CHAPTER 10

“I’m hired?”

“Yes, Ms. DeMarco, you are hired,” the striking blonde woman said as she stood up from behind a massive wooden desk piled high with papers and an open laptop.

The place was certainly unconventional, but from what she’d read about it online, they did great work. Cassie squeaked and jumped up out of her chair eager to shake hands with her new boss.

She’d never been one to contain her emotions, part of why she’d always loved music. Singing and acting had been her solace in high school and college, especially when that little sixth sense of hers went a little bit nuts.

Magic and the unexplainable were certainly everywhere. Cassie knew this even as she shook hands with the gorgeous she-Wolf. She was glad she’d learned to control or at least, hide that part of herself. Supernaturals had rules about who was permitted to know of their existence.

“You seem familiar to me, Cassie, I read your resume last night and you’ve been in a few shows on and off Broadway, is that correct?” Cat said as she strolled with her through the hallways to show her the music/drama room.

“Oh, well, yes, but no major roles or anything,” she said with more than a little embarrassment.

Cassie had wanted so badly to succeed on Broadway. She understood now that that kind of lightning struck rarely, and she simply wasn’t one of those few destined for stardom.

Still, she was happy for her experiences there, and that ache that she’d had a few days ago was lessened somehow. She was exactly where she was supposed to be now. She fully believed that.

She smiled at Cat as she told her a few of the shows she’d been involved in and shared some of her experiences in New York. She couldn’t believe how light she felt talking about what had almost broken her heart days ago!

She knew now that it simply wasn’t meant to be. Maybe the Fates had something else in store for her. Something involving a certain wolfy doctor…

For a second, she wondered why it had taken her so long to realize the truth.

New York wasn’t for her. Perhaps if she hadn’t also been involved with Mark, the director of the last couple of shows she’d been involved in, she’d have seen it sooner.

Never one to quit, she had allowed herself to grow complacent. She was fine with him stringing her along, feeding his own ego, until he’d moved on to greener pastures.

But it didn’t hurt so much now. In fact, she was almost glad for it. She nodded and listened while Cat continued to escort her through the rather large, multi-level building where the Macconwood-Nighthawk Teen Outreach Center was situated.

“Here we are,” Cat said with a flourish and opened the doors to an auditorium complete with curtained stage, spotlights, stadium seating, and a band section.

“Wow! This is amazing! I can still smell the paint!”

“Yes, we received a rather large donation from a local benefactor to build this space for our more artistically inclined members.
