Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 191

I can’t remember the last time this many IOs were in one room without a kill order. I guess that’s not entirely true since the reason we’ve gathered here today is for that final kill order none of us have ever had the balls to take or even think about. Okay, I’ve thought about it a lot, but never out loud to the others I never expected them to be on my side.

We’re about to lock in on the labs with the bombs installed and my heart is pounding in my chest. Bunny and Roy are filling the chairs needed to complete the circle that will work to keep anyone from finding us while we arm each bomb from here before heading out to our assigned locations.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve seen one another,” Violetta starts to try to calm us all down. “But it’s been a long time coming,” she says. Roman and Baby are fidgeting in their seats. We all need out for whatever reason. This is how we do it.

“Darren, the piece of shit that he was always looked out for all of us. No one took our causalities as personally as he did. No one stood up to the old man the way he did,” her eyes meet mine. “I will always regret not standing up for him when he gave Liam the coordinates and instructions to issue that kill order. I’m sorry, Perry,”

“I knew,” I swallow the lump in my throat. “We’ve all had a hand in each other’s destruction. I’m sorry for the part I had in executing the Rogue King And aiding your father,” I look over at Knightly. “I’ve never met him personally, but I know how much you hate him,”

“What the fuck is this? A fucking intervention?” he growls. “When do we get to fuck shit up?”

“Baby is nineteen him,

sold. Shut the fuck up so we can calm her. She’s on the verge of shifting, you fuck,” Violetta snaps at

She’s not. In fact, out of everyone in the room, including Roy and Bunny, Baby is the calmest.

“I’m fine,” Baby says looking over at her brother confused.

“She’s fine,” Roman laughs. “Look, we all fucked up, but we’re here now. I killed the Rogue King myself and he was my blood. I don’t feel too bad about it. Just like none of you should feel bad about Darren. We all know exactly who we are and what we’re capable of. If they were still alive, we wouldn’t be here ready to burn all this shit down and Knight. If anyone should feel sorry about anything they’ve done, it’s you. You brought most of us into this shit,”

“Fine. I’m sorry,” he says gently. “For all of it. And yeah, I do feel bad about what happened to Darren. Enough to apologize to you personally, Perry. But not enough to pity him. I know that if he kept going, he’d be in the same position as the Rogue King. I’d rather it had been him than you,”

“It was both of us,” I look down at my hands. “You know that, right? He killed us both. From here on, this responsibility dies with him. We don’t think about the things he made us do. None of it happened. Figure out a way to deal with it. I will always be available to all of you if you ever need anything from me.
