Not just the Beta (Oriana and Slade) novel Chapter 99

Ana

It was snowing gently outside, and they were all having breakfast while waiting for it to stop, just sitting around chatting about nothing in particular. Well, Zara and Londyn were discussing the upcoming shoot. Those two like being in the modelling industry quite a bit.

She could see it easily because the two girls were happy and excited, and when the day came, she and Maddie sat with Ocean, who was on her lap. They watched as not only Zara but two other models were being directed in what to do, and Zara was getting along well with one of the models, Hillary.

Someone she’d seen and worked with before, but hadn’t come across in nearly a year, they were chatting between changes of clothing and accessories where it was permitted. The other model a woman or wolf named Carina. She was from what Ana could smell, a Luna ranked wolf, mated to an Alpha, but had Beta blood.

And that Luna thought that she was better than everyone else here at the shoot, was out there lording herself over everyone here, and it was really starting to annoy Londyn, who’d gotten up twice now only to have both her and Maddie latch onto her and stop her from going over there.

Though this particular time, Londyn didn’t care and couldn’t be held back, she did not care at all who or what status that she-wolf was or which pack she came from. Her Alpha blood, it appeared, was hot and boiling over.

The moment that Carina walked passed Zara and gave her a shove, then faked a sarcastic apology of “Oh, I’m so sorry.” As Zara stumbled and nearly fell, had used her wolfen strength on a human to get her out of the way. That had been it for Londyn, there would be no containing her anymore.

Londyn had marched herself right over there on to the set itself, and put herself in front of that Luna, stared right at her “You touch my client again.” Londyn had snapped at her “I’ll have you charged with assault.”

Carina had looked her over and stated, “Like you can afford that!” then had laughed “Do you not know who my husband is?”

“No.” had come out of Londyn “and I honestly don’t care who he is. I have been filming all your insults and rude behaviour. What you’re doing on and off this set,” Londyn had stated uncaringly.

Then she glared at the two warriors that had stepped over to her, “I’m not afraid of either of you.”

she’d told them, stood staring directly at them unfazed at all for a solid minute before turning and walking over to the director of the shoot to have words with him, about pulling that ‘nasty woman’ into line.

They had been her exact words to ‘nasty woman.’ She’d then checked on Zara as a manager would do, before coming back to sit down, then looked at them both and stated calmly, quietly as though under her breath, but knowing that not only would that Luna over there hear her, so would those warriors as well.

“What kind of dumbass would marry a self-centered bitch like that? She can’t even model.”

Maddie had snorted full amused, and Londyn had stated just as quietly, “Just a pretty face is all, he probably likes looking at her when he fucks her is all.”

Ana had leaned over and hit her. “Shush, Ocean’s right here.” Admonishing her for the swear not the insult to that Luna. Who was now standing there staring hard at Londyn, though all three of them were sitting quite far back, a normal human wouldn’t have heard them from way over there on the set.

“I should post it for all to see.” Londyn had snickered. “Teach her a lesson.”

“Get that footage.” Carina had snapped and turned to look at one of her women pointedly, it was clear from Londyn’s words that she was going to put her despicable behaviour out there for the public to see.

The three of them watched that she-wolf walk towards them and Londyn leaned back in her chair and stared up at that warrior “I might look young to you, and you might think I’ll be a push over, but don’t mistake how I look for any of that.” She smiled at that warrior “I’ve been doing this for years, and dealing with bullies in this industry is just fun for me, I quite like it.” she smiled merrily.

“The footage, I’ll take that.” She was told.

“No, I think not. But seeing as she’s demanding for it not be seen, and sent someone else to get it for her, hasn’t apologised or.” She tilted her head to look at that model. “Looks like she will. Is a stuck up entitle pretty face is all with…her husband paving her way I guess. I’m going to post it on my social media, for all to see.” Then she was just tapping away on her phone.

That she-wolf reached out to snatch the phone from her and Londyn moved it away, quick as a flash out of her reach, like the she-wolf had used her wolfen speed on that. “Oh, you might want to think twice.” Londyn smirked at her shocked expression.

Then Londyn turned her eyes to Maddie and herself, looked pointedly at Zara, or as they knew her, Sara White. “Which one do you think will step up to you…from what I see…smell.” she shrugged ”

You’ll not win it against any of us.”

Ana sighed internally as that she-wolf looked at them all now with full curiosity. “Pick one, hell, bring your, what…stuck up model’s husband here and let’s see who wins. Who will payout who for the insult? I got me plenty of evidence to put her and him in a bad light, if he wants to pick a fight. Do you really think he’ll risk it, his company…, to oh, an unknown like me…do you?”

“Londyn, stop playing with her “Ana stated. “We’ll not be handing over the footage. It’s a modelling shoot in a public domain area, anyone is free to take pictures, especially the models’ agent.” She waved a hand at Londyn herself. “If your model can’t contain herself and pull her attitude into line, be the professional she’s supposed to be, that is not our problem.” She actually did know how to play this game, Londyn was just pulling on all her alpha bloodline without realising it. Asserting herself, she liked that no one knew what she was, and shocking them with the truth, it seemed.

“Ah.” Maddie stated, “She’s married to a Mr Parker Hartly… Wow, check out his net worth.” She turned her phone to show Ana and then Londyn.

“Who are you?” that she-wolf asked.

“Well, I’m the one Mr Hartly will deal with.” Londyn stated “Maddison here will be the one that takes his money, when we decide what the footage is worth to him. Sara over there will be the one to accept the apology he will make his wife give, when I demand it from him. Ana there she’s the one to keep me in line, so to speak.”

“That is enough, Londyn,” Ana murmured.

“Mm, when Sara gets a proper heartfelt apology it will be enough.” She looked at Ana. “Normally we don’t have this much Ouble, most like her would know better and stay away from me and my model.”

‘Mm, he didn’t know that it was me, but paid me not to post that footage we had last time of her yelling at a prop’s person, demanding to know why the other models were getting the better pick of props. We got 10 grand out of him. Kind of how we survive sometimes. That Luna up there is not worth the title she holds, or that’s what Zara tells me.’

Ana huffed a little but said nothing. She didn’t exactly know how Londyn and Zara had really survived out here on their own for two solid years other than part-time jobs and modelling, though for the rest of that shoot Carina left Zara alone, wouldn’t even look at her unless she had to.

Though as things were being packed up, that Luna walked over to Londyn, who smiled right at her

“May I help you?” she asked nicely and Zara snorted, amused; this was clearly their normal.

“Parker does not need to be informed, I was just having a bad day, and unfortunately bumped into your…model.”

“And?” Londyn stated simply.

“It won’t happen again.” Carina stated right back.

“And?” Londyn asked her pointedly now.

“And that’s it.”

“Alright…Sara?”

“It’s up to you boss,” Zara stated simply.

“Mm, it is.” Londyn nodded “Come girls.” She turned and walked away from that Luna.

“I said it won’t happen again,” Carina called out angrily.

“You did.” Londyn called back cheerily, “but my company takes insult to your lack of manners and apology. Your company will hear from mine in short order. Have a nice day, Carina.”
