No one in town is allowed to sell me any food, but I can go to the book store, tech store, and art stores. There's more than one. I spend a lot of time in all of them when I'm not in the dome. The old folksy buildings are super cute and since killing the artist and attacking the King, no one bothers me anymore. They still treat me like a pet, but no one is actively trying to kill me.

that progress and an opportunity to show off the purses Alpha Calypso sent me. This black one with little tiny locks on it is my favorite. She's been outdoing herself since she heard that I fell in love with the dress Debora made. "Do I have to change?" I ask because I've been in the dome all day teaching the Lycans how real coding is done.

"No, you look good like this," he says glancing down at me.

I look down at my fitted black skinny jeans and matching vest over my checkered button-down. I shrug knowing that we're probably not going too far. A black Jeep Gladiator is waiting for us when we leave the castle. He lifts me up into the seat and buckles me in as always. I glance back into the back seat to see some of my gun cases. "Where are we going?" I ask. Four more trucks pull up behind us. Did he get guards after the last time I made a big deal out of it? Nice. Good for him.

"You need a passport and I can't have anyone outside of the village come here to get you one," he says

"I have one."

I have one,

"Is it up to date?" he pauses looking over at me.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

"Passports expire?" I didn't know that.

"Yes,

Perry.

When was the last time you used it?"

"Darren was still alive," after the last one, I hadn't gotten a call from the old man.

"You

"He didn't take me anywhere. I went to Thailand to recruit a couple of guys the Old Man needed on his side to expand that, way. You ever been?" when did you go to Thailand?"

Yes,

"Winter twenty-fifteen,"

"You blew up the abandoned theater in Bangkok," he laughs. I tense and turn to look at him.

"How did you know that?"

"The locals were talking about an American b***h chasing down these two rogues who were wanted by their secret service pack wolves,"

"Oh, yeah. That was me," 1 laugh. "You were there?"

"Yes, it was right before I went home after London. My grandfather lives there. He has a treaty with the six alphas there. They wanted us to hunt you down,"

"Ha. You wouldn't have been able to catch me. I was fourteen. Hadn't shifted yet and was the best at sneaking into places no one else could. I still had a mortal scent-and you know they all smell the same,"

"They had you out on the field before you shifted?" 08:24 Fri, Oct 18

I was doing worse things in the city. The Old Man forced Alpha Adrian to let me into the hunting academy when I was thirteen,

"And Darren allowed this?"

"He was only a couple of months older than me and he was mad that he wasn't the one chosen to go into the hunting academy. We didn't know we were mates and he didn't tell me until I shifted. You always manage to get little bits of information out of me. Why don't you tell me something about you? What were you like before your mate?"

"I

I will if you tell me how you got the scars on your body," he counters without missing a beat.

If

"Why is that important to you?" I scoff. From day one.

"Something big tried to kill you, Perry. And you survived. I'd like to know what it was,"

"A gorgon," my hands shoot out in front of me when he hits the brakes hard. "You f**** drama queen. What the f***k?"

"You were attacked by a gorgon and you're sitting there alive, fleshy, as if nothing happened," he growls. "No one survives a f**** my chest where the seatbelt locked and crushed into my skin,

"Sir,

someone knocks on th**e glass.

"F***k off, Billy. I'm talking to my wolf," he growls. He nods and steps away from the car. "How?" How did I survive?"

"Yes,"

Yes,

"I didn't intend to. She showed up in the sewage system in downtown. No one wanted to go down there. Six blocks were closed off and evacuated. The city was cramped enough as it is and crimes started going up. "I wore reflective glasses to protect myself from her eyes. She was young and hungry. I had just turned twenty. Darren had been dead for a whole year and Mackenzie left us. No trace of her. Jacob was in rehab after he ODed and I was angry. I didn't want to make it, but 1 also didn't want to leave that thing down there. She was luring kids to their deaths.

"The scratch on my back kept me from shifting. I never intended to. I gave her clean openings to kill me and she took them When her claws went through my chest. I ripped her throat out closed my eyes and waited to bleed out. But I woke up in the hospital the next day. Calvin had followed me down there and he took credit for it. Told everyone I was the one that brought it into the city," "Why did he save your life?"

"I don't know, Lycan King. But it wasn't the first or only time he did it. He'd laugh at me every time I woke up in that hospital. If I ever catch him with my bare hands, he's going to feel the wrath of four or five alphas crush his entire f***g body before I finally kill him,"
