The Unlikely Luna

3. The Silver Siren

*Angelica's POV*

Tonight I was going to sing a new song for the first time. I wrote it but I was still very nervous. The house band and I practiced it a few times before the doors opened but I was still uneasy. Tonight was also request night and it was one of the busiest nights of the week. I sometimes earned tips (and would hide that money from Seth). I was saving it up to be able to leave the pack and run away. I touched up my makeup, brushed off my indigo evening gown, and made sure I looked perfect. I peeked through the curtains, the place was packed. I guess word got out about my teaser from last night... I took a deep breath and focused on relaxing myself. That was until I saw a few familiar faces in the audience. Seth and David were here. That made my anxiety soar through the roof. I just kept trying to focus on my breathing. I was trying to imagine that it was just like practice... the room was empty and I was free to just let it all out. 

Breathe in... 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10

Hold it... 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10

Breathe out 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10

And repeat...

I did this a few times until my heart started to quiet and I no longer was afraid. Time to begin the show. I just hope this would be a hit.

*Seth's POV*

I sat in this stupid lounge surrounded by even stupider humans. What was the big deal about some local girl singing? I heard Angelica singing in the shower every morning. Yes, I liked her singing but she is my fiancee... I didn't want to share her with the world... Alpha Jordan promised her to me... I just could not understand why she was so drawn to this place and to do this every single night. I rarely got to see her anymore and when I did, it was usually to correct some behavior of hers. Most times, I would have to just give her a break for following what Alpha wants but her ignoring me and constantly coming here just irked me. Tonight, I planned on addressing it once and for all... Show Angelica who is in charge of her life and the duties she owed to me. I couldn't help but be curious as the rumor was she was going to sing an original song tonight. I had no fear... She led a pretty good life... I made sure of it. At least, as good as it could be. I watched as she was introduced by some guy in a tuxedo. Probably the owner.

"Please put your hands together for Miss Angelica Emerson!"

The other patrons started to clap and cheer for her and I couldn't help but feel a bit proud of her. She was mine but knowing that she could make an entire lounge excited just at hearing her name... I could maybe use this to my advantage...

*David's POV*

I watched as Angel walked out on stage. Her indigo dress hugged her body and showed off all of her curves. I couldn't help but drool seeing her in such a pretty package. Her heels had to add about 3 inches. Her makeup and hair looked like that of a famous singer with a professional stylist. She was simply breathtaking. She was blushing a bit. She must have been a bit nervous to sing her original song. She first took requests from the audience. Most of the audience chose popular songs like My heart will go on. I couldn't help but fall for her as she sang. She truly was like a siren. The entire lounge was captivated by her voice. She could lead me anywhere with that voice of hers... Finally, the house band came out and set up while she drank more water. Based on what the owner said, Angel doesn't drink. They just make her tea or water whenever she requests it since she brings in so much business.

"Alright, tonight is the night you have been waiting for. I present to you: Looking Glass"

I watched as she blushed a deep crimson and looked around the room. I couldn't help but think she looked like an angel. I wanted her so badly... I could not wait for her to be mine... 

"I can't turn back, the clock marches on.

I want a new pack, I wanna be gone.

It's just a simple fact, I'm simply a pawn.

I need a new start, I need a clear view.

Let me keep my art, I'll give myself to you

Just have a pure heart, Then as you say, I'll do.

I can see through the looking glass,

But I can't seem to change my past. 

I can only learn from my mistakes, 

And learn to tell the real from the fake.

I just want to be free... free only to me...

Free to be me"

Her song evoked feelings from me I thought I'd never feel... She seemed so desperate to leave her current life behind... She needs a change... Something or someone to free her from her current hell... I would give anything to be able to help her take charge of her life.

*Seth's POV*

I couldn't help but get angry with her new song. She was bad-mouthing the pack and her life! Talking about being a pawn and wanting a new start and a different life... I know I should feel more sympathetic. If she was my mate, I might have been more open to what she was saying. However, I could only feel like it was a direct attack on me and the pack that we served. Unfortunately for her, I recorded her little stage act. I was ready to go to Alpha Jordan and file my official complaint and request a new partner. This ungrateful b***h didn't deserve to live in my house any longer. Maybe this time I could get paired up with someone that actually filled my needs and could bring in more money than this useless girl. Or... I could just take matters into my own hands... I decided to text my buddy, Marty. See if he had any ideas.

Me>>Hey, Marty... I need your help.

Marty>>What kind?

Me>>The kind only you can give.

Marty>>Are you asking what I think you are?

Me>>I need to give a special present to A... Know what I mean?

Marty>>Should I tell her who it is from?

Me>>No, let her be surprised
