Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter Jonas

103

I'm oddly calm for someone who's about to get married to a woman who wants nothing to do with me. As my cousin Roy slicks my hair back with the gold-shaping wax I fight the urge to call out through this bond connecting us. What happened in the plane was f***d and a part of me wants to apologize to her. 1 feel like an idiot. I hand-picked everything for today. I'd been working on it since Debora showed me the design on the dress Perry liked. She didn't let me see it and I've wanted nothing more than to see what made her feel the way that dress did.

That wasn't the way I wanted the plane ride to go but as always. It's never about what I want. What either of us wants. Since meeting this wolf, I have no f***g idea what it is I really want anymore. She's flipped everything right-side up. Fixed ver single one of my problems. She has given me more than anyone has ever before and I'm not sure it's going to mean anything once she's gone. "She killed Debora," one of the guards informs us.

"Did she say why?" I was under the impression that they were friends.

She doesn't need to," he answers.

"She's the ****truth?

Isn't that the f

We should go, Jo," Roy sighs.

"What?" I ask as we get to the Lycan Sanctum.

There are a lot of unhappy faces here tonight. More than we can afford who have turned against my family and me.

"Can't you just lock her up until she knocks her s**t off?" he huffs.

"She's feral. I lock her up and the wolf rips its way out of her one way or

the pills seem to be helping. She hasn't had an incident since the vampires,"

"She also can no longer retract her claws or fangs. Her eyes are amber more than they are their regular shades. Even if I could keep her, her last days would be hell,"

"We keep her alive for the next forty-eight hours then," he nods,

"Go get our special invite guests," I order when we get to the altar. He fixes my bow tie.

"Your father would be proud of you. I know it wasn't easy to get here. Although she ran circles around all of us from her computer," he smirks. "Good luck, Cousin," "Don't come in here once s**t pops off," I warn him. He bows his head and excuses himself.

I take a deep breath and reach out for her. She's just as calm as I feel. My guess is that we're calm because the ceremony is the easy part. A role the two of us took at the start of this. My focus is on the doors waiting for her to arrive. My body winds up involuntarily as the music starts and the doors open.

My blood runs cold when I see her standing there looking down at the flowers in her hands. Eve and I decided to get married after our daughter was born. She wanted gold and some cream color. Throughout her pregnancy, she pieced together the themes and colors on her own. I didn't want to take part in the planning. All that mattered to me was that she was happy after everything I had put her through..

Clear from the start that she just wanted to show up and do what I had asked of her. It bothered me to bear her way she didn't care. A part of me broke for her when she found her mate's ring in the things she brought with her. I from here and it looks perfect on her hand

aren't traditional for Lycans. We're bound by chain. A union like this is bound by all means and only death would separate us. Even if we hated each other. I've tried to convince myself to hate her. A means to an end.

Pernicious Phurry is a f***ng sickness and she's infected me. Standing there in black and gold, her glowing amber eyes are locked in on me. I know it's not going to take long for me to follow her into the grave. I've never cared about anyone, not even myself, the way I care for this self-destructive little a***e. The very idea of losing her is already killing me and I have forty-eight hours for our deal to come to an end.

Too quickly, she's standing in front of me. I offer her my hand and she places a Chinese ring dagger on my palm. Quite casually I might add. It catches me off guard for a moment but laugh because it's such a Perry thing to do.

I can fully appreciate her now that she's inches away. The dress is perfect. The black and gold lace clings to her slender body as if someone drew the designs on her skin. To say I'm surprised to see the big puffy skirt is an understatement. There is a princess in her after

all.

Her skin is glowing. I want to touch her. I want to tell her how beautiful she looks, but she hit my pride hard back on the plane and I'd rather not push that button right now. I don't want her to ruin this memory. It's absolutely perfect. This is what I want to remember no matter how badly it ends.

Her eyes wander as the Reverand begins. I couldn't find someone who could perform the ceremony in English for her. I can't take my eyes off her lips. They're painted black and coated with flecks of gold. Her eyes look bigger than they usually do. She looks intimidating like this. Older even. I can't bring myself to stop making an a*** of myself.

The way she looks at me when I pull her to me after the IDos is heartwrenching. It feels like a lot like looking at a memory. The same memories I see when she's sleeping. Fragments a girl who trusted everyone around her despite their betrayal. The girl who loved nothing more than to get under her best friend's skin. Then the wolf who looked into his eyes to see the rest of their lives flash before her eyes and fell in love with him all over again.

A spark floods through me when our lips meet. I try to pull her closer but she's on top of it. I growl at her when she pulls me away. Her hand swipes over my head. I glance back to see the lycan that had come into my home with James the night we. tagged him. "Now, I call our to Noland.

My plan is put into action. I pull Perry into me as the guards run up to arm us. As soon as we're ready we're surrounded by shields. I provide backup to the guards as traitors try to come at us. "Get down,

tackle me as a rocket flies past us and hits the altar where we had just been standing. The Reverand and the two hed to her are blown to s*****t. I lift her up needing to get her the hell out of here before anyone tries to take at her. Jonas" the two of us turn back and for a second my heart stops. A woman is standing in the middle of the hallway with an AR tucked under her arm. My head spins and I can't move.

"Eve?" as the name comes out of me I know it can't be her. This woman is a lot older.

This is for my daughter, she cries out and goes to lift the rifle but Perry fires before she can take aim. It all happens so fast. The AR goes off and she uses all her strength to push me out of the way.

No, I lose my footing and hit the floor.

I'm on my feet again before I can let the pain register. Noland is lying on top of her. I feel relieved for a moment, but I still need to get her the hell out of here. I pull him off her and feel a sting on my neck. I look back to see a woman standing over
