The Show

*Nathan POV*

"Why?" I whined, holding the paper in my hand. "Out of everything you can possibly do in this city, you chose some musical?"

Trinity stared daggers at me and I stepped back.

I may be a strong wolf, an Alpha, but pregnant women scare the shit out of me.

"It's not some musical." She scoffed, showing quotation marks in the air. "It's the best musical ever. SIX!"

She said, excited.

"Besides, it's done by our little theatrical group from the city. And all the money goes to charity." Kaiden added, a little offended himself.

I rolled my eyes.

"Fine, if it's for charity I won't complain. Too much. What is it about?" I yawned, looking at the ticket.

“It's about the six wives of King Henry VIII.” Caleb said casually, and we all looked at him, wide-eyed. “What? I like musicals.”

“That's surprising.” I muttered under my breath.

“Come on, let's go in!” Trish squealed and grabbed Kaiden's hand, dragging him with her. “We have seats in the front row!”

Oh great, I thought about napping but now I can't.

We walked inside the theater hall and I was shocked to see how many people had come. Almost all places were taken, except for the four right in the middle of a front row. Just peachy.

“How were you even able to get these tickets? It looks like a lot of people want to see the premiere.” Caleb asked Trinity, a little excitement was seeping through his tough facade.

“Yeah, this show was in the works for months.” Trinity leaned in her seat, groaning. “I swear, I get bigger every day.”

“We were in a bar with live music one night. There sang, this very talented girl.” Kaiden said, helping his mate get comfortable. “When she finished and went to get a drink, two werebears went to her and started to harass her. Trinity, being her usual self, went straight to them and wanted to kick their ass.”

Caleb and I laughed.

“Yeah, that does sound like her.” I smirked and she rolled her eyes.

“What? How could I let some two brutes harass a young human girl?” She scoffed and Kaiden kissed her cheek.

“My warrior.” He said lovingly. “Anyway, I got up and, after a short quarrel, they backed off. She thanked us for help and asked if we wanted to see the premiere of a musical she was working on. I gave her my email and she sent us info on where to pick up the tickets when they had a date.”

“We still paid for charity, even though we got them for free.” Trish said proudly and I nodded.

We have a pack of werebears in the area. They are a pain in the ass, but as long as they are not aggressive towards my pack members, there is nothing I can do about them.

But harassing a human is still wrong. I'll make sure to send an email to Alpha Bear.

“Do you know which part she is going to play?” Trinity asked Kaiden and he nodded.

“Yeah, she said in the email that she plays the role of Katherine Howard.”

“That's my favorite!” Caleb gasped but quickly cleared his throat and said with a deep voice. “I mean, historically.”

“Riiight.” Kaiden said, frowning.

The lights started to dim and the audience became quiet, waiting for the performance to start.

As soon as six women entered the stage and stood up with their backs to the audience, my wolf started to pace in my mind.

I inhaled deeply and soon the scent of fresh cherries tingled my nose.

My mate is here.

One of those women on stage is my mate. I growled, lowly, in my chest and all three of my friends snapped their heads to me.

"You okay, man?" Caleb leaned to me and whispered.

I shook my head and mouthed the word 'mate'.

His eyes got bigger and he quickly told Kaiden and Trinity. She gasped and squealed, loudly, making people look at us.

""Which one?"" Kaiden asked through my mind link.

""No idea, I can smell her but there are too many other scents and I can't tell for sure. I have to see her eyes."" I responded, my hands grabbed the armrest hard enough for them to start cracking.

The music began and they started to sing. As soon as the first notes left the fifth queen's mouth, I was almost struck by lightning.

It's her. The one who plays the queen in a pink and black costume, is my destined mate.

She was singing with passion, her strong voice sounded absolutely perfect and the way her body moved…

Goddess, she is perfect.

I had my eyes glued to her, hoping that she would look me in the eye, for the final confirmation.

Then came her line, during the introduction. She leaned to the front, giving me and others a nice look at her cleavage, and she sang.

"Lock up your husbands. Lock up your sons. K Howard is here And the fun's begun"

She winked to the audience and her eyes fell on mine.

The world stopped. I could swear that she even felt the intense bond that was created at that very moment. She blinked a couple of times while keeping eye contact with me but she quickly shook that off and continued her role, flawlessly.

""It's her, the one that just sang."" I growled into the mind link to Kaiden. He looked at me with big eyes and a broad grin appeared on his face.

""That's Savy, the girl we helped in the bar."" He laughed into the mind-link but I didn't give a damn about him now.

My eyes were following her every move, every small gesture, every face she made. Every single sound she made went straight to my heart, melting the uncertainty that I previously had about having a mate.

How could I not want her?

Every time she came closer to the audience and she looked at me, I could feel her scent coming straight into my nostrils.

I took deep breaths, trying to calm my beast who wanted to go on that stage and carry her out of it and straight into my bed.

For the whole show, I didn't pay any attention to any other woman on that stage. Until my mate started her solo song.

She was finally in the front for long enough for me to take a good look at her. Starting from those long, toned legs to her wide hips, that gave me chills. And the primal need to mate her, to impregnate her with my pups started to boil inside me.

I growled, causing my friends to laugh and tried to mask it.

They knew very well what was in my mind.

I drank her appearance more, prolonging my torture.

Her waist was small and I could try to hug it with my hands. My eyes then wandered to her chest. Under the corset she wore, I could see the outline of her perfect, perky breast that could perfectly fit into my palms.

Her long neck, fair, pinky skin, symmetrical face with full lips and small nose made me painfully aware of the space between us.

And her eyes. Those were giving me chills anytime she looked at me.

Bluer than a clear sky, bright and expressive are going to be the death of me. I could spend eternity just looking into her eyes.

She has long blond hair with pink ends that she had tied into a high ponytail. I could imagine those gold and pink locks sprawled on my pillow.

But what intrigued me the most was her voice.

The way she sang, the way her voice changed during certain parts and the emotions that she was able to show through it caught my heart. I could feel the pain and turmoil that the character she played was feeling.

Her song ended and I started to think about how I could make her mine.

There was no denying that I wanted my mate.

Whatever was in my mind earlier about bonds, flew out of the window the moment I saw her.

I need my mate and I want her now.
