I was standing in front of Elijah and I could not deny that I was unsure how to proceed from here. After our last encounter I knew any type of anger towards him would do me no good.“Miss Ava, what do I owe for this company? What have you done this time and what can I do for you?” His voice was harsh and ridged.I had no doubt that his tone was like the others that I had my misfortune of talking to. Everyone besides Lydia was not only nice but also respectful. I had learned from my previous encounters with not only Elijah but also the staff he was managing.I should have retreated when I saw his glare. I should have just told him its was nothing, but he was the one I went to since Lydia could not. Our back and forth confirmation last time was not the best move for me to make and I was not going to make the same mistake.After all, Elijah was a handsome and somewhat powerful agent. Compared to him I was just a novice wannabe actress that was a casting candidate. I was nothing in the wo
The day had finally arrived. All the contestants were gathered backstage to show the hard work that they had put on for the past two weeks. Or in her case three days.I refuse to wait backstage, because I knew that they would all try to crowd me and give one final round of ass kissing. I don't do flattery. If you have talent and you want to be in the entertainment business let your actions speak not your gestures.I refuse to wait in the front row with the judges because they would try to make small talk with me and ignore the performance of the competitors. They were here to judge not to gossip and gaggle.I was fine sitting in the balcony overseeing everything. It was one of the main reasons why my rounds were only in the mornings and later in the afternoons before majority of them were ready to go home. Because who wants to make small talk when you are exhausted.I stood in the balcony box to get a view of the stage. I knew that everyone would be in the seats below looking at the c
I was out of breath. I had given it all I could. Honestly I could not have asked for a better performance.I still could not believe that everything played out so well. I did not stutter. I did not forget my words.My performance ended exactly like my rehearsals--absolutely perfect !Lydia had a few doubts when I brought my ideas to her, but I was so excited during my rehearsals I could not keep my thoughts bottled in.I looked up to see Lydia. She was all smiles and holding up her thumbs up to only I could see. She truly believed in my inspiration and my alterations.During rehearsal I felt a connection to one of the scripts that Lydia had given me. Even thought I did not study it like the other girls I knew the entire movie word for word.I felt a connection to the character as well as the role she played. With that in my I added to the part and modified it as if was my own. It was not easy. But the results showed that it was beyond worth it.I stood there trying not to shift and sho
The only thing that could describe everything around me was one word.Chaos.Several of the staff members rushed away from the stage without hesitation no doubt to look for Ava. They acted as if an emergency had just taken place. Of course the winner forfeiting her title and the chance of a life time of be considered an emergency.I could hear the announcer in a shocking voices state, “ This is a twist that no one could have saw coming.” “ "Oh, an unexpected scene happened."”As I walked off stage I knew that the look of confusion and shock could be read across my face.However, I was more intrigued by this little newbie's actions. I could hear the judges and even some of the contestants discuss what had unfolded just minutes ago."What's the situation?” Where you all that blind. "This woman has been teasing our boss recently." You were upset because your tricks failed against me. "We should have given her the boot a long time ago." You skills left a l
"Because, I have a history of not being able to show myself in public. I... I was wanted." Elijah's eyes filled with wonder. After confessing to Elijah I felt defenseless. I had been pretending to be strong for so long that mustering up what little courage I had left brought me to tears. I had never let my guard down around anyone since Jacob. The last time I shared my ambitions with any man he threw my heritage and my dreams in my face, I was still afraid that Elijah would become as malicious as Jacob. But I had to trust him., I just could not bring myself to lie to this man I front of me "The truth is, I'm actually a child actor, but I haven't been on the big screen for at least a decade. Maybe you've seen the movies I've been in. They gave me the nickname Little Aviator." Elijah nodded. "Yeah, I've seen that one. The little girl in the show is amazing, so is
My eyes harden as I stared at Elijah. "I won't let you down. However, to be on the safe side, I have an idea to tell you..." I hoped that my plan made sense to him. "What are you trying to say?" Elijah asked. “What is your idea?”"I was thinking, maybe I can have plastic surgery and change my face." I said nervously. "In this way, I think it will be less likely that someone will reveal my true identity."It was a good idea not only for my past issues but also for my present problems. Since wolves did not have a heighten sense of smell in the human world. Anyone from Jacob's pack or anyone hired to search for me would be looking for my face."Oh, it's not necessary." Elijah flatly refused. "Did you know that you look very different from when you were a child, and even your pupil color has changed."“Really?” I was amazed that I had changed that much.Is
Elijah and I headed back to the stage. I held my head up high and smiled at the crowd. The host and announcer of the contest was hyping the crowd up to for my return on stage.I had to hand it to Elijah the people that were under his employment knew how to turn the situation no matter the situation. He has applauding as I returned to the from of the stage.The host shouted at everyone, “ CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!!!!! ” The audience were roaring at his dramatic announcement."Oh, it was just a wonderful impromptu performance just now. Ms. Ava's acting skills have fooled us all. She is indeed our acting star." I looked at him appreciatively, he was a man who was good at getting out of trouble."Now, we announce that Moon Entertainment will officially sign contracts with the top three winners of this acting competition. First place, Ms. Ava. Second place, Ms. Lily. Third place, Ms. Jessica."
I jolted awake a scream. I had another dream about Jacob and his mistress, Alex. I considered this something lucky that it was only nightmares. Now that I was in the human world, I could not feel the mating bond with Jacob like I usually would in the were world.I left my bedroom and journeyed to the kitchen. I grabbed a glass from the cabinet and proceeded to fix myself a drink of water. My next step was to change out of my night clothes because they were drenched in sweat.It was not secret that Alex and Jacob were fooling around behind my back. They had been dating for years before Jacob and I met. When his wolf recognized me as their fated mate; he chose me.Jacob always felt ashamed and nostalgic for Alex. I took care of everything very well; I was the perfect mate and Luna. But it was not enough.It wasn't until six years later, when Alex returned to the pack, and she told Jacob that she
