“You’re okay,” Daddy rubbed her back.
She looked back at the Alpha and he gave her a smile. “What did you do before you came here?”
Her heart broke as she thought about what she did before. She was a ballerina but now she wouldn’t be able to do any of that. She didn’t have anything with her and when they went to the store, she didn’t see anything.
“Ballerina,” she whispered around her thumb.
“Say it again but without your thumb in your mouth,” Daddy pulled it out.
Whining, she tried to put it back in her mouth, but Daddy stopped her.
“Daddy.”
“No whining. Talk to the Alpha properly. Address him with kindness and nothing in your mouth.”
Pushing her lip out, she looked down at her thumb that was in his hands. She wanted to suck on it again, not answer the alpha. She had no doubt he heard what she said. They did have super hearing after all.
“Why?” She asked. “You guys have better hearing.”
Wren giggled but quickly silenced herself.
“It’s not polite to talk with something in your mouth.”
Sighing, she looked back at the Alpha. “I was a ballerina.”
His eyes brightened. Why? Had he never seen a ballerina before?
“I have a proposition for you and your Daddy.”
She looked at him funny. Why did he mention Daddy? If it was with her being a ballerina, it should only concern her.
“He mentioned me because I am your Daddy. Ultimately, the decision lies on me to make.”
“What?” she whispered, not believing what she just heard. Did he really just say that?
“Yes, Revna. Daddy did just say that. In this town, the caregivers make the decisions for everything. You will have input on things, but ultimately it lies with the caregiver.
That was something she didn’t know if she would be able to get used to or not. Did everyone just blindly go with what the caregivers said?
“I’ve had some young pups want to start some ballerina lessons. But we don’t have anyone who is trained or knows whatthey are doing. We could look videos up and try our best, but it wouldn’t be the same.”
What was he getting at?
“Would you like to teach a lesson or two a week in the beginning? It could change as time goes on, if your Daddy allows it to. We have the supplies, or I think we do. We looked things up and gathered what we had from the list which was almost all of it,” the Alpha said. “You can talk with your Daddy about it and he can let me know whenever.”
She looked at Daddy. She didn’t even need to think about it. What was there to think about? It wasn’t the same as performing and practicing on her own. Maybe she could do that when she didn’t have to teach.
Daddy looked down at her and gave a smile. She was going to tell the Alpha yes right away but knew Daddy wouldn’t like it. He had the ultimate say, which she found dumb for this question.
“Please,” she begged.
Revna didn’t want to give up her dream of dancing.
“We can try sometime today to see if your leg still is bothering you.”
“You said it would be all healed.”
“Yes, but that doesn’t mean something else happened. I just want to make sure before we say yes.”
