Scarlett
We could not risk the lives of our people because someone tried to touch our mate or looked at her wrongly.
Soon wine was served, and Scarlett excused herself. There was something off about the wine. As Scarlett left, I tried to link her but could not connect with her. Trusting that she was okay because I knew no one dared attack her, I continued with the party.
"Is it just me, or is something wrong with this drink?" Clay said, and I was glad I wasn't the only person that felt strange.
"Maxwell, how do you feel?" I asked, almost slurring my word, and he shook his head.
