Strings of Fate

Cam 4–Dosed and docile

-A couple have just arrived and while Alpha Kane is exactly what I expected from Ella’s

descriptions, his mate is not. Mostly because she isn’t even a Shifter. But there’s no doubt in my mind that they’re together. The way his eyes follow her and how comfortably mindful of him she is make it obvious. I am surprised to find that The Alphas are actually Harrison’s friends that he came in with the other night. I didn’t realise that he kept such respectable company. I watch as they sit at the bar and take the chance to make them a couple of drinks. I have to change my plan since I had picked in advance with Shifters in mind, but that’s alright. I pick a fairly weak drink for Ryann since I don’t know much about what she is. I DO still make the golden magically infused catnip drink for Alpha Kane though. I’ve been wanting to test this one and it should be harmless enough. It’s designed to just help a Shifter relax a little. Really it just does what alcohol is meant to do but faster than it usually would for a Shifter. I place the drinks in front of the pair of them careful not to spill.

“Ryann right?” She holds her drink up to the light and watches the mica powder swirl. That’s my favourite part, it’s why I chose the drink for her.

“Yeah, and this is Bellamy. Are you who I’m here to see?” She confirms and I nod. Would it be rude to ask how she can be an Alpha for Feline Shifters? Probably… but screw–it. They’re here asking me a favour and I’m sure I won’t be the first or last person to ask this question..

“Yep. I am a little confused though. Ella told me that she was sending the two feline Alphas to meet me. Him I get. But you’re not even a Shifter, are you?” I ask with a raised eyebrow. Ryann looks a little uncomfortable and shrugs then rolls her eyes as she answers with an

attitude that I respect,

“It doesn’t seem to matter. APPARENTLY being a Shifter isn’t actually a requirement for the position.” Well that’s just plain weird, but I respect the accepting attitude. I remind her that drinks are made for… well… drinking. Mostly because I want her mate to try his so I can see how well it works, but I’m not brave enough to tell him to try it. But I suspect he will follow

her lead.

“Are you gonna try that?” She might be suspicious of me if she’s heard of the weird concoctions I’ve been feeding her Incubus friend, but I wouldn’t do that to her. I actually LIKE her. Bellamy maintains his serious demeanour but does take a sip of his drink. I watch in satisfaction as a look of pleased shock crosses his face and he immediately takes another

I throw out the excuse like it justifies it but it really doesn’t. I feel bad. I didn’t mean to full on drug him. The drink was designed to just take the edge off. Where did I go wrong? Too much magic? Did I overestimate the effect a Shifter metabolism will have? Or maybe my understanding
