“What are we talking about?” He asks.

“Just that Anna has been down lately, and we all know it. If we make tonight super fun, hopefully she cheers up,” Kiran explains.

“Ya, she’s been through a lot and there’s only so much we can do. Trying to live like she used to will help,” Jay agrees.

I hope so. I hate seeing my best friend struggling.

When I finish getting dressed, Kiran lifts my foot into his lap and runs a finger up my leg.

“These heels are very sexy,” he says.

I can feel goosebumps break out on my legs. Jay leans forward and kisses my thigh. I think it’s about to get sexy but a voice in my head interrupts us.

Anna is about to leave without us.Jeremy says.

I pull my foot away. “Later.”

The three of us head downstairs to see everyone else ready in the living room.

“Finally! Let’s go!” Anna says, she turns and heads right out the front door.

“She’s eager,” Nic says and follows her out.

We are walking distance to the bars and Anna books it there in her heels.

When she heads right to Fieldhouse I smile, this is the bar I met the guys in. I had no idea my life was changing that night.

Jax nudges me and I know he’s thinking the same thing.

It’s packed but Anna heads right to the bouncer, says hi, and he waves us all in. Do her charms just work that well even when she isn’t herself?

We get inside and even with their disguises on, people are drawn to my guys. Everyone is waving or saying hi, it’s a lot of attention. I’m glad hunters don’t have that affect on people.

Jeremy pushes right through the people, Jax pretends he doesn’t see it, Nic is polite and Jay and Kiran smile back. It’s so them.

Anna heads right to the bar and I know she’s ordering drinks, probably shots. I follow quick behind her.

I’m glad Nic made the charms so we can still see each other through the disguise. Although, it’s weird having no idea what I look like to everyone else here.

Anna has a row of shots lined up by the time I get to the counter and join her. Jay and Kiran are close behind me and grab theirs, ready to go. Jax rolls his eyes but grabs one.

Jeremy and Nic evaluate the room before deciding, when they hesitate Anna calls them out.

“We are here to have fun! It’s fine, it’s just one.”

They pick theirs up and throw them back. I know they weren’t swayed by Anna but decided it was safe enough. I’ll let Anna think it was her. It’s human alcohol so it’s not like it’ll really affect them.

Of course, one turns into four but I’m barely feeling it. I know being a supernatural increases my tolerance but I wish it didn’t. I wonder how Anna is adjusting to it?

I sidle up to her and ask, “you doing good girl?”

“I miss getting drunk,” she says with a pout.

“You’ll get there, you just need to drink more. It’s fun! Plus, no hangover! I was so jealous of the guys for that.”

She actually gives me a real smile for that. “You’re right! Let’s dance!”

She pulls me toward the dance floor and pushes her way to the middle. The guys stay back but I know they still have eyes on us. Anna and I dance and move like we used to and it feels incredible.
