Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 168 Jonas

The rest of the meeting goes uneventful. Perry, Jordan, and I are the only ones left after nothing was solved and a whole lot more of the Vampire King's bitching.

"You need to control your anger," I scold her. She lets out a loud groan and rolls her eyes at me.

"He started it," she spins around to face me.

"It doesn't matter. You chose this position. Play the part,"

I jump off the podium and head toward the door. Jordan goes up ahead while Perry stays behind me. I hate it. I want her at my side but there are a lot of eyes on us right now and if they see me show any kind of favoritism towards her, these vultures will pounce. "I apologize, my King," she says when we're outside.

"Just don't let it happen again," I shrug it off.

My phone begins to ping and Bunny drives up in our car. Lillies climbs out of the passenger seat and opens the back door for me. When I glance back at Perry and Jordan I see they already have their helmets on. Jordan takes the lead and we follow after him. Once we hit the highway back to Viper's Lane, Perry and Jordan flank the sides of the car.

"take it, it didn't go well," Bunny breaks the silence.

"Perry broke the Vampire King's front teeth and almost killed his guard," I shake my head. "He thinks we're the ones that attacked him,"

"Could you have prevented that?" Lillies scoffs.

"I could have," I admit.

I just didn't want to. A sick part of me wanted her to do it. That same part wanted to see how far she would be willing to go and I know if I had let her, she would have tried to kill him. Provoked him somehow to make it look like he was at fault and she had no other choice. The slap sound her fist made when it collided with his mouth was satisfying. As good as the crunch of teeth cracking. He has been running his mouth for months now and no one dared get in his face like that. I snapped. Perry's death is a sensitive subject for me. None of them have a right to speak about her in any kind of way. Especially not that fanged fuck.

Then there was that clap. I slight tap of her hands. Something that should not have made the impact that it did. She could have leveled the building. Not a single scratch was made. She also used that ability when she hit the Vampire King. He was completely unprepared for what she did to him."

The look on his face when she rushed him was magical. He went from not having a care in the world to having Perry as a potential life threat all in a split second. As someone who has been on the receiving end of her wrath, for a moment I felt bad for the old bat. He knows she pulled that punch. Had she taken a full swing she might have taken his head clean off his shoulders.

It was beautiful.

When we get back to the main house, Perry is after me like a mad woman. She slams the doors to my study behind her as soon as we're alone.

"What the fuck was that?" she demands. I smile and take a seat behind my desk. She doesn't like that. I love how she looks all worked up like this. You fixed that, Chapter 168
