Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 169

The King and I have been getting acquainted and I'm not talking about doing it. While he's a whole lot possessive, the man is a walking green flag. I've never been around someone like him. Even with all of his insecurities, he still manages to be an amazing partner and brother because Andromeda is a handful. Not as bad as Mackenzie given that she's insane, but she borders and it can sometimes be scary. I didn't expect that from someone as perky as her.

Today we welcome his idiot brother into our home. It's weird to think of this place as my home, but that's exactly what it is now. He's even given me room to put my own space together. The rest of the house is way too luxurious for my taste and I'm letting his designer do whatever it is that he does.

"Are you nervous?" Jordan asks when we return from our run.

I'm making us smoothies since the trip to the local one got us both in trouble. Bunny got a little wordsy when people called us a cute mated couple. The King was not any happier, but he was quick to let it go once Roy had his team take care of it.

"About having a stage one feral Lycan in my home with my very easily angered mate? Why would I be?" I laugh. "I think this will be good for both of them,"

"How so?"

"Jonas misses his brother and as much as James says he resents Jonas, I don't think he hates him. Their parents shouldn't have raised them the way they did. It's one thing having to train the King but pinning them against each other the way they did was fucked. It'll take some time, but I think they'll be homies again one day,"

"Optimism is a good look on you, my Queen," he smirks. "Even if it is batshit crazy,"

"The Scandinavian prime minister has signed the new council reformation;" Lillies tells the King when the two of them walk in together. "And with that, the bill passes in your favor,"

"Have Jeremy send him one of those packages for his troubles. I know the pack was against it," the King nods and comes over to me. "Is there any left for me?"

"Us," Lillies adds.

"Yes," I place two extra cups in front of them.

"I was wondering why you made so much," Jordan smiles.

Lillies and the King are usually dressed for business, but not today. They're dressed casually, like Jordan and me. Silas and Roy should be here with James any minute and the tension has been growing since I got the King to let me bring his baby brother here. "Where is Annie?" I ask.

"She's going to be staying in the Nova pack house with the other Luna recruits,"

"What is that?" Lillies asks.
