- Knox ~

The music was loud, but not too loud that I couldn't hear what the peacock dick was saying to Red. Trying to self-invite himself back to hers, what a tool.

I feel my phone vibrating in my back pocket of my jeans, pulling it out to find Jaxon calling me.

"Yep?" I grunt, avoiding any pleasantries, he's just left me babysitting a group of drunk teenage girls, who so happen to be surrounded by horny males. Werwolf and human.

"I'm sorry Knox man, something's up with Jace. I'm taking him home...can you make sure the girls are safe. Especially Josie?" He sighs apologetically down the phone.

"I think she can look after herself." My eyes turn to her as she pushes George off her slightly, rolling her eyes as he tries to pull her back into him...her eyes catching me watching. "Just...make sure she gets home safe. Cleo as well, otherwise I'll have two alphas after me, Dad and Alpha Orpheus."

"Fine." I cut the call, placing my phone back in my jean pocket.

I hail down the bar tender, changing my shots now for soda as I prepare to sober myself up. This night having just gone south for me.

As I take a sip of my drink, a brunette walks up to the bar from the dance floor, she leans over the bar almost spilling out of her top.

"What's good to drink here?" She moves her head closer to mine to help me hear her, not that I need it.

""Not a regular?"

"No I'm visiting a friend, you?" If I couldn't have smelt already that she was human as she approached me, then her attempt at a chat up line told me everything I needed to know.

There were plenty of other bars in this city, ones run by humans...but they still come here. Must be something in their DNA that draws them in... an unknown danger that gives them secret thrills.

"Working." I respond, without enthusiasm. I've been with human girls and each time I'm left still wanting.

It's not their fault, I'm a werewolf male built to have a female werewolf satisfy me that's all. They have a different stamina for what I need.

"What do you do?" She tries to keep the flow of conversation going and a part of me is tempted to flirt back...especially with those silvery grey eyes watching us.

"Surveillance." I smirk out, my eyes holding Red's as I take another sip of my drink. The human girl follows my line of vision to the fiery red on the other side of the bar, before grabbing her drink and thankfully realising she didn't have a chance. "Well, have a good one." The human girl says to me as she picks up her drink and moves away from me back towards the dance floor.

"You too." I rise my glass to her watching her walk back towards the dance floor to her companions.

"Fine, if you won't dance with me...maybe another girl will?"

"Be my guest." I turn to find Red placing her hands out towards the room filled with primed females, not battering an eyelid as he follows through with his threat and walks towards the dance floor. Leaving her alone at the bar. What a dick.

I close the distance between us, her back resting against the bar top...watching him move in on a group of females. The human girl one of them. I'm watching Josie carefully, for a hint of a reaction...but she really does seem unbothered.

"You don't seem all that bothered of him flirting with other females?"

"Because I'm not."

"I thought he was your boyfriend?"

"No..."

"Then why do you let him hang around?"

I have itches at times, he scratches them, that's all." She shrugs, as if it was the most obvious thing.

Her comment doesn't go down well with my wolf, his fur threatening to bristle as he demands to shift. He could be somewhat irrational at times, like expecting me to grant him power in order to shift in front of humans and piss off a club full of werewolf security. In fact, as I glance around the décor of the club...this place seems familiar.

"Drink?" She turns signalling for the bartender as she sits back up on a bar stool.novelbin

"Shot?" She offers out to me as the bartender walks over to us.
