Chapter 56: Drugged
Louis POV
Alpha Thor's birthday celebration was already in full swing when we arrived at the Trumpant Pack. The pack house was buzzing with music, laughter, and the clinking of glasses. It was grand—just like Thor himself. The man didn't do anything halfway.
The moment I stepped out of the car, Alpha Thor himself greeted me with a wide grin and a brotherly slap on the back.
"Louis! I wasn't sure you'd show up," he boomed. "But I'm glad you did. It wouldn't be the same without the infamous Louis showing his cold face."
I forced a smile. "Happy birthday, Thor. You're getting old."
He laughed, throwing his head back. "And still better looking than you."
I let out a short chuckle and followed him inside. My warriors lingered outside, alert and stationed, just as I instructed.
Inside, the air was thick with perfume and alcohol. Beautiful women fluttered around like moths to flame, some throwing glances my way. I ignored them all. I wasn't here for pleasure or idle talk. I just needed to make an appearance and leave.
A server was passing by with a glass of champagne. Thor took it and handed it to me. "Come on, just one. For old time's sake."
I eyed the glass for a moment. The liquid swirled like honeyed fire, and I hesitated. Then, I took it from him with a nod and brought it to my lips.
The first sip burned slightly, but it wasn't bad. I tilted the glass back and drank it all in one go.
