Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)



"I sense your aggression,"

"Maybe because my chosen mate is in one of the most crime-ridden cities in the world and he's relaxed enough to be **** sleepy." I mumble.

He chuckles watching as the uptown houses fly past us and turn into filthy apartment complexes. I park outside the safe house and get out to rub my body against the car and then gather as much spit as I can to spit on the windshield.

"What the **k?" he pulls me away. That's not very ladylike. You could have said you didn't like it,"

“I'm marking it so they know it's mine. Do you want to come down to find it gone?"

He stares at me and lets me go. I move around the car scenting it, I dust myself off and motion him to follow. The looks we get when we get inside have me on full alert. I growl at everyone as we step into the lobby. A woman inside almost falls over her own feet trying to get out. When the elevator doors open the guy inside with his mate pushes her back carefully gets out first keeping her f***d behind him.

"Perry," he greets me with a nod.

"Danny," I say without looking back at him.

"That's Crazy Perry?"

The stairs, baby," he rushes her out. I laugh as I type in the code to the apartment.

I walk directly to Darren's room and pull out the weapon cases. We need a couple of handguns. I make sure the big babies. are loaded and slide them towards the door. I get a wad of money from his safe and shut it.

There's a picture of the two of us by the doorway and stop as I load my gun and pull up my black pencil skirt to strap on my holster. I lift it a little more to wrap it around my waist to secure it. I fix myself up and smile at the old picture.

"Wish me luck, baby,"

press a kiss to my hand and then place it on him. I take in a couple of deep breaths taking in his fading scent. F*** I'm so sorry for bringing the guy I'm f****g here, but he's kind of clueless.

I lock everything down again and pull the cases with me.

"Take your jacket off, I tell the king and show him one of the new black leather holsters I found under the bed. He does as I ask and I help him with it. He stares at it like he's never seen one before. "Do you know how to use one of these?" I ask holding up the gun. Tell me now so I can teach you to use it really fast,"

"I know how," he says taking it from me to check if it's loaded. He flips the safety and then tucks it into the holster, I've just never worn something so constricting.'NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“Oh, turn around. I'll make it bigger, he turns around and I adjust it. "Better?"

"Significantly,"

Put your jacket on. Don't take it off again until we're headed home, I instruct him. "Help me with one of these," "Sure," he

says and takes one of the large cases. "What's in these?

"M-10s and ammo, I answer and wait for him to get out of the apartment. He steps out and I lock everything up again. "Will we need them?

"I hope so," I smile at him

CH

There is a small crowd taking pictures in front of his car. They all jump back when he pops the trunk open. We put the cases inside and then shut the door before going around. He opens my door for me, but he doesn't buckle me in this time. He doesn't like the crowd. At least, he's wry, llock the doors and press the steering wheel to get everyone to move the fuck out of the w

"Breakfast?" he asks.

You got it, my King. What do you feel like eating?"

“A lot of food." he admits. "Your choice. This is your city after all, Crazy Perry,"

"It's better than my nickname as a kid." 1 admit..

"What was it?"

Trashbag. Everyone called me that because I had to haul my trash bag full of things through the city when Monica took me home with her. They couldn't afford a car so we had to walk. It's why I have thick thighs and a nice a***Walked and rollerbladed everywhere. It's easier to get away with **t when you're just a figure in a hoodie,"

You committed crimes here as an adolescent?"

Tve committed crimes here since I was in third grade. Never stopped. Never will. That's how you get past the system. You learn it. You live it. You try to take it down one piece at a time. That is what the new world order is going to look like, my king Those smart enough to know they can do better than the fat-rich fucks keeping us complacent will kill them one by one if they have to. They're not even going to know who or why. That's how overlooked everyone here is,"

"Through violence?"

"Violence is our love language. There is no peace without it. It's a good thing that there aren't a lot of your people or this is what your cities would look like. Overpopulated with no soul. No love or respect from the people you are meant to lead. You've never had anyone like me in your village because you're a good King just like your predecessors.

