A werewolf entered, and conversations became a little bit quieter. Not because they had to. Not because the law said humans should fear them.Because power has a way of making people always pay attention.I had spent three and a half years working at The Ivory Plate, which was a fancy enough place to attract wealthy customers and just affordable enough for ordinary people to pretend they belonged there.Which meant I had served my fair share of humans, vampires, and werewolves.I knew the difference.Vampires had red eyes.
