He holds up his hands, looking irritated. “Clint, can I see you for a moment.” He says and they walk away.
“Oh my goddess. Do you think that I offended him?” Cali asks me.
“I would have to say yes. He’s an Alpha. He’s not used to being turned down.”
As we’re talking, the music in the bar turns off. Cali and I look around.
“What’s going on?”
It’s quiet for a moment, then we hear the sound of horrible singing.
“Love, I get so lost sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart”
“Oh my goddess, is that someone singing karoke? They’re terrible.”
We look around. Anders has a microphone and is walking toward us. Clint is walking beside him, and he has a….is that a boombox that he’s carrying over his head?
“When I want to run away, I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are, Cali.”
“Are they singing that song from ‘Say Anything’?” She asks me.
“Oh yeah. And Clint has the damn boombox. Where did he even get one?
“Oh my goddess, Anders is so…”
“Awful.” I finish for her.
“Really, terribly awful.” She says.
I know we’re both frowning, looking at him.
I turn to Clint as Anders continues his assault on our ears. He has a smug look on his face, acting the perfect wingman to his best friend and Alpha.
I shake my head at him and the brightest smile I’ve ever seen breaks across his. face.
“In your eyes, Cali
The light, the heat (in your eyes)
I am complete, Cali (in your eyes)
I see the doorway (in your eyes)
To a thousand churches, Cali (in your eyes)
The resolution (in your eyes)
Of all the fruitless searches (in your eyes)”
Clint is singing the background ‘in your eyes’. His voice is about a thousand times better than Anders who sounds like he’s tone deaf.
“Oh, I see the light and the heat (in your eyes)
Oh, I wanna take you on a date, Cali
I wanna take you anywhere you want to go, Cali
Please go on a date with me, Cali.”
Anders starts to go off song, specifically asking Cali to go out with him.
The entire place has started telling Cali to say yes. Now they are starting to beg her so Anders will stop singing. Really, it’s that bad.
“For the love of the goddess and all that’s holy Cali, please say yes and put all of us out of our misery.”
“Okay! I’ll go out with you!” She says.
“Oh thank the goddess! I wasn’t sure how much more my ears could take.” Clint says, lowering the boombox.
Anders turns off the microphone and looks at Cali. “Really, you’ll go out with me?”
“Only if you promise to NEVER sing again.” The entire place cheers at that. Clint takes the microphone and returns it and the boombox to goddess only knows where and the music starts up again.
Anders looks like the happiest man on the planet. “Are you ready to He asks us, but he’s looking at Cali. go dance?”
She looks at me before turning back. “Yeah, let’s go.”
I’m so thankful that Calista agreed to go on a date with Anders. His voice is the worst voice I’ve ever heard in my life. For a man who is so good at so many things, he’s terrible at singing.
My mate looks so fucking sexy tonight. It took all of my self-restraint not to throw her over my shoulder and take her upstairs to change. I’ve already had to snarl at several wolves who were looking at what is mine. I hate that she’s not old enough to wear my mark. At least she still smells like Donovan. It’s the only thing that’s keeping him from going off tonight.
When we get inside the dance club, the music is thumping. I lean down to speak in Lily’s ear. “Do you want a drink, or do you want to dance?”
“Dance!” She yells over the music.
I look at Anders and it looks like Calista wants to dance as well. We follow them out to the dance floor, and I post up against the wall, watching over my mate. Anders moves to a raised stage area so he can look out over the crowd.
