Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 129 “I don’t know how to do that. I had a collar on before. I did things I thought the King wanted. I was following his lead,” “So follow his lead. He’s your husband,” Bunny laughs. “Your mate,” Lillies brushes my hair off my shoulder. “In exchange, we teach you how to Lycan,” Bunny pops a cherry tomato in her mouth. +5 “Why don’t we finish eating and I’ll sleep on it? We’re headed back to Cliffside in the morning. I’ll let you know what I decide once I speak with the King,” “I’m not-” Bunny starts to argue, but Lillies covers her mouth to stop her. “That seems fair. Given we kind of blindsided you tonight,” she agrees. Bunny groans and then agrees. “So, we’re not bringing it up anymore,” I point at the two of them with my fork. They both agree and go back to their plates. “So, you’re alive,” Bunny squeaks. “Are we allowed to ask what happened?” “I lost Crystal,” I move the veggies around my plate. “I’ve never gone into hibernation the way I did. I was home, but I wasn’t. Everything was right in front of me, but I couldn’t reach it. No matter how hard I tried. “She told me if I truly believed I deserved what was in front of me I’d be able to take it. All I could think about was all the mistakes I made. Everything I ruined and-I don’t know. It sounded a lot like she said she sacrificed herself because she thought I could do it. She thinks I can make amends. I just wanted it to be over and now I’m not sure what I want,” “I’m sorry for your loss,” the two of them say in unison. It’s a little unsettling. “So, you wake up after a near-death experience that has shaken you so badly, you feel empathy for the first time and the first thing you do is break into a packhouse to gain information on your mother- in-law?” Bunny laughs. “She’s a fugitive,” I defend myself. The two of them laugh. “And those people are racist as hell. I get a double free pass,”

“Most Lycans are. You should get used to it,” Lillies nods. “What about you and the King?” Bunny asks suddenly. “You’re like the Queen now,” Lillies snorts. “That is the greatest “Oopsie Glowup” in modern history. When people learn the truth about Redwood, the Alpha King is going to take a hit. Not the new one. His dad,” “Oh, Former Alpha King Savage is going to love the opportunity to come out of vacation. The last time I saw him he was playing golf with his brother and the two were trying to find any little excuse to fight. Their pups pushed them out very quickly,” “You know a lot about wolf politics,” Lillies clears her throat. “Would it be inappropriate for me to ask you to share that information with us?” “Not anymore. You’re probably going to have to add Wolf General Education to your schedules this upcoming semester. I’ll join you. I have to learn Lycirian and lycan law. This sucks. I actually have to f*g* work now. “You help one lost pretty boy and suddenly, you’re in charge of f***ing race that’s been in hiding for the past twelve hundred years. I am going to bed. I’ll see you guys later,” I wave them off. I hear the two of them giggling as I take the room Mackenzie had slept in. After a quick shower, I lay in bed for six hours unable to close my eyes. I slept last night after making our bond official. Neither of us gave each other a moment to think about it. I hold my hand up to look at the ring and bangle, 08:20 Wed, Nov 13. Chapter 129 @88% +5 I can’t believe this is happening. F***k, I am way in over my head here. Me, a Queen? It has to be some kind of sick joke. Not to mention half the other shit going on. I am going to deal with all of it. O go insane trying Truth be thought, I’m f****ing terrified. How am I supposed to do all of this without Crystal? In the midst of hell, she was my only friend. The only being I’ve ever shared the extent of my mind with. It’s probably what killed her. I did that to her, to us. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

I feel like myself, but I’m so used to reaching out to feel her. To check in on the animal I wounded so badly she started to lose herself in the darkness I’ve used as an excuse to just be the biggest piece of shit I could be. It’s all I had ever known. All I could offer her. Laying here watching the blue night turn into daylight, I feel empty. Alone. Surrounded by people who don’t know a single thing about me. People who are looking at me the same way he does. Jonas Prince was looking for a savior and while I did my best, that’s not exactly what he found. I don’t know if I can continue to pretend to be I’m this person. The twins sit in the back seat quietly. At some point, Bunny falls asleep with her head on Lillie’s shoulder. She’s tapping away at her phone. “Did you sleep?” she asks when she catches me glance back at them. “I can drive if you want,” “I’m okay,” I reassure her. “I read that wolf spirits are kind of like Lycan twins. Two parts of a whole,” I glance back at her to see her running her fingers through Bunny’s blonde hair. “I can’t imagine not having Tullie in my life. She’s everything,” “Can I ask you something personal?” “Given how much we know about you, yeah,” she smirks. “Jordan said his parents didn’t want him anywhere near you. I don’t see why it’s an issue,” “Jordan is a lot like the King In the linage sense. I guess if you put it into terms, we’re you in Redwood City Peasants and very defective,” “Because you can’t shift without the other,” “Yeah, and we’re not as strong separated. I’m the oldest. The strongest between the two of us. When we came of age, it was up to me to fix this. And I couldn’t do it,” “What do you mean fix it? How do you fix being two separate beings?” “She eats me,” Bunny mumbles in her sleep. “What?” chills break out all over my body. “I thought if one died you couldn’t shift anymore,” “If one of us died by the hand of someone else. It’s why James liked us. We were something he could keep locked away under the premise of our safety. Jordan tries his best not to keep us isolated. He put us in training and we’re really good at it, but all everyone ever sees is how weak I

am for not doing what was expected of me,” Lillies shrugs. “When we get home, I want a resume from both of you. Scholar credits, basic training, any kind of training. Specialties. What are you good at? Everything. That way I can decide if you’ll be helpful out on the field,” “Okay,” she nods enthusiastically. “What are you going to do?” “I need to get a hold of Alpha Tech Lockwood,” “You can’t just show up?” “I can, but it’ll look badly on Lycans. And I think Jonas is dealing with enough to add a f***ng ps***ho like Eloise to that, 08:20 Wed, Nov 13 Chapter 129 “I heard rumors she wants to target the Wolfes for the rest of the Wolfe Corporation,” Bunny says sleepily. “Over Violetta’s dead body,” I scoff. “Vy would burn all of Lockwood City down than let that happen. It wouldn’t be the first time and she’d make Eloise watch. She’s number two for a reason,” +5 08:20 Wed, Nov 13 ww. 88%
