Alisha's POV
The next day, I left the Golden Crest, determined to start my music career. As I arrived at the Onew music studio, my determination to get this job grew stronger. I made sure to arrive 15 minutes earlier than the scheduled interview time, eager to demonstrate my respect.
Upon entering the studio, I was greeted by the secretary, who informed me that Director Jerome Benefield was currently in a meeting and asked me to wait. Two hours passed by, and my legs began to grow numb from the prolonged sitting. Finally, the secretary signaled that I could go in for the interview, and I eagerly made my way into Director Benefield's office.
As I entered, I was met with a critical gaze from the man himself. His piercing eyes examined me from head to toe, and his sharp voice cut through the air, questioning my punctuality. "Theresa? You're late. I don't like people who have no sense of time."
Taken aback by his accusation, I furrowed my brows and replied, d
Alisha's POV As I gazed at the striking man beside me, my heart skipped a beat. He seemed to exude an air of authority and confidence, unlike anything I had ever seen before. His tall figure stood proudly, and his piercing eyes held a hint of mystery. Was he a model, gracing the covers of fashion magazines? A renowned movie star? Or perhaps someone even more important in the music industry? His question brought me back, and I blinked, trying to recall if our paths had ever crossed. "Why do you say that? I think we haven't met before." The man's lips curved into a charming smile, adding to his already magnetic aura. "Forgive me, please. I happen to hear that you seem to dislike this company and its boss," he said, his voice smooth like velvet. My curiosity piqued, I couldn't help but ask, "Yeah, but why do you ask? Do you work for the company?" His eyes sparkled with amusement as he replied, "Well, no. I just wondered what made you so angry." As if he had unlocked a hidden v
Alisha's POVSeeing the seriousness etched across Louie's face, I couldn't help but feel a nervous knot form in my stomach. "What's the matter?" I asked, trying to steady my voice despite the growing anxiety.Louie stared at me intently, his gaze unwavering. "Therasa, I caught a... a very dangerous smell from you. Please tell me what happened to you and who you've recently met."My brow furrowed in confusion, and I hesitated for a moment before recounting the events of the disastrous interview. "I... I went for the interview, but the music director is a wreck. He humiliated me because of my past conflict with Erma, and he tried to force me to apologize, but I refused. Then I met a kind stranger who offered to give me a lift after hearing about my terrible experience," I explained, my voice trembling slightly. "But... what do you mean by 'the smell'?"Louie listened carefully to my words, concern deepening in his eyes. "A werewolf," he replied solemnly.My he
Alisha's POVAs I felt the touch of Louie's hand on mine, a sense of comfort washed over me. His reassuring presence and his promise to protect me brought relief to my anxious mind. "Thank you, Louie," I responded with gratitude. "Thanks to you for noticing the strange smell on me and reminding me. It means a lot."Louie's smile remained gentle as he spoke, "Theresa, based on what you've shared, both the music director and the strange man you encountered seem highly suspicious. I believe it would be best for you to give up pursuing this job. And if you ever come across that strange man again, remember to run away immediately."I nodded, understanding the importance of his advice. "It's highly unlikely for Director Benefield to offer me this job, so you needn't worry about him. As for the strange man, I think he is a kind man, but I doubt we'll cross paths again. It's funny how things have turned out. Initially, I was frustrated by the interview's failure, but now, wit
Alisha's POVAfter enjoying a delightful lunch with Louie, I returned to the Golden Crest in the afternoon. The job interview had been a letdown, and I couldn't help but feel disappointed. But spending time with Louie had brought me an incredible sense of happiness and fulfillment.As a werewolf, I felt like I had failed in certain aspects, but as a singer, I found success in connecting with others through my original songs. This gave me great courage to leave the Golden Crest-I am able to work as a human singer to support my life with grandma.This newfound fulfillment and acceptance from others made me seriously consider a different path in life.As I settled down on the sofa, lost in thought, my phone rang, jolting me out of my reverie. I answered the call with curiosity, "Hello?""Theresa, it's Benefield!" The voice on the other end sounded with a pleasing tone, "I am deeply sorry for what happened today. You are an outstanding singer, and I am thr
Alisha's POVSeeing Erma's insincere face, a wave of profound disgust washed over me. Why did this woman have to come to my house, invading my sacred space? I had no desire to let her appear before me, tarnishing the little peace I had left.I shot a quick glance at Erma and turned to Mireya, my anger evident in the intensity of my voice, "Who let her in? Ask her to leave immediately, and don't allow her to come near me again!"Archie frowned at my words, his tone now tinged with both concern and unhappiness, "Alisha! What's gotten into you? Erma just wants to talk to me about something important. Why did you send her away like that?"I looked at Archie's once incredibly alluring face, feeling the weight of my emotions on the verge of spilling over. I wanted to ask him if he had ever truly cared about me, even just a little, with a mistress right in front of his wife, walking into my home so easily. But I couldn't bring myself to expose my vulnerability in front
Alisha's POVFinally, I made a decision. I would treat this journey as a part-time job – finish it, get paid, and leave here. Surprisingly, adopting this mindset brought some calmness to my emotions. I was determined to focus on my music and my own growth, no longer allowing myself to be consumed by the turmoil of my past.The next day, as Mireya and I descended the stairs with my suitcase in tow, I was taken aback by the sight of Suzy standing in the living room. Suzy, our Pack's Gamma, was an imposing figure, exuding strength and authority. Her bronze-toned muscular physique was a testament to her exceptional skill as a warrior and her crucial role in the training of werewolves in the Golden Crest."Luna, the Alpha ordered me to accompany you on this mission," Suzy declared at the sight of me, her voice flat and cold.Grateful for the protection Suzy would provide, I hesitated for a moment before asking, "What about Brad?" I had been under the impression
Alisha' POVThe distressing images kept assaulting my senses, and I couldn't distinguish reality from the nightmarish hallucination. The pain in my head intensified, and I couldn't control the surge of emotions and fear overwhelmed me. My body trembled, my heart pounded in my chest, and I let out a strangled cry, unable to comprehend what was happening.Brad and Suzy exchanged concerned glances as they tried to assess my condition."Hey, Luna, are you alright?" Brad's voice broke through the chaos, filled with concern. After he pulled over the car, Suzy reached out to touch my shoulder, trying to anchor me back to reality."No! Stay away!" I screamed, pulling away from her touch. The panic inside me intensified, and I felt like I was losing my grip on sanity.Suzy quickly withdrew her hand, not wanting to exacerbate the situation. "Luna, you're safe. It's just a vision; it's not real. Take deep breaths and focus on my voice." Brad tried to comfort me.
Alisha's POVAfter hearing Uncle Joey and his daughter Evita's conversation, a surge of anger ran over my body. It was obvious that they had also come to Blood Dawn, but Evita and Joey were just ordinary guests, uninvited and thus ineligible to attend the formal ceremony. No wonder she was so furious, but to insult my mother so casually, Evita must pay the price for her actions. Despite losing my childhood memories, I would never allow anyone to disrespect my family. Feeling much better now and regaining some strength, I got up and walked to a window near the garden, hiding behind the curtains as I secretly observed what they were up to."Evita!" Uncle Joey's stern voice stopped her in her tracks. He cautiously looked around, seemingly concerned about being overheard by others. I quickly hid behind the curtain. After a while, feeling safer, Joey spoke seriously and in a low voice, "How many times have I told you! Do not mention anything about Alisha's parents ever again!"Evita seem
