Leia stepped off the dance floor with flushed cheeks and a bright smile playing on her lips. She made her way to the bar counter where Kieran sat with a glass of vodka in his hand. The colorful lights of the club danced across his face as he looked at her, returning her smile with one of his own.
"This," Leia said, sliding onto the stool beside him, slightly out of breath, "this is what fun actually feels like!"
Kieran chuckled as she placed her elbows on the counter and signaled for a cocktail. Taking a slow sip of the drink, Leia leaned in a little closer and whispered near his ear, "But it's kind of strange… no one here seems to recognize you."
Kieran took another sip of his vodka, his eyes scanning the crowd lazily. "Not everyone from our pack comes to this place," he said, keeping his voice low. "This club's open to the public. You'll find people from every pack here. It's neutral territory."
