The Son of Red Fang by Diana Sockriter novel Chapter 455

Chapter 455

“I chose this hell, alpha. I was given a choice in the matter when he beat me to the point of needing the hospital wing; abandon Cole or accept my punishment.”

“How often does he belt you?”

I cock my head, curious as to why he’s changed his language to what Cole calls the physical punishment his father implements.

“I’m sorry but I think I’ve finally figured out what the difference is between a spanking and a

belting.”

“What do you think the difference is?”

I nearly whisper, shocked that he would reveal such thinking.

“Be still and relax. Nothing is going to happen to either of you.”

I wrap my arms tightly around Micayla as he stands and walks to his file cabinet, the same one he pulled the stiff, thin belt from when he demanded to know what my punishment was back home. Despite my anxiety spiking higher every step he takes towards the drawer Alpha Redmen has taught me well not to run.

“This was out, hanging on the wall when I brought Cole and Jessa in here after Lucas assaulted Cole the second time. He picked it up and examined it, hit his wrist with it. I took it from him before he could hit himself again. He commented on how it differs from what his father uses and that is what I want from you, Jamie.”

I choke on a surprised yelp when he says my name. Micayla rubs my arm soothingly as she

speaks near my ear.

“I know the first part of this meeting went wrong for what alpha wanted but he’s not going to hurt you. He’s apologized for hurting you and never put his hands on you.” She tries to remind

me,

“Jamie, I’m not going to use this belt on either of you. Ever. Even when you transfer into the pack you will never be spanked by me or anyone else. I explained to Cole that it’s only under extreme circumstances that I will supervise a parent using this on their own child and the minimum criteria that must be met before I will consider allowing it. I also explained that I will never implement physical punishment on gammas, omegas or anyone with a history of

abuse,

Chapter 455

I understand that you’re having a difficult time accepting the reality that you’re being abused but just because it’s not daily, just because it just started, just because you chose to accept the punishment over abandoning your alpha does not make it any less damaging. You are being punished at an extreme level on a regular basis over breaking a command that any decent wolf with half a brain would know is wrong.”

He stands back up from leaning over the desk, leaving a two inch wide, six foot long very worn leather belt behind. I inch the chair forward and tentatively touch the old piece of leather in

front of us.

I feel silly touching it as if it’s a snake ready to bite me and I make eye contact with alpha, looking for the laughing mockery that should be in his eyes. Yet all I see is sadness and concern. He fully understands what I’ve yet to accept.

“There’s no buckle.” Micayla is the first to speak about the observation I’ve yet to make.

“I could be wrong but I believe your alpha calls it a belting when he uses the buckle end of the belt.” I can’t help but shake my head.
