#Chapter 3 - Stay
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Before I could even follow the other models someone grabbed my wrist and yanked me towards them. It was the bald headed bodyguard that I had been arguing with earlier.
“Miss, I checked just now, and you are obviously not on the list of players we invited. Please leave immediately.” The man said in an agitated voice.
This was a game of hide and seek and not only did I get caught but I could tell there patience was thin. But this did not deter me. I was not giving up.
Looks like I have to play it up again.
“Oh? Do you know who I am? Maybe you should check again. There are so many actors’ faces here, do you even remember all of them clearly? Let go of me this instant or I will have your job.” I said. I was showing them I was not afraid to shout and make a scene.
The bodyguard sneered at me. “Cute, but this is a venue with 24-hour surveillance and triple security facilities in place. There is no way you could just come and go as you please without getting spotted.”
With that comment my eyes grew wide. I was afraid something like this would happened. If they caught me on camera just appearing out of no where I could be in worse trouble then being removed from the set.
Werewolves were not allowed to be discovered by humans for any reason.
I glared up at the tall man. “If this is such high level security as you claim it is, how did I manage to get in if I am not here to compete?”
The bodyguard’s face began to turn red as he started to yell at me.
“This is why I am gonna throw you out on your pretty little ass, you hear me. Only God knows the types of tricks you have been playing around here. You could be a thief for all we know. Or worse! If you weren’t so fucking pretty you would be in handcuffs right now. Pretty does not mean you are not above suspicion, you hear me.”
More and more people began to gather around the spectacle.
The loud mouth is causing a scene.
“I think you have made a mistake, sir,” insisted I.
Suddenly, a booming and alluring voice was heard. “Put her down.” The sound of the voice not only had gotten everyone’s attention but dispersed the crowd.
“She is part of the competition.” The voice continued. It was the handsome broker from earlier. Even though he was young, I could tell that among the crowd of people his voice and words carried a lot of authority and weight around the venue.
The bald headed bodyguard did not seem willing to heed the broker’s words. “But sir, her identity….”
“I do not like repeating myself. Do not make me say it a second time.” The handsome man said almost growling at the head of security. The bodyguard was disgruntled but he respectfully obeyed the handsome man’s command.
As he let go of my wrist I fought the urge to stick my tongue out at the bald headed prick. I smiled at this savior of mine.
“Are you one of the agents here? You seem very well respected around here.”
The handsome man raised his eyebrows, “You can understand that too, good.
“Of course, everyone went about their business when you came to view.” I knew I was playing with fire. “Thank you again Mr...”
My name is Elijah. And what do I call you, Miss…”
“Ava…Clifton,” I stated. “Thanks for your help…”
Elijah walked closer to me clearing the gap between us. He gained my attention. I resisted the urge not to get a whiff of his scent.
“The preparations for this game started a month ago. The security personnel are very responsible for everything. They are dedicated to their duties and want to do everything well.”
I looked down. I actually felt guilty for getting the guards into so much trouble when they were just doing their jobs.
“Look, Mr. Elijah——
“Just Elijah, will do.” The handsome man stated cutting me off.
“I have to be honest and confess something to you. I wasn’t invited to this competition. I just... just wanted to visit this place because it holds good memories for me. My dream is to become an actress someday and I could not pass up this opportunity. I want to see how it happens here, see. Are there any future stars here?”
In truth I felt horrible for lying for so long. I wanted to be as sincere and honest with this man as much as possible. I felt that since he did help me out that I should return the favor. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy—-
“Oh?” Elijah’s eyes grew playful.
“I just would like to watch I promise I won’t cause any trouble.” I said sweetly trying to plead to Elijah.
Elijah spread his hands, “It’s okay, you can really participate. I have this authority.”
“Its no trouble,” I tried.
“It’s okay, you can really participate.” He countered.
“Pay attention little kitten.” Elijah said. “This is the last time I am going to say this.”
Kitten? I am no one's kitten.
“I said it’s okay for you to participate in the competition. I have the authority to make it so.”
“Thank you so very much,” I said trying not to blush. It had been a while since any male had given me this kind of attention. Even getting Jacob to notice me was difficult and we were married—well separated.
