Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 110

"Wow, they are lively today," Roy says once we're in the car. "We're making history. I'd be insulted if they weren't," I agree.

There are people outside with signs. Some of them like the diversity and some don't. It never dawned on me that this would be the reaction he would get. I was kept in a small bubble and focused on one thing not understanding the extent of what he was trying to build. Seeing it now tells me I made the right choice regardless of how we got here. I didn't expect to feel the way I do now. My entire existence was to serve and I'd always felt that I never served the right master. Before Falcon, I knew the kind of people the Redwoods were. I thought that as a beta, I'd be able to contribute to those of us who are left in the mud like my family, Morgan's family, and Darren's. Our leaders failed us and millions of others. When

I was accepted into the KNAVE as a knight I naively believed that the old man was right to be angry at the world. To take back what was rightfully his with the same wrath that took out his race. However, everything I did, every life I destroyed, and every life I took was random. I've been nothing but a weapon aimed by the wrong people and it caused me everything. Yet, here I am in what may very be the last moments of Pernicious Phurry. Serving a man who did right by me these last few months. It's funny that Jonas taught me that not everything has to be done through violence. This entitled, arrogant, brute of a man taught me something that no one had been able to teach me my entire existence.

Madness crept into my soul long ago. It made me believe that our world was doomed. I convinced myself that I had to be this way. Each loss, each demented deed, and all the f***ed up things I did to those I loved were justified by the ugly shit I was forced to see my entire life. I've accused others of playing the role of a victim not knowing that I had done the same.

As the King waves back at his people who are crying out his name, I find myself smiling. None of it feels like it was in vain anymore. I did something and for once in my pitiful life, it inspired someone to be better than me. These people know that he's here to help them. in

I guess what I failed to see since meeting him is how much he's helped me. I was an alcoholic on the verge of putting a gun my mouth to stop the anger and pain I'd never been able to cope with. I weighed a third of what I was meant to. I was dying. There was nothing and he forced me to be a version of myself, I'd never met before. He pushed the darkness down enough to show me I was surrounded by the wrong people and that there was more than just pain. Healed a part of me that I thought died with my mate.

"Her gown is ready my King. We have to prepare you both," Lillies and Jordan appear in front of me with smiles on their faces.

"Didn't think we'd miss your final, did you?" he smirks.

"A girl can only hope," I say disappointedly.

"You're no girl," Lillies smiles and holds out her hand. "And if you want us gone, all you have to do is give the order, your grace," "You're already here," I shrug. The King's hold on my hand tightens. I look up at him. "Everything okay?"

"Everything is perfect," he nods.

"I'll see you in a bit," I agree. He takes a deep breath and pulls me into him. He kisses me gently and before I can respond the way I want to he's gone. I spin around to face Lillies.

"Perry," Bunny screams excitedly and hops over to us until her arms are wrapped around me. She lifts me off the floor and spins me around. "Look," she says setting me down. She holds up a picture. "Ugh, I wish I could have been there,"

I I take the picture from her. I'm standing at the altar with the Lycan King dressed in the most beautiful dress I've ever worn looking up at him as he gazes down at me seconds before the carnage that took place in that sanctum happened. It looks legit. Two people in love starting the rest of their lives together.
