Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 116 Jonas

"What did you do?" Dr. Alvarez asks accussingly as soon as we're standing outside of her clinic.

"I beg your pardon?" I flinch when she all but jumps on me holding a tablet in her hands. She shoves it in my face. There are Lycan scans on the screen, I stare at them not sure why she's showing me this. "Oz, I don't care about whatever this is," "Come," she takes my hand and pulls at me. "I'm tired. I want to go to bed,"

"Now," she growls tugging on my hand harder.

I groan and motion to the doors. She looks around like she's expecting someone to jump out at us from the shadows. I think hanging around Perry changed her just as much as it did me. I stop when I see the empty icebox Perry had been kept in. On the floor a few feet away is the empty body bag. "What the fuck, Oz?" I growl at her.

"I was cleaning her up. I read the report. A hole straight through the chest," she pulls on me again. Perry is lying on an operating table in her pretty dress. "Look,"

Dr. Alvarez releases me and pushes me toward the body. I slowly approach and stop when I see that the hole I'd punched through her chest is gone. I rush to her side placing my hand over the ripped material of her dress. There's skin where there should be a gaping hole. I look back at Dr. Alvarez. "What the f****k?"

"That's what I said," she nods and starts fiddling with the machines around Perry. She's sticking wires all over her where she

can.

"Is she alive? How is she healing?" I ask.

"Healing?" we both look back to find Mackenzie standing in the doorway.

"Not healing," Dr. Alvarez says coming closer. "Transitioning,"

"To what?" Mackenzie demands.

"Lycan," I a "I answer when Dr. Alvarez stares back at me. "No,"

"I thought this would make you happy, Your Grace," she steps back.

Why would that make me happy? It's not going to make Perry happy if she wakes up. It's going to make her angry. And sad. If she wakes up a Lycan it means she won't be a wolf anymore. She'd lose the final tether to who she had once been. Crystal. "How is that possible? There is no f***ng way," Mackenzie storms over to us. She looks Perry over.

"She's going to be pi****d," I place my hand where her wound had been. "S***. I pierced her heart. There's no way she survives this," "Not exactly," Dr. Alvarez says. "You cut the two bottom chambers triggering the proper healing process. Her body is in hibernation. Like before. It shut down enough to help her heal. The ice has been helping. Keeping her cool enough to preserve her body while she heals," ""What now?" Mackenzie asks.