“Well Ms. Clifton, it’s your lucky day. Even though you are an unknown factor here we had a model cancel on us due to an illness. So, I guess you can take her spot as a fill-in. This might be good for you.”
I could hardly believe it; I was being given a second chance to follow my dreams. I wanted to stir my wolf with how giddy I was but being in the human world I decided against it. I would tell Tide later.
“Thank you so—- Once again he stopped me, but this time I noticed his tone.
“Not that it matters,” Elijah said as he walked away beginning to contact someone on his smartphone.
“I’ve seen too many vase girls like you who only take pictures. You don’t think that one more entry will make any difference to the outcome of this competition, do you?” Elijah said as he started to walk away from the conversation. He turned around with a smirk and added.
“You will probably get eliminated in the first around anyway.”
And just like that the handsome man that I thought was on my savior was now on my shit list along with my asshole of a husband.

“That’s a backhanded compliment if I ever heard one.” I said clenching my fist.'Is that so,” Elijah put his hand to his phone.“What did you mean by that?” I said fighting the urge to punch something or someone.Elijah took a deep breath as he put away his phone. I guess he decided to engage with me.“While it is true that you are beautiful and you are in great shape, there is no guarantee that you are actress material. At best you could be sign to our modeling department later on after the competition is over.”I could feel my canines grinding against one another. “ I am not interested in being another pretty face. I do not want to model. I want to be an actress.”“You want to be an actress yet you are not on the list. Be grateful that you are here.” Elijah said giving me a warning. However it was a warning that I ignored. I refused to be singled out and labelled as just another pretty face.I was able to hold a pack together when my mate was showing weakness.

Unwanted Luna Became A Big Star #Chapter 5 - The Deal
Elijah’s POVI looked down at the petite woman in front of me. I could not deny that I admired her ambition. Her drive. Hell, I admired anyone that had that much gull to stand up to me.As I grabbed a hold of her hand and shook in agreement to her deal, I could not help but notice that fire that radiated between the two of us. Almost like electricity flowing from her into me. It was almost magnetic, but I brushed it off to just static from an unknown source. I kept thinking about her eyes. They held a brilliant fire that I could not place. It was vivid and infectious to see her responses to me. Even her reactions to the situations have been funny.She was beautiful. No, she was absolutely gorgeous standing at 5’3. Her frame was petite and graceful yet deadly and patient. I could not lie she looked familiar to me, but I could not place her.The breath of air that she created around her was ambiguous to say the least. But I felt that I was letting my emotions get in the way of my judg
Unwanted Luna Became A Big Star #Chapter 6 - The beginning of Competition
And just like that I was taking part of the competition. My heart could not stop pounding. After Elijah made the grand gesture and I accepted I had expected a lot of people to vocalize me being a late however no one made waves to address the situation. Which was fine with me.As I looked up at my advisory I knew that whatever he had in store for me would test more than jus my abilities at an actress."That's all I can help you with. You won't say it's unfair, will you?" he said. “I cannot image you pouting at the situation at hand.”“Why would I pout,” I said. "You are at a slight disadvantage, kitten. “After all, the other candidates have two full weeks to prepare." My heart skipped a beat. The contest took two weeks of preparation."What about me?" Ava asked."Oh—" he said meaningfully, "the game starts the day after tomorrow."Elijah had arranged for me to be instructed by Lydia. She would be in charge of any lessons or important details throughout the competition. That's when th

The competition had not even started yet and I felt that something was wrong. The first issue turned into an argument with one of the staff advisors.“'There must be some mistake.” I said.”“No ma'am there is no mistake.” he said unwilling to budge.“Then why am I not eligible to book an audition or get stage tie for that matter?” I was in disbelief.“Well miss, unfortunately the stage opportunity before the show is already full.” The young man said rigidly.This was ridiculous for the pass few hours I saw that no one was on that stage. Something was a miss. “That's impossible1 I clearly saw that the stage was empty!”Despite my protest he held his ground against me. “Sorry but an appointment has to be made. We play and follow the rules here.” He said uncaring.I caught what he stated with a certain tone. 'We play by the rules here.' Was that a knock at how I got into the competition. “So let me get an appointment for an audition.”He exhaled in a huff, “Like I said an appointment is
