Olivia scanned the room, taking everything in. She paused and stopped breathing when she spotted a woman standing in the corner of the kitchen with her nose to the wall.
Brock chuckled. “That’s Suzette. She has five more minutes in her timeout before she’s allowed to greet you. She had a bit of a tantrum about her dress this morning.”
Olivia’s heart was beating fast, but she calmed considerably as she noted that Suzette’s yellow dress was probably about the same length as Olivia’s. More importantly, the woman had her hands clasped at the small of her back, and she was holding the hem of her dress up above her panties. Apparently that had been part of her punishment. She also had long black hair in two braids.
Olivia glanced at her Daddy, and he smiled and winked at her. He’d told her every Little girl mated to an Alpha was treated to the same dominance as Olivia, but seeing was believing.
Olivia scented two more shifters approaching the house and turned around at the same time as the men. Another man and Little girl entered the house. She knew they were Daddy’s brother, Arion, and his mate, Jezebel.
Jezebel had blond hair that hung very long from her pigtails. She had on a pale blue dress that was also similar to Olivia’s. She smiled warmly as she approached. “Hi.” She gave a little wave. “I’m so excited to meet you. Hi, Suzette,” she said louder, glancing toward the woman in the corner.
Suzette didn’t move an inch. Was her bottom pink around the edges of her panties?
Olivia had been aware of both women from school. They’d been a year apart, though, so she didn’t know them. By the end of today, she would certainly know them.
Arion slapped Daddy on the back. “You’ve finally come out of your cave,” he teased.
“Ha ha.” Daddy rolled his eyes. “It’s been a year since you and Jezebel mated, and you’re still scarce around the mountain.”
Arion shrugged. “Well, at least now you understand why.”
Another man entered. Daddy had described him, too, so Olivia knew this was Elias, Brock’s brother. He wasn’t mated yet. He shook everyone’s hand, greeted Jezebel, smiled at Olivia, and then shouted hello to Suzette.
Olivia was surprised at the woman’s ability to remain facing the corner while all this went on behind her. She would bet that Suzette was itching to turn around. Brock must have threatened her with more punishments if she didn’t wait until her timeout was over.
Finally, Brock shuffled over to his mate. He quietly leaned in to speak in her ear a moment before she nodded and released her dress so it fell down to cover her panties.
Suzette was chagrinned as she turned around and joined everyone else. She wiped a few tears from her eyes and smiled at Olivia. “Hi. I’m so glad you’re here. Daddy says I can show you my nursery so you’ll have a visual of your surroundings before you shift.”
Olivia was grateful for everyone’s kindness and understanding as she followed Suzette and Jezebel to Suzette’s nursery.
Her nerves calmed further when she saw that indeed it was very much like her own nursery except it included crayons, coloring books, paints, puzzles, and games Olivia couldn’t play.
Daddy joined the three of them in the nursery and set a hand on Olivia’s back. “Time to shift, Baby girl. I need a hug before I go.”
Olivia took one more look around before she closed her eyes and let the shift take her back into her human form.
Daddy squatted in front of her, cupped her face, and kissed her. “I want you to have fun, okay? Be good. Elias is going to stay here with you three. Obey him no matter what, understood?”
Olivia nodded. “Yes, Daddy.”
He took her hand and hooked her small backpack on it. He’d carried it here for her. It had her cane, her glasses, a change of clothes, and a diaper in it. She wouldn’t need any of those things most likely, but she liked having them, just in case.
“Put it on me, Daddy?” she asked.
He helped her put the backpack on and kissed her again. “I love you, Little rebel.”
“I love you, too, Daddy.”
“I’ll be back in a few hours.” He was stalling. He hated to leave her perhaps more than she hated being left. It was time, though. Today he was meeting with the elders, but tomorrow he would start taking shifts patrolling with the other Alphas. It was his job. He couldn’t stay home with her forever, as much as she wished he could.
“I’ll be fine,” she told him bravely.
She faced the door to the nursery as he walked away and didn’t turn around until the three Daddies had left the house.
Suzette set a hand on her shoulder. “It’s hard the first time they leave. I hated it. Jezebel and I will play with you, though. We’ll have fun.”
