(Tiernan’s P.O.V)
After I left Siobhan in the woods to finish her meditation, I went back to the hotel and sat myself down at the bar. I needed a drink after how these last few days have played out, I wasn’t expecting her to be my mate. I wasn’t expecting her absolute disdain for the mate bond, and I know that the only reason why she mated with me, at first, was because of her heat. Our “hunt” had been an experiment to her, to see if it was something she would enjoy which is what BDSM is all about. Exploring your deepest desires in a safe and consensual way. I throw back my third glass of whiskey, knowing that human liquor won’t get me drunk until I’ve had at least ten more glasses, I wave to the bartender for another.
“This seat taken?” I hear a male voice ask.
I look over and it’s Anders, the vampire FBI agent that traveled here with Si.
“Sure, go ahead,” I murmur, taking my drink from the bartender.
“What’ll it be for you?” The bartender asks him.
