Chapter 18
Chapter Eighteen
Three weeks later…
It was so loud in the house. In the past, Sienna would have covered her ears or run from the room to hide in a dark corner, but since she’d arrived on the mountain, she’d grown more accustomed to the noise.
She’d also learned to trust that every member of her new extended family loved her. She loved them, too.
She and Jayce hadn’t had the month-long honeymoon period that had been a common practice among Alpha Protectors and their new mates. It hadn’t been possible. There had been too much pack business to attend to, and Sienna was front and center every day, fielding questions.
One afternoon of explanation hadn’t been enough. She’d attended several pack meetings with various people in attendance. She’d also met with the bears on two occasions. Not just Surge and Thorn but several others, too.
Today was a day of relaxation, however. Everyone was gathered in the home she shared with Jayce to laugh and play, eat and drink. It was a party.
Surge and Thorn had been invited, and Sienna knew they would arrive any moment. All nine of the women knew. They’d glanced at each other as the realization dawned on all of them at once.
None of the women had said a word to the men about their odd new ability to foresee the near future.
They’d whispered about it in small groups any time they were left alone to play together, and they’d unanimously decided it would do no harm to keep the secret and would cause their mates undue stress to share it.
It was a benign white lie. After all, it was a power that only extended out a few minutes at a time.
A little foreshadowing of what was to come.
Sometimes Sienna would know that her Daddy was about to check her diaper, for example, and that was often when she filled it to avoid sitting in a wet squishy diaper for very long.
When she knew that he was planning something kinky, her pussy would get prematurely wet from the vision. Who was that hurting? It meant he wasn’t often able to carry out surprises, but it made her hornier.
A sneakier thing she sometimes did was cause him to change his mind with the power of suggestion. “Can we have green beans tonight, Daddy?” she might ask when she could visualize him making broccoli.
Harmless.
Right?
The women were all sitting around in a circle in the middle of the living room playing a guessing game where they took turns holding a card up against their forehead and had to figure out what word was on it from the descriptions given by their team members.
They kept laughing so hard that they had to stop several times.
Even Olivia could play this game. She obviously wouldn’t see her own card, and each time it was someone else’s turn, one of her teammates whispered the word in her ear first so she could join in.
Sienna loved this extended family. She’d never laughed so hard in her life. Her face hurt from smiling so much.
Suddenly Jayce clapped his huge hands together to get everyone’s attention. They all turned his direction.
He had a very serious expression on his face, but Sienna knew him well enough to realize whatever he was going to say wasn’t going to be as serious as he was pretending.
She kind of wished she’d had a vision of this particular speech he was about to give, but she didn’t always know everything.
Her premonitions occurred sporadically throughout the day.
He looked around at all of them, taking his time.
Sienna noticed the other Alpha Protectors were smirking, some of them covering their mouths to hide their mirth.
Jayce gave a growl that didn’t scare anyone. “We know you naughty Little girls have been up to something.”
Sienna forced herself not to stiffen. She glanced around at the others, forcing her eyes wide to match theirs, pasting on a look of confusion.
Jayce narrowed his eyes and leaned over them, scanning the circle. “You Littles have secrets. It’s like you’ve formed a club. If there were meeting notes, I bet they would be revealing.”
Good thing there were definitely no meeting notes.
“Who’s going to tell us what shenanigans you all are cooking up? Or do we need to take all of you over our laps and spank some bottoms until someone fesses up?”
Sienna hoped her expression wasn’t giving anything away. She didn’t expect they’d be able to keep their secret for much longer, but it was so fun knowing things that she wasn’t looking forward to relinquishing the powerful feeling it gave her.
Luckily Jayce’s interrogation came to a halt with a knock on the door. It would be Surge and Thorn. They had excellent timing.
Jayce growled as he turned to answer the door. He swung it open and let the two men step inside.
Thorn glanced around. “Why is it so quiet in here?”
Jayce answered him. “Because this naughty group of mates is keeping a secret from their Alphas. I’m trying to fish it out of them under threat of a group spanking.”
Surge chuckled. “A secret, huh? Have any of them bothered to mention to you that they’ve all been able to see snippets of the future since the day Sienna faced the lion?”
The women all gasped and then glared at him. Sienna should have known that the bears would have more insight into things than the wolves. They always did. They had more advanced powers. But darn them.
All of the Alphas, including Jayce slowly turned back to where the women sat in their circle.
Jayce cleared his throat. “It seems none of these naughty Little girls has thought to mention that detail.”
Sienna winced inside but offered her Daddy a coy smile. She even tipped her head to one side.
Every man in the room came to his mate, set his hand on top of her head, and tipped it back to give a collective pointed stare of warning to his Little girl.
Yeah, there would be a lot of spankings on the mountain later tonight. Followed by a chorus of howling ricocheting off the trees.
“So, what are we eating this afternoon?” Surge asked, strolling across the room as if he hadn’t just blown all the fun. “I’m starving.”
Jayce snagged Sienna off her butt and lifted her into the air. He tossed her over his shoulder, letting her dress ride up so that everyone could see her diapered bottom. And then he tickled her until she was in tears.
“Daddy!” she squealed.
Yeah, she was in trouble. But she didn’t care.
She’d never dreamed she could be this happy.
For twenty years, she’d fretted about her mating ceremony and worried she would find herself paired with a demanding man who would expect her to cook and clean for him all day before insisting she spread her legs for him at night.
Life was not like that at all. It didn’t even resemble what she’d expected. Instead of servicing her mate for the rest of her life, she’d fallen into an alternate universe where her mate intended to service her in every way.
The Alpha Protectors could be a fierce group. They took their task of patrolling the mountains for predators very seriously. But when they weren’t on duty, they were giant teddy bears who doted on their mates in every imaginable way.
The women would certainly all get spanked tonight, but as far as Sienna was concerned, there was nothing she’d rather do than bend over her mate’s lap and endure his palm against her bottom, because the reward for her submission was so divine it was worth every ounce of naughty behavior she would conjure up for the rest of their lives.
Jayce lowered her to his front and held her pinned against his chest, her dress up around her waist. He brushed stray locks of hair from her face. He was grinning as he tried to look fierce. “Have you been manipulating me, naughty girl?”
“Maybe?”
“Is that why your pussy is always soaked? Because you already know what I’m planning to do each time I remove your diaper?”
“Sometimes,” she admitted, her face flushing.
He shook his head, still grinning. “You realize I’m going to start planning alternate courses of action from now on to keep you guessing, don’t you?”
She sighed. “Yes, Daddy.” Darn.
He brought his lips to hers. “Do you also realize how much I love you?”
“Yes, Daddy. I love you, too.” All the way to the bottom of my soul.
I hope you’ve enjoyed the Alpha Daddies series. Are you ready to meet the Pride Daddies? As you can probably guess, the first book in the series is Navin. I hope you’re ready for the lions to take over!
