I looked at her uncertain gaze and raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you take anything that night before we had sex?" I asked.

She stared at me intently before replying. "I did. I... I took something, but I didn't take an aphrodisiac or whatever it's called. Why would I take that nonsense?" Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"You tell me!" I yelled, annoyed. "I know you're embarrassed, but you don't need to hide it. It's between us."

"I never took any stupid aphrodisiac. I didn't! I swear," she snapped, her eyes teary and clear as crystal.

"You said you took something. Isn't that what you took?" I asked.

"I just had a few glasses of drinks, and that was it. I didn't even eat much. Why would I even want to take something like that? I obviously don't need it," she said, shaking her head.

"Wait, you didn't know?" I asked, slowly.

"I wish I had an idea of what you're talking about. Do you care to explain? I'm dying of curiosity right now," she said.

I swallowed hard and walked to my sofa, then sat on it. "That night at the party, I had a few drinks without knowing that wolfsbane was in them. I became very weak and decided to rest. I was given a room, and that's when I saw you there," I paused and looked at her.

Vivian looked very curious, her eyes widened, staring deeply at me as if she blinked, she might lose me. Her ears seemed to twitch.

"Aren't you going to continue?" she asked, breaking the silence.

I sighed deeply and lowered my gaze. "You seemed to be craving intimacy. I thought you were a prostitute, so I decided to give in. Even at that moment, I thought I needed it."

Vivian could only sigh and avert her gaze. "I can only remember traces and a few flashes of that day. Nothing more, nothing less," I said.

"After we had sex that day, and I left you, I noticed the aphrodisiac," I muttered.

"But I didn't notice it, how?" she asked, coming closer to me.

"A mere werewolf can't taste it since it's quite tasteless. I was able to detect it because I have a strong sense of taste. I'm not a Lycan for nothing," I said, trying to be humorous, but she laughed.

I stood up, and she took a few steps backwards.

"So, what you mean is that I took something that triggers sexual urges?" she asked.

"Highly triggers and induces," I said with a strong voice.

"But how? I didn't ask for that. Why would I even need that in the first place?" she asked.

"I think it was added to one of the drinks you had," I said.

"But I never asked for it. Wait, did they add it to everyone's drink at the party? That's insane," she said.

"No, I'm not sure about that," I quickly disagreed. "I think you were given that stuff by someone."

"But why? Who did that?" she asked.

I scoffed. "How am I supposed to know?"

"I don't get it. Who would want me to become a sex maniac for no fucking reason?" she asked, looking angry.

"I understand you feel upset, but you should take it easy. I'm also angry that I was given wolfsbane by someone, but since then, I have no clue who did that."

"Don't you care about that? Don't you want to find out who did that? You shouldn't be too gullible, or they might try to do it again. We need to find that person," she said, and I could swear she looked zealous and ambitious.

I sighed deeply and shook my head. "We can't just rush into things. We have to take it easy, and trust me, I'm more curious about this case than you. I just don't talk about it."

"Well, I don't know about you, but I feel very uneasy hearing that," she said, concerned. "Someone I don't even know had the guts to add something like that to my drink. Why? Did they probably want to rape me or something? I don't even know many men in that pack, so what are they trying to do exactly? It's so disturbing and annoying."

"Someone you don't know?" I asked, one eyebrow raised.

"Why? What's wrong?" she asked, sounding puzzled.

"You said it's someone that you don't know who did that to you, right?" I asked, seeking clarification.

"Well, I think so. Isn't it obvious? Probably a stranger saw me from afar and sent a drink to make me sexually aroused," she said.

I sighed deeply. "What if it's someone you actually know instead?" I said, and her eyebrows went up.

"Pardon?" she asked.

"You heard me correctly. It could be someone you know... or even someone you trust," I said.

"Someone I know? Someone I trust?" she repeated. "Like who?" Her face looked confused.

"I don't know," I shrugged. "Only you would."

"Like I said before, I don't know a lot of guys, and I don't trust any of them. Well, the only man I think I trust is my cousin, Nicholas..." she said softly and kept her eyes down.

"Nicholas?" I asked.

"Yes," she smiled and nodded. "Gosh! I miss him so much."

"Anyway, I think I need to look into that and find out what happened. I have to pick his brain. Definitely, I would come up with something," she said.

"Well, good luck to you. Anyway, I think you should leave now. I really want to rest," I groaned and fell on the bed.

"So, what about you? Aren't you going to investigate?" she asked, as she kept staring intently at me.

"What do you mean?" I asked, quickly.

"Don't you want to know who could have given you that wolfsbane?" she asked, and I sighed.

"Like you said, what if it was someone close who added it to your drink?" she asked, and I turned my head to her. Her face had a smirk, and I rolled my eyes.
