Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter

59

As expected, there was nothing wrong with me. However, he did call Debora right after my blood work came back to tell her to never do something that s***id again. I bet he made her cry. I would have cried if I were still sensitive. He can be a d**k. Since Ally and Andromeda moved back to Ally's pack with her parents after what happened with the marks, we don't eat in the dining room anymore. I'll have dinner in my study. I have a couple of hours before I have to get out. I'm standing on the shelf table thing, putting what's left of my stuff on the top shelf. "You could fall through the window," the King says coming in without knocking. No one ever knocks. Maybe I don't get that luxury as a s**e.

"You had them bolted," I remind him. "Just like my balcony doors,"

"You tried to jump," he says setting the tray down on the glass table.

"You don't know that. And if my wolf did try to do that, you should be ashamed of yourself for driving us there. She's never done something that reckless and we're not exactly stable," The words almost taste sour in my mouth once they're out, but it's too late to take them back now. I don't think I want to. He tenses up when I jump down to reach for another box. "Be careful," he growls.

"What can I do for you, my King?" I ask opening the box.

It's one of our old boxes. I thought these were wire and computer parts. That's what it's labeled. Sitting on top is the first purse I ever bought for myself with the money I earned after graduating from my hunting program. It's a Ci***nam*demands my attention. *

"What? No," I say picking it up to feel how soft it still is.

I used to stash my guns in here when I got on the subway. I find myself missing who I was before Darren. Little Pernicious Nelson had the world figured out. Life would have been better had it paused right there. Everything had been so clear. Nothing was shrouded by the blood mist that's overtaken my existence.

"I asked if you wanted to have dinner downstairs," the king reminds me that he's still here.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

"No, thanks," I shake my head.

"You have two hours left," he says and excuses himself.

I unzip the bag and reach inside to find the matching wallet and a fifty-dollar bill. I've only ever come across this one. Sot kept it. Figured that as long as I had it in my purse, I'd never be penniless. I check the side pocket and find a little black velvet box. My heart starts to beat in my chest really fast as I stare down at it.

"What the f***k is this?" I set the bag on the shelf and go around to sit at my desk. "You didn't do that," I choke out. "You didn't,"

I open the box and I find a ring. Two hearts curving into one another to form a circle. Each heart is surrounded by tiny diamonds. In the center of the top heart is a pink gent and the center of the one under is black. The metal around the pink is white gold and the one around the black is yellow. I take it out to find our names engraved on the inside. I put it back and shut the box. I take it and put it in the armored suitcase and take the suitcase to the closet space and I shove it under the clothes. "Perry-"

"Is it too much to ask for you to ***g knock?" I don't mean to scream at him the way I do, but I'm losing my mind and he startled me. Treacherous tears slide down my face making me feel that much more pathetic.

"Hey, what's wrong?" he comes over to me.

"Please, go away," I growl. "Go away,"

"What happened?" he asks kneeling in front of me.

He reaches for the suitcase and I stop him. He removes my hand from his and takes it out anyway. He knows exactly what I found as soon as he opens it and it rolls into the side. He looks up at me and then opens the little black box. I s*** it from him, throw it into the case, and shut it. "Now leave," I growl.

He stares at me for a moment and nods.

"You should have dinner in your room," he says and takes the tray. "Come on,"

I follow him to my room and immediately regret letting him lead me out of the room so easily.

"Don't take it," I say when he turns to leave.

"It's not healthy for you to be looking at those things, Perry," my heart ***s when he says that. "I'm sorry, Little Wolf. I promise to return it when it's time," "Time for what?"

"Time for you to go home," he says and closes the door behind him.
