Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 24

"Then dress better," he growls and steps off the lift.

"I don't know if you know this, but I don't even have a closet. I don't have a say in what I wear," I call after him. He stops and turns to face me when we get to the giant doorway that leads inside. "What? These aren't your clothes?"

"No, Silas burned them. He said they were tacky and that you would never approve. In what f***ng world would I pick pink blouses and faded jeans. With sweaters for dorks? I like leather and heels. You did this. You made me look like a tw***k," "I'll fix that," he says looking me over. He reaches for my powder pink sweater and laughs. "What?"

"Silas probably tried to make you seem a little less intimidating. I'll have the stylist come in the morning so you can tell her your preferences-Heels?"

"Yes, nice big heels I can use to crush someone's throat with. You've seen the shoes in my room."

"I thought they were decorative. My sister has a wall of them in her room. Mother doesn't allow her to wear them," he stares at the necklace. "It looks perfect on you, Pernicious. I knew it would,"

His phone rings and he presses the bud in his ear as we make our way inside and into the elevator. I am f****ng pi****ed about having to wear this ****d thing around my neck. It's heavy and I've never worn anything around my neck. you know why I've never worn anything around my neck? I've come across dead bodies that have been strangled to death! Pretty girls whose throats were ripped open by some a***le trying to get the jewelry off! "I didn't know that," he says turning around to look at me as tears slip down my face.

"What?" I quickly wipe them away.

"You

screamed t d that in your head loud enough for me to be able to hear it. I apologize, but it's not coming off," he sighs putting his phone away. "You're not in Red Wood City anymore, "You don't understand people at all," I scoff and walk out of the elevator.

"Perry," he takes my hand and spins me around.

"You just ruined everything we've been building since I got here. All of it. I thought we were friends," I rip my hand out of his as I try to fight the rage inside me. Hot angry tears fill my eyes. "But that was on me, Lycan King." We are fre friends"

"Friends don't do this,"

"You're also my property, Perry. Everyone has to know,"

I know that. That's why I let you mark me, I growl. "This is betrayal,"

"No, it is not," he roars making me step back. "Do you want to know why none of the other she-wolves survived here? Lycan females are aggressive. They will kill to be in your position, Perry. They have. You running around here like you own the place is dangerous. That is why you have an escort all day long. That is so they know you belong to me. That you are my wolf. I own you! Get that through your head,"
