Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 149

I agree. I know she's good at what she does. The manipulative snake that she is. We're cut out for this. Groomed into it. Jonas is good at the logistics, but he doesn't understand fighting. He's never had to do it outside of training and believe me when I say, it's never the

same thing.

Killing someone with your bare hands, and giving into the animal side we as a society are steered away from does something to us. Every single time. We say it gets easier, but the truth is that it doesn't. What it steals just becomes easier and easier to live without. I was never jealous of anyone in the position I find myself in, because truth be told. I was the weapon. The Falcon, the Alpha King, and my superiors were the ones who gave the order with no room for failure.

"He could use you, right now. Fuck, I knew you did something fucking dumb from the start, but I didn't think it would be this. Not until Jonas told me he suspected that Sofie wasn't his after everything went down. Even if Sofie was his, I would have killed you in his place," "Why aren't you?" she asks. I look over at her to see she's serious.

"I've taken enough from him. I see it in the way he looks at everyone suspiciously. He snaps very Perry-like. I mean this is what I had intended. I wasn't supposed to be here to have his back. It kind of hurts seeing that side of him," "Someone had to teach him, Perry. You've worked for the Kings. You know what it's like for us. How we all are,"

"Yes, but I'm going to miss soft-hearted Jonas. His fears are getting worse. I can feel it no matter how far or how close we are. It's like his soul is pulsing. I'm just a stupid little girl. How the fuck am I supposed to deal with all of this?"

I pull over feeling everything spin. I stumble as soon as my feet are on solid ground and everything I had for breakfast comes up. Why the hell did I say that out loud? To Alegra Prince of all people.

"Maybe it feels like he's pulsing because you're just as scared as he is," she comes around with the water bottle I'm pretty sure was Alpha Knightly's.

"Of course, I'm scared. A few months ago, I was feral and on the verge of committing a mass shooting in the middle of a pack event. And now I'm mateless, sonless, and wolfless. Oh, and the Queen of all Lycans. I turn into a literal nightmare. I can keep going on and on. For at least twenty minutes,"

"Perry," she says gently.

"We should catch up to the twins," my phone rings just as I finish swishing water in my mouth. I spit and put on speaker. "I'm going. I got a little car sick,"

""You good?" Lillies asks.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I hang up and get back in the car.

"I can drive,"

"Yeah, that's not going to happen. Jonas would kill me," I start the car and continue. The dashboard lights up with the name King Mouth Breather on the center screen. I hit the green button. "Hello?"

"I felt your anger. You okay?" he answers worriedly.

"Yeah, I was just arguing with your mother. Say hello,"

"Pass. Are you okay? She didn't try to hurt

you did she?"

"Of course, not,"

"What's your ETA?"
