Chapter Fifteen
Molly finally lifted her face and turned to see five women who were indeed dressed almost the same as her standing in front of five enormous Alpha Protectors, each of whom had his hands on his own Little.
Daddy kissed her cheek. “I’m going to let everyone introduce themselves one at a time so you’ll know their voices.”
She nodded.
Daddy pointed to the couple on the right.
“Hi, Molly. I’m Arion, Damon’s brother.”
The woman in front of him said, “And I’m Jezebel.”
“I’m Brock.”
“I’m Suzette.”
“You know me. Damon.”
The woman in front of him wasn’t looking directly at Molly, and Molly wasn’t surprised when she introduced herself as Olivia. Her human was blind.
“I’m Elias, Brock’s brother.”
“I’m Leah.”
“Hey, Little one,” Felix said, his hand firmly placed on Khloe’s shoulders.
“And I’m Khloe.”
“Nice to meet you all,” she whispered, trying to shake the fact that they were all looking at her.
“Now,” Daddy said, “I want you to be able to spend some time with everyone so you’ll remember their voices, but first, can you tell us what you heard when you stopped running right before we arrived?”
What Daddy didn’t know was that Molly already had all their voices memorized. She wouldn’t mind spending time with them, but she knew who each of them was already. Their primary mission had been accomplished. It wasn’t his fault for thinking she would need more time. She hadn’t realized it wouldn’t be necessary until this moment either.
Focusing on his question, Molly swallowed down her fear and looked toward Daddy. “Two men were talking about the wolves. What does that mean? Are there some humans living in the area who aren’t shifters?”
Daddy tensed. “No. Those were probably bears.”
Molly gasped. “Bears? Bear shifters?”
“Yeah, I should have told you about them. That’s my fault. It never occurred to me you would hear anyone that far away.”
Felix cleared his throat. “I guess we don’t know for sure how far away they are just because she heard them.” He wrapped a protective arm around his Little’s chest.
Khloe closed her eyes and tipped her head to one side in the same way Molly did when she was trying to listen. “They’re not in the vicinity, and I don’t sense anyone has plans to head this way.”
“What did you hear?” Arion asked.
Molly recounted their exact words, impressed with her ability to recall everything with such precision. This oddgiftof hers was startling her as well as everyone else.
“Fascinating,” Olivia said. “There has to be a reason why so many of us are finding we have unusual talents that didn’tmake themselves known until after we were claimed. Between my ability to communicate telepathically, Khloe’s ability to know when the bears might move this direction, and now Molly’s ability to hear them talking from a distance…”
“Together we’re a force,” Khloe added.
Molly squirmed in her Daddy’s arms, wanting him to put her down so she could stand at the same level as the other women.
He obliged, squatting to set her on her feet.
