Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 204

I have so many questions. A part of me wants to obsess over this want to comb through the data piece by piece. Hunt down everyone involved. Tell the others.

Where would it end? If there is no ulterior motive other than to see what’s going to happen next, what’s the point of me hunting them? What’s the point of us knowing or being aware that we’re nothing more than little toys to an immortal asshole who thinks he’s some kind of God?

I’ve been sitting outside of the Lycan House in the council courtyard with Jake’s ashes in a black urn thinking about taking them to the sewage plantation to dump there so he can rot with all the shit the way he deserves.

Yeah,” he rubs my back. “Do you need help with anything?”

“No, the cool thing about being royal now is that people are literally stumbling over each other to do whatever I want them

to

“Yeah, I miss that,” he laughs, “I mean regarding the shit on those servers;

“They were transferred to a secure server. Once the money is added up. I’ll divide it up and it’ll show up on our hidden accounts. You trust me?”

“With my life,” he nods. “Any advice on what to do next? I never thought we’d make it this far,”

“You might have to hit the books so we can add you to the board of directors. I think we all need to be educated a little more so there aren’t too many surprises going forward,”
