kitchen and then all the boys are damn near celebrating Lucas’s attack on the pedophile, I would think finding out that a grown alpha male is scenting my daughter to the point of knowing she’s ovulating is quite angering.”

I allow him to express his thoughts, as I’ve never been one to use my position to take a person’s right to feel away but I do demand respect no matter the

circumstances.

“First, thank you for showing the proper respect as it will get you the answers you seek. To be fair, ander more normal circumstances, I too would be suspicious but we are nowhere close to anything normal when it comes to Cole. Unfortunately, because of your limited interactions with the prospects while they are here I can only give you limited information on Cole.” Roger sighs hard, thinking before he speaks.

“I need to know what you’re willing to share. We need to understand why it’s acceptable for this stranger to be scenting the pups and why you’re willing to believe him?”

I nod my head thoughtfully while lightly petting Melody’s head.

“So let me start easy as you have information that I need. Who told you there was a prospect here that was a pedophile?”
