Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 140

Lockwood has to call me back, and soon because I want to bring in Allegra as fast as I can. Whatever she's up to, I hope she's doing it quickly and that it doesn't warrant her a death sentence. I'm hoping the King grants her some kind of mercy so she can teach me how to

sneak around the way she has. Maybe even hand down some sweet secrets.

"Perry, do you want to come-" The King stops at the door when he catches me playing on my computer. I bet he's just as weird about me being back here as I am.

"I would, but later. I have stuff to do," I laugh when he doesn't finish. He grins, and the tips of his cars get bright red. "What's up?"

"Would you like to have breakfast with Annie and me?" he asks.

"Sure," I stand up, lock my screen, and reach for my phone.

"Did I hear Oz in here?" he asks as we make our way to the elevator.

"Yeah, she was checking in on me and asked if I needed anything from the library,"

"The library"

"Research for my classes in the spring. I have a few months to brush up on Lycanthropy basics. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Do you have a list?" he asks. I hand him my phone. He scrolls through it and then adds some things. "It's a good start. I've been reviewing some of the Lycan Tech funding programs. Think we can talk about it at the dome later?" "You have four meetings today. Will you have time?" maybe bailing me out of psych evaluation around si. Maybe?

"How do you know that?" he smirks handing my phone back.

"It is our company. It would make sense that I be made aware of what's going on," I tuck my phone away. "I actually wanted to ask you something that Oz suggested," "Regarding your powers?"

"No, regarding us. She thinks it's a good idea for us to take couples counseling,"

"Perry," he bursts into laughter. "I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that,"

Neither of them brought up the former Queen or the progress made in bringing her back. She also asked Mack a couple of questions.
