Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)



Chapter 32 Jonas

I haven't been able to get what she said out of my f*** head all day. She has ties to the Royal Family in the packlands. How? Why? My blood is boiling thinking about it and I can't sit still to save my life. I've never met someone as difficult as this girl and she doesn't seem to want to grasp the danger she finds herself in.

Jo-

"Get me the information I need to get in contact with the Alpha King." I growl at Silas. He sighs.

"She said that to get a reaction out of you, Jonas,"

"Well it f*** worked. Sigh. Get me the number or email. Whatever the f*** I need, I glare back at him. He looks over at his assistant Floyd. He hands him a sheet of paper. "What was the f***g point of you telling me that if you already had it?"

"You're not thinking straight. It doesn't matter. Who cares if she is pull with the Alpha King? He's a f****g tool. It doesn't matter. Jonas," he sets the paper on my desk and waves his hand at Floyd to get out. "You're letting this bond get to you. I told you, man from the start that this **t was going to start weighing on you. This is the fourth bond you've had in the past four years. It's *** with your head, Jo,"

"Why is this one different?" I stare at the paper fighting the anxiety in my body to reach back in and I'm going crazy without it," "Without what?"

“Her f****g pain, Silas, I growl. The longing. The disgust she feels for allowing herself to be with me. It's torture and I

want more."

“F***k,” he sighs and turns away. I don't know what to tell you, Jonas. You're letting this girl under your skin. When the time. comes for you to get rid of her, you're not going to want to,"

"Why would that be an issue?" I regret the words almost as soon as they come out of my mouth and he sees it. He stares back at me with pity. "You know the answer to that, Jonas. Even if you marry her before the council. Even if she gives us heirs and females. She will never be a proper Queen. She's a werewolf. All she can ever be is your pet, he clears his throat and turns to leave. "I know she's perfect for the role. She hasn't been here long and I can tell you now that I am going to miss her when she's gone. We might be a dying breed, my King, but we're not going down without a fight. You used to understand that,"

gone."

He leaves my study without another word. I stare at the paper a little longer and then pull it to me. What am I even doing? I fold the piece of paper and slide it into the top drawer. I look up when there's a tap on the door.

“Come in, I call out. Perry pokes her head in without looking in my direction. I think I summoned her with my mind. Is that a werewolf thing? "Is it safe to come in or are you going to try and bite my head of again?" she asks.

"I will try if you keep annoying me, I growl.

She grins showing her perfect white teeth and comes in. I don't know where she got the outfit she's wearing right now, but I can't stop staring at her. The shorts lift her perfect ass up and really show off her small waist. It feels like she knows that as she comes in and turns around to gently shut the door. The cut-off shirt she's wearing barely covers her heavy breasts and the words 1 BITE are printed across her chest with big black bold letters Her short hair is pulled back into two tiny buns on the top of her head showing off a bunch of black piercings going down both her earlobes. They don't match the piece around her neck. Nothing she's wearing does. She hops towards me jingling

the jewelry around her neck, but it's not the only thing that catches my attention and everyone is f*g ***wondering why I've got such a h***-on for this girl. How the **k did Darren keep his hands off her? The answer is probably that he didn't.

"What do you want?" I ask averting my gaze.

"Nate is under control. You have access to the projects and if you choose, he said you're allowed a seat at the table as long as you take me with you," she places her tablet in front of me. I take it and start looking over the dozens of projects her part of the company is funding.

This girl has the world laid at her feet and all she wants is to go home to her mate. She can really care less what I do with her and his life's work. It hurt to lose my mate. It hurts now, but it would hurt me more if I lost my throne. If I let my brother ruin everything my family means to our people. I don't know how to deal with her. There is nothing I can offer her to make her less callous.

"Thank you." I find myself saying.

"You know how you treat me differently from everyone else because we're bonded? You should try that with everyone else," she says tucking her hands behind her back. "Wolves are all bonded. Even those who aren't in our packs. We all belong to the same spirit realm. It makes us all family in a way. I get that you guys are different and that you have traditions.

I'm not asking you to change them. All I'm saying is that if you're going to make it out there you have to compromise. Even if it kills you to do what's in front of you. What are you going to do when I'm not here anymore and I can't fix the problem, Lycan King? You have so much untapped potential and you're throwing it away for something as st****id as something your father forced you to believe in.

"As opposed to throwing it all away because of a jar of ashes, I shoot back. She tenses up and I regret what I said, but has a way of getting to me. "Right. I'm the last person you want to be lecturing you," she presses her lips together and nods.

"I didn't mean that," I stand when she spins around to leave

"Maybe, but it's out there now and it did what you intended it to she whispers and stops at the door. My stomach clenches tightly when she gets on one knee and bows her head before standing up again. "Let me know if you need anything else, my King. "Perry,"

She leaves.

All I can do is sit here because I don't know how to apologize to her. I've never had to apologize for *t. **I'm not like her. I'm not a werewolf. I've been taking care of my kind as a race, not packs. We're not linked the way they are. I've never felt bad about being what we are until now.

"Jonas," my mother walks and tosses the daily new letter on my desk. "What the f**k is this?"

There is a picture of Perry slamming a guy on a car with her shirt ripped open on the cover. The headline reads, NEW PET OR LAUGHING STALK and it's followed by several articles about the Local L***ic from Red Wood City.

"Did you know about this when you paid for her?" she growls. "We can't afford this kind of scandal, Jonas,"

"I didn't. I just found out this morning. How the f***k is this**t out already?" I groan.

"How are we going to fix this? Your brother is being considered for a chair in the council. You are just fueling the ammunition here," she growls. "The Valentines want to put up their shares for twelve million a piece," she panics. "I don't-" she sits in the armchair across from me burying her hands in her hair. "We're going to lose everything.
