Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 155

Jonas

It's been weeks since I last held my mate in my arms and like a fiend I'm desperate to see her. I'm currently standing in the nightmare apartment she's kept from the world. Perry's wolf scent is everywhere. I mean everywhere and there's nothing else because this loft is air-sealed and maintained at a certain temperature to ensure that the things inside don't get damaged.

Knowing what I do about Perry, I expected something crazy, but this just takes the cake for all the other insane shit she's revealed.

The loft is three stories high. The walls are all white with pretty blue stripes and Hello Kitty bows. Upon entering, the first thing that greeted me was the Hello Kitty-shaped high-back sofas that look expensive as hell. The center of the room is framed with a giant red bow and in the center is a mirrored coffee table in the shape of-you guessed it a fucking bow.

I drop some of the things I've found on the table for her to open when she comes back and sit down to take this madness in.

I don't know how this fits into Perry's personality. It's so well hidden that even as I look around to see that even the floorboards are Hello Kitty themed, I can't see her standing here in love with all this shit.

The Kitchen is insane. The fridge is pink and covered from top to bottom in magnets. I open it to find bottles and snacks inside. In the freezer, the ice ia shaped like bows and other characters. There are ice pops and limited edition ice cream xes. I shut it and open the cupboards. Mugs, glasses, plates, bowls, more snacks. The sink knobs are Hello Kitty head d one blue.

As I go up the stairs, I find pictures of her in other Hello Kitty-themed locations. In all ages. It's just her. I take the very first one from the wall. Fuck, she can't be older than fourteen in this. For the life of me, I can't imagine Andromeda out there doing half the shit she's done all alone with no one to protect her. I love the way she's smiling. She looks like a kid having the best time and I love that this bat shit crazy crap gives her that.

Each room is something out of a kid's wildest dreams. There are shelves with little figurines, themed lunch boxes, school supplies, purses, shoes, and skincare products. The bathroom is just as crazy.

When I get to the master bedroom on the third floor, it's more than obvious that she never had a chance to finish this room. There's a huge shelf hung in the middle of the wall in the shape of the cat's head. In front of it is a gaming setup. All pink and to the theme. But the books on the shelf caught my attention. I step into the room and the lights all come on.

It's not that she never finished this room, it's just that she uses it for more than the jabs at her childhood trauma.

On the wall next to the desk is something right on point with Perry's eccentric personality. The houses at court. Each one is labeled and properly researched. Information upon information of the Kings and their closest confidants. Numbers, locations, bank statements, and abilities.

"Pernicious, you little fucking terrorist," I laugh.

"I can't get anything on your location. What did you find?" I hear Mackenzie in my ear. I forget she's here.
