Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 91

"Vy, the vampire grins flashing her fangs at us.

ike Violetta, the girl can't be taller than five feet. Her hair is long, past the curve of her a***, and dyed in various pastel colors to look iridescent. She's wearing baby blue denim overalls with a white long sleeve decorated with little soft pink bats. No shoes. There are splotches of paint all over her outfit and some on her face. Vy asks her.

d we catch you at a a bad time, Cuz? "Nah, I was waiting on your friend," she looks at me.

I can

Her eyes are very pretty pastel pink. She doesn't look twenty-eight. She looks like a teen. Sixteen maybe. But her eyes tell a different tale. They look much much older than she claims to be. Her hair although pretty, it's messy and frizzy. There's a wild aura around her and feel the King's s displeasure through our bond. She is most definitely a threat. "Lady Warren, its a a pleasure to o see you again," I bow formally.

"Come now," she growls taking a step toward me. Just the sound of her flit swirls around me as she closes the distance in a split second. "We're kind of on equal footing now. You're the Lycan Queen. I like that. You've always been more than meets the eye, Perry Nelson," "Prince," the King corrects her. Those cotton candy eyes of hers snap to him and my entire body vibrates with alarm. "Don't, Puffball," one of her of her mates growls. She lets out a disappointed sigh and in a flash, she's holding his hand and rubbing the side of her head against his bicep. "We brought you a gift," !: say.

"I love gifts," she says with a menacing grin.

I swallow back the bile threatening to come up and walk back without taking my eyes off the King. I pop the trunk and step aside. The two vampires take a deep breath and smile. I keep myself from jumping out of my skin when the two of them are at my side and reaching for the package before I can even blink. mate lifts the package and tears the oxygen tubes out, tossing the tank over his shoulder. He threw it so far that it disappeared into the darkness of what I'm guessing is a garden. With her claws, Lilithian cuts the front of the bag open to reveal a woman. The princess lets out a wicked little giggle and leans in taking in the smells. The inside smells like ***s and s***it. If that's not enough to make everyone present gag, her fear and anger add a burned hair stench to the mix. That poor girl has been marinating in there all f**ng day. "Run," her mate growls taking a step back. The woman in the bag looks up at him with pure fear. She looks around and without a sound, she takes off running. Her mate places his massive hand on her little head and kisses the top of it. "Let's play, Puffball," "Bye, Perry," she grins at me and then the two of them disappear

"I'm sorry about that," her wolf mate comes down normally. "They get carried away when they're hungry. Welcome to Cross Manor. Alpha Dash Warren," he introduces himself. "Come on in We have some things to discuss before I give you your assignments," I shut the trunk of my car and follow him inside. I leave the filthy bag on the floor. There's no way I'm ever going to touch that again. The King is quick to take my hand and pull me closer to him as soon as I'm within reach. The inside of the mansion is as expected, creepy. Very goth, very vampire, and very abandoned museum-esque. There are cabinets along the walls filled with trophies of 1/3

I wish to get a better look. I've never been one to collect souvenirs of my kills. Unless they scar me. Then I have plenty em, but not like this. This is a different level of sociopath. Vampires are scary and I don't mean cute scary like the King and his people. I mean these things seriously don't give a ***k about anything living. It must be liberating to live that way. I dabble, but the lost girl in me wouldn't let me take things this far. There's just a level of ***ion I refuse to rise to. That package, it's taking everything in me not to try and stop what they're out there doing to her. Dash Warren leads us into a huge study. I expected something out of a Dark Academia novel, but the furniture looks like the basic white stuff anyone can get at IKEA. Even the desks and wooden tables. The decor is all cute with powder pink shades and fuzzy miscellaneous **. There are toys all over the place along with young adult novels, comics, and video game boxes. There are two seventy-tw panch TVs in the back wall with an enormous fuzzy pink bean bag bed in front of them. There is a baby pink controller on top and two more metal-shaded ones on the floor. A few feet away there is a massive canvas with a pink and purple Van Starry Night painted on it. I have to admit it's impressive. "Sorry. There a mess. I didn't know you were coming until a few minutes ago when Lily finished her painting. She's going through a phase," Dash motions us to sit in the pink living room set up obviously designed for the little vampire princess herself. The frame and buttons are buttons are gold. The fabric looks and feels expensive. I run my hand over the armrest when I take a seat. The coffee table in front of me is an old gold-plated Victorian masterpiece. There are dozens of little glass unicorn figurines on top of it. It looks like someone was cleaning them.

"Don't,"

"Sorry," she says and sits backhen she reaches for one. "My Puffball is very touchy about those sid things. I asked her to put them away but they're still drying."

"Bunny collects these," Jordan smiles. "She takes them out to clean them too,"

"Is bunny your mate?" Violetta asks.

"One of them," I answer when he doesn't.

"Good for you," she laughs.

The King grins as Alpha Dash comes over to us with two separate files.

"Which one of you is Perry?" he asks the King and Jordan.

"I'm Perry," I raise my hand.

"Oh," he says surprised. He laughs and offers me the black file in his hand. The paper is black with a rose gold print. "I'm sorry. I thought you were a man. You come with a very colorful background," "Sexist," Violetta scoffs.

"I meant no offense," he holds his hands up in surrender.

"It's

scool. Adds a little mystery to my whole thing," I say. "What do you have for me?"

"I've been reviewing your request for backup. Your strategy is remarkable. I can provide the men you asked for. The timeline

is perfect. I can prevent my guys from feeding for the next week and you'll have what you need on the day of.

"T

wanted to talk to you about the subjects we requested in the aftermath. Do you know how many Lycans there will be?"

"We don't know. I p*** the man off and the seemed adamant about killing one of us," I answer going over the targets for

"Little brothers are the worst," he sighs.

"You have little brothers?" the King asks him.

"I have an older brother and four younger ones. Everyone wants to be the favorite," he says tiredly. "Would it be all right if we pick off how many we want?"

"What are you going to do with them?" the King asks. Violetta and I look up at him disapprovingly.

"Lycan blood is a delicacy to vampires. I'd like to keep some on standby for my mate. She'll be entering fertility soon and their blood makes for stronger younglings. With us being so diverse, I want to be thoroughly prepared for our pups," he answers without offense in his

tone.
