Chapter 9

Molly walked between Belle and Khann, feeling the burn of dozens of male eyes upon her. Unmated males, to be precise. Some peered out windows, while others prowled closer to her on the street. She bristled when one of them inhaled loudly, no doubt savoring the scent of her. A low growl from Khann caused this particular male to retreat into a doorway.

She breathed an inward sigh of relief when Vaxxlian Matchmakers came into sight, a small white stone building with a bright yellow, arched roof. It was surrounded by tall purple flowers with stems as thick as small trees, as well as huge green bushes covered with blue berries. Birds flitted through the bushes, plucking away berries before flying off to their nests, to their families.

I’ll have my own family soon. A real family. A mate, and eventually, children of my very own.

Molly cringed when Gavvin’s face flashed in her mind. She would be glad when the burn of his insults faded. She hated that he was in her thoughts as she approached Vaxxlian Matchmakers. She barely knew him, and he’d made it perfectly clear that he didn’t wish to see her again, yet she couldn’t stop thinking about him. What was wrong with her?

Alone. He lived alone, and he didn’t have any friends, aside from a commander who visited on occasion. He was an outcast.

A long time ago, she’d been an outcast, too.

She would never forget the crushing loneliness of her childhood and teenage years.

Was this why Gavvin remained in her thoughts? Because she understood his pain?

It still bothered her that he’d treated her with kindness and had even seemed interested in her—only to push her away with cruel words at the conclusion of their night together. I do not wish to see you again, Molly. As he’d uttered these words, his tone had been cutting but resolute, his visage hard, his eyes dark. He’d meant it. He truly didn’t wish to see her again. No matter how kindly he’d treated her initially, at some point during the night, he must have changed his mind about her.

Not for the first time, she wondered if she’d seemed clingy and desperate when she’d started gushing about how much she’d enjoyed their evening together and that she hoped to visit him in the future.

They reached the yellow roofed building, and Khann pulled the door open and gestured for her to enter. Belle followed close behind, and Molly’s heart raced as she peered around the reception area of Vaxxlian Matchmakers. The room contained several chairs and sofas, bowls of fresh fruit, pitchers of water, and soothing music drifted from speakers in the ceiling. It reminded her of the waiting area of a fancy spa, like the one in the hotel where she used to work.

The waiting room was empty, and Molly exchanged a look with Belle, wondering if they should call out a ‘hello’ or just sit down and wait patiently.

“Are you certain you want to do this?” Khann turned and gave her a patient look that made her want to hug him.
