Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 188

Getting Violetta on our side feels a lot like we’ve got this shit in the bag already. If I’m being honest, if I had to go up against her, I don’t think we could have made it out unscathed. I was going to have to give someone up and how everything is set up, I was going to throw Knightly under that bus. He has two alpha fathers and his mom is a lawyer baddie. He would have been

fine.

Before I can present what I am hoping is enough for the vampire princess to help us, I need to get all the information I have on the labs in order. Which brings us here. To the Hello Kitty dream loft.

The King hasn’t released my hand since I got back to our hotel after talking to Violetta. She seemed to be in a better head space when I left. She even said she was going to try to get as much sleep as she could before helping me. All I need now is to send out the locations I need everyone in and get the vampires on team fuck the wraith up.

“What are we going to do here?” he asks once we’re in the private elevator.

“This is where we’re going to hide out until everything is ready. Think you can handle it?”

He grins taking in a deep breath as the doors open up. I haven’t been here since I found out I was pregnant. Fuck, it both feels like it was yesterday and a really long time ago. I’ve never brought anyone here, but when I thought I was done for, I knew the King might need a place like this one day. Maybe to hide or run away from the buzzing of his responsibilities. That’s what it’s designed for.

“Where did you get all this stuff?”

“I’ve been collecting this stuff since I started hacking the ATMs in Redwood. I didn’t get into it this bad until I was fifteen and I read about that Hello Kitty mansion turned hotel in Taiwan. I wanted one.

“This was the first investment I made once I completed my training. I was fourteen and a twelve–story publishing building turned loft space really tickled my creativity. This is where I run away to. It’s low–income and since I pay for the utilities, most of the tenants that live here are loyal. No one says a word if people come asking questions,”

“I did get odd looks the first time I came here,” he smiles.

I stop when I get to the living room. There are bags all over the table and boxes. I spin around to look at him. He smiles and shrugs.

“What is that?”

“Mystery boxes and toys I found. You were right. Once you start it’s hard to stop,”

“You didn’t open them,” I laugh.

“I think I’d get more out of watching you open them,”

“You’re ridiculous,” I shake my head.
