The Luna Is Gone by Angelique Quinn

Chapter 108

In the evening, our convoy arrived at the Dark Moon Pack. Stepping onto this land again, my feelings were quite complex. Nora seemed to sense my unease, so after we settled our luggage at the hotel hosting the visiting dignitaries, she took me to a nearby bar.

“Diana, let’s have some drinks. Get drunk, and you can forget all your troubles!”

Nora tilted her head back, downing a whole cocktail, then grabbed my hand, pulling me onto the dance floor. Amidst the shifting colorful lights, we swayed our bodies to the energetic beat and music.

Gradually, it felt like I had indeed left all my unhappiness behind, with only the pulsating world and exhilarating music before me. Nora gave me a tug and shouted in my ear, “Diana, I need to use the restroom! Wait for me here!”

I waved my hand, taking a big sip of my drink. Although we claimed not to return until we were drunk, I had only ordered a low–alcohol fruit wine, considering the formal occasion tomorrow. I never thought this light wine would get me intoxicated.

As my body temperature rose unusually, my consciousness began to blur. I staggered towards a booth, wanting to take a break.

Someone grabbed my arm.

“Don’t go.” A strange voice echoed near my ear, with a hint of arrogance. “You’re really beautiful. Honestly, I haven’t seen anyone like you around here. Tonight, spend some quality time with me.

“Get lost!”

I shook my head, trying to free myself from the man’s grasp.

“Don’t bother wasting your energy. I’ve drugged your drink, and soon you’ll lose all your strength. Behave and listen to me, don’t make me angry.”

The man let out a sly, sinister laugh, tightened his grip around my waist, and led me out of the crowd towards the upstairs rooms.

Upon learning about the spiked drink, I surprisingly became calmer. Pretending to struggle a bit, I followed the man upstairs. Little did he know that, when he wasn’t paying attention, I had already taken a counteracting sobering agent.

Now all I had to do was wait quietly for the sobering agent to take effect. Ten minutes. At most ten minutes, the arm draped over my waist would be gruesomely severed!
