Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 151

Jonas

This floor is empty. Without Perry in it, I find that I'm not enjoying being away from everyone the way I used to. I want nothing more than to go back there and beg her to come back. Maybe drag her back even if she were kicking and screaming.

I was fully prepared to let her go the moment my fist went through her. The changes she's going through have me in a spin. I both love the shape she's taking and mourn for the wolf I had fallen in love with. The destructive maniac that would rather I hurt her than hold back anything she put in front of me.

Neither of us was prepared for what's happened.

As usual, Perry is the one taking the hit. It's the only reason why I agreed to what she wanted. She deserves better.

Before I can think of laying back my phone rings. I immediately reach for it in case it's Ed calling to tell me she changed her mind. No such luck. Godrick Savage's name pops up.

""Prince," I answer.

"Hey, man. Calling to let you know there's a meeting in the morning. I know shit has been wild after the funeral, but you have to get down here,"

"I'm heading out early in the morning. I was just taking care of a few last-minute things. What time is the meeting?"

"Ten,"

"I'll be there way before. Thanks for putting everything together for me,"

"No problem. Goodnight, Jonas. Drive safe," he says and hangs up.

A meeting means someone called it. He would have said if it were him. It's between the Vampires and the witches. My instinct is to call Perry and ask for her opinion. She'd give me a run around about how they all suck only to tell me that it's most likely the vampires who are trying to start something now that Lycans are on the table.

I sent Lilithian a text to show her I received her gift this afternoon. I look over at the crystalized obsidian I asked for Perry. She immediately texts back. It's the location of the newly built council hall near Nova. Along with the time the King gave me. I call her. "You were invited?" I ask when she answers.

"Of course, not," she scoffs. "I'm just a baby. I wanted to be sure you made it. My father will be there. He says the King has been locked in his room for a while. Do me a favor. Make sure nothing happens to him,"

"I'll do my best. Will you be on standby?"

"Always, Lycan King. That's what I live for," she says and hangs up
