The Son of Red Fang by Diana Sockriter novel Chapter 342

Chapter 342

There’s something about his refusal to talk that tells me he’s determined to leave in July and I can’t stand the idea of him leaving me. I feel this is a unique situation where we are completely alone and I can push him a little farther than i normally would to get answers from him.

“I understand that you don’t want to talk about breaking into your father’s computer. I get that, I really do. This room is soundproof and no one is going to bother us. I need you to open up to me. It’s a lot to ask of you but it seems like you’re determined to return home and I need to understand why.”

I explain my position gently as I slowly walk back to the desk. He’s completely stopped working on the computer, staring at me intently, Worry and fear consume him as he briefly makes eye contact with me. I watch him as he takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. A clear sign that I spiked his anxiety. Using that to my benefit is a dangerous move but I’m hoping to get him angry instead of the normal childlike breakdowns he’s been having.

He returns to his typing, remaining silent. I give him several minutes before trying again.

“How old were you when you first accessed your dad’s Big Brother program?”

I decide to try and work up to the information he’s so hesitant to give me.

“Nineteen.”

His reply is simple and barely audible, even with my heightened werewolf hearing, I barely pick up on what he says.

“So after you moved back into the pack house from your apprenticeship with the Jenkins.”

He nods silently as he continues to type and click.

“With your permission, alpha, I’d like to unlock your programming so you can access five years of video feed easily but in doing so, I will need you to come over here and create a password so the information feed is

encrypted.”

Although I have always appreciated one’s ability to remain serious and on topic I’m also frustrated by his inability

to open up.

“Are you ready now?” I ask almost shocked that he could have done it so quickly.

“Based on the research I’ve done on the company, you fill out a questionnaire that tells them what you’re looking for and when you sign a contract with them they set the program up to your specifications. If you need to change those parameters then you have to pay them to come out and change them.”

“Yet you figured out how to hack into their system and change those parameters for nothing more than seeing if you could?”

I try to keep my voice calm but I can tell by the way he looks at me that he can hear the irritation behind t

“No, alpha, I concentrate my learning on skills that I need to know.”

“Why did you need to know this?”

“Cole?”
