Someone’s looking

>>Portia (Parisa)Since the place is reserved for people having meetings today. The basement was empty. I was performing for the people who sat behind the screens on the second floor in the rooms and a few of the people sitting in the bar. I was up first and the other girls were to follow up after me. I was first for the sole reason that my performance was going to be short since I was new and then I’d go back while the girls will keep performing.Seeing the empty space made me feel less nervous but it was a different feeling knowing that people were staring at me from behind the screen. It was sort of thrilling, the unseen that can see you but mostly it was nervewracking.I step out onto the stage as the music began to blast, my heart racing with excitement and nerves. I've been practicing for days, pouring every ounce of energy into perfecting my moves the best I could. And as I approach the pole, I can feel someone watching me. I don't know who it is, but I can see their eyes on me

Crushed feelings

>>Portia“How did you find me?” I glared at him and stood up to face him.“Doesn’t matter how,” Egon folded his arms, “But what matters is what you’re doing?” He looked down at me with an angry smirk, “No wolf would stoop so low.” His voice was so low, I could feel the malice coming out of it, “As to work in a place like this.” He looked at my body and I saw his eyes flash golden.“Well, good news,” I stood my ground even after his insult, “I’m not a wolf. I’m a human.”“Half,” He replied, “And you grew up with wolves,” He was clenching his jaw pretty tightly and I could see the veins pop on his neck.“No, I’m a human,” I folded my arms, “And that’s all I’ll ever be.” I kept my glare on, “And I grew up with a bunch of bullies.’ His eye twitched at my remark“Even humans have pride, and you gave it up and came to work in this place.”“I like it here.” I gulped, “And you’re the one to talk, you’re here too.” I smirked, “Didn’t you enjoy my show?” I just said what came to my mouth, I don

Reality

>>Portia (Parisa)I stood there with my lips pursed, fists clenched, and a frown on my face when I heard the sound of heels clacking. The clicking sound made me snap back to reality and I looked around to see someone come in through the other door.Jena came over to me with her gaze fixed on my face while my eyes went a little wide when I noticed her. I wasn’t expecting her and honestly, I didn’t want to face her either. But she came and stood in front of me, then looked at me from head to toe.“What?” I asked nervously.“Your lipstick’s smudged.” She answered in a normal voice but there was something different in her gaze. Something odd,!!!The realization startled me, and I immediately started cleaning my mouth in a panic.I just had a makeout session, a pretty rough one at that, so, I must look strange!I ran to the mirror and noticed how obvious it looked that I kissed someone. The smudge extended a lot of the right side of my lips and it looked quite prominent on my pale skin.A

Attraction and Guilt

>>Portia (Parisa)“Tell me something,” Jena asked, “Are you in debt?” I shook my head, “No,” We were walking to the club and today was going to be my day as a server.“So you’re just broke,” I nodded and she scoffed playfully, “So why come to work at this place?”“No other place would hire me because I have no ID.”“Ah~” She nodded, “Makes sense.” “But why though?” I asked, “Is it that big of an issue?”“It is,” She nodded, “Because you could be an illegal immigrant. You could be a spy, maybe even a criminal.” My chest tightened at her words.“Oh…” But it made sense, “I see,”“So you don’t even have a birth certificate with you?” The club was in view and we sped up our walking pace.“No,” I shook my head, “I’ve got nothing,”She chuckled, “Well then, there’s absolutely no chance any normal place would hire you.”Her words stung like lightning.“You’re a little too brutal with your words” I complained but she just chuckled in return.“Just telling you the truth.”Yea well, Jena does

Enemy

>>Portia (Parisa)“Hey,” The bartender, Nial waved at me, alerting me that I had to come back to reality.“Hi,” I waved back at him.“The boss told me about you.” He winked at me playfully“Oh?” I blinked at him in confusion, “What did he say?” I began to panic all over again. “Just that you’ll be helping ‘behind’ the counter,” He smiled at me, “First time he’s giving any woman this much favor.” He gestured with his head for me to come inside.My heart sank but I felt gleeful at the same time.The feeling was so queer that it jumbled up my brain. I love that Derek is so tender to me but everyone would notice and even I know this is wrong. I know they’ll all think ill of me if this keeps going but I can’t stop, I want him to be more attentive to me.“Maybe he’s just being nice since I’m new,” I didn’t meet Nial’s eyes because I knew I was lying. “Hmm~” He hummed but didn’t say anything to me after that. I went to stand inside the bar and started helping him out while the club began t