Unwanted Luna Became A Big Star #Chapter 8 - Fight Back
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
Unwanted Luna Became A Big Star #Chapter 9 - A Shining New Star
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
Unwanted Luna Became A Big Star #Chapter 11 - Escape
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

(Ava’s POV)I took a deep breath as I turned to see the Twins Tiene and Ash extend their hands out to me. I tried to holding my laughter in as I saw them wearing suits and ties. I had been so use to cut shirts and damaged jeans I had hardly recognized their clean shaven attire. “We know that Alpha Elijah cannot escort you inside but,” Ash started the conversation.“Hopefully the two of us can be half the man that our Alpha is,” Tiene finished.“May you gentlemen escort me inside,” I asked as I took both of their forearms and smiled at Elijah. While I was upset that he would not be with me during my speech I was glad I had so much support around me. On both sides. I did not look back at we headed towards the building I remembered what Elijah told me before we left the manor. “When we get there whatever you do: Do not look back. It is a sign of weakness.” I could feel Elijah’s eyes on me as the twins lead me into the building. The twins opened the door for me and we walked inside.
Unwanted Luna Became A Big Star #Chapter 79: Ceasing Fire
(Elijah’s POV)I woke up to find my mate in my arms. I leaned into her body to make sure it was not a dream. The scent of cinnamon and vanilla filled my nostrils. It had been three days since we took down all of the bases of the Syndicate. However there were still reports of humans trying to form groups to assault werewolves or people that they believed were werewolves. I was optimistic that we could put an end to this. I rose out of bed and took a deep breath as I got dressed. I pulled out a black suit with a blue shirt and black tie. Today was the day that we had been waiting for. I received word that the high commanding officers of the humans were looking to bring me in for questioning. Word was spreading that a faction of wolves had lead an attack on a militia that was eradicating humans. Since Ava and I were known to the public as werewolves naturally they would suspect us first.Good luck proving it. My wolf scoffed and laughed as he laid down and covered his body with his t
Unwanted Luna Became A Big Star #Chapter 78: Raiding the Syndicate
(Elijah’s POV)I am sorry Ava.As much as I wanted to have my mate help me lead the charge it would be a danger to her. I did not want to risk the plan because I was blinded by my need to have my mate at my side. Alpha we are in position from the north part of the stronghold. I heard Grayson mindlink with me. Grayson was at the rear of the charge with Doni as we began stormed the last front of the Syndicate’s threshold.It looks like most of the humans that have occupied this base do not have strong enough supplies or weapons to put up much of a fight. Doni was overly confident about the situation but I made sure that all of the soldiers on my end waited for my signal. Area 12; it was the last Syndicate base in the human realm. We found out that there were at least seven in the human world and five in the werewolf realm. Many of the other Alphas that could not leave their territory had informed me that others were leading the attack on the based in the werewolf realm. This incre

(Ava’s POV)As I wake up for my stupor I realized a few things. I could sense that another witch was in the territory or at least she was. I knew it had to be my master Shanti given the power trail that she left. At least they have support. I thought as I craned my shoulders and neck. As I sat up I noticed that Shanti had also put up a barrier to prevent me from leaving the house. Apparently my mate does not trust me to stay put. He was right, I would have bolted the first chance I got. Then I noticed I could not get a scent from my mate. I let out a frustrated groan. They went out of their way to make sure I would stay out of the fight. While I am upset with Elijah I know that in order for the plan to work I have to stay out of sight. I dont like it nor do I agree with it but I have to follow my mate’s command. I make my way to the kitchen to get a glass of water and check on the hounds. Since the attack on them we have been monitoring them to make sure their are no lingering
Unwanted Luna Became A Big Star #Chapter 76:Storming the Front
