Rising 193_The Son of Red Fang

Chapter 193 

 “How do you know about that?” 

 “So the rumors are true? Are you part of that pack?”

 “Yes ma’am. Red Fang. Das, Richard and Andrew ganged up on my friend Jamie. They would have killed him if alpha hadn’t gone back and caught them in 

 the act.”

 “Well that exins the harshness of their punishment.”

 “What do you mean?”

 “Alpha Demetri matches the severity of the punishment with the crime. If they assaulted him that badly then it’s no surprise they didn’t want to sit at lunch yesterday.”

 “You saw them?” 

 “Yes sir. I supervise setting up meals in both halls. The dining hall for the warrior prospects starts and ends before the banquet hall for members. It’s rare to see anyone escorted by members of our security team. They looked pretty rough, quite submissive really. Then there was the young man that was brought here, yesterday and today by security. He was looking pretty rough too.”

 “You’ve seen Jamie?” I couldn’t help but get excited.

 “I’m guessing it was him. His face was bruised and swollen yesterday but he looked a lot better today. I imagine he’ll be </bpletely healed tomorrow.” 

 I’ve stopped eating as the stares have intensified again making me worry about why I’m so interesting to them.

 “Don’t pay too much attention to them.”

 She responds to my looking around trying to figure out who the staff is looking at.

 “Another rumor has started that has them a bit nervous. There’s a lot of talk about a rapist and pedophile being in one of the four packs that have arrived over thest two days. We don’t know his name or anything but some of the male wolves that have heard about it haven’t said very nice things. Some have even spoken of taking punishment into their own hands. That he doesn’t deserve to be a prospect if he’s hurting women and children.”

 I choke on my food upon hearing this. I watch Madilyn closely, looking for any hints that tell me that she’s going to spill the beans about me being the pervert that everyone should be afraid of. She looks up at me with a mouthful of food and smiles

 “Delta Ca?” 

 I hold my breath. I know this is it, the end to any chance I have of getting into this pack.

 “May I have a ss of milk please?” 

 I let my breath out slow as Ca leaves and returns with two small sses of chocte milk. Madilyn lights up at the sight and drinks it slowly, relishing the sweet vor. My eyes snap up to Ca’s as I feel her light touch on my hand.

 “Don’t look so terrified when the subjectes up, it’s a dead giveaway. Alpha Demetri would never leave Miss Madilyn in the care of just anyone. You will remain nameless, at least among the kitchen staff anyway. You have my confidence.”

 “Thank you.” 

 I can barely whisper as I take a sip of the milk. News that the rumor a pedophile is among them has utterly killed my appetite. Pushing my te away I simply wait for Madilyn to finish. 

 “Can I ask about how the pack works?” 

 “Absolutely, what would you like to know?” 

 * Reel like your rank matters but at the same time doesn’t*

 “Te not certam & understand your question”

 “The boys that startedughing after I had a hard time picking Madilyn up, they all went quiet almost instantly when you said something yet Madilyn called you Delta Ca. You reference Madilyn as Miss not Luna or Alpha, even though she’s the alpha’s daughter and you mentioned that most alphas don’t use their title. Back home I was trained to reference everyone by their title and name. The three previous packs were the same way. It was an easy rule that kept me out of trouble. Here, I’m confused. I have no idea how to speak to anyone without offending them.”

 Her eyes are soft but worried as I realize how I’m sounding.

 “I guess we are quite different when you put it that way. My best advice is, for now, reference others as you are mostfortable. They will tell you if they don’t use their title and you should do the same with them. Don’t get upset or offended, just tell them that you’re just Cole.”
