Who is he? [part 1]

Stephanie’s Point of view:

As I arrived at the main company, I was told to wait in the reception, and I did as I was told.

"You may follow me, Miss Green."

A beautiful redhead announced while she was leading the way.

I followed her to the studio where I was greeted by the team members: the hairstylist, makeup artist, and the main designer.

The makeup artist was named 'Julie'. I got to say that she's a very talented human girl.

She started by cleaning my face; it felt clean and fresh. Then she moisturized my face before applying a primer. This one would ensure that my makeup would stay as long as possible. She then moved on to a duo fiber brush to apply the foundation all over the skin and blend it into my neck.

The next move was applying the concealer below my eyes, which gives natural-looking coverage.

She then added a highlighter along the top of my cheekbones, on the cupid's bow, chin, and between the brows.

After that, she swiped the contour powder along the sides of my nose. She also applied some blush to my apples of cheeks. Extending up to award my temples.

Then a light gold shining shadow to the lids and just below the last line. Not to mention the fluffy blending brush to dust a soft brown shade into the crease, and within a second it was all blended outward.

The next step was to fill in my brows using a powder and swipe on black mascara.

Last but not least, the lip makeup - Using a lip brush, she swiped a red lipstick on my lips, and we were finally ready.

As Julie put so much effort into my face, Daniel the hairstylist did a quick, simple bun that wouldn't outshine the makeup.

A beautiful curly bun in which my hair was twisted and pulled down the back of my head with some hairpins.

They were all satisfied with how I looked, but not me. There was something missing, but I still cannot figure it out.

Everything was going smoothly. James looked very satisfied with the pictures we took at this session. Well, everything was fine until a man got in.

Did I mention that he was super-hot and good-looking? Well, he is hot and good-looking.

The hell is going on with me. I already have a mate. But seriously, something about him feels familiar.

It was about the time when I noticed that he was glaring at me... Wait; he was glaring at me, and I started losing the few drops left from my self-confidence.

What's wrong with me?? Do I look that awful??? ... I knew something was off about me but didn't even think for a while that it deserved such a reaction.

James's point of view:

The shoot session went smoothly. I like that Stephanie girl. She totally fits the visual object and also the theme of this photoshoot session. The pictures are too good for our campaign so far. It still only needs post-production and editing, and everything will eventually be perfect.

I still wonder where Lukas is till now. He should be here to see the model. He is the one supposed to be picking the model and signing the contract with her representative agency, not me.

But again, instead of doing his job, he's spending time having fun with that Rebekah girl. and I'm the one who's always got to do all the hard work.

Finally!! Lucas The Dark Knight is here ... The silence consumed the whole studio by his arrival, but then something was not right with him, and it happened that I didn't get what's wrong with him.

He was here for a second, and now he's not. I wonder if I'm missing something, but he seems not to like the model or something about the campaign.

Well, whether he likes it or not, I'm the one doing everything so far, and I'm not ready to change a thing about it.

Lucas' point of view:

I breathed hard, moving my hand through my hair as I stepped inside the studio... It's really her. She’s still so beautiful as she always was.

But then I noticed something - it feels as if she's not feeling the mate bond at all... Is that so? Why the he** am I the only one feeling the mate bond? why she can't feel it?

I exclaimed inside of my head since she wasn't showing any sort of feelings toward me, which is weird.

I've also noticed that she's not human this time, and I don't know why - but somehow it doesn't seem to be something good.

I mean, she's always human, isn't she??!!

She also smells different this time, it seems that her scent is mixed with another male scent, and that was driving my wolf crazy.

Why on earth would she have a male scent on her?

So many questions that are playing in my head, but I can't find any answers to these questions.

Wait...!! Is that a mark on her neck!!!... The male wolf can only mark his mate. The mark will keep another male wolf away from the she-wolf. Only werewolves are able to see the mark on a she-wolf. Humans can't see the mark.

Why on earth is my mate having a mark on her neck?

As far as I remember, I've never marked her, and it's only because of the curse. If it wasn't for that stupid curse, I would have done it the day I met her 1400 years ago. My wolf is getting crazy asking for control, but I can't let him have it here, next to her. It never ends well.

I have to get out of here before it's too late.
