Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

10:33 Sun, Nov 10 94% +5 Chapter 127 I toss the duffle bag into the passenger seat and take a deep breath. This is the first time I’ve been alone since I met Jonas. Despite my circumstances, it feels good. I reach for the radio and smile to myself as bad decisions greets me like an old friend. I hit the switches in a sequence and the car roars to life. I take the back roads and stash the car just outside the pack borderlines. I secure the duffle bag on my back and climb up a tree to get a vantage point. For a pack of traditionalists, they sure do have a lot of security measures. Laser outlines that are triggered as soon as someone steps through. The way the king explained to me how bringing the shift works sounds a lot like getting upset and since I don’t have anything to be upset about at the moment, I’m hoping my regular training is sufficient to get in there. I toss the duffle bag, jump down, and take a few steps back. I scan my surroundings and push off the grass in a sprint to jump through the two lasers. I hit the floor and roll on the grass next to my duffle bag. I loop it back over my chest and army crawl toward the nearby villas. I hate small packs like this because everyone knows everyone and it’s not easy blending in. I turn the bag and get up into a crouch. I look down at my phone tagging my location on my map so that I can get to the main house. It’s not too far from here. This place is actually kind of nice. A little too suburbia for me but that’s just because I’m so used to the city. White picket fences and award-winning yards aren’t my thing. The main house is one big Boston mansion masterpiece complete with a bright red front door. The red brick used is beautiful and it makes it easier to scale. This place is just as ridiculous as Cliffside. Where the f****k are the camer and security measures. I’m practically walking through the front door here. I slip in through a bathroom door and drop my bag in the tub. I take my favorite spying kit with me

and leave the bathroom. It smells like gingerbread and pine in here. There are lights along the floor. That’s going to be a problem. There you are security measures. A hunter-type Lycan definitely lives here. I can feel it. I gently close the door and move toward the stairs. I can hear two voices below. A man and a woman. I start looking through the doors to find some kind of study. All bedrooms or bathrooms. Who the f****k needs eight rooms in one house? Wild. I go back to the stairs trying to pinpoint where the two lycans are. I make my way down as if I belong here and find them in the family room. “Did she say why?” the man, who I’m guessing is the Lycan King’s grandfather, asks. “He knows about James,” the woman answers. “It’s that f****king wolf he married. She went and stuck her nose where it didn’t belong. Good riddance,” She is in for a rude awakening when she finds out I’m still alive. move around the house and take a br***onie off the kitchen island as I move toward the darker parts of the first floor. She might be a bigoted racist, but these are amazing. Finally, I find the study. I set up my program on their computer and start downloading everything on here. This study is a little Godfather. The walls are a deep red. It looks beautiful against the mahogany- framed borders. The shelves match. I read some of the spines. Lycan law and literature. Every author is a Lycan. I put my things away when the download is complete. My body locks up when a house phone rings. A fucking house phone. Who has a fucking house phone anymore? I rush over to a close and wiggle between the clothes leaving the door the way it was. “Gfahm,” the woman answers. “Honey,” she beams. “I’ve been so worried. Where are you?” I bring up my download and find the landline. My phone automatically starts tracing the call. She’s calling from her mate’s 10:33 Sun, Nov 10 Chapter 127 house. Called that one. Histen to the instructions she gives her mother. She had a backup plan all

along. Not just in case Jonas found out, but his father as well. She just gave me the evidence. It’s right here in my hand with subtitles and everything. 94% +5 When the woman hangs up, she starts to cry. The man walks in and tries to comfort her. The two leave together, turning the lights off as they go. The closet floor lights up around me and I groan to myself before I step out. I take another **nie before making my way up the stairs, slowly this time. I make it to the bathroom and once again ask myself why the fuck they would need so many rooms if they only had two kids? I sit in my car listening to the call and then send it to Jacob. It takes about ten minutes for him to call me. “You just can’t sit still for ten minutes, can you?” he sighs. “This is going to cause an uproar,” “I know. That’s why I sent it to you. I need you to come get Mackenzie. I’m going to have to disappear for this,” “The King isn’t going to like that,” “We’re going to have to keep this quiet as long as we can,” I agree. “Has Mack said anything to you about where she’s been?” “No,” he says tightly. “I’m sure you’ve noticed some changes in her behavior,” “You mean like she’s been reconditioned? Yeah, I noticed that,” “What I don’t understand is how she hasn’t started the final feral stages. She was almost there before Darren-” he pauses. “I’ll go get her. Where are going now?” “Lockwood City,” “It’s not going to be easy for you there. You’re a Lycan now,” “I have to talk to Tech. There’s no other way. Menekus is involved. Can’t exactly walk into his father- in-law’s house to drag the former Lycan Queen out without Eloise taking it as an act of war. You know how she is,” “Please, do not start shit with her. You should take Jordan with you. I can tell him to accompany me. I’m sure the King wouldn’t mind,”

“Let me get back to the suite. I’ll let you know what the next move is then,” “Be safe, Perry. I never want to feel what I did when the King arrived two nights ago. Kill us before you do it again,” he growls and hangs up. There are those damn eyebrows again. “Shut up, Darren,” I growl turning the car on. “I know. I know I f***d up,” 曲 0 This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
