Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 218

It’s been five years to the day since I was sold the Lycan King. For since I was forced to join an organization called FATE. Things have changed. I used to think the world was black and white. Split down the middle between good and evil. I knew where I stood on that scale. No one’s perfect and well, I’ve done some ugly things in my life.

I’ve been given a brand new perspective and I’ve been trying to make changes that I believe benefit how we move forward as society of Lycans. Both the King and I have made some choices we aren’t proud of, but the results feel like they’re almost worth the sacrifice.

Which brings me to today. I haven’t seen the King in a couple of days and I haven’t been feeling well. I know Oz said that it was unlikely for this to happen after she gave me the shots before my first official Lycan Heat, but here we are. Two months. and a half later.

For the second time in my life, my mind is waiting for my instincts to catch up with me because I’m already thinking of all the ways I can protect something that doesn’t even have fingerprints yet,

I am on a timer ticking down rapidly. In another week, my scent will begin to change. My body will begin to adjust to accommodate the life growing inside of me and given the size of its father, I highly doubt it won’t be unnoticeable.

I’m freaking out a little bit.

The last time this happened things ended badly for us. Me. And the fact that Jonas isn’t here yet is chipping away at the practiced patience I’ve been working on since becoming the Lycan Queen.

I don’t know how many times I’ve rearranged my desk trying to keep myself busy. As I put everything back the way it was when I started I start to feel a little agitated that Jordan and Silas aren’t here with the King yet. I have things to say and maybe cry a little because the situation might call for it.

“Why are you all squirrelly?” he sits up and tosses my blanket I am going to need to replace when he leaves.

“I can’t tell you,” I roll my eyes. He snorts and yawns while stretching

“Any word from my sister, yet?” he asks.

“No, assignments like that one take time. She’s gathering information and she’s with Ace. She’s as safe as she can be given. where they are. You swear he’s going to let her out of his sight,”

“Why are you so stressed? What did you do? You know my simp of a brother is going to forgive anything.”

“I didn’t do anything. I’m just nervous,”

“For his retum?”

“They’re an hour and a half late. Jordan is never fucking late,”

“Some habits die hard, huh?” he sighs. “Relax. It’s Jonas we’re talking about and the tweedles. They’re not going to let -anything happen to him. They’ll be here any second now,”

“Have you visited your ward?” I change the subject