"You have my respect because your home is beautiful. Your people can be who they were meant to be. Red Wood City is magnificent. You'll never be bored, but it's dying. Tainted by greed and false leadership. You know it's going to **k you up when this is over, but you're not going to hold back because it's this or death. I'd do anything for an alpha with an ounce of your resolve, Lycan King,"

I stop to get us breakfast platters at Tom's Diner. A lot of food and it's the best in the city. He eats so properly. It catches the attention of those who walk by us. Not that he needs that. The man doesn't belong here and it's obvious. The King seems to lighten up now that he's fed and as we both stand in front of the Lycan Tech Tower. I can't help but be a little proud of something since I've met him.

The king has only ever seen my shame and this is one of the parts that I can never be ashamed of. I used to be a little orphan girl who believed that the sky was the limit. I always knew I could make a difference if I were given a chance.

My mate gave that to me. Even before we knew. He was hard on me and it would bother him that would try to take shortcuts. He'd say there are no shortcuts in life. He was wrong, but I let him teach me. It meant a lot to him and it was the first time someone was taking the time to teach me something other than discipline

Lycan Tech was the baby we built. It was a two-story storage place when we started to work here and over our two years with them, the former boss, Mathew Renner was able to buy this building to expand our lalis. To bring in more people. He wanted to hand it down to Darren because he knew that only Darren would take it past what Mathew had dreamed of.

Nate was the alpha Darren wanted to use to push the alpha family in charge out. When he died, those plans died with him. Nate doesn't trust anyone. He grew up alone like me and after all the **it I've pulled, he doesn't trust me either. Not like he

used to.

"And the prodigal daughter returns." Nate greets us with a huge grin on his face and his arms out for me. I laugh and hug him. His eyes immediately move down to the collar. He lifts the ag and the smile on his face fades. "So, it's true then. That mo****er sold you to the Lycans," "Yeah. I say taking a step back. "Nate, this my master. Lycan King, Jonas Prince."

"You know the building better than I do," he says ignoring the giant man behind me. "Show him around,"

"You're not getting away that easy, Nate. I'm not always going to be able to come with him. You have to find a way to get along."

"I don't want anything to do with them,” he growls. The King responds and I put my arms up to keep them from fighting. T only accepted because it's you "Nate, we need this."

“I don't need this," he scoffs and turns to leave.

"You do if you want to get Calvin the f***k out of here, Alpha Nathan,” I growl. He stops. “I know you've seen it, Nate. The vampires are tearing them apart already. All it took was flashing my collar around. You know we were the last line of defense for the people here. We made a promise," “A promise you f***g broke, he shouts, turning around to face me. "And now you want to come back talking about our people: "Not ours. Yours, I correct him. "I don't count as a wolf anymore I'm owned,"

"And what? Your master is just going to walk in here and give me what I want? That," he points at the King. "Is a f***g monster, Perry. His brother almost killed the entire board in Thailand and it was just him, TB. One of those things leveled my building."

"Nate, that's what I was purchased for. He needs to get married in the Lycan Council to ascend his throne. To save his family and his people. You know that I would never bring him here if it meant hurting us. We built this place. You, Darren, Mack and me. I'm sorry for leaving you the way I did,” “No you're not, he scoffs. “You're saying that because that's what you think I want to hear. Tha**it might have worked on your mate, but I'm not him. No matter how much I love you. How much I want to save you. You made it very clear you wanted nothing to do with anyone, but that f***g bottle. Why should I trust you?"

“Because we both know that I'm the only one who will do this without killing you at the end of it. I'm not here for you. I'm here for him," I point at the big guy behind me with my thumb. He doesn't want this s**ty city. The man has an entire kingdom devoted to his every whim and James Prince is standing in his way. I hate to be the damsel here, but if you don't help me. This guy is going to kill me, Nate,"
