Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)



Chapter 34 Jonas

I spent the rest of my evening looking up wolf customs and all I'm getting is traditionalist shit. A lot of it is adapted from what they call Lycanology. The study of Lycan traditions. I was aware that the council still accepted yearly wolf canditates as offerings and that it was allowed. Had I just demanded they land over the little wolf, they would have given her to me just because I'm the King. Same with anything other King. Alpha, Wraith, Vampire, Incubus, they would have just said f**k it.

Take her.

"You're looking into going back to school?" Andromeda asks as she glues another layer of tissue paper over a balloon.

"No, Perry brought up some things that made me think maybe I should read the manuel to these things.”

"You mean she said something that was kind of mortal and it totes bothered you. The thirty something year old dude who is going to live until he's like a million years old," she laughs

"Yeah, I growl at her

"Look. Jo. I don't want to tell you how to live your life or whatever, but your new girl harshes the vibe. Like she totes made Bun-Bun cry all because she fangirled. Tulips was like upset-upset."

"I hate when you talk like that,"

"If I say it like you, I'd sound like an even bigger b**ch. Would you prefer to have a quick laugh with me or do you want me to make you feel like s**t the way she did? Hand me the sparkles, please. I'm starting on Mars,"

"The red ones?"

"Yes, the red ones. And the orange, brown. Oh, def the black. I love a good black sparkle,"

"You seem to know what you're doing. What did you even need me for?"

"I was hoping she would do it for me. She looks like the kind of person you could trick into that kind of thing. You know, I act like I don't know what I'm doing. She growls at me and then is like let me and takes over,"

"I can't treat her like that. I'm bonded to her,"

"Well, then use your common sense, s**t*d. You bought this girl who hates the entire world because she thinks she's like this little mini-coding god. According to the Consvener Twins, she is. You put a collar prized Yorke.

ron her and you let

everyone treat her like a

"Stop doing that f**g *r**d," she rolls her eyes. "If you like her and you want to keep getting up in that, you gotta pick up on her habits. The clothes thing was a start, but eww. Where would I even put that stuff when I was done with it? It would look messy in my room. My room is my me space. Total relaxation and naps. That's all room should be,"

"Right, that's what I was thinking. She has a bunch of stuff in there already. I don't know how she sleeps, I agree.

“Well, like she doesn't have the rest of the castle to put ** in. Mother Moon, brother. You're kind of slow," she glares at me. “I f**g hate you. I don't know why I'm here,

“That was fifty bucks for the *advice, she calls out as I leave the family room. I'm gonna use it to get the metallic flakes for Neptune,

I only ever use the black glitter for backgrounds but the lady at the crafts store always convinced me to get the whole set. I have a **it ton of glitters in a drawer because I can't say no to her. She's elderly. Two thousand and forty-seven years elderly. I haven't seen Mrs. Jepson in a while actually. I should take Perry for shark stuff. I was serious about that.

Thu, Oct

Classical music is coming from her open door when I get to our floor. Something very soft and soothing. When I peek into her room. I find her sitting in front of the TV set with a laptop in front of her. There are two tablets connected on either side and her fingers are working over the keyboard at full speed,

"I heard the elevator ping," she calls out without sk**i*g a beat.

"Just checking in on you before I go to bed. You had a long day."

"Not really," she says and stops when the three screens in front of her all begin to change.

It's only then that she looks back at me. She's not wearing any makeup. There is a pair of tinted glasses sitting on her face. Her hair is still damp from a shower and she's got on a gold camisole with a pair of cotton pajama bottoms.

"Did you need something?"

"Not really," I shake my head. "What are you doing?" I walk in and sit on the sofa away from her. She turns her body to face me. "New program?" "Finishing an old ene. I found it in a box while I was cleaning up, she says. It does look less crowded. "I've got nothing else to do. Might as well." "You don't know how to

ow to relax, do you?" I ask. She removes her glasses and shakes her head

"Perks of being born blue," she whispers.

"Come with me." I stand.

To your room?

No,

"Mmm, I don't want to put a bra on and I don't want someone to get hurt because they looked at me weird," she shakes her head.

"We're not leaving this floor," I roll my eyes.

"Okay," she nods and slips on a pair of fuzzy slippers.

"What are those?" I ask.

"Coats," she laughs raising her feet. "Cute, right? I got them at the first store I walked in before Silas dragged me out,"

"He did that for your protection," I sigh

"I don't want to be protected," she says trailing behind me. I stop and she slams into my back. When I turn around to face her she immediately steps back putting her hands up. "Sorry,"

"Why are

are you afraid of me if you want to die?" *

"Because I know you're not going to kill me until you get what you want. I still feel pain. If I can prevent getting injured, I will. I promise I'm not trying to get you to f***k me up too," she lowers her gaze.

tip her head back with my index finger. She means that. The instinct to apologize is just that. An instinct from other times

she's been beaten.

“No one is allowed to kill you but me, Little Woll You belong to me. So, I will protect you until this is over. By any means. You are not to leave that elevator without an escort. You are not allowed outside without an escort. You are not allowed to get into one of your cars without someone I trust making sure it is safe for you to get inside of it. You are not allowed outside of the front door without me walking out first. Do you understand that? The second one was sniped from the front door,"

"I can't live like that. I will go crazy, Jonas, she closes her eyes as they fill with tears.

"The best I can do is keep go into the village, but he will still be there. At all times,"Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"If it's Silas or that cool one with the frost tips, I rather they be with me. It's not fair for them to play ninja in their own home."

"His name is Nolan and he's one of **la***s assistants. I don't like that you think he's cool,"

"He's obviously g****y,"

"He is the only man in our village who grew up surrounded by women. His mothers are the g***y ones. They did the annual heirs chase a few times. He has three sisters. He's just very- I don't know what word to use.

"Girly?" she asks. I give her a shrug. She said it, not me.

"He's vicious though and very organized. Silas loves him,"

"Question, what is the annual heirs chase?"

"It's an event we host for unmated Lycans or Lycans like Nolan's mothers to get pregnant during the blood moon," 18:14 Thu, Oct 17 BB.
