I smoothed down the fabric of my gown and took a deep breath, steeling myself for what was to come. I had never been one for large crowds, especially not ones as glamorous and ostentatious as this.

I took in my surroundings as my senses sharpened. I could feel the cool night air on my fur and smell the faint scent of human fear on the breeze. I knew what was coming, and I was ready for it.A rustling in the garden nearby caught my attention, and I crouched down low, preparing to pounce. A figure emerged from the shadows, and I could see the glint of fangs in the moonlight.
