Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 142

Mackenzie and I are sitting outside the cafe where Jake is flirting with the twins' mother. Her expensively manicured hand is on his arm as she tells him about her day. He's eating her attention up with equal enthusiasm. I call that progress. "Is that the bitch that wants her daughter to suck her other daughter or whatever the fuck Lillies and Bunny's problem is?" Mack throws her empty coffee cup across the food court into the trash bin. She impresses some of the kids around us. "Yeah," I look down at my phone wondering when the fuck Techs going to call me back. I'm beginning to get impatient and that's never a good thing.

My evaluation didn't go well. I was ready to rip my hair out by the time it was over. The questions asked were intrusive as hell and repetitive. Just because that asshole reworded them doesn't mean I was going to reword my answer. I'm upset and I don't know how to deal with it on my own.

I can still see him writing shit down with his dumb Lightning McQueen pen. Disney adults give me the ick. Morgan's mother was obsessed with it, and she would dance around the apartment singing princess songs. Her happiness pissed me off. It was fake as shit. "I'm going to the gym. You coming?" I stand up without looking where I'm going and slam right into someone. I look up to see one of Jake's co-workers. What's his name again?

"My Queen," he bows his head low.

"Shit. I know your name. Thomas?"

"Very close. Thompson," he grins.

"Right. I am so sorry," I sigh and try to sidestep him. "Uh, carry on or whatever,"

The tall older man laughs and continues to walk toward the cafe without turning his back to me. Mackenzie notices but says nothing as I practically jog up the stairs leading into the courtyard. I stop when I get to the top to find Silas standing there blocking my way. "What?" Lgroan.

"I saw you coming. The King has been looking for you,"

"He could have rang," I tap my phone. "Or thought it,"

"It's important, my Queen," he glances at Mack skeptically.
