Chapter 135
I walk calmly back into my office, closing the door softly. I stop and simply look at Melody as she’s curled into the fetal position, her body shakes as she sobs. I study her for a moment, looking at her size and stature. She is quite petite for a delta, not much bigger than the average eight year old. How on earth my son thought that this tiny girl was ready to have sex has me lost in a bad way. I walk over to her silently and scoop her up easily. She screams in surprise and fright.
“Don’t fight, Melody. You’ll hurt me.” I calmly instruct her as I encourage her to lay her head on my shoulder, the comfort and safety of my parental aura giving her the freedom to fall apart emotionally.
I simply hold and rock her gently as she cries, waiting silently for her to calm. It’s as she finally relaxes that I sit in my chair, changing her position so she’s sitting in my lap but I still wait for her.
“Am I in trouble?” Her voice is quiet and meek, wavering slightly as she recovers from such a hard cry.
“You are not but Lucas is.”
“Why is he in trouble but not me?”
“Because he knew the rules and dangers of having sex several months ago and he chose to ignore them. He’s also much older and of a higher rank.” She nods her head slowly, remaining silent.
“How long have you and Lucas been dating?”
“Lucas doesn’t date.” She states monotonously while shaking her head.
“No?” I question.
“You’re his dad. Why don’t you know that?”
“Well I highly encourage dating and being serious with one person. Although there are plenty that choose not to be monogamous, I’ve tried very hard to explain how special sex is between two people.”
“It’s not special to Luke.”
“You don’t think so?”
“No sir. It’s a game. He wants to see how many young girls want to lose their virginity to him. It’s a game for the girls too.”
“Well this is the first that I’m hearing about it. Can you tell me more? Can you tell me how you became interested in losing your virginity to Lucas?”
“I wasn’t really interested in losing my virginity, not yet anyway.”
“I’m sorry it happened this way.”
“He didn’t force me.” She states quickly with panic back in her voice after she realizes what she’s said.
“It’s okay. Nothing you say will make me mad at you. Lucas has already incurred multiple penalties for his behavior today. Nothing you tell me will change what he has received but it will allow me to look into what’s going on with the other young girls so I can keep this from happening again.” She nods thoughtfully as she contemplates where to begin.
“From what I’ve heard from the girls in my class, he started before he shifted.”
“Okay.”
“I remember a girl talking loudly about hooking up with the alpha’s son. How she was his first and he was hers.”
“Do you remember when she said this happened?”
“Over winter break two years ago. She said she snuck into the pack house several times over the two weeks everyone was off. She claimed they had sex several times. Kept talking about how good it felt. How gentle and caring he was.”
“Do you remember how old she was?”
“She was older, in the eighth grade I think. Shortly after she bragged about sex with Lucas being so great and wonderful a lot of girls suddenly started talking about it. By the end of the school year most of the eighth grade girls were talking about having sex with him or were planning on having sex with him over the summer.”
“When did you first meet Lucas?”
“At the beginning of the school year he would walk over to the playground while we waited for the late bus to come. With the two schools so close together I guess it was easy for him to come visit. All the girls would crowd around him like he was a celebrity.
I got curious near the end of September. I walked over to the crowd but stayed quiet. Everyone made a big deal over him talking to me. It didn’t really matter much to me and I shrugged it off but he kept coming. He kept singling me out over the other girls. After about a month he got tired of all the girls surrounding us, he wanted something more private so he told me how to get to a lake near the school and we started hanging out there. I enjoyed his attention at the lake and I gave him my number.
I asked him if we were dating and he said that he didn’t date. That he felt dating was for mates and his only mate was his fated mate. He admitted that he was only interested in having sex. That it was a special thing to lose your virginity to the alpha’s son. That it would make me more attractive to the other males. I argued that I was too young to date let alone have sex but he waved me off like it wasn’t a big deal. He told me that my age was perfect. That at nearly eleven, I was too young to get pregnant which would allow him to skip the condom. That the condom was why the first time always hurts.
I told him that it wasn’t true. That I have been getting my period regularly for six months which meant that I could get pregnant. He ignored me again and told me to trust him. He had been taking virgins without a condom for over a year and he’s never had any of the girls come back pregnant. That no wolf could get pregnant before they became a teenager. When he mentioned that the first time always hurt I told him then that I wasn’t ready.
That was the first time he told me to stop being a baby. He tried to convince me that the pain isn’t that bad. All I need to do is trust him and relax. That he would do all the work and by the time he was done I would beg him for more. That every girl he’s had sex with has come back multiple times. He would have sex with them as many times as he could over two weeks before chasing them away.
I tried to walk away but he pulled me into his lap. He reassured me that it didn’t have to happen now, that he’d go slow and build me up to wanting it. He refused to understand why I was afraid. He kept telling me that it was silly to fear something so natural, swearing that there was nothing to fear about it. Then he started talking about the others. How they all begged him to take their virginity because he was so gentle and caring with them. All I had to do was submit. Just let him touch me and put himself inside me.
The thought of him inside me scared me even more and I tried to get out of his lap but he pulled me back and wrapped his arm around me. I struggled to get away from him for a little bit but he was too strong. Eventually I gave up and he started to tell me of all the things he wanted to do to me. I thought most of it was disgusting and I tried again to get away from him. Instead of letting me go he put his hand down my pants. I was uncomfortable with it and told him to stop but he didn’t. He spoke to me softly as he touched me, encouraging me to relax. When I finally did relax I did find it pleasing so he continued a little longer before pulling his hand out.”
“I’m sorry to change the subject, as you’re doing a lot better than I thought you would talking to me about my son.”
“I’m sorry.” She interrupts quietly.
I gently use my fingers to slide her hair from in front of her eyes.
“There’s nothing for you to apologize for.” I try to console her as I see tears drop silently.
“I’m concerned that you had no idea what sex was when Lucas started talking to you. Can you tell me what you knew about sex? Either from school or your parents?”
