Chapter 165
I’m staring into Lucas’s eyes hard as my aura starts flaring. He’s set his mind hard on this and is challenging me on my stance.
“Take your shoes off and stand behind the desk.”
I’m growling loudly and he’s lucky his mother and I came up with this punishment together as I’m angry enough to change it. I feel Lilly’s hand in mine as he finally breaks his stare and walks back over to the door, kicking his shoes off where Damian left his.
I turn roughly to face her, she can feel how pissed he’s made me with his attitude towards Cole. I lay my head upon her shoulder as she runs her hands up my back underneath my shirt. The skin to skin contact allows the pleasing tingling of the bond to flow through my body, helping me to calm my anger and keep my head. I lift my head enough to lean my cheek against Lilly’s head.
“You know why I feel the need to do this, don’t you?”
She takes a step back and looks into my eyes.
“It’s not going to be easy for me to be here but this is what we agreed on.”
I give her a chaste kiss before turning to Lucas and Anthony.
“Everything okay, sir?”
Anthony asks dryly as I walk to the cabinet where I keep my belt.
“Yes.”
I reply as I hand it to him and walk back to the desk. I walk over to my chair, which Lucas is standing behind, and push it to the wall before doing the same with the chair in front. I walk to the front of the desk facing Lucas for a moment collecting my thoughts.
“Lucas, just like you did the first time, you're going to step forward and lay your chest and abdomen across the desk. Give yourself enough space that you’re not crushing your manhood. Your feet stay on the floor, your hands come to me.”
“You’re not seriously doing this over a wheelchair.”
“You’re still stuck on that wheelchair. This isn’t about the wheelchair. This is about having a lack of compassion. About your willingness to write someone you don’t know off as unworthy of their very life. Come. Give me your hands.”
He steps back, finally hesitating, finally believing that this is happening for a second time in two weeks. Anthony reaches over and grabs his neck hard causing him to yelp as he shoves him forward into the desk. Lucas stumbles, falling onto his hands managing to keep himself from hitting the desk.
“Tony! That’s uncalled for!”
I chastise as I take hold of Lucas’s hands.
“We don’t have all day.”
“I explained my expectations and you are not to deviate!”
I growl out. The only reason I got Anthony involved is because I couldn’t lessen my strength to the desired hit that I was after.
“Since you’re so keen to forget, this is my son and you will do this as we discussed. Anything more will lead to your own punishment.”
Anthony grunts his disapproval but I am still protective of my son even when it comes to physical punishment. I turn my attention back to him, he’s been tugging on his hands trying to break free of me.
“I have made some changes to what I normally do. Now, lay across the desk.”
“Mom?”
I shake my head at him trying to gain forgiveness from her.
“We discussed this punishment at length before we decided. She will not intervene.”
He whines slightly as he gives in. I pull out my phone and find the stopwatch app.
“Tony, you will start when I say go and stop when I say.”
I can feel Lilly’s emotions through the bond but I know she won’t stop it.
“Go”
I’ve got his hands as he yelps from the first hit. I immediately notice that Anthony is going much faster and harder than I had him practice on me. I watch my watch closely.
“Stop!”
I make it a strong command putting my alpha behind it to ensure that it happens. Fortunately Anthony’s self interest for avoiding his own punishment is strong enough for him to drop the belt mid swing.
“You said I had a full minute to make an impression.”
“And you went harder and faster than I had approved. You’re done. Step outside and grab Damian and the girls from the office next door.”
Anthony grunts, once again disapproving of my commands but follows them anyway. Lucas is squeezing my hands hard as he pants, trying desperately to hold back his tears.
“It’s okay to let them fall. Lay your head on my arm, my scent will help.”
He drops his head as the rest of them come into the room.
“Sit on the couch with your mom.”
I wait until they all settle in before I start talking.
“What your mother and I agreed upon is not a physical punishment I usually use. I find that the timer method of punishment is simply too easily abused compared to an agreed upon strength and number. The reason I used it this time is because of an interaction Cole had with the alpha of Red Moon, the last pack he was at before ours. Lilly, come take my place as I check Luke over.”
She comes over easily, rubbing the back of his head as I encourage the switch.
“I know you already are but I need complete submission to check you over. Anthony didn’t do as I had instructed.”
I see him nod his head as he grabs Lilly’s hand and lays his head on her arm. I make my way to the back of the desk and pick the belt up from the floor. I put it away in the cabinet before grabbing the numbing spray I keep in the office in case a parent gets carried away.
I place it on the desk as I lean over to talk to him. It surprises me when he stiffens up badly at my touch considering he didn’t react this way his first time with the belt. I grab his hands, gently wrapping him in a backwards hug.
“I need you to relax. I know it hurts. I’m actually going to tone that down a little as he used his full strength and that wasn’t his instructions. I’m going to sit in my chair and gently pull you away from the desk. I need to drop your pants so I can check your back and legs. What Anthony did is your punishment, Luke. I’m not adding to it.”
He relaxes slightly with my explanation and moves easily with me as I pull him away from the desk and undress him. I’m not happy with what I see but he did stop when I called it early.
I fold his shirt half way up his back. There’s a lot of stray marks on his back and legs causing me to growl loudly.
“Stay still Luke. This tends to be cold. I’m going to hit your back and legs with this several times to numb those areas down.”
I sigh loudly as I continue my grumbling.
“It was your bottom I wanted him to hit. Now I think my first idea of using Patrick again would have worked out better.”
“Tony did that bad?”
Damian seems astonished at the idea.
“Yes and I won’t do that again.”
He fidgets slightly when I first start spraying but overall settles nicely and is finally relaxed when I pull his boxers back up. I lean over him again sliding my arms underneath his chest.
“Let go of your mom and move with me Luke.”
He hesitates a moment but finally let’s go when he feels me lifting him off the desk. I hold him a moment against my chest allowing him to gain his footing before letting him go.
“Take your time but put your pants back on proper we’re going to general when I get done explaining why you were punished this way and what I found out about Cole.”
I retrieve my chair from across the room and line it up in front of the desk next to where Lilly is sitting. I listen as he buttons up and starts moving from behind the desk.
“Why did you spank Luke?”
Madilyn asks as he picks her up before gingerly sitting on the couch.
“On the surface I will agree that it was because he refused to get Cole the wheelchair but there is something that all of you need to understand before you conclude that it was simple defiance.”
I pause a moment trying to give Lucas some time to find a comfortable way to sit.
“All of you know that I’m a doctor. As a doctor I have worked in all kinds of places with all kinds of people and wolves. Part of my training happened in the prison infirmary during a bad breakout of viral pneumonia.
It was a maximum security prison holding the worst of werewolf kind. They were convicted killers, rapists, and pedophiles. And for the girls’ sake convicted means they were proven to have done these bad things to other wolves or humans. But, when I walked into that infirmary I didn’t look for their crimes. Never once did I look into their eyes as they fought just to breathe one more breath and say ‘you are not deserving of my help.’”
