Watch The Movie Take The Lead Novels & Stories

Dinner went by slowly with a lot of talk about Vivian and her visit to the pack house. It was interesting to hear about it, because I knew nothing about their lives, and I wanted to know. I wanted to see Zander as their leader. Zander grabbed my hand when Vivian started to clean the table, and guided me toward the library. We had a couple of hours before sunset. He shut the door behind us, and pulled me over toward a laptop on the desk. “If you want to check your social media, or whatever you have, you can. I want you to know I trust you, Little One,” he said, tilting my chin back with his fingertips.

The make-up artist seemed excited to play. Leon didn't want to ruin the fun. "You guys can go first. I'll watch." "How could we play without you?" Monica looked at Dewey. Dewey immediately agreed, "Leon, as the lead actor, you have to join you. I'll need to record this for the behind-the-scenes reel." Leon had no excuse. Behind-the-scenes clips were standard for promotional content. The actor placed a bowl upside down on the table. "Let's begin. Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, why did some talentless hack get the lead in the other drama instead of me? It's not fair!"

I dropped into the chair across from him without bothering with pleasantries. "What's the lead?" I asked. "Where is she? Who took her?" "Calm down," he said, glancing up at me briefly before turning back to his screen. "Let me show you what I found first." I forced myself to sit still, watching as he pulled up a set of security footage, his fingers moving quickly across the keyboard, pausing occasionally to apply a bit of balm to his chapped lips before continuing. My patience was wearing thin with every passing second.
