Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 139.

Everything is changing too fast for me to try to understand how it is I even got here. The one thing that makes sense is the one thing that shouldn't. Waking up in the King's arms is both comforting and confusing as shit.

My study is covered in boutique boxes and shopping bags. Oz is rerunning her tests, and I am grateful to be distracted by her because unpacking all this to put away was not on my to-do list today.

"Everything seems to be normal," she says as she puts her things away.

"Thanks, Oz," I say pulling the King's bathrobe sleeve down my arm.

She brings me clothes without me asking and continues to work on something on her tablet once she feels I have what I need. I think it's safe to say she's the one who dressed me after I spazzed out in the dance studio.

"Jonas told me you made a joke about the obsidian sanctums," she chuckles as I slip into a pair of jeans. I pause and glance over at her to see her holding up a pendant.
