Elijah summoned me to his office the next day to go over his idea for me to gain more exposure. I did not have to knock, because before I reached to touch the door with my knuckles I heard his deep voice calling out to me.
“Enter.” I grabbed the knob, turned, and walked in. There he was across the room from me sitting in a very prestige desk looking over paperwork. He was wearing a tan three piece suit and wrapped his frame and muscles.
Just the sight of him made me tempted. Too bad his actions left me wanting to stay far away from him. True he apologized tome and even convinced me to sign to his compnay, but I felt like I was under another man’s thumb.
True it had its perks but being a part of this company was like being apart of a wolf pact. I was at the bottom of the hierarchy because I was new to everything around me. Things seemed to change in the last decade.
Even though I was the Luna of Jacob&rsq
Ava’s POVI honestly thought I was helping Lily. I thought I was doing something nice for someone and she would do the same for me. I did not think that she still held any grudges against me, but clearly, I was wrong.You should be more careful. Tide said into my mind. We cannot smell lies or other emotions here like we could in the were world. Not all humans are friendly.She was right in the werewolf world I was easily able to sense the lies, the fears and even the mistrust of those around us. Here amongst the humans, I felt as if everything was unclear. From the diminish of my perfect sight—I could still see but not as far away as I was used to—to the inability to hear miles away from my location.It was almost like being a human.Don’t make me laugh. Tide countered. We are nothing like them we just need to be more careful around these mortals, especially
As I walked across the stage as my name was being announced, I felt butterflies in my stomach. This was new too me. I never got truly nervous when I performed but this was different. I was showcasing my body as if it was a talent.There were nineteen other beauty pageant contestants besides me and every one of them were not only beautiful, but it was plain as the nose on the announcer’s face that each one of them were determined to win.After the stroll around the stage flashing smiles and waves, we were sent backstage to change into the evening gowns. The one that Elijah and the stylist--who’s names I learned later was Tessa—agreed upon a jaded green floor length gown with a corset bodies.Curse them both for picking this dress, how do women breathe in this thing? The dress used cords instead of strings to cinch my chest and waist tightly into the dress. The gown at my pelvis bunched at the bottom of the corset before cascading down t
Sally told me that the success and buzz I created at the pageant led to two script offers. I was excited to hear that the pageant did pave the wave for not only two new roles for myself but also to build my fanbase. It had me thinking how big I could have been it I had never left the human world.I asked Sally to explain the roles in getter detail, however she could only give me the premise and general idea of both roles. One was a female guest on a big hit series, Sally speculated that it could lead to a reoccurring role in the future. The other was a supporting actress role in a small budget movie.I told them that I wanted to look over both scripts before making my decision. This was the first time I got a look at the full script for a film. Elijah had pulled some strings to get the full script in my hands.He had given both to me in his office away from prying eyes. No one besides myself and Elijah knew about the full scripts, and I wanted to keep it that wa
Elijah’s POVI looked over the new faces that had been added to our roster. A lot of the pretty faces that the competition had brought made it clear they wanted to be models or designated for commercials. Which was fine by me, not everyone had the potential that Ava brought.Or even Lily for that matter.I had not seen either girl in the studio since both got roles for their debuts. I had given actresses such as Ava and Lily freedom in certain aspects, but I could see that the pettiness in some of the actors needed to be reined in.Before my thoughts could go any further, I heard a knock at my office door. “Enter.” I said. I truly missed my wolf senses during this time.With my heightened senses I would be able to know who was at my door and whether or not I wanted them in my presence or not. Other than my assistant and Grayson I was not really in the mood to had petty squabbles between actors.When I looked up, I saw none
As Elijah looked at the pictures in front of him, he tried his best to piece everything together with the little information that was in front of him. While he did agree to give Ava a new identity and background; he could not stop him self from trying to find the gaps in her past. He did not extinguish the search for what happened to Ava for the decade that she had been missing.How did a young child star just go missing for ten years and no one report it? Elijah thought as he looked through old newspaper articles on his desktop.Everything about this was as clean as a cut.Even with all my connections I should be able to find something more about Ava’s disappearance. Elijah thought as he leaned back into his desk chair. Grayson had warned him not to obsess over this situation, but Elijah could not help it.Looking at all her pictures and headlines when she was a young child she could not have been more than nine or ten years old when she was discovered. She had been in and out of sm
Ava’s PovI kept to myself for the next days. I knew I should have apologize to Elijah but every time he was around me I wanted to scream. He was a bastard, every day he reminded me of my mate, Jacob.I looked down at my food in disgust. I had lost what little appetite that I had thinking about that cheating traitor. After I left Elijah’s office I tried to talk with Tide but I felt a jolt of energy when I did.She had not been in contact with me for weeks and I was worried. But that energy that flowed through me terrified me. It was unlike anything that I had ever felt.Was there another wolf around here? I stopped my thoughts before my paranoia got a hold me. If I kept thinking that someone was out to get me I would be a nervous wreck.I felt my phone buzz, when I looked down I saw a message from Sally.[SMS from: Sally 👓] I have some good news and bad news for you. Which first?Ever since I been signed to Moon Entertainment, I was given a phone with multiple contacts. I hardly ever
“ I love you, Jacob.” I screamed as he began to walk away from me. “I don’t love you anymore Ava. I am sorry.” A shadow said as he walked away from my grasp. He walked over to another and gave her a kiss right on her lips in front of me. “Why? Why are you doing this?” I began to cry clenching my stomach. “Don;t you get it, half-breed. No one will even want someone like you.” The shadow screamed as it appeared in front of me. It grabbed onto my throat and began to squeeze. “You do not belong here. Not with a pack. NOT with the humans.” The female yelled as Jacob’s grasp grew tighter. “You do not deserve to keep breathing.” Jacob said as he brought both hands to my neck and his grasp tighten. Even clawing at his forearms he would not let go. He was trying to kill me. He wanted to get rid of me. This is why I left the otherworld. I let out a scream as I jolted up from my nightmare. Sweat stuck to my skin and mu night clothes. I had been tossing and turning the entire might .It wa
ElijahSally had reported to me early this morning about her client: Ava. She was becoming a problem child this was proven by the events that followed after our argument. But I knew I could not let Sally or anyone else know about my suspicions about Ava and her behavior.“Good morning, Mr. Connery.”“Miss. Grant, how have things been going?”“Going that is for sure. I do not know if you are aware but Ava has been acting strangely these last few days.”Sally was showing growing concern not only for Ava’s health but also for the company. It was one of the reasons why she was assigned to Ava.“Are we not sure its not due to lack of sleep or stress? The nervous of am actor are not always stable when there is a lot of pressure on them.”“I would of chalked it up as stress or nerves, if she had not practically scream at me a few days ago.”“Ava screamed at you?” I straighten myself at tis statement. True Ava was a free spirit or as Grayson put it a spitfire she did not seem like the time to
