Notes:
This is an excerpt of a bigger story I'm working on that's still in the (very, very early) planning stage, but suddenly I had this scene pop into my head and felt that it was important to get down on 'paper' and share. However, as it is part of a bigger world / story of my own creation, some things may not make much sense so I have put down some info to know about the characters/setting before reading:
• This is a story about two wolfshifters who are in love called Jasper and Maddie
• Jasper is wanting to give Maddie some classic 'human' experiences (as she ran away from human society when she was young) so they go to a bar together (though 'Mads' personally would have preferred to stay home and read as she's not big on drinking, but decides to come along because "what the hell, what is life without new experiences?")
• Because it's a human place, they can't shift into wolves as the human world (as a whole) doesn't know Wolf shifters exist
• In this universe, Wolf Shifters / 'Werewolves' do have a weakness to Silver (as per the usual silver dagger / bullet legends), however not in the way people think. Rather, they can be essentially mind-controlled by Silver when intentionally manipulated, which obviously makes it a dangerous substance for them
• Also, Wolfshifters, though rapid healers, are not invulnerable. As Jasper once pointed out, "Well yeah, a bullet or well-placed stab, Silver or otherwise, would kind of kill pretty much anyone."
• There is also a plant called 'Moonlace' that has to been grown/harvested in specific conditions (so humans couldn't just stumble upon it and accidentally make it, if they have access to it, they'd have to have intentionally done so), which is a vaporous liquid which has a somewhat similar effect as Silver, but much much fainter and more serves to make wolf-shifters more inclined to trust a person and suppresses natural instinct of "this person is bad", serving to muddle their minds and make them more easily persuaded.

• So, story wise, essentially what has happened just before the start of this story is that Jasper and Maddie got into a fight and Jasper leaves. As he leaves he says "well, I guess we'll talk later then!" And Maddie turns toward him (and subsequently away from her drink for literally 2-4 seconds) and says "fine! See you later then." Then she turns and continues drinking her drink as a handsome, clean-shaven guy has sat next to her and starts talking to her, nice and friendly, and being kind and listening to her as she rants about the fight and how she didn't even want to come to the bar anyway and a number of trivial topics etc. And then the story starts / picks up 10-20 minutes later.

• Also please note that, whilst elements such as wolf-shifters, mind-controlling silver, and 'Moonlace' are fictional, this is a very real scenario that can happen with spiked, non-spiked, or even no drinks or drugs at all. Some people may read real life stories about people who get sexually assaulted and/or raped and may think things such as "that would never happen to me." Or "Well I'd fight back!" (sadly my character Maddie once thought the same) but the thing is it can happen to anyone, regardless of circumstance or how they are dressed, whether you do or don't know the person, what your gender is, any and all of it really. And thinking about how you'd respond on the outside of a scenario vs how you actually respond when in that scenario are very different things. The thing with sexual assault (and rape) is that very often people experience a psychological response known as "fawning" (this also happens with victims of bullying), in which your brain acts to protect you from your nervous system as it's overloaded with the trauma that is unfolding, and you 'just go along with' what happens (you may also 'freeze', or dissociate, all other common responses that can happen in conjunction with fawning), even if you try to fight back because it is a terrifying, traumatising thing to experience. So, when reading this (fictional) story, please keep all of this (non-fictional reality) in mind and be respectful when commenting, thank you.
• I would like to note also that I (thankfully) have personally never experienced Sexual Assault, and I sincerely hope that I (and all of you guys) never do, so this story and all of this writing is purely from research and reading I've done. If any one of you reading have experienced these things, I am so incredibly sorry that you have gone through that experience, and please know that my PM's are always open if you need to talk or just need someone to listen <3. This story may most likely be uncomfortable and/or triggering, so please don't feel the need to read it if it will be upsetting or harmful to you. If you choose to read regardless, please know that I genuinely have tried my best to convey how I imagine how it would feel, and my only goal is to raise awareness of what an incredibly horrible (beyond horrible!) thing sexual assault and rape is.
