Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)



Chapter 26 Jonas

This file contains the updates on her getting on the board of directors along with Perry's ownership papers. She did them through Lycan Tech. They're anonymous through Lycan Tech itself keeping her identity hidden. Since her official job title is head of recruitment. No one knows she works for them anymore

Unable to stop thinking about it, I lower my defenses, but I get nothing in return. The empty sensation worries me and I'm on my feet headed back to her room before I can think of it. Perry is sitting on the edge of her bed when I get to it. Dr. Alvarez is taking her vitals.

"Can you move your jaw yet?" she asks.

Perry looks up at her blinking rapidly and shakes her head. She has the urn sitting on her lap and she looks down at it as Dr. Alvarez kneels in front of her to massage her face. She looks completely out of it.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“Leave us,” I say walking into the room.

Because I didn't put any defenses up, I felt a sickening wave of fear come from her. She gets up and runs around the bed to hide her jan Dr. Alvarez looks at her sympathetically before walking out without glancing my way.

I don't close the door hoping it provides her with some sort of comfort. I don't care if the doctor hears this. I just need her out of thy way. I swallow back the knot forming in my throat and sit where she had been. I slide off the edge to sit on the floor/Pernicious Phurry's tears smell like salted caramel. I tilt my head in her direction when she peaks out from the other side just a little.

"I'd never take that from you, Perry, I promise. "Even if I were very upset with you. I'm not, I pat the spot next to me. here."

-I don't want to- she says backing away to hide from me.

"I'm very sorry I pulled away from you without warning, little wolf,

"Come

-No, you're not. You're only sorry because of the way your mom reacted. You don't care about me and I'm not asking you 10.-

"That's not true. I think we both know that by now. You're my friend,"

-No. I'm not. You're my owner and I'm a version of a pet you can use as you please.-

“F***k, Perry. You are not making this easy for me,” I sigh letting my head fall forward. "You knew what you were getting into when you agreed to be here. I never hid my intentions from you. This is a big a***castle and the staff I selected to ease you in here aren't enough anymore,"

-You could have explained that to me. You could have faked giving me an option. I wouldn't have denied you. I told you that when we were coming back from Red Wood. You did this to me on purpose. To humiliate me. To show me you're the master.-

"Yes, I did. You don't seem to grasp that. Come sit with me, Little Wolf. You know I'm not going to hurt you. I want to show you the other option," I turn my head over to her when she peeks out again. "Come here. Let me make this better,"

She takes a deep breath and then slowly crawls out from her hiding spot. She sits next to me and turns her head up to look at me. The first thing I see are the dark circles around her eyes and I see why I can't reach out to her. The dark shades of purple and gold in her eyes are gone. I completely pulled away from her. Enough to drain her of my energy. I didn't know I could do that. I don't know anything about f***g wolves. "S**it," I reach for her. She tenses up and I feel her anxiety flood through me. "I am so sorry, Perry," I sit her on my lap so her

back is against me. I wrap my arms around her resting my forehead on her back. "I didn't mean to leave you this. I just needed some room to breathe. There is a whole lot of you inside of me and I'm a piece of s***t,”

-I agree.- she says in my head.

"I don't know what's different," I tell her. "Why we're connected like this,"

-Do you want me to tell you?- she asks.

I sit up and pull her to me so I can look at her. She lays back enough to lay her head on my shoulder. Her head tilts toward me and I can feel her exhales on my skin.

Yes.

-I accepted you completely. No defenses or reservations. As you asked. My wolf considered you hers. All of you. She loved you. Especially the dominant parts, I told you we weren't the same. You're just not listening, Lycan King.-

"I don't understand what that means,"

-Because you're not like me. You don't care to understand. All you care about is dominating. That's not what a mate is and it sure as ***k isn't what a King is. We've known each other for fourteen days and you don't even know what I look like as myself-

"You're right. I haven't been very fair to you. I apologize. Please, tell me what to do to move on from this,"

-I don't know that we can, Lycan King. You didn't just break my trust. You broke hers. You abandoned her after strapping a collar on us. I think it's best if we're not friends at all, My King-
