Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 14.4

Ah. Perry Phurry could never. I suddenly feel all giddy.

"What do you want, little girl?" he growls. The King looks up not liking his tone.

"Don't," I try to pull away when he lunges over the desk to take the phone. "Jonas,"

"Is that how you speak to your superiors?" the King demands as soon as he takes the phone. "Your King wouldn't deny me your head. Just ask Calvin Redwood,"

"Jonas," I rip the phone out of his hand. "That was uncalled for. We're supposed to be making friends. We promised, the Alpha King,"

"Put it on speaker, Pernicious," he growls.

I roll my eyes and do ask he asks. I set the phone between us as he goes around to sit down. Don't laugh, Perry. Do not reward his behavior, but holy shit. I want to. I probably will after the talk he promised we'd have

"Please, tell me you didn't hang up," I say into the phone after taking a deep breath and releasing it slowly to keep the laughter out of my voice.

"What can I help you with, Lycan Queen?" Alpha Tech says tightly.

The satisfied grin on the King's face has me trying not to laugh at Lockwood that much more. How ironic is it that the man who destroyed my life has to accept that I am no longer beneath the soles of his shit-kickers? Ten points for team Nelson, Daddy.

"I would like to politely ask your permission to enter the city so we can meet face-to-face," I answer after attempting to calm myself.

"I am no longer alpha of the city, Perry. You know that," he huffs. I love the way he said my name like it's a really bad slur.

"Right, but she's your daughter and I'm not there to see her. I need to speak with you. Directly,"

"When?"

"Can we do it tomorrow at noon? You pick the place. Somewhere not too public. I'm supposed to be dead,"
