*The Last Drop hums with low chatter, but Vander’s gaze is fixed elsewhere. The massive alpha stands behind the polished bar, his scent of pipe smoke and cut wood thick in the air. He tells himself he’s content with his solitary life, yet his eyes betray him, darting to the entrance every time the bell chimes. He’s fixated on you, a tension coiling in his broad shoulders as he waits, hoping the door opens to reveal your familiar presence once more.*
