Strings of Fate

Cam 13- Dinner and delight

Not long later, I am invited to a big dinner party at the Alpha’s home with all their friends

and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I don’t think I have ever been invited to a dinner party

before. I end up a little nervous, so when I ask Cora if she wants to swap shifts with me so

that I can go, I ask for her advice.

“Is there anything special I need to do for the party?” I ask. Cora smiles.

“Most people bring a dish or a desert to share. Or an alcoholic drink so I would advise you to go down that route. Do you know what they like?” She asks. I nod eagerly.

“I think so! And I have a few ideas for special drinks for them too.” I run to my workroom to mix up the special drinks. I create more of the catnip infused booze I fed to Bellamy last time, but I halve the strength. He should at least be able to finish a full drink before becoming so relaxed that he starts groping his girlfriend in front of all their guests. I also include a drink that I designed for Harrison. I’ve noticed that he doesn’t get drunk easily so I’ve designed a stronger drink for him. Actually, I made it weeks ago but I wasn’t willing to

give it to him in my bar since public intoxication is frowned on and kind of dangerous. But in a private home surrounded by friends? This might be the perfect chance to test out my

creation.

The evening is going really well and all the guests seem really nice. Even Harrison has been on his best behaviour. After dinner though we notice that some of the Shifters are acting strange and Ryann realises that they must have found the drinks I bought, although I hadn’t intended to give them out until after dinner when I could be sure that no one was drinking. on an empty stomach. Oops. Even more concerning is when we realise that Harrison is nowhere to be seen and neither is the bottle of booze I designed especially for him. Shoot. After a brief search, Ryann finds him and from the raised voices I am fairly certain that he

drank the alcohol I left out. I make my way towards the noise..

“Hey, did the drink work? Is he drunk? I am sorry about it but I still should take notes.” I comment cheerfully. I don’t really feel all that bad about it. I mean, he’s drunk and having fun at a party with his best friends. He didn’t drink an entire bottle of alcohol with the intention of staying sober. He might have gotten drunk faster than planned but I doubt he minds. He seems to be enjoying himself as he hangs off of Ayann who I can see is doing her

best not to crumble under his weight.
