Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)



Chapter 14 Резу

I get dressed and step out of the bathroom to see him sitting at the loveseat by the television setup. I'm glad that the provided outfit today is a pair of light denim jeans and a pretty blue blouse. I look around for my shoes and I freeze when my eyes land on the bed. "S**d f*** ***h,"

1 growl and go over to the bed pulling the bedspread and sheets off needing to get rid of them. How f*****g dare she nest. like this. My wolf howls inside of me pressing against my abdomen. My knees hit the floor as she cries out trying to stop me.

"No." 1 shout and she stops. "You don't get to do that, Crystal. You don't get that,"

I groan when she lashes out at me pushing against my throat to let me know she's upset about me

“Enough, I growl falling on all fours.

ying her nest

I push her down gasping for air. My body is trembling with rage. She settles and then I feel her pain flood my body. I sit back on my calves and let her howl. I stay like this until she's done. When I open my eyes the King is crouching in front of me. He lets out a heavy sigh and places his hand on my head.

I should have cleaned up," he says gently. "I just didn't know how you would react to it,"

"It's not your fault" I shake my head feeling a little woozy,

TII have it cleared out," he nods.

I lower my gaze because I can't even look at him. I can't believe she did that. She nested for him and he let her. To say I'm upset with them both is an understatement. The first I nested, I was seventeen. I remember choosing Darren's side of the closet and him handing me pieces of his favorite clothing and the sheets we had just made love in. He was so happy.

"Don't ever let her do that again, Jonas," I say looking up at him so he knows I'm serious

"You can't change what comes naturally to her,"

"You can do whatever you want with me, but do not torture my wolf with something that's never going to happen. We're not the same. I'm not like you. I'm not a complete animal. I'm asking you as a friend. Please, don't let her do that again."

"Okay," he agrees and stands up. He takes my hands and pulls me up. "Let's get you out of here. I'll have this cleaned up,

He holds up my Vans and motions me to follow. There's a new pair of socks inside. I slip them on and then my shoes as we walk down to the

elevator. If my reaction bothered him, he doesn't show it. When our bond opened up. I felt all of him. But I'm getting very little now. I stretch trying to calm myself a little more.

"Your wolf's name is Crystal?"

"Yes,"

"You named her?

"No, she told me her name was Crystal the night we met,"

"Explain that to me,"

"Werewolves aren't cursed like your kind. We're mortal basically Just humans that were once blessed by the spirits of the past. When we turn sixteen and shift for the first time, the spirit of the wolf bound to us appears as we prepare to give in. We

"You're the Lycan king. Do you not know how Lycans came to be The vampires created you to take us out. When the first King found out he would be stronger joining our ranks, her turned on them. Killed the entire Royal Bloodline to free your kund from s***y,"

"You don't believe that ***t do you? I've never come across a vampire, he laughs.

"Never

"Have you?"

"Yes, there is a coven just outside of Red Wood. They're freaky,"

"No s**t?"

"No shit. If we go back for my cars, I'll take you,"

"Will you let me drive one?

"Do you know how to drive?"

"Why w

you assume I don't?"

Most Alphas are driven around. Never met one who can."

"Are you serious?" he laughs.

"Mhun,

"I can drive. I'll show you my cars," he smirks. "How does a neen-year-old wolf become as rich as he did?" he holds up a tablet to show me Darren's Wolf Bing Profile. "You two have quile the fortune,"

"He had a hot mate that was really into making money, I laugh. He grins. "He created the algorithm for that app. He sold in for seventeen million and gave me the money to invest. Red Wood is stupid as f****k but it has really good schools. Jacob paid for us to go to the best private schools. The three of us had a really good father,This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"Three of you?"

"Yes, Darren, Mackenzie, and me. Mack is Darren's little sister,"

"You have a Lycan sister-in-law?"

"I didn't know they were Lycans," I laugh when the doors ping and then slide open. "But yeah. I guess I do,"

"Where is she?"

"Who f***g knows? She went crazy after Darren was killed. She was already in bad shape after their mom and baby brother died. She took off and we haven't heard from her since. It's probably for the best though. She was aggressive and very unpredictable. She tried to kill Morgan more than once, "I would have let her," he grins and walks out of the elevator.

"I want to see Perry I am not leaving until I see my daughter, you big a*** f***g animal," I hear Jacob's growl as we approach the lobby.

"Sir, the Queen is going through a transition-"

"It's been four days. I know how long the transi" he stops when he sees the two of us walking in their direction. Silas and another Lycan step away from him. He visibly relaxes. "Terry,"

Jake, giving the Lycans a piece of your mind, huh?"

"I was worried, he sighs and glares at the King. "I thought he did something to you. I've heard the others talking about you being attacked by his brother,"

He's just a taller Calvin. Nothing I can't handle," I go over and hug him. I didn't notice before but I might be a little taller. My head goes past his shoulder.

"You're okay," he says stepping back so we're at arus length from one another. His eyes land on the King's mark for a second and he nods. "You look good,"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Step back, the King growls. We both back away from one another..

"For our protection. All of us. Especially Mack," he answers. “We can talk about this now,"

"After she's fed, the King growls.

Hey, Relax-l glance back at him and link us through our bond He flinches.

"What the f***?" he puts his hand on his head. "How did you do that?"

You don't have pack links?"

"Oh I laugh. "I should have told you before,

This never happened with the others," he says shaking his head. "I feel light-headed,"

They probably weren't strong enough, to make things worse my stomach grumbles.

“Come, little wolf. Let's get you fed," he rubs his temples. That was insane. I heard you in my head,"

"Perry!" I look back to see Andromeda and her mother walking in our direction. “Ah! Look at you,"

"Look at you," I say because she looks bigger. The marks on her arm are darker than before. She looks a lot more like her brother but also as pretty as her mom.

"I shifted," she spins around in her cute sunflower sundress.

"Congratulations," I say when she comes over to me for a hug.

"I knew there would be changes, but you've taken to the mark, Alegra greets me. She smiles putting her hand on my head. She's still a few inches taller than me and she's wearing heels. Her eyes move over to the man behind me.

"Ally, this is my dad. Jacob Phurry. Jake this Queen Alegra," I introduce them. "The King's mother,"

"Pleasure," he says staring at her face.

"Do we know each other?" she asks.

“Uh, we might. London, neen seventy-nine? You were Eliza's roommate,"

“Oh, my goddess. You're Eliza's wolf, she laughs and holds her hand out for him. “"How is she?"

"She died about twelve years ago,

“Jacob, I am so sorry," she places her hand on his shoulder. "How

"Childbirth. Her body couldn't handle a third and I couldn't talk her into an abortion. They both died,"

Tam so sorry," she hugs him this time. "You're not her biological father,"

"No, she's my eldest's mate,"

“Oh," she nods. "That explains everything she smiles looking back at me. "Welcome to the family, Jacob. Breakfast. We can't have hungry wolves in our home. I know your kind can be temperamental,"

"You're one to talk." Jacob laughs. I didn't know you were mated to the King. Thomas was a good man,"

"He was," she says looking down at her hands. "Come. Let's eat. Tam famished,"

“Me too." Andromeda grins. Her eyes flash and her canines elongue. She covers her mouth embarrassed. control it yet."

"Mother, after breakfast, Perry and I will be leaving the territory to go back to Red Wood. Will you please show Mr. Phurry. around? He's part of our

pack now, the King informs his mom.

"Permanently?"

"Yes" he confirms. "Permanently."
