Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 121

"Jo, I barely like myself. I honestly like you more than I do me. Do you really think I'd let some other a***hole put his hands on me? That I could stomach it? This is it," I point between us. "It's you or the convent. Do you guys have that? We have a pack called sisters of truth," "No, we don't have that. Abstinence isn't something we regulate as Lycans. We're beasts,"

"Well, Sisters of Truth is still an option. I think they might make an exception for the Wolf Bait girl. Deal. All in," I agree.

"Deal," he smiles and then looks me over like I'm some stranger to him.

"What?"

Nothing. I just-"

"Spit it out, Lycan King. Your Queen demands it," my heart flutters in alarm when he stands and steps closer to me.

"You seem so different. I'm looking at you and I see you, but there's this light in your eyes,"

"The feral part of me that kept me locked in is gone. That coldness and rage was her. I mean I still have that, but not like that. It both feels like I've lost everything and gained it all at once. Does that make sense,"

"Yes," he nods gripping the front of my t-shirt to pull me closer. "It makes perfect sense,"

His lips are on mine before I can say anything else. This new bond is suffocating. It's strong and with my mark on him, it's only gotten stronger. This isn't what I wanted. I still have my reservations about the whole thing and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to give him what I gave Darren.

very

idea of having this without him is killing me. I don't know, maybe this is my punishment. Maybe it's a gift. It sn't really matter anymore. Beating myself up over something I have no control over has always been the reason why I end up losing in the end.

It hurts that in order for me to see the errors I made, Crystal had to sacrifice herself. I don't know what she expects me to do this time around. What I do know is that I want to do things differently. I spent so much time angry at everyone else and hating myself for it that I lost my best friend. I ruined her. Turned her on me and now she's gone. I don't want to squander her sacrifice.

I can't apologize for the things I've done, but I can try to make them right. That's right, Crys. I'm taking accountability, you p**o. Even though half the s***t I did was you goading me on.

"You, okay?" the King asks when we land on the bed. "Where'd you go?"

right here," I say reaching for his shorts. "You're naked. My clothes are a problem,"

F*****, I've never felt this ***ny before. It's like my numbed senses are coming alive and I just want to feel them all. So far, being a Lycan is turning out to be... Lit. He tears away my clothes I notice where every piece of ripped cloth lands as his mouth nips and sucks all over my chest. I shut my eyes letting our bond overwhelm what little reservations I have left.

"Will you stay this time?" he growls pinning my arms over my head. He leans in gently caressing the left side of my body where the King's marks had been. He gets to my knee and then slowly trails up until he finds the little aching bud begging for attention. "What's left. Let me have it,"

"Take it then," I say, and I didn't mean for it to come out as broken as it did. His eyes come up to mine. "Take it because it's not exactly mine to give,"

"That sounds a lot like resignation, Perry," the words feel like a slap across the face. It was just a couple of days ago that I'd tried to hurt him with them. Word for word.

Mon,

Chapter 121

"You know what they say, Lycan King. If you can't beat him. Let him have what's left. He might surprise you," I laugh. 90%1

He hovers over me. His eyes are on the spot where his mark had been. His teeth elongate and I find myself wondering why the f****k I can't put my teeth away. I gasp when slowly pushes inside of me. It feels a hundred times better than it had ever before. He growls coming closer to lick my skin. He bites and nibbles irritating the skin there and teasing the bond driving me crazy. Just as I'm about to break I feel his teeth sink in.

I expected it to be a little like it had been the first time. His numbness. His darkness and pain. All of the words and actions make a little more sense now. Not that they didn't before. Fear and anger greet me along with a warmth I didn't think I'd ever find inside of him. For the first time since he started to fall, I believe him. The love and grief he felt in watching me fall apart are real. As our new bond snaps into place, our complicated emotions seem that much more, and then there's something I'm all too familiar with. Crystal's dominance. The beta call I had been missing since waking up. It's still inside of him and as his hips snap against my own I feel it bonding the two of us giving more than I deserve. I died his chosen mate, offered what I had left, and he accepted it. It makes sense that he'd inherit it the same way I had inherited Darren's. are-e

-There you are- I say in my head. He lifts his head to stare at me

"I can hear you in my head," he says shocked. Blood dripping down his mouth onto my chest. "Lycan's can't do that," "Darren was half Lycan," I place my hand on his chest. "Bonded we inherit our ranks. They're both inside of us. I'm not the only one who changed, I guess," I laugh feeling a lot like me again. "Thank you. I thought I'd lost her forever,"

Me too," "he smiles looking down at me. "Red looks so good on you,"

t's Crystal's crazy talking," I laugh. His eyes gleam as he leans in to lick at my bleeding wound. I feel it starting to heal. y not to let it get the best of you,"

His arm slips under me as he positions himself between my legs with a better angle.

"Am I going feral?" he asks.

"No, but power inside us will try to get there again," I cry out he thrusts into me with one hard stroke. "Let it out. Let's see how much more indestructible you made me,"