(Elijah’s POV)Despite the blockade between the worlds, the closing portals and the round the clock surveillance on my property I was able to bypast all of that and get the information needed. I did not want to tire my mate out but her ability to open portals at any given moment was a blessing from the Moon Goddess. With her will and determination we were able to contact and summon at least 3 hundred able body soldiers. She opened portals to several safe houses that I bought before Ava came to the mortal realm. Even though I was not prepping for a doomsday I did want to prepare just in case there was a huge number of werewolves that want to transfer to the human realm whether for temporary visit or permanent. With permission from the Alpha that wanted to stay behind I was in command several packs to storm Syndicate threshold.“We have everything needed to take on each stronghold. With Ava’s help every pack is close in position to attack on your command,” Lewis said as he looked ov
Unwanted Luna Became A Big Star #Chapter 75: Last Wish
(Ava’s POV)As I looked at the ceiling I could not help but get upset. Sleep eluded me constantly. Since the children were born I was use to getting up a few times during the night or sleeping in the nursery with them. However I was still able to get sleep. I shifted tossed and turned the entire night. Even with Elijah holding me half the night before he fell into slumber I could not get to sleep. I could feel Elijah’s warmth and power surround me and keep me safe throughout out the night, but it was not enough to lull me to sleep. The image of the werewolf being shot still haunted my thoughts. Seeing the poor fellow werewolf being forced into transforming and then being slaughtered because of it turned my stomach. That could have been me, if Elijah and Grayson had not protected me. The Syndicate laced the award with something that caused my transformation. I almost rampaged the city and if anything got worse I would have been killed. After the new release the video was circulatin
Unwanted Luna Became A Big Star #Chapter 74: The Symbol of Hope
(Ava’s POV)You have a plan,” I ask unsure about the situation. After showering with Elijah I felt a sense of calmness around me. It made me realize that I had been walking on pins and needles in my past relationship. “I have a plan to take down the Syndicate, get you back into the world as a beacon of survival and hope,” Elijah said as he passed a mug of coffee to me. Grayson stood at the oven fixing breakfast for the lot of us. Hearing my stomach I could not remember the last time I ate anything…or kept anything down. My nerves were all over the place. “So what is your plan Alpha,” Grayson said with his back still turned to us. “My plan is of course to find out were all of there hideouts are in the human wprld. Thye must be relying on humans to fortitfy themselves here. I ant to hit ech one before we move to anything critical to the plan.”“Which is,” I asked eagerly.“You,” Elijah said before taking a sip of coffee.“Me! Why me,” I felt like a weigh was going to slam into me a
Unwanted Luna Became A Big Star #Chapter 73: The Aftermath
(Elijah’s POV)Waking up I could hear the television, I look over and see the side of the bed that usually occupied by my mate is empty. I could not tell you how long its been since she slept next to me. Not that I blame her, with the world finding out that she is werewolf and forcefully transforming in front of the world would deter anyone’s spirit. I can feel my wolf licking on wounds both the physical and emotional. I try to shake everything off but I am still healing from the gun fire assault that Grayson and I protected Ava from. What kind of mate would I be if I let humans harm Ava.As I roll out of bed my hand automatically reaches for my cellphone. It is the only link that I have between the humans and my king. I unlock my phone and listen to my voicemails first. I don’t recognize this number but if it had my contact information it had to be important. I press play and I cannot believe what I am hearing:Good evening Mr. Elijah Connery. This is the representative for Troy O

(Ava’s POV)“YOU WON! AVA YOU WON THE AWARD!”Everything seemed like a fantasy. A dream that I had hoped for since I was a little girl.“I cannot believe that I am holding this…every endeavor that I have pushed to be apart of. I would …”That slowly turned into a nightmare that I could not escape from.Ava what is the matter? What is going on?“Freak.”“Monster.”Everything seemed to replay in my mind like a horrible series of a television show and I could not turn it off. Because it was my life.Where did it all go so wrong? How did we come so far to be under fire by my mistake?This thought and others kept circulating in my head. Tide, my wolf, was resting after running to escape the mayhem. She finally was able to shift in the human world-not that she was happy about the exposure or the wounds our mate suffered due to us.Even after I transformed back into a human I was still shot at, however Elijah and Grayson shielded me from the attack. When I came to I noticed that none of the
