“Sing for me”
Juniper POV
The rest of the week was spent shopping, f*****g, and various other activities. When we finally got back home my ass was so sore I couldn’t sit down without whimpering, and I couldn’t spend more than an hour away from Knox without feeling down about it.
He drives with me to my house, and upon entering, sit with my family and have a talk with them. It’s a short conversation that includes Knox shifting to his wolf form. My parents, to my surprise, don’t flinch. Ian, however, loses his s**t.
After shifting, Knox and I explain that I’ll be living half with him, and half at home. I’m still hesitant about it, but apparently being an Alpha’s mate is quite dangerous.
Afterwards we’re driving to his house when I turn to him.
“Last time I was here I was tied to a bed, and not in a good way.”
He gives me a side eye. “Don’t give me a reason to do it again, love.” I whimper involuntarily, knowing that his punishments can be terrifying. And hot.
Mostly hot.
“I’m going to need to bring some of my clothes over.”
“No need, love. We’ll get you new things.”
I grumble under my breath. Every time we went to a store in London he insisted on paying, and our grand total was something like 10k.
As we park and make our way into his house I tell him what I’ve been avoiding. I love theatre with all of my heart, and our school is putting on a production of both Cinderella and Hercules, at the same time. I want to audition for both and see what happens.
“So, baby” I start. He looks at me warily. I only call him baby when I really want something. I’m scared that he wont want me in the musicals because I would spend time away from him during rehearsals. Before I chicken out I blurt it out.
“I’m auditioning for both of the musicals tomorrow.”
As soon as I say it I brace myself for him saying no, but he remains silent as we walk to his room. Once inside he closes and locks the door before turning to me.
“Okay.”
My jaw drops.
“Okay?”
“Of course, sweetheart. If that makes you happy, it makes me happy. I’ve never heard you sing, but something tells me you’ll be amazing and get both leads. I’ll haver to arrange someone from my close circle in the pack to always be near you during rehearsals and such, but I’m all for it.”
“YES! THANK YOU KNOX!” I squeal before tackling him onto the bed and kissing him.
He flips me over so he’s on top, and stares into my eyes. “Can you sing your audition piece for me?” I blush profusely.
“I don’t know. I’m honestly not that good so I doubt I will even get a role.”
He smiles and tucks my hair behind my ear. “You’re full of s**t. I can already tell how great you are.”
I think for a moment, biting my lip, before conceding.
“Okay. But can we go somewhere else? Sound won’t carry in this room and I won’t sound good.”
“Sure, baby. We can go into the dining hall.”
“Will we disturb anyone?”
“Nah, nobody’s home right now.”
With that he takes me by my hand and leads me to the dining room. I look around, and can tell that sound will travel well. I take a deep breath, and pull up the accompanying music on my phone.
“You have to promise not to laugh when you don’t like it.”
His response is a smirk.
“I’m singing two different songs. The first one is god help the outcasts from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and the second is nothing from A Chorus line.”
He nods to me. I pull in a breath of air and start.
As soon as the first song is finished, I move on the second. When that ends I look at him, just to see his mouth agape.
“That bad?” I ask, blushing.
“Baby, that’s Broadway material. I have no doubt you’ll get both leads.”
I smile shyly, and then see several people shuffle into the room. I gasp.
“You said nobody was home!” He shrugs.
“It’s just my family, love.”
My blush deepens.
“Juniper, I’d like to introduce you to my dad and the current Alpha, Larkin, and My mother who’s the current Luna, Marry.”
I bow my head. “I am so, so sorry if I disturbed either of you.”
“Nonsense!” The alpha declares.
“You have a beautiful voice, dear” Marry tells me.
Any part of my face that wasn’t red, now is.
I then see Knox’s future beta, Josh, walk in, along with a few of Knox’s brothers. They all introduce themselves and complement me. As soon as they’re done I swiftly walk out of the room, taking the stairs two at a time towards Knox’s room. Once inside I turn to him and slap him. He doesn’t seem phased.
“What the f**k, Knox?”
“That’ll earn you a sound punishment, baby.”
Oh, s**t. I probably should have thought hitting my boyfriend through.
He grabs me by the waist, tosses me onto the bed, and starts tying me down.
“Knox! Please no! I won’t do it again!”
“You’re right. You won’t.”
Instead of going for a whip once I’m tied down, however, he just straddles me. I look at him questioningly. The answer I get is when he starts mercilessly tickling me. He found out earlier today that I hate being tickled, so no doubt that will now be his go to punishment. f**k.
