Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 57

The plaza is hidden somewhere in the hills past the Blue Moon pack and it's crowded. After cleaning myself up in the car, I think the drive was a total of forty minutes. The "wedding planner" is a woman. She's dressed in a ho***al striped pantsuit. There is absolutely nothing under her blazer. Her hair is up in a braid and pinned around the back of her head like a halo. These women are ridiculously gorgeous. Her silver eyes are very unsettling. The scar cut down her right eye says she wasn't always a wedding planner. "My King," she greets the King with a bow and I try not to laugh when she shows a bit of what she's got under her jacket. I don't see a mark anywhere so she's unmated. "Debora," he greets her.

"I think I should set aside some of these dresses if you're going to continue bringing these things here," she says looking down at me like I've got germs.

"Why don't you do your f****g job with your pouty d***k-s***g lips shut, ***h," I growl. Her mouth falls open and the King looks away trying to hide his amusement. I step closer to her and shut her mouth. "Like this," "Don't touch me, dog," she growls pulling away from me.

"Or what?" I reach down to button her blazer. All seven buttons. "Hmm? What are you going to do?"

"All right. You've made your point, Little Wolf," the King wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me away from her. "Show us what you've got, Debora,"

"Yes, my King," she bows her head to him and turns around to lead us into the bridal shop.

The walls are a pretty soft pink. Decorated with shoes and bridal tiaras. They look expensive as hell. There are huge beautiful dresses on display along the walls in various colors. Red, pink, gold, silver, teal, royal blue, and white. The King places his hand on my lower back and pushes me to follow.

I never considered getting married. It never crossed my mind. I was a f****g kid when I was mated. The way I lived my life, it just wasn't something that crossed my mind and it's not something wolves with fated mates do. It's something that arranged matings do and it's not an easy thing to consider.

"Do I really have to do this?" I whisper looking up at the King

"Yes," he gives me a single nod. "Didn't you ever want to marry your mate?"

"I don't think either of us thought of something this ridiculous," I sigh.

"Maybe your mate wasn't as perfect as you think he was then," he says and pushes me forward again. I almost stumble, but keep my footing not wanting to let this b***h laugh at me.

She stops at the glass desk and motions us to take a seat on the moon chairs in front of her. There are several magazines on the table between us.

"What colors were you considering?" she asks. I'm not sure if she's talking to me or him.

"Black and gold," he answers when I don't.

"Royal wedding colors?" she asked surprised.

"Is there a problem?" he asks. She immediately shakes her head and sorts through the magazines before sliding a few of them in my direction.

"I was thinking pink and gold," I tell him.

just as deep as mine with these gestures. I flip through a couple of the magazines and find nothing that catches my attention. I get up and walk around the shop looking at the dresses on display. What the f** am I supposed to do here? I don't know anything about weddings or dresses. I've never even worn something this- I don't even know a word for it. "Here you go.
