Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 89

I pull up to the booth and reach for my license and registration. A guard comes over and motions me to lower the windshield.

"What are you doing here, Phurry?" she asks with a smirk.

I

"Do I know you?" I look her over. I don't have friends that have jobs like this one. Do I?

"Shelly," she says pulling her hat back.

"Oh, shit. Shelly Dawson. What the f****k are you doing here?" I high recognizing her.

"Mated. I have two kids so I'm going straight now," her face flares up. "I'm sorry for your loss, Perry,"

"I'm really proud of you, I find myself saying "That's wild. You're doing great. I always thought you were going to get yourself killed running for Roman," "A few of the others have. My

went through a lot to get me liere. I'm very grateful to him,"

"Thanks," she rocks back and forth bashfully. She glances over to the other guard and then leans in. "Those arent vampires, right"

No, Lycans, I smile. Her eyes widen.

"What the f*****k?" she whisper shouts. "You're still running?"

"No, this is my King. We're engaged and that's his st***pid little brother in the back seat,"

"Oh, my god. I am so sorry. Holy shit, Perry. You're the Lycan Queen now? That's insane," she squeaks. "I don't know what to say. Congrats but also I'm sorry," "That sums it up well, I laugh. "It was so

I seeing you, Perry. Try not to burn something down," she grins and hands my paperwork back.

she rolls her eyes and steps back. She waves us forward.

"That was kind of cute, your grace," Jordan chuckles..

"That girl was insane. She used to run with Roman Vivaldi and his crazy a** sister. They almost got me killed in Paris. Darren forbade me from ever taking a job that involved those two again. I'm glad she's not a rogue anymore. Those guys are being hunted now that the Rogue King is dead."

"Who killed him?" Jordan asks. "I thought it was nearly impossible to kill kings,"

The Hellion Triads and Roman Vivaldi,"

"I hate those f***ks, the King shivers.

"Nova is run by an Alpha Hellion," Jordan says.

"Yeah, and that little pack is one of the most important packs in the nation." I nod. They have one of the sickest Beta Hunter programs out there. Alpha Redwood didn't sign off on it or I would gotten a full ride,"

Chapter 89

"Why didn't he sign off on it?" the King asks accusingly,

"Because he would have had to pay my dorm. Nova doesn't allow their students to be work study. Training is brutal."

"It builds character," Jordan scoffs.

"Their wolves do it. The alpha

out out like that alone? Those things are nuts,"

"I've been on my own since I was sixteen," Jordan says. "I'm doing pretty well for myself,"

"You have?" this isn't a competition. If it were, the Lycans are in dead last.

"Yeah, I'm our village's top seeker. I have two fine mates and we own both art stores. That was all me,"

"I

I meant the since you were sixteen part," I

I smile.

"Oh, yeah. My parents disowned me because I wouldn't marry their friend's daughter. I made them break some old-a*** promise. They're the reason why the twins dated the prince. My parents forced me to reject them,"

"I'm sorry they did that to you," I glance back at him through the rearview mirror.

"It's okay. Things worked out anyway," he shrugs. "That's right

"You got it," he laughs.

you're the Queen's guard. Just don't say that in front of my friends. I have a reputation to uphold,"

"How do we address your friend?" the King asks.

"You don't. I'm going to go inside to get a package. I'll be in and out. Then we take it back over the bridge to meet up with Violetta and deliver the package to the vampire girl. She's def not going to like your st***id little brother being here,"

"You don

"I made a bad call. It's too late to take it back," he growls.

"Stay in the car," I say and pull into the biker's garage. I pull the e-brake and take the duffle from between the King and I.

"Sweet ride, the guy sitting in front of a fire pit near the entrance calls out.

"Thanks. Barnes in?"

"Who's asking?"

"Perry Phurry,"

"Oh, yeah. Walk right in," he relaxes back. With the fire lighting up his features, I can see he's completely bald. There are tattoos over the top of his head that come back down the right side of his face. "Your's is prettier,

ask him if we're acquainted because I think I would remember, but the idea of them talking about me like I'm st kind of weirdo is awesome.

The inside of the garage smells like burned oil, blood, and antiseptic. They're not fooling anyone and I doubt they care to. Ar***al Barnes is a sa**st. At least, he seems like it as of late. The idiot f***d with Vincent and it cost him his girl and their unborn baby. An accident. The explosion was meant for him. Chapter 89

Debussy's Reverie, L68 is playing from the little office in the far left corner of the room. I walk towards the sound of the music hoping this man is in the mood to be nice. The last thing need is for us to fight again. The King and Jordan would rip this place to shreds. "You're late," he says when I tap on the open door.

"Traffic on the bridge sucked, I toss the bag on his desk in front of him.

"It always does. You come earlier," he looks up at me with a glare F***k. He's in a mood.

"Can I have the package, please?" I dismiss him,

"You talk like that to your alphas?" he growls.

"What the f***k do you care? You're not my alpha," I turn my head so the light above his head reflects my marks. "He's in the car. You might not want to get me worked up tonight, Barnes,"

"Gio, give this b***h the package for the twins," he shouts.

My wolf pushes against my throat. I place my hand on my collar reminding her that if we shift, this thing would strangle me or worse. Rip my head clean off. She retreats and I have to shake off the sensation she left behind. "You're feral," he whispers taking a step back. "You should be put down. You know exactly what happened to Alpha Wolfe,"

Try it I smirk.

Thope your lycan knows what he's doing," he shakes his head. "You're contagious now. Get the f***k off my territory,"

*p***y," I sneer and turn away to get what I came for.

The bald guy hauls out a body bag equipped with an oxygen tank

"Gio, what the f***k?" I look up at him.

"Beats me, kid. It's been there all day. It moves sometimes. It cries a lot," he shrugs.

"Ugh,

"It's all

I shiver.

all yours," he hands me the oxygen tank.

inside. II tuck the tank under my arm, drag the bag over to my car, and pop the trunk. I secure the tank and lift the body up slam the lid before I can talk myself out of it. I go back around and get into the driver's seat. "Was that a body?" Jordan laughs.

"It was," I nod,

scratching my forehead.

I put in the sequence and start the car. A***ial Barnes steps out from inside the garage as I'm backing out of the driveway. He looks between me and the King and spits through his teeth. I raise my hand and flip him off. He grins. I must admit that ****I Barnes is a handsome man. Too bad he's a complete f****ng ***o.

That guy," I shake off the ugly feeling I get around him.

"That was a big a*** werewolf, Jordan laughs. "I should kill him for calling you a b***h,"

"Not if I kill him first," the King growls. I'm sure the Alpha King would understand."
