Strings of Fate

211- Building and bonding

Everyone frantically looks around the room until we realise that Harry isn’t here. We’re all sharing near identical looks of alarm except for Alpha Kohen and Marie but I assume that’s because they don’t know Harry well enough to understand why we are all so concerned. Where did he get to and what is he doing? I love him but he should not be left unsupervised at a party. Something catches my attention. Why does Cam look so guilty?

“Cam… do you know something that you want to mention?” I ask suspiciously. She shrugs.

“I mean, it’s no big deal. I just thought that I would test a new drink on him. One that is designed to have more of a kick when used on Incubi.

I didn’t think it would be a problem here…” She trails off, clearly double thinking her decision.

“So you’re saying Harry isn’t just missing, he’s drunk and missing.” I confirm.

“RYANN!!! I MISSED YOU, COME HERE.” He moves way faster than someone as clearly inebriated as he is should be able to, and throws himself at me, nearly knocking me over with his taller frame. He crushes me to his chest, half suffocating me in a hug.

“Harry… I can’t… breathe.” I force out. He lets me go enough that I can breathe but doesn’t

release me. Bellamy follows me to the living room and calls the others to let them know that

He announces gleefully. True to his word, the TV is turned to a kids channel and some show about imaginary friends is playing. Huh, that’s actually fairly harmless. Drunk Harry isn’t as bad as I thought. Honestly, he’s really not all that different to usual. I suppose reduced inhibitions don’t make a lot of difference for someone who isn’t all that inhibited usually. Cam joins
