“I think I’ll go get a drink,” Dario said, removing a small leather case from inside the console. He lifted the flap and took out a small injector. The vial was filled with a special drug that was made to knock out wolves. It worked instantly. She’d be asleep before she even realized she’d been injected.

Moris snorted. “You’re not going to fuck her, are you? I don’t want to be waiting that long.”

“Nah. Just be ready when I give the signal.”

It might be fun to fuck her later, though. When she was under the thrall of their new mating drug.

While Lucian watched, of course.

Mia cringed at the loud music as she walked into Poke’s. Giving herself a moment to get used to it, she looked around the bar and found it about half-full, as she’d expected. There were a few stools open at the bar, and Luke was filling orders.

She sat down on one of the padded leather stools and rested her forearms on the highly polished wood.

“Hey stranger,” Luke said as he stopped in front of her and placed a white, square napkin on the counter. “Are you waiting for someone?”

“No. I’m…trying something new.”

Luke raised a brow. “Everything okay?”

“Sure,” Mia said. “Bring me something sweet and girly.”

He chuckled and walked to the mirrored wall behind the bar to pull down a bottle of vodka. He filled a glass tumbler with ice, poured a shot over the cubes, and then added a pink liquid from a decanter. He set the drink in front of her and floated a few strawberry slices on the surface.

“It’s definitely girly,” she said with a smile.

“It’s pink lemonade and vodka,” he said, leaning on the counter. “Eveny can’t drink right now because of the baby, but she’s been researching new drinks for the bar. Pretty much anything pink is right up her alley.”

She took a sip and smiled. “It’s really good, thanks.”

He nodded and walked to the other side of the bar to fill an order. She nursed the drink for a while, then turned in her stool and bumped into a male standing behind her.

“Sorry,” she said. “I didn’t know anyone was there.”

“No worries,” he said with a smile.

He was handsome, with long, jet-black hair and dark brown eyes. He wore a leather jacket over a fitted black tee. She inhaled silently, and smelled only cologne.

Human.

She swung the stool back around and he leaned on the counter next to her, signaling to Luke, who moved over and set a napkin in front of him.

“Beer, and another refill for this pretty lady.”

“Thanks,” Mia said, “but I’m just having this one.”

Luke opened a beer and set it in front of the male, glanced at Mia questioningly, and then moved away after she nodded she was okay.

“Only one drink? I’m guessing you’re either driving home or not much of a drinker.”

She chuckled. “A little of both.”

“I’m Dario.”

“Mia.”

”If I can say this without it sounding like a line, do you come here often?”
