Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 177

*I still want to go to the fight. I say when we get Cam to Oz so she can make sure that vampire bitch didn't mess him up too badly.

"I don't know if that's a good idea, Baby-Perry," he corrects himself immediately and I smile at him. "Sorry."

"Baby is fine. It's princess I have a problem with," I clear my throat as I approach the stairs.

"Can I ask why?" he stops me from going up.

Tonight has shaken me a little. I don't know what to make of it. I know what I felt and maybe it was my evil radar picking up on the vamps or maybe I've gone so deep in my paranoia that I'm starting to see things that aren't there because of the blue wolfsbane. Whatever it is, I have to talk to Ed about it.

"Darren only called me that when I stepped out of line or did something he didn't approve of. He'd call me his pretty princess and I honestly hated it. I know it's supposed to be cute or whatever, but I always knew he meant to hurt me because of my status in the pack. Years of competing against one another had this strange effect on our relationship and I think he did it to keep himself frott bitch slapping me across the face,"

"Okay, he gently caresses my cheek. "You know I'd never try to punish you like that, right? I'd tell you straight away if you do something I'm not okay with,"

"I know," I nod. "There's honestly not a lot of things that can trigger me. Darren's death and princess are probably the worst. That asshole had no right to say that to me. Alphas have the worst small dick syndrome. I swear to fuck," "You're sure you want to go to the fight?"

"Yes, I think we could use it. I love boxing. I just need to get out of this. I swear I can smell those things on me still. I also want to wear something I can move in better. You know, just in case,"

"Of course. Me too," he agrees. "Meet you down here in ten,"

I push up on my tippy toes to give him a kiss. He smiles and watches me rush up the stairs to my study where I finally have a fucking closet and lots of organizing space. I love this jacket or coat. Whatever. It has Underworld vibes and I'm not going to get over it any time
