Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 136

Jonas

Perry is a complete mystery. She far exceeded my expectations long before I killed her and she continues to give more than I will ever be worthy of. Yet, she's the only one who doesn't see it She doesn't see how special she is.

It shows in the colors of her pelt. White hasn't been granted to any of our bloodlines for centuries. No one has ever been worthy. No one until a little black wolf was forced to serve me. I took some time and coaxing to get her to settle down. As soon as she shifted back into her skin, the telekinetic hold she had on the shards of glass gave away. I've never seen the glow she emitted around the shards she lifted from the ground or the blast that burst out of her when she finally gave in.

She's freaking out and telling her she went from being beta-born straight to royal status is not going to blow over very well. She's already overwhelmed with everything else. Every one of my instincts want nothing more than to lock her away. I've lost too much to just let her run around as recklessly as she does. But I can't bring myself to do anything other than prepare her for what it means to be the Queen of race. That's right. Our race.

"I gave her a sedative," Dr. Alvarez says as she sits on the floor next to me just outside her room. I glance at her and nod.

"Thank you. Did she say anything?"

"No, I think she's still in shock. She stretched as expected. Just a couple of inches. She's six feet now. Her hair is longer and-" "And?"

"Her body adjusted to her length. We're going to need to replace all her clothes immediately. I have her new measurements," "Send them to Silas. Tell him Perry shifted. This doesn't get out to anyone. I already spoke to Jordan and the twins. How many Lycans do we have that have telekinetic abilities still?"

"Two," she answers. "The Duke of Arinsteele and the alpha of Qamar Jadid,"

"Shit. I have to find her an obsidian amulet to help her control it. I need to-"

over mine. "I can take care of the details. You need to be close to her. What is happening to Perry is a lot. She was already very vulnerable when you brought her to us. She seems like the kind of person who always thought she'd be in control of her fate and she hasn't quite

Think of all the ways you wish your parents had treated you going into this. You were a very small and pampered boy when you first shifted. Don't make the same mistakes as before.
