Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

"It sounds like you had a lot of fun before you were mated," he says turning on his signal light to show the others we'll be moving again.

"Hell yeah. After to. A lot more when it was over. What about you?"

There's a reason why all the women in my home want to kill you," he sighs.

"It doesn't surprise me that you were a f***k boy. You're a prince. I know the Alpha King, remember?"

Not to mention the way he f***ks. He clearly knows what he's doing from experience. I thought I was going to struggle to keep up with him but he loves taking over just like everything else in our lives.

"I was arrogant. I had the world at the tips of my claws, Whatever I wanted, I didn't even have to ask. It was why my dad sent me to England. I loved it there. It was the challenge I had been looking for. No one treated me like the Lycan Prince. We were equal and growing together. I was done when James called and told me he wanted my blessing for him to fully mate his wife. They had gotten together shortly after I left. I believe they met in Nova," "Where all the rich-rich people go, 1 laugh. He grins. after her.

"Yes, she was undergoing the new Luna program there. Anyway, I went to see my grandfather before I headed back. He said a little American girl was stirring up some trouble and that he needed someone to watch his pack so he could He's never lived it down, you know. You slipping through his fingers,"

Tell him he wouldn't be the first to miss me," I shrug.

"He's going to be at the wedding and he's going to be even more mad to know that you were still mortal,"

"Do you miss England?"

"All the time. Sometimes I wish I never left. I wish I would have let him keep her. I should have turned around and gone back the moment he asked me to reject her. Evangeline was my mate, but she was a stranger. I didn't know anything about her. I regretted putting that mark on her almost instantly.

"She loved him, but the bond between us was really strong. The more I tried to pull away, the harder it pulled me back. She was the one who put that scar on Debora's face. Deb owned a shop in town. She moved to the new location after,"

"You are an absolute a***e." I scoff. "No wonder she was all crazy when we got there,"

"Yes," he grins. "You're the only person who thinks I'm nice,"

"Well, considering all the people I've known before you. You are. It doesn't change the fact that you're an a** No one is that perfect,"

"You make Darren seem perfect."

"He wasn't. There is no doubt in my mind that he loved me. I felt it every day. Even before we were mated. He always treated me like an equal. What that means is that he treated me like someone worthy to compete with him. He broke a lot of my bones growing up. I broke a lot of his. I used to wake up in the middle of the night afraid that he was going to come into the room I shared with Morgan to f***g kill me over all the dumb s**t I said and did to him.

Things changed when he shifted. He stopped coming around. He stopped calling me trash bag. He tried to apologize for everything he'd put me through and it made me angry at him. After, I understood what he was trying to do. But I didn't hold him accountable because I was there too. I did a bunch of dumb s***t to him as well. It wouldn't be fair "I didn't expect him to turn into everything I didn't know I needed. We stopped fighting each other and it felt like nothing could stop us. Maybe you weren't ready to meet her. Your life was perfect without her in it and you resented her when she 1/2 Chapter 62

showed up. Even when we were mated, he'd get mad at me for being better at***t than him. Darren and I grew up together in a place that might as well be a prison. I wanted things my way and he wanted things his. But the goal was the same. We needed each other. You seem to do fine on your own."

"Your stone was pink," he says after a while.

"Pink was my favorite color. I used to be kind of girly. Morgan has a lot of female family members and more than half were strippers,"

"Oh, that explains a lot actually, he laughs. "What?"

"The shoes, the guns, your style. You were raised by strippers,"Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"F****k you, Lycan King. You were raised with a golden spoon in your mouth and you're just as f***d as I am. Proof that we're all just flesh and blood. At least, my story has strippers and romance," we both laugh. "Why are you prying?" "I'm not. You're just the only person I know how to talk to," he sighs. "Go in the back and put on the protective gear. I still have to keep you alive until after the ceremony, Perry."
