“You’re going to have to be a bit more specific,” he said, stepping closer to me again. “There is an incubus bar about three blocks down from here. I’m heading there now and looking for a date to share a room with toni—”
I smacked him. “I’ll never be your date after what you did to me, and I have no interest in any incubus bars. I’m looking for Maxine. She works at the pub where all the different creatures hang out. Some demons frequent there, like … I think his name is Xorgor.”
“Xorgor,” Jaroth repeated, his lips curling in an ugly grimace. “You’re looking for the Dead Candle Tavern. It’s right across the street, about five buildings down. You should see if you can—”
Instead of listening to another moment of his annoying voice ramble on and on, I hurried across the street and five buildings down, leaving Jaroth where I had met him. I didn’t have any interest in him anymore, and I was still salty as fuck about what he had done to me.
The girl he had slept with was one of my best friends back at my father’s estate.
Emphasis onwas.
After taking a deep breath, I grasped the wooden door handle and walked into the raging tavern, filled with creatures and monsters of all types, even those species that lived just outside of the town and in the forest with the wolves. I walked through the groups of people and sped toward the counter, where Maxine worked.
She filled two tall glasses to the top with Midnight Moon drinks and handed them to two female succubi, who then wandered off to a table of vampires. I hurried to the bar and slid onto the only empty seat, staring Maxine down until she spotted me.
Once she finished with a couple more customers, she poured me a glass and slid it across the table. “Oh gods, you look like you haven’t slept a wink in the past twenty-four hours. What the hell happened to you after the party?”
“They want me pregnant!” I said, unable to stop myself. “That’s absurd, right?”
“What?!” Maxine said. “Who wants you pregnant?”
I glanced around the bar to make sure nobody was listening, then leaned forward. “You know … the four wolves—Calder, Thayer, Darius, and Gaian. But especially Calder. Thayer said that he wants me filled with his pups the most, and I mean, I—”
“Girl,” Maxine said, resting her hands on my shoulders, “slow down.”
All I wanted was for her to tell me that it was weird, that it wasn’t normal in the slightest, that I shouldn’twantto be bred by them. They were wolves for crying out loud, and I was a mere human.
“Sounds like you’re their mate,” she said.
“Yeah, but, Maxine,pregnant?!” I asked, shaking my head. She wasn’t helping. “They’ve all changed so much—except Gaian really—but I have barely seen them for two days. How could they want to … to …” I swallowed hard, thinking that—scratch that,knowing—this was so wrong. “How could they want to breed me?”
The words came out so softly that Maxine didn’t hear them—or at least, I hoped that she hadn’t. It was so embarrassing to say those words out loud. I had suppressed the thought and fantasy for so long, especially while living at Dad’s estate.
If my best friend said it was wrong, then ithadto be wrong.
Still, whatever she said about it wouldn’t change the way I felt when Thayer asked if I wanted to be bred again, when Calder or Darius thrust his cock deep in my pussy and forced me to take every last drop of his cum, when my breasts swelled from a baby growing inside me and Gaian became even more of a freak about them and about me.
“To what?” Maxine asked.
“To …” I started, but I couldn’t force myself to say the word again. Instead, I sipped the Midnight Moon until there was nothing left. I slammed the empty glass on the bar and sank down on the barstool, dragging a hand across my face. “I don’t know what to do.”
“Well, you’d better think quickly,” Maxine said.
“Why?”
“Because the four big bad wolves just walked in behind you.”

“You’re lying,”I whispered to Maxine, my entire body tense. “They’re not here.”
By the mere amused expression on her face, I could tell she wasn’t lying. They were probably scanning the pub at this very moment, catching me sitting at the counter with two guys on either side of me who kept looking over at me, before barreling toward us.
“Save me.” I leaned across the counter and grabbed her forearms. “Please, hide me.”
