nest, she put on a little lipstick and brushed her rippling hair before she entered the bar. It was marked by a blinking neon sign formed in a white circle—representing the moon, if you had a lot of imagination.
“Tacky,” Dahlia muttered. She read the notice taped to the door: Closed tonight for private party. Because she was a little anxious about entering a Werewolf-infested bar, she stood a little straighter on her spike heels—which brought her height all the way up to five foot one—held her head proudly, tucked her tiny flat purse under her bare arm, and marched inside, her haughtiest expression fixed on her heart-shaped face.
A chorus of so-called wolf whistles met her entrance. Of course, in their wolf forms, these guys couldn’t whistle for diddly-squat; but they managed just fine in their human guise. Dahlia pretended to be deaf as she scanned the tiny bar for Taffy.
Really, you can’t expect any better, she told herself. After all, true Weres were generally guys and gals with a keen interest in motorcycles and monster trucks. All the Weres in this bar were pure Weres, with two full-blooded parents. (Even Taffy wouldn’t expose her friends to mongrels.)
Dahlia couldn’t spy Taffy among the people, mostly male, crowding the bar, so she began to make her way to the only doorway not marked: Restroom.
A very tall and very athletically built male stepped in front of her. “Sorry, lady, this bar is closed tonight for a private party.”
“Yes, I read the sign on the door.”
“Then you’re pretty slow taking a hint.”
Dahlia looked up (and up) at the bright blue eyes in the broad face. This Were had thick, curling brown hair pulled back into a ponytail, and he was clean-shaven. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a bit to her surprise, and a tight T-shirt and jeans … the jeans, now that she came to take a look, were pretty damn tight, too. And boots. He had on big boots.
Dahlia shook herself (mentally, of course). The rude jerk was waiting for her reply. “I am here seeking my friend Taffy,” she said coldly, meeting his eyes squarely.
They stood stock-still for a long minute.
“A vamp,” he said, loathing replacing the admiration in his voice. “Damn, I knew we shoulda put some new lightbulbs in this place. Then I woulda noticed how pale you are. What do you want with Taff? You gonna try to talk her out of marrying Don, too?”
If it was possible to get any stiffer, Dahlia did. “I am going to … actually, what I want with Taffy is none of your business, Were. I require an audience with her.” Dahlia was so rattled by the Were’s anger that she became colder and stiffer and caught herself reverting to former speech patterns.
“Oh yeah, and we’re supposed to bow and scrape for the little madam?” he said. “You should get that stick out of your ass and behave more like Taffy. She doesn’t act so snooty and superior. After all, what you got on us? We live longer than humans, and we’re stronger than humans, and we can do all kinds of things that humans can’t do.”
“Excuse me,” Dahlia said frigidly. “I am so not interested.”
“I’ll show you interested,” the huge monster growled, reaching down as if he was actually going to pick Dahlia up and give her a shake. The next instant, he was looking up at her from the floor and his friends had leaped to their feet, their eyes glowing. Snarls issued from several male throats and one or two female ones.
“No,” called the man from the floor, just as Dahlia prepared to free her hands for fighting by tucking her tiny evening purse into the gartered top of her hose (a process that distracted the males for a few long seconds), “she’s in the right, guys.”
“What?” asked a blond man built like a fire hydrant. “You gonna let a vamp get away with putting you on the floor?”
“Yeah, Richie,” said the man, getting up. “She did it fair and square after I provoked her.”
The rest of the Weres seemed disconcerted, but they backed away a foot or two. Dahlia felt a mixture of relief and regret. Her fangs had extended as she readied to fight, and she would have enjoyed relieving the tension by ripping off a few limbs.
“Come on, little highness,” Brown Ponytail said. “I’ll take you to Taffy.”
She nodded curtly. He turned to lead the way, and she followed right behind him. The crowd parted along the
