CHAPTER THIRTEEN

REVNA

N erves ran through her as Daddy walked up to the front door. He had reassured her several times that everything was going to be okay and nothing bad was going to happen. How did he know that, she wasn’t sure.

As they had walked over here, people smiled and waved at them but they never pointed and whispered. Had Daddy said something to them before they left? She didn’t remember him calling anyone or spacing out whenever he mind linked people. Maybe he had done it whenever they were walking out of the house.

“I don’t know about this,” she whispered.

“You’re okay. Everything is going to be okay.”

“What if–”

“Little one. Nothing bad is going to happen. Daddy is going to be right next to you the whole time. I’m not leaving you.”

She gripped onto his shirt as they stood right in front of the door. She wasn’t ready.

“Daddy.”

He knocked on the door and looked at her. “Yes, Little one.”

She bit her lip as she looked at the door, waiting for the person to open it. Did he look scary? Was he mean? Did he like everyone or only a select few people?

She pushed her head into Daddy’s neck as the door started to open. She didn’t want to look in case the Alpha started off with glaring at her.

“Dante! And you must be Little Revna,” a deep voice spooked her.

Revna held onto Daddy, not daring to look up at what the Alpha looked like or if he was glaring at her.

“Sorry, Revna is a little shy and nervous for this meeting,” Daddy explained.

“Most Littles are. They think I’m this big bad person.”

But he didn’t say he wasn't a big bad person. Was he wanting her to know if she stepped out of line, he wouldn’t hesitate to do something?

“Can you say hi, Little one?” Daddy gently asked.

She shook her head and kept it in his neck. There was no way she would be looking at him.

“That’s okay. I know she had a pretty traumatic entry into the town. She’ll warm up after a couple of minutes.”

She wasn’t so sure about that.

“Come in. Sit and I’ll get you two a drink,” Tobi said. “Wren, come say hi.”

Who was Wren?

“Wren is also shy when meeting new people. Well, she is more nervous but once she warms up, she’ll talk and engage.”

Daddy walked into the house and sat down. She could feel a pair of eyes on her. Was that Wren looking at her?

“You can look,” Daddy whispered. “She isn’t going to bite.”

Maybe from this far away, but what if Revna got closer and Wren did bite her?

“You’re safe. You can sit on my lap the whole time if you want. I’m not going to kick you off of my lap. But you are also allowed to look around and not stay in my neck.”

She sighed, kept her grip on his shirt and lifted her head out of his neck. The first thing she saw was a girl sitting on the couch in front of them. The girl was sitting, looking down at her hands.

“Can you say hi?” Daddy asked.

Wren looked up right as Revna waved her hand. She waved right back before looking down at her hands. Was she just as nervous as Revna?

“Was that so hard?” Daddy asked.

She nodded her head and wrapped her arms around his neck again. The Alpha came back into the room, sitting right next to Wren.

“Have they warmed up to each other?” he asked.

“Not yet, but I bet they will in no time,” Daddy replied.

Revna relaxed into his embrace, listening to them having conversation. Her thumb went to her mouth and she started to suck on it, bringing herself some comfort.

Did the other Littles have to do this as well or was it just her? Were they just as nervous or did they not care?

“And how about you, Little one?” the Alpha asked, looking directly at her.

Revna’s heart rate sped up as she didn’t hear the question. Was he going to get angry at her for not paying attention? Was he going to tell Daddy to spank her?

“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 what they 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.”

Her whole body perked up. “Can we go now?”

Daddy looked at the Alpha. “We’ll let you know after she practices some if her leg can take it.”

“Of course. Take your time,” the Alpha replied.

She bounced up and down on Daddy’s lap. “Can we go now? I really want to go now.”

Daddy chuckled. “We’re going to go now. Revna won’t stop thinking about it until she tries.”

“We’ll talk again soon. Maybe our girls can have a playdate soon.”

Revna looked over at Wren who was sitting right next to her Daddy, still not looking up. Was she alright?

“I bet they would love that.”
