them home.
    “Problem?” Ramiro sat on the stool beside Haig.
    “Not really.” Haig didn’t take his eyes off Audric as he began to slow dance with Juan. Haig’s wolf seemed to scratch at his insides, trying to push through the barrier of Haig’s human skin. If his wolf was so upset by Audric’s action, he couldn’t image Kern trying to control himself and his wolf. “It’s a damn good thing Kern isn’t here though.”
    “Why?”
    “Why? How can you ask that? Look at them.” Juan had one hand on Audric’s hip and the other on his ass. “Kern would rip the man’s arm off if he were here.”
    Ramiro leant closer. “It’s feeding. Try to step back enough to see the beauty in the act itself. There are no feelings involved.” Ramiro bumped his shoulder against Haig’s. “How does it make you feel when you’re closing in on your prey? Does your dick go hard? Is it the next best feeling to fucking?”
    Haig opened his mouth to deny it, but snapped it shut again. Yeah. He knew that feeling. “Is that really the way it is for vampires?”
    Ramiro smiled. “I’ve already eaten, but I like to stick around and watch the beauty as my fellow vampires catch and devour their prey.” He motioned towards Audric . Juan was actively grinding against the smaller man. “The more a human gets turned on, the sweeter the blood. Think of it as Audric preparing his prey.”
    When seen through Ramiro’s eyes, Haig had to admit there was a certain beauty in the way Audric lulled Juan into thinking there was a chance for something more physical between them. “I can see what you’re saying, but I still don’t think Kern would.”
    Ramiro shrugged. “There might come a day when you’re not around. Do you think Kern would rather accompany Audric or have his new mate go out alone?”
    Haig watched Audric’s fangs slip from their sheaths and sink into Juan’s neck. By the way Juan’s body bucked, Haig was pretty damn sure Audric was pulling straight sugar from the man’s veins.
    When the hardening of his own cock drew his attention, Haig sat on the stool behind him and pressed the heel of his palm against his fly. Shaking his head to clear the lust threatening to overwhelm him, Haig turned his attention to Ramiro. “So how’s Gunnar?”
    Ramiro sighed. “Not well.”
    “ Audric told me the vampire cooties will kill Gunnar’s wolf.”
    Ramiro winced at the analogy. “Sort of. His new vampire side won’t kill his wolf, but it’ll trap it. Gunnar will no longer be able to shift.”
    “Fuck me,” Haig groaned. “That’ll drive the wolf insane.”
    Ramiro nodded. “Yeah. Which is why most vampires would never attempt to change a were . But Gunnar’s a lot stronger than he thinks. If he could just pull his head out of his ass and accept what he’s become it would go a long way in helping him and his wolf make the transition.”
    Haig couldn’t imagine not being able to shift. He turned around and signalled for his fourth and final whisky. “If there’s anything we can do…”
    “There’s not,” Ramiro cut him off. “Unfortunately, the only one who can get Gunnar through this is Gunnar. Believe me. I’ve been pounding my head against the wall for weeks trying to talk him through it. He doesn’t want to be around me or anyone right now.”
    Being the head of security for the vineyard as well as pack Alpha, Haig knew Gunnar wasn’t used to asking or accepting help. “Just because he growls, doesn’t mean he’ll bite.”
    “Who, me?” Audric asked, still cleaning the blood from his chin.
    “Where’d you leave your date?” Haig asked.
    Audric gestured to a chair on the edge of the dance floor. Juan sat, spread-eagle with a wet stain on the front of his jeans and his head thrown back.
    “Is he dead?” Haig chuckled.
    “As close to death as you can get from a mind-blowing orgasm,” Audric replied. He lifted his hand towards Ramiro. “Hi.”
    Ramiro smiled and nodded. “Good to see you’ve
