The Alpha's Slave Mate novel Chapter 85

Daphne’s Point of View

With everything that has happened within the last year I feel like nothing should be able to surprise me anymore. Carolyn telling me that my mother sent a warning was a huge surprise though. I quickly tried to cover my shock because I did not want Carolyn to think that I was viewing her any differently. The young girl already admitted that she had issues with people questioning her gift. I have no doubt in my mind that Carolyn is speaking the truth. For one she never met my mother, and I highly doubt that she would know her name. The second reason is the last set of words my mother said to her about Scarlett being in danger. If I were the one in danger my mother never would have shown herself; however, Scarlett was the diamond in my mother’s eyes. There is nothing that my mother would not do to save her favorite child.

“Thank you so much for delivering that message to me Carolyn. I want you to know that I think you are incredibly brave. I am sorry that the spirit was not particularly nice to you.” I tell the young child. Leave it up to my mother to be condescending while asking someone for help. Even beyond the grave that woman knows how to grate my nerves.

“Thank you, Luna I hope I do not see her again.” Carolyn is still a little upset about the encounter.

“I hope you do not see that woman either. She sounds like a beast.” I could not help but throw a little jab in there, hoping that she can somehow hear my words.

“Now Carolyn I have a very grown-up question to ask you. Can you keep a secret?” The young girl nodded her head vigorously at my question, insinuating that she could keep things to herself. “This is a very big secret, even in our pack.” I explain to her. “There are other wolves like you here in our pack. Wolves that have special gifts bestowed upon us, and we can do great things. Theo and I help these wolves grow their talents and train them. Would you like to join our special training program Carolyn?”

The young girl considers the offer for a moment. “If there are other wolves like me than how come I have never seen them?”

“Well like I said we keep it a secret. Alpha and I do not want anyone to try to hurt our special wolves, or to exploit their peculiar talents. So, we train in private, and we keep it a secret, sort of like a super-secret club.” I try to explain to her why she has not seen anyone else’s talents.

“Carolyn I am a special wolf too.” I was grateful that Anita chose to speak up. I would never out another peculiar wolf without their permission.

“Really?” Carolyn asked her with big round eyes.

“Yes, really silly girl. I can help people and now certain animals have babies. I am also good with interacting with kids, and soothing grumpy infants.” It had taken Theo and I some time to confirm that Anita had a special ability. Finally, curiosity had gotten the best of me, and I struck up a conversation with her. She had disclosed that around certain people she felt a calm flow of energy that would lead her to placing her hands on the woman and boom a little while later she would learn that woman was pregnant. We had tried various methods of expanding her abilities and have been decently successful with it.

“Wow I did not know that. So, you train with Luna too?” Carolyn asked her. Anita confirmed that she did indeed train with me.
