Novah
That had been a close one yesterday! My boss nearly found out my little secret. I am his mate. I did look out for him. But yesterday I literally had to save his ass. I had found that Dante was my mate over a year ago when I tracked his brother down in Alaska. Everyone knew my mate.
Dante Emery. The hottest hunk in Hollywood. Ironically Dante played a vampire on tv. When I knew he was really a wolf? He begged for the part of the wolf. But the director did not think Dante would make a good wolf.
It was funny really. A wolf playing the part of a vamp. He did a really good job of it to. It was a shoo in for next season. I had managed to get a job working along side my mate. So, he could get to know me. And I could keep watch on him. I did not want him to know I was his mate. Because I knew he planned on rejecting me.
Maybe if he really got to know me first, he would not be so quick to reject his mate. That was the only hope I had to hold onto. I had to get my mate to accept me before he found out that I was his mate. Risky business.
I was more or less a shifter really. I could change to a wolf form whenever I wanted to. My mate was a were. He could only change around midnight to his true glory. My day was running late. I tossed and turned all night.
When our eyes met during that save, I was sure Dante knew his mate was in town. Then I lost my glasses during the fight and he saw them. I was sure he had put two and two together. Thankfully he had not yet. He had no idea I was his mate. Yet. I glance over at the clock. I was running late. I had not heard my alarm go off. I yawn as I quickly get dressed for the day.
My phone rings. Dante.
♥☆♥
"Hello boss!" I answer on the third ring.
"Where are you Novah?" he complains.
"Sorry sir, I am running late. I will be there as soon as I can" I promise him. "I woke up late I did not hear the alarm this morning" I ramble nervously as I get my shoes on.
"Hurry up Novah. I need my coffee" he demands.
"Starbucks?" I answer.
"Yes" he grunts.
"Mocha latte?" I answer. "with cream?"
"Novah" he sighs.
"No cream right" I sigh. "sorry boss"
"Just hurry up" he demands.
"I am sir. I swear. Do you want something to eat?" I ask.
"Sure, surprise me" he says before we hang up.
I rush out the door as fast as I could. I hop in my car then speed into downtown Hollywood. The day was bright and sunny. The palm trees blew in the breeze on the hot day. Thankfully there was not too much traffic it seemed to flow nicely.
I pull off to my exit then stop in at Starbucks. I get my boss his order then get something for myself. I pull in the Hollywood lot as soon as I could get there. I grab my purse my phone and the food then lock my car door as I bolt to Dante's side as fast as I could.
"Here boss" I say as I make my way to his seat as he waited to act that morning.
"Thanks Novah" he says as I hand him his food. He looked as handsome as ever.
♥☆♥
Somedays I could not believe he was my mate. Mine. His scent could nearly take me over get me love drunk as one might say. When a wolf found their mate they would be together forever. We were paired by the fates. No matter what we would end up together. I was thrilled I even had a mate. Someone who would some day love me.
"Novah?"
"Sorry boss did you say something?" I stammer.
Back to earth Novah...
"Did you grab me something to eat? I am starving" he asks me.
"Oh yes sir I did" I tell him. I get him a cheese danish. I hand it to him.
"Thank you Novah" he says as he reads his script while he eats.
"You are welcome sir. Are you okay? You know from last night?" I ask curiously.
His eyes meet mine. They lock on me suddenly. Making my heart race. I see that flick of gold in his brown eyes. He looked so serious. I push my glasses up. I wore heavy perfume today to try to make sure my scent was not noticeable to him. Otherwise he was going to know his mate was in town.
If he did not know already...

"Odd thing on the security footage there was someone else there stopping the attack last night. Did you see anything when you were there Novah?" he questions me while he takes a sip of his coffee.
"Me? Did I? See anything?" I stammer nervously. "Oh no by the time I got there they were gone" I lie. "I did not see a thing" I say.
I notice Dante had a slight bruise on his left wrist where he had been pushed into the car last night. I gasp as I touch his arm. "You got hurt" I tell him.
"I am fine" he scoffs as he pushes me away a bit. He looked shy about that.
"Are you sure?" I ask softly. "That had to be scary to be attacked like that" I mention to him.
"I was saved by someone they were sure looking out for me" he says.
"I guess they were" I answer with a smile.
Soon they get to work. I watch Dante in action. He really was an amazing actor. I loved to watch him at work. That costar he had to save often the love interest Jessica Mist was so bad. The director had it bad for Jessica so she was hired.
I could tell Dante did not really care to work alongside such a bimbo like Jessica. Before long we were going into lunch time. Dante often could eat there on the set with all of us. But he always asked me to go get him something off set.
"Novah?" he calls to me right around noon.
"Yes sir?" I answer him as I make my way to his side.
He had on a simple navy blue shirt and a leather black jacket on. With tight blue jeans. His dark black hair was spiked perfectly on top of his head.
♥☆♥
"Can you please get me lunch somewhere. Over at Red Robin? I am dying for a burger. Or In And Out" he mentions.
I nod. "Sure sir. I can do that for you" I reply.
I take down his order then am soon on the road again. He thankfully did not seem to know that I was his mate. Yet. I came close to getting caught rescuing him yesterday. I could not let anything happen to him.
After all he could not change until midnight he would have been helpless there. I was glad I helped my mate. I get him lunch and myself some lunch. Then go on my way back to the movie set. My phone rings. There was a call from some unlisted number. From Alaska.
"Hello?" I answer. I had a feeling I knew who it was.
"Novah?"
"Carter?" I answer.
Dante's brother.
"Did my brother find out you are his mate? Have you told him?" he demands to know.
"I told you Carter I need more time" I warn him.
"My brother is foolish. He needs no time. We have no time. You know our tribe is dying fast" he warns me. "you mating with him depends on our fate. We need a new pack"
"I know this. And I will tell Dante. But if I let him know who I am now then he will reject me" I warn him. "all this will be a loss for us all" I warn him. "let me deal with my mate"
"Fine. But if you do not tell Dante soon, I will come there" he warns me.
"Please, I don't want to lose my mate" I beg.
"You won't" he adds.
"I want my mate to love me. I won't have a mate who rejects me" I warn him.
"You will both do as we need to. You both are childish" he snaps before he hangs up on me. I feel my hands shake.
I wanted a mate who loved me. I had a mate who was ready to reject me. If a mate rejected, you then you might as well be dead. Because a broken heart was going to kill me off. And it there was nothing I could do about that.
