Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

"You have got to be f** kidding me," he rubs his head frustratedly.

"My King." Eloise says gently trying to calm him. "What happene). Perry?

"I made a scene and Calvin offered me up as wolf bait to the Lycan King. It's nothing to worry about really. Our objectives align with his," "What does that mean?" the King asks.

"I think I found who's been robbing the federal wolf banks all over the world," I plug my tablet into the ports in front of me. James Prince, "The Lycan Prince?" Eloise asks.

"Yes I take a deep breath and let it out slowly. Tve recently been granted access to Obsidian Corp's finance database,"

"He granted you access? Why? You're his slave, Eloise says that last part with disgust.

"Yes, but he didn't want a slave for what they usually do. Whatever that may be. The Lycan King and his brother have gone to

war over a mate."

"A

A mate?" the King asks.

Yes, sir. Apparently, the prince met this woman and married her while the king was training overseas. They wanted him to attend the marking ceremony and when he returned the female turned out to be the King's mate," "Even with the marriage, the prince wouldn't have a claim, Eloise says. "Fated are absolute unless both parties reject one another."

and that didn't happen. The Prince went feral. Lived in his Lycan form for a little over two years before the former Lycan King located him and took him home. The Prince killed the King's mate, their unborn child, and the former King," the King shakes his head. "How How do do our objectives align, Perry?" Eloise asks.

"James is the reason Obsidian Corp is falling. The King can't take his rightful place without a mate. He has to get married in the council temple. The only thing is that every time he gets close is, James, waiting there to stop him. I believe he's using the stolen money and the reserves from O.C. to pay the council to push the King out of his position. I am the fourth attempt at his coronation. He's killed the other three potential mate candidates." "Holy s***t, Perry. What the *** did you just stumble into?" the King mutters.

"Sir, this works in our favor. The Lycans are blasting me all over their social media. The people here are upset about the collar. I place my hand over it.

"How do

There's an alpha who designs their clothes there. Her name is Calico Jamerson. They tag them. Not like this. I think I lucked out being bought by the King, but they weren't they reprogrammed her into submission. I've never seen anything like that in an alpha,"

"Did she say how she was acquired?" the King asks.

"What do you mean tag them? Like you?" Eloise asks.

"No, if you pull up her profile on the Quick Howl app. You'll see what I'm talking about. It's not hard to miss."

"They tattooed her face," she says horrified. "They do this to all of them? They can't do that to you."

lat" I say.

"The King refused to place liis marks on me that way. It's why I have this collar," I say.

"We have to get her out there, she says.

"There's nothing we can do," the King shuts his eyes. "It's part of our treaty with them. I am so sorry this happened to you,

Perry,

"It's not all bad. The Lycan King is kind of a sweetie."

"They're not mistreating you?"

"In no way. At least not physically. They refer to me as their pet but in all honesty. It could be so much worse. I've proven to be an asset and as long as I get them what they want. I should be safe," "You put him on the Lycan Tech board. Do you trust him?" Eloise asks,

I do. I-1 clear my throat and pull at my collar. "We've bonded. He's just trying to help his family. To save his people. Just like us. He's been doing his best to keep O.C. afloat. Trying to byp** some of their laws to make sure the people are safe and getting what they need, but there's only so much someone can do with their hands tied behind their back. I think he can be an asset for you, my King. You can be the first King to align yourself with them. Properly. He's not a bad person, just a little socially awkward by Wolf standards," "How do do we proceed with I with the alpha situation in Red Wood City he asks. The situation is taking care of itself. The alphas here are on the move. Nate has agreed to carry on the plan he and Darren. came up with," "Will you be joining him? Would the Lycan King allow that?"

Temporarily, sir. The The King is very possessive. He's lost four mate bonds in the last eight years so he's overprotective and paranoid. He doesn't like letting me out of his sight for more than a few hours. He's with Nate now or he would be here in my f** face telling me what I should and shouldn't be doing "That must be rough, Eloise laughs. "I know you like being on your own since your mate's passing. Are you sure you're okay? I can send someone to assist you,"This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

"I'm okay for now. But I might take you up on that offer once I locate the prince,

she nods. "Anything you need to help this along. Can you link me to the tracker on your collar?"

"Of course," she

"He has an app.

I've never seen anything like it. I'm going to try and get into it. I'll let you know as soon as have something. It's one of the reasons why I agreed to a meeting today. I came to get some equipment."

"Good," she nods.

"Anything else you wish to disclose with us, Perry?" the King asks

"Thank you Alpha Eloise. I'll be sure to inform the Lycan King. Thave to go, I check my phone to see that I've left Nate and the King alone for a little over two hours, "I need to make sure the King hasn't killed Nathan," Be safe, Perry, the King agrees and hangs up. Eloise stays on for a moment longer.

"If you ask. I will do everything in my power to get you the ****k out of there. I've taken on Lycans before. I would hate for that to happen to you," "You're very kind, Eloise. Anyone ever tell you that?"

"Never, she shakes her head.

"I'm seriously not being hurt. My ego is taking a couple of hits but that's the extent of it. I promise."

"Good. Let me know if y

if you need anything else. I'll be available to you whenever you need me. Don't hesitate to call," she nods and hangs up.

Nani comes in with a bunch of files with **it I need to sign. I start reading over things and decide that I don't f***g about anything and just start signing until I see something that bothers me.

"Where are they?" I ask

Upstairs waiting on you," she says quietly.

Did you know about this?"

"Nate announced it a couple of days ago, she nods.

"Who is taking his place?"

"Per slam my hand on the table.

Veronica Amille. She's there with him, she adds.

Veronica Amille is standing there with him as I place the file in front of him in his office.

"To do what, Nathan?" I shout. He looks down at the floor without answering n "And you were going to hand it to this b***h!"

"Yes" I scoff. "What qualifies her to run Lycan Tech, Nathan?"

"I don't care, he shrugs.

k you. You want to throw it all away then?"

Oh, so because I didn't want to f***k y "Don't t do something f***d up, Perry. I am tired of your s***t. We were supposed to run this company as a team. The four of us and I am all there is left. You're not the only one who lost something, *b****h. I want to start living my life away from all this f**g emptiness. You don't want t t to move on and that's fine. Do you, Pernicious. You seem to be doing just f-" The sound Veronica makes when my claws cut across her throat silences him. I didn't mean to cut as deep as I did but her head falls back as blood is sprayed all over his desk. I put my foot on her back, yank the rest of it off, and place her head on. the tabletop. You made a f***g blood oath, Nathan," I say calmly. "You're not going anywhere and sure as ***k not handing my company over to this ***k-s***g***h just because she was a really good lay. Now you're going to take this head and you're going to send it back to her family. Explain t to them that you got this woman killed for being a f***g idiot. You're not the only one trapped here, Nate. If you ever talk to me like that again, I'll take more than your little side piece. How long do you hink it will take you to grow that disgusting thing between your legs back, Alpha?"

I don't want to be here anymore, Perry," he says with tears sliding down his face.

I never wanted to be here, Nate. You best hope this doesn't get out to the old man. You have no idea what he's capable of. ou got off easy. Try it again and I will call him," I wipe my hand down the front of his coat. "Clean this s***t up. You know Darren hated it when I made a mess," Does this conclude our visit for today, Little Wolf?" the King asks
