Unwanted Luna Became A Big Star

#Chapter 2 - Actress Competition

I opened my eyes but was stunned to find what was in front of me. I was in the right location, but in front of me were dozens of women of all different shapes and sizes in all their beauty walking around the place in bikinis.

Before I could process what was happening, several men came up from behind me. I could not sense them.

So it is true the senses are dulled in the human world.

A human man, presumably a bodyguard or something, grabbed my hand roughly and began to question me. I was not a fan of his tone.

“Why are you still in your regular clothes. Why did you not get changed?”

“What are you talking about,” I asked. I shook his hand away. As a werewolf, my strength didn’t match the human appearance. None of the werewolves living in the human world do.

“Great another airhead,” One of the others muttered.

Airhead!

“Unless you want to lose your qualification for the competition you need to go get changed and stop acting like you can come and go as you please.” The second tallest man said. He was wearing a suit like the rest, but he had a buzz cut.

“Who’s in charge here! Let me talk to him!” I stated calmly. “It’s really just coincidence. I’m not here for ......” But it was no use the bodyguards began to shove me.

I tried to desperately get away from them. Rip! The bastard had torn a huge hole in my jacket. The bald body guard tried to tear at her shorts only to get kicked in the chest. I heard an oof before the gripe around my waist loosened.

Whomever grabbed my shirt quickly let go not wanting to make the same mistake. I was humiliated by the display of man, but at least I was still clothed.

I tried to run away however they outnumbered me. As the head of the bodyguards made a grab for my jacket once more I ducked underneath him and slide. I got up nd took off running.

I knew that they would chase after me but I was faster even in my human form. I could hear Tide howling in my ear. At least you are enjoying yourself.

Using the last bit of strength I could muster from my wolf I quicken her pace enough to get away from them.

“I forgot that transporting yourself between the worlds does drain you. Mama was out for hours before she woke up.” I was out of breath and needed to hide from those guys.

I spotted an office close enough that I could sneak in without being spotted. I ran to the room and shut the door behind me. I tried to catch my breath once more. Fearing I might pass out when I heard noise coming from outside my peripheral vision.

I turned around to see a man standing behind me. The only thing that came to my mind that could describe him was gorgeous. Wearing a tailored business shirt that hugged his biceps he looked to be at least 6’4’.

He was staggering over my 5’3 short and small frame. As he walked closer to me I got a better look at him. He had a strong chiseled chin and high cheek bones. I could tell that unlike the town of stardom, there was nothing plastic on this Adonis in front of me.

And then he opened his mouth and spoke.

 “Miss, what do you seem to be hiding from?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 “Miss, what do you seem to be hiding from?” There was an echo in the room. Or maybe my ears were still ringing.

I could hear the man standing in front of me asking the question again. While I was recovering from the spell physically my senses where slowly coming back.

Oh…I’m sorry. I don't have any idea of what is going on. The bodyguards in the front seem to be very “enthusiastic” about their job.”

I said glaring towards the door. I was still in shock, but venting to the handsome stranger seemed to calm me down. I could not deny that he was a good piece of eye candy to get lost in.

The man stared at me and raising his eyebrows. “You do know that this is a actor casting and selection competition, right? But you somehow manage to get by heavy security that was in place?”

I heard nothing left after that word: Casting.

That’s all I needed to hear. I could almost laugh at the sheer luck that was placed in front of me. That explained the venue that was chosen and its sensual nature. It also explained all the varies of beautiful women that were about.

This is my opportunity! I thought with glee.

Carpe diem! Seize the Day!

Acting.

That was the dream that I had been chasing down since I was a little girl. Those days that I believed that I could be amongst the humans.

But all that was halted when I was brought to the werewolf world for unknown reasons.

 My dream was shattered and left unfulfilled. I decided that I would give up my hopes and dreams to become a traditional werewolf. The perfect Luna; dedicating myself to both my pack and my mate. There were consequences that every now and again I reflect on but only for a moment.

I became the perfect Luna and had everything from my dreams to my upbringing shoved back in my face by a less than my perfect mate. I swallowed the urge to spit at the thought of him and his new mistress.

But that was behind me now.

After ten years, fate was pushing me towards my dreams once more. A competition for selecting actress. This was a gift sent to me by the Moon Goddess.

‘Best get some practice in with Mr. Hot Stranger.’

“Silly me,” I said calmly, “Of course I am participating in the competition. But the building is so confusing and the directions were no help either. I was unable to find my dressing room.” I said assuring myself and the man in front of me.

However I could tell he suspicious of me. “You seem a little out of place for the competition.”

“It’s that what gets attention, those that don’t look like everyone else.” I said with a smile.

“What I mean is you look strange.”

“All the women here its not a surprise that I was overlooked.” I said.

The man gave a quick smirk that vanished as he spoke. “But a face as magnificent as your should not be overlooked. Maybe I need to re-familiarize the profiles of all the contestants.”

Is he flirting with me? Focus Ava!

My brain began to work into overdrive. He looks a lot like a broker. If he goes into the profiles, he’ll know I’m not suppose to be here.

I touched my face. “It must be the new makeup that I am using. Thank you for noticing, but I think I have taken enough of your time.” I said as I began open the door. I started to walk outside in the direction away from where the guards had chased me.

That is until he stopped me.

“You are going to wrong direction .” He pointed and moved ahead of me. “The dressing room is that way in the opposite direction.”

Shit!

I could feel myself blush. The lie I was spinning was not easy to get out of. “I was headed to the bathroom.

“It’s right up front.” He said dryly.

I looked at myself in the mirror. True I was beautiful; my hair cascaded in black waves down my back but with all the running I had been doing to get away from the guards I looked like a haggard wretch.

The black tights and shorts I was wearing was stretched from them grabbing me. My jacket had a huge hole in it. This was nothing close to the attire of an actress let alone someone trying to compete in a contest.

Not only did my outfit not fit the theme, but the bodyguards would recognize the tattered clothing. While it was my dream, I did not see myself participating in the competition.

I just wanted to stay a while and bask in that feeling I once had. I wanted the smell of the set. I wanted the feel for the costumes. Hell I want to taste the art.

“What should I do? If I continue to wear what I have on I will be recognized immediately not to mention humiliated during the competition.” There was already a bodyguard making rounds outside the bathroom door.

All of a sudden the bathroom stall next to me began to ring. A woman emerged from the stall, angrily on the phone as she walked out. She was carrying a big bag that looked like a lot of costumes. One piece of clothing even fell on the floor.

“Looks like the Goddess is on my side.”

I drooped to my knees and snatched the dress under the stall. Her wolf, Tide grunted.

“This looks more like lingerie than a dress. What scenes would you use this for?” I almost yelled. I huffed as I began to disrobe.

“It’s better than nothing,” I said.

Immediately I changed into the dress the last thing I needed was someone to walk in. I walked out of the stall and looked at the radiance in the mirror. “Oh Victoria’s Secret Angel.”

I blew a kiss to my reflection. “I look good.”

“Narcissist,” Tide huffed her breath inside my mind.

“I am just missing the wings.”

I chuckled. As I  walked out of the bathroom, trying to tiptoe the entire way. Trying to fit in with the rest of the beauties.

However the joy was short lived. I felt something tug me back. As I looked behind me I could not believe my bad luck. The one of the bodyguards from earlier grabbed me by the wrist and yanked me towards him.

 “Miss, I checked just now, and you are obviously not on the list of players we invited. Please leave immediately.”

Oh s**t!