Beautiful yet out of reach

>>Egon“What is it?” Ulric tugged my shoulder while we sat in the lounge of his penthouse, “Hello?” He waved his hand in front of my face since I was spacing out, “Egon?”“No,” I shook my head as I snapped back to reality, “I-” I shrugged it off, “It’s nothing,”“Are you sure?” He asked with a frown and I knew he was suspicious.“Uh,” I paused, “I think,” I scratched the back of my neck, “I’m just getting a bad feeling.”“About what?”“Portia,” I looked out of the window at the night view. It’s a common thing between mates, being able to tell something is wrong.“How bad?” Ulrich stood, “Should we go to her?”He immediately stood up and was ready to leave when I grabbed his hand, “No,” And sat him back down on the couch, “I already risked it enough by meeting her alone and acting on my impulses.” That was very dangerous and stupid of me.Far more than one can think but it was also inevitable. I mean, how could I stop myself when I saw her like that?Pole dancing!?! Where’s her pride a

First time

>>Parisa (Portia)It was my first time drinking and I had no idea what to expect. I’ve seen many wolves drink in the pack and they all seemed fine so I have no idea why my head suddenly started getting a little dizzy.“It’s getting to your head.” Derek snickered and drank some fancy drink from his fancy glass while we both sat in his office on the two-seater couch. It was 3 am on a weekday so the club was now closed and almost everyone had gone home.“Why?” I looked at him and frowned.“Probably because it’s your first time drinking.” He finished the neon blue drink and placed it on the table and picked another glass with a pink drink from it.Another bartender was asked to make our drinks and Nial was given a short leave to recover. Derek asked me again if I had seen that man who attacked me anywhere before but I denied it because I truly hadn’t. I still have no clue why it all happened and I couldn’t really think about it either because my mind wasn’t working properly for some reaso

Another rejection

>>Portia (Parisa)The feeling was somehow very familiar. And the moment I saw and recognized Derek’s wife I knew I was going to go through hell again. Just seeing her made me feel bad, and so, what followed was obviously going to be worse.“Wait-” Derek raised his hands up in the air and glanced at me, “She-” He wasn’t sure what to say to her, “It’s not,” He kept stuttering, “It’s not what it looks like.” He looked at her and said firmly breaking my heart.I know full well, why he said those words, but it still hurt me.“Then what was that?” His wife stomped toward him with an angry disappointed look, “What was that!?” She slapped his chest in disgust, “I’m not blind!” She yelled, “I saw you kiss her!!”“That was a mistake-” He blurted it out immediately then paused at his own words yet he couldn’t bring himself to look at me. He stood there with his eyes wide and a troubled expression with his hands still in the air next to his chest while I stared at him in horror and agony.My hear

His return

>>PortiaI wonder if there’s anyone as miserable as I am.To be rejected by two people who were meant to be mine, would anyone be able to handle that? Because I seem to be breaking with every step I take.The night was silent and lifeless.I brought my fingers to my lips and the kiss we shared came back to my mind. It was such a tender and warm feeling. Such an amazing and cozy sensation that I didn’t think about the consequences at all.I looked up at the sky. It was a full moon tonight and I stopped and stared at it with a broken heart.“Why?” I asked the moon goddess, “Why do you hate me?” I whispered the words while tears welled up in my eyes. I continued to stare at the brightly shining circle in the dark sky, “I didn’t do anything wrong…” I sniffled and the tears started streaming down my cheeks, “Why curse me?” I sniffled once again which was followed by endless silence, “In your eyes, am I a mistake too?”…Right.I scoffed at myself.She wouldn’t answer me.I looked down in d

Disappointment

>>Portia I stood there dumbfounded.I had no idea what answer to give him.Should I even be getting money from someone who tried to kill me because I smelled like Egon? It clearly means he’s after Egon and wanted to kill me because he thought I meant something to him. Right? Because I don’t see another possible explanation.“Nothing,” I shook my head at him, “I don’t want your money.”“Are you sure?” He smirked, looking at me in amusement.I frowned.Am I sure? He made me rethink.I scratched my head as I thought about it.If he’s Egon’s enemy should I be worried? Egon already abandoned me, so even if I take his money it shouldn’t be a problem. It’s not like he’ll find out what Egon is to me and to be fair, Egon isn’t anything to me and he won’t be anything to me in the future either. He left me and I don’t see him coming back.“Um,” I shook my head, “No,”“So?” He folded his arms, “How much do you want?”HmmmI knitted my eyebrows together.“How much is a lot?” I asked a pretty inno
