Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

20:12 Sat, Chapter 134

Jordan escorts the twins out and shuts us in so he can stand guard at the doorway. The King steps away closing his fist around the ball he's holding. Fuck. Hello, consequences of my very little thought-out actions.

I unzip my hoodie and toss it aside. I have to remove my shoes. don't want to ruin them. My throat is so swollen I feel like I'm once again at the bottom of the abyss looking around with nowhere to go. This is not the first time I've been pushed into submission. It is, however, the first time I will be forced to shift without permission. It's always been up to Crys. We were always on the same page. I know this is going to be painful. Not just for me, but for him as well.

"Being in the position you are in has rules," the King takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. "You will never bow to anyone, but me," he says meeting my gaze. "You will not take orders from anyone, but me. You will never need to explain yourself to anyone, but me. I am your King and while we are the same rank trust that I will always have your best interest at heart. And vice versa. You are now tasked to help me become a better version of myself the same way," he tucks the ball in his pocket. "Prepare yourself," "I'm not ready,"

"Being what we are is not connection, Perry. It's instinct. You have the best killer instincts I've ever seen. You were born a wolf, but you were chosen to be a Lycan. That is not something that just happens.

"You're in pain because you were taught to rely on the spirit of the wolf inside of you. To become one with it. I feel it just as much as you do. There is no spirit to hold you back anymore. I'm not saying this to disregard Crystal or your beliefs in any way. I'm not askiChapter 133

The twins have a beautiful resume. One alone is overqualified but together, holy shit. And I can just have them? This is crazy. I shouldn't be in the position I am in. I might be a little off but Jonas is downright out of his mind.

"A task force?" Bunny asks.

"How many?" Lillies adds.

"Normally, I'd say six, but since the King doesn't want me to be part of it officially. Seven. Four since I already have and he wants Jordan to run it,"

"Yes," the two of them high-fived..

"Just to bring in the Queen?" Jordan asks.

"No. Bringing in the Queen is my job. The King doesn't want to make my presence known until he's established his footing at court properly. The task force will be under my guidance. Our job will be to gather information on the other Kings. It's a good idea. We make friends and we get dirt on them,"

"Aren't you fike a super spy? Don't you have that already?"

"My area of expertise is the Alpha King. He's five years older than me and it's easy to communicate with him. We're kind of friends. But the other Kings are not. The vampire King for starters is fucking crazy.

"We once went to this gathering and he had this human. She was compelled and all over him. He fed off her while everyone was deciding what to do with some attacks the old man was causing to distract the Triads,"

"You're kidding," Bunny shakes her head. "And no one did anything?"

"No. It didn't violate the treaty. Those at court are there for their people. Humans have their Queen and like me, any mortal could be handed off to any other race. So as long as it's legal. Vamps can care less about all the other species abolishing their slavery laws. And theirs go a lot deeper than what happens to us. Blood slaves have it the worst,"

"Do you think that's why the Alpha King wants to go after him?" Lillies asks.

I quickly let go and bring my elbow up to his face. He catches it and grips the back of my shirt and rips me right off of him. Asshole laughs and it allows me to kick him.
