Chapter 219
Jonas
The first snow is here. Perry has been reluctant to leave the house since our son’s birth and today marks her first back to work week. Her emotions are steady now. I can feel when something is about to set her off and it’s like a winding sensation that wakes me up. My skin prickles with goosebumps when her anger gets the best of her. She’s been teetering on that edge all day today. I think he feels it because he’s refused to sleep all aernoon
Arielle is a strong baby boy. He looks just like her: big brown eyes, heavy dark hair, and a bit big for a newborn his age. Sturdy. Yet, he’s small enough for me to carry in one arm. I can’t bring myself to set him down when I hold him. His scent, his softness, and his fragile body all beckon me to make sure nothing bad ever happens to him.
There are still nights when I wake up and can’t believe this is my life now. That she sleeps next to me and peacefully I might add. Lately, when I wake up in the middle of the night, I’m met with her humming. She hums quietly as she feeds our son and rocks him back to sleep. I’ve never seen her lose her patience with him. When he’s close by, she’s all smiles.
My attention snaps back to Arielle when he kicks his tiny feet out I readjust him so he’s more comfortable. I glance back when I see something move behind me. Perry is sitting behind my desk holding her phone up.
“What are you doing here? I thought you were at the lab,”
“I got out early. Bunny found a mistake in her code and wants to go through the entire thing from the start again,” she bites her lower lip and sighs. “You look like a fucking villain contemplating your next genocide standing there like that. Lycan King
“Is it too soon for me to ask for
more of these, I turn around to show her the bundle in my a
“Baby,” she laughs and jumps out of my chair. I didn’t see you there. You’re supposed to be sleeping, she glares at me. He kicks out excitedly with the biggest smile on his little face and reaches for her when she leans in to pepper his chest with kisses. “Sorry, Kid. It’s Daddy’s turn and he’s kind of cute like this
“He’s been fighting his sleep. I think he was waiting for you,” I take him back to my desk and place him on the bassinet beside me. I take his blanket and tuck him to give him the remainder of his bottle. “You got upset today,”
“Yeah,” she sits down across from me, resting her elbow on the desk so she can hold her head up in the baby’s direction
“Would you like to talk about it?”
Vince doesn’t want to release the new watches until after Thanksgiving. I think we should mass distribute them on black Friday so we have time to properly distribute the luxury bands. I don’t think the blue ones he chose are going to do well if he releases them with the watches. I think since we didn’t make a lot we can rebrand them as limited edition. I promised Vy I wasn’t going to undermine him at every turn. He’s being so annoying,” she rolls her eyes. “I hate working with him,”
“What did Roy say?”
“He likes my idea better. He said he doesn’t want to release all the bands knowing that all that’s going to be left on the counters are the blue ones. The last thing he wants is to have them docked down to a third of what they cost to make.” novelbin
“I can wear a blue one for the summit next week,” I offer.
“I want you to wear my black and gold one,” she shakes her head “We’re going to match,”
“Why do you like poking at him?” I glance over at my phone when it vibrates.
“Pissing off traditionalists is a full–time job. Ask our congressmen she smirks. “I’m not poking at him. His idea would be great if we were doing two bands. Not four. I let him get away with the phone cases. I bet if I branded them with the OC logo instead of the Wolfe one, we wouldn’t have had the problem we did. I just don’t want a repeat of last year,”
This is really bothering her and I feel it in the pit of my stomach She doesn’t want to overstep her boundaries because keeping FATE from recruiting Vincent now that Violetta is also part of the team has been difficult.

A lot is at stake here and Vincent doesn’t know how dangerous this road is. I doubt he’d be able to adapt to it. He’s a traditionalist through and through. Telling him that his belief system was made up by a handful of wolves high on wolfsbane a few centuries ago would probably break him. There’s a record of that. It was one of the first things Perry came across snooping around in shit I’m sure she’s not supposed to.
“It’s headquarters,” I take my phone off the charging pad to see its Perry’s mother. She looks up at me and the anger in here flares that much more. We were given six months after Arielle’s birth and in a few days, it all comes barreling back in.
“I got one this morning as well,” she says quietly. “It’s been a while and we still don’t know where they are,”
“We knew this would take time,”
“I ignored it,” she says after a pause. “We have seven more days,”
She gets up to come over to us. She picks him up and sits on my lap turning her body enough so he’s craddled between the two of us. I have to admit that I’m worried about this myself.
The little snoop found her files in the labyrinth that is the FATES system. Everything up until being sold to me was planned by the Wraith. The only good thing Calvin Redwood ever did for her. The records of her overcoming every obstacle that was pur in front of her are impressive and the file is extensive. Before the experiment was renamed the Wolf Bait, it was known as the last Nelson
We’ve met a few of the others our rank and it’s known that most of them hate her. She has a level of clearance they’ll never have as both a member and the Lycan Queen. Those who have tried to reach out to get to know her love challenging her and she gives just as much as she gets. Since she brought Violetta in, the two have been having a little too much fun teasing the others. Especially Knightly’s father. I hate her being anywhere near that sick fuck at any given time.
“He’s asleep,” she says after a few minutes of silence. “You pucker your lips like this when you sleep too,”
“No, I don’t, I laugh. She curls herself up to lay him against her chest. I wrap my arm around her to secure them both.
“I could stay like this forever,” she rests her head on my chest.
“We should go to our room if you’re sleepy,”
“Too late, she whispers tucking herself closer.
“Don’t move. I still have a few things I need to finish up,” I say scooting into my desk. She mumbles something against me and relaxes.
“Perry- I growl at Lillies stopping her in her tracks. She lets out a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness,” she rushes out quietly. “She’s been driving me nuts. She didn’t eat breakfast,” she sets a big on the desk. “Vince is being a jackhole. Make sure she eats something. She needs that nap after the shit storm of meetings this week. Have fun,”
“Thank you for scaring her away,” she sits up with the baby in her arms.
“You faker, I laugh.
Ti still staying here, she leans against me. “I just needed her to stop following me everywhere,”
“Okay,” I say shutting down my computer. “I am clearly not going to get anything else done. Let’s get the baby to bed and you fed,”
Tye been thinking about what you asked when I walked in,”
“What?” I ask when she stands.

“Yes, it is too soon for you to ask for more, but we’ve been cleared to practice making more; she laughs.
“Yeah, we have a couple of hours before he wakes up again, I take her food off the table and the diaper bag “Let’s go
