He took out some cash and placed it on the bar.
“I have money; you don’t have to pay,”
I said, reaching into my handbag. He waved my offering away. “I invited you here; it’s my treat.”
I frowned, putting my money away.
“Why are you being so nice to me all of sudden?”
He glanced down at me, narrowing his eyes and all the humor that was once on his face had dispersed. Now, he had this serious expression, and I wasn’t sure what to think of it.
“Because I feel bad for treating you poorly,”
he admitted. “I might have had you figured out wrong and for that I apologize.”
The bartender slid over two pina-coladas; I had to admit, it looked delicious… and refreshing.
“With that being said, I’m hoping we can start over,”
he continued as we stepped away from the bar. “A new start, maybe?”
I stared at him for a moment longer; he was serious.
I smiled up at him and rose my drink in the air.
“To a new start,”
I said in return.
He gave me a smile and clinked his glass against mine.

Enzo’s POV
Lila was gone by the time I left the bathroom. I wanted to get fully dressed and I knew she was going to need some space. But I didn’t think she was going to leave that quickly.
I was going to need to find her later, but first, I decided to go to Connie’s room to make sure she was okay after that awkward exchange with Lila.
“I didn’t think I’d be seeing you again tonight,”
Connie said, stepping aside for me to enter.
She was already completely dressed and damp from the shower she had just had. Her hair was left down, leaving steaks of water on her blouse and she had a brush in her hand.
“I just wanted to make sure you were okay,”
I answered. “Lila left for the night and I’m going to go find her.”
“Do you want me to come with you? Maybe I can explain a little better what happened,”
she suggested.
Actually, that might be a good idea if Lila can hear the full story from Connie. She would believe Connie right away if Connie said that nothing happened.
“That would be great,”
I said just as Connie rushed toward the bathroom.
“Just give me a minute to finish getting dressed,”
she shouted over her shoulder, shutting the bathroom door.
I waited for her while she finished getting ready.
Her suite was a lot smaller than the suite I shared with Lila, but that’s probably because this suite was only a one-bedroom.
I went toward her small kitchen and once I reached the counter, I knocked something to the ground by mistake. I frowned down at the contents of her purse that scattered to the ground.
I sighed as I bent down to pick them up, but just as I grabbed the last item and shoved it in her purse, I froze when I saw that it was a pill bottle.
I had no idea that Connie was on any kind of medication.
I glanced at the bottle more closely to see what it was.
Seeing the letters, GHP, my wolf gasped.
“Holy fuck…”
he said in a hoarse whisper. “Enzo… those are roofies!”
Enzo’s POV
“Are you ready to go?”
Connie asked as she came out of the bathroom.
I turned to face her, still holding the pill bottle in my grip, she had yet to notice.
“What are these?”
I asked, holding up the bottle for her viewing.
Her eyes adjusted to the bottle in her hands, and it was like the color had drained from her face. She opened her mouth to speak, but only air came out.
“I asked you a question,”
I said through my teeth. “Connie, what are these?”
“I can explain…”
she said, her voice coming out as nothing more than a whisper.
The tremble in her tone told me more information than her silence, but I wanted to hear her say it.
“I’m waiting.”
“Okay… before you get mad… I just wanted to say that I really loved you and I wanted you to see that you could possibly love me too… I thought maybe if I confused you then we could—”
“Confuse me? What are you talking about?”
I asked, interrupting her rambling. “Just tell me what these are for.”
She stared at me for a moment longer, her entire body now trembling and her eyes visibly filling with tears.
“What did you do?”
I asked her, a little louder this time.
“I might have drugged you tea the other night…”
she finally said, tears falling from her eyes.
“Might have? Or you did?”
She was quiet for a moment longer and just as I was about to open my mouth to firmly tell her to answer my question, she said, “I did…”
I placed the pill bottle on the counter; looking at Connie, I felt nothing but disgust.
“You drugged me.”
It wasn’t a question.
A steady stream of tears continued to fall from her eyes and soak over her very pale freatures as she bit onto her bottom lip to keep herself from sobbing. But to no prevail.
“I’m so sorry…”
she managed to sputter.
I was at a loss for words and it was taking everything I had to keep Max under control. Despite Connie being our oldest and best friend, Max wanted to tear her apart. I felt used and disgusted all over.
I also felt weak that I would allow something like this to happen under my own nose.
“You…”
I went to say, but truth be told, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to say.
Had she drugged me and had her way with me?
