She poked the recording with her fingertip. She smiled at Antonio. “I didn’t quit. I was fired.”
Achilles asked softly, “What is his name?”
Antonio answered, “William Gearth. He’s usually good around betas.”
Achilles snorted. He whispered, “Show them.”
She gave him a dark look, and then she grew to her full height, her skin turned ivory-gold, and her hair waved down her back to mid-thigh. Her jeans and tee stretched but just flashed some midriff.
Olivia stared. “You are an Elite concubine?”
Achilles chuckled. “She is an Elite omega. I am one of the others that the Elite keep confined, as is Dante. She escaped when she was fifteen, and we mated when she was twenty-two. We have not lived together until this week due to PTSD on her part.”
“Right. So, I am as much a beta as you are.” She looked at Antonio.
He smiled. “When you say it looking like that, I believe you.” He turned to Achilles. “You are also not what you seem.”
Achilles grew twelve inches and widened six. His skin went to its glorious midnight, and his eyes went from brown to red. His white hair hung below his shoulders, and a thin little braid came forward.
She felt a bolt of lust at that small braid. She had one, and Dante had one. Bites didn’t stay on their skin. They had tried. The braid was locked and had a bit of each of their blood in it.
He looked at her and smiled. He lifted her hand to his lips. “You look gorgeous, golden star.”
“Still not completely there, but I am happy with what my shirt can put up with.” She smiled.
He pulled her toward him, and Keres looked at Antonio. Keres smiled. “So, as you heard, I was fired by my direct supervisor. I will sign a usage waiver for Ford and the company to use the song for the Women’s Day video.”
Jax shook his head. “What about the other songs?”
She blinked. “What other songs?”
Ford cleared his throat. “They wanted a few from your jam sessions.”
“Oh, the random songs.”
“Correct. They were focused and grouped, and your voice was the one players wanted in their ear while playing the game.”
“Well, that’s unfortunate. I don’t work for the company anymore. HR hasn’t gotten back to me yet, but they confirmed that William said I quit. I corrected that with the snippet from the recording. I am just waiting for my final cheque.” She met Antonio’s gaze. “The song for the video with Renner in it is yours; anything else you don’t have the rights for.”
Antonio frowned, and Keres stared at the dire wolf. Dell touched his arm. “What’s going on?”
Antonio said quietly, “Keres is very powerful. The wolf can’t intimidate her.”
“Why would you want to intimidate me? I reported William to HR three times and was told to stop wearing skirts.”
Antonio winced. “I will talk to them.”
“Do or don’t, it no longer concerns me.” She shrugged. “I have already gotten my resume out there. Two responses so far.”
Dell grinned. “She is very good at what she does.”
Antonio groaned. “I know. Can you give me a few minutes?”
Jax nodded and said, “I will write up clearance for the single song. The rest can be dealt with later.”
Ford was still staring at Achilles. “I don’t suppose you would want to be in a video, would you?”
Achilles shook his head. “No. It’s not something I am interested in.”
