Bait Novel 105
Chapter 105 A rumbling laugh comes from the wolf. Crystal stops struggling and I feel when her fur starts to get hot. I wave the others off as she shifts back to her skin. I immediately remove my jacket and cover her in it. Her laughter bounces off the walls as she stares up at me. “I don’t play possum,” she tucks my jacket around her and sits up “Sweet mother moon. What happened? Why am I covered in blood?” The others all glance around at one another as I pull her to me. I lift her up making sure she stays covered. “Don’t worry about it for now. Let’s get you cleaned up,” “Open up the King’s quarters,” Roy calls out. “This way, Your Grace,” two wolves come over to us. “I’ll clean things up, Jo,” Roy calls after me. They lead us to an elevator and take us up. Perry’s eyes are back to normal, but she’s exhausted. Once we’re alone I start up a warm bath for her. “You have to stay awake, Perry,” I shake her a bit when she starts to fall asleep. “Everything hurts,” she croaks. “Okay, let me get you cleaned up so you can go to bed,” I end up in the tub with her. As I’m cleaning her up, tears slide down her face as the wolf relentlessly shows her memories of her and Darren. Memories of two wolves playing together, mating, and they hurt her. Guilt floods through us. Once she’s clean I hold her against me accepting everything she’s ever told me. Even if she wanted to stay, she wouldn’t be able to. The wolf wouldn’t allow it. “That feels a lot like resignation,” she cups my face. The look on her face kills me. She’s at peace with everything and maybe even likes that I can see that now. “It does doesn’t it?” I smile back at her. “Remember what you said to me at the start of this?” she laughs, “Help me save my family?” I shrug and set her on the bed. “You said: you’ve been waking up every day for the past five years to do something ***d, little wolf.
Come sit over here and do something s***id with me,” she grins. “Now, I say to you: You’ve been waking up every day for the past eight years to do something***id, Lycan King. Come sit over here and do something st***d with me,” I sit beside her. “I’m in love with you, you tiny cyber-terrorist, slash assassin, now slash Lycan Queen, I trace her lips with my thum don’t care if that makes you feel any kind of way anymore. I need you to know that before you go for the last time,” Lexpect her to get upset with me or maybe shut me down the way she always does, but she just smiles and sits up. “Can you promise me something? My final request,” “Whatever you want, I agree. “I “Don’t let James win, she leans in pressing her lips against mine. “No matter how much you want it, don’t let the darkness 08:09 Mon, Oct 21 Chapter 103 10.79% take you. It’ll all be in vain. And I don’t know, maybe hide it better? In a few years, run the blood moon. Train your heir and let that little mother f****er run free. That’ll make me very happy “Perry-” “Ah, ah,” she pokes my ribs playfully. “You already agreed,” “Will you be waiting for me on the other side?” “Yeah, I’ll introduce you to my son and your daughter,” she whispers and lays back. Her eyes flutter shut. Just when I think she’s finally fallen asleep she snorts. “How cute would it have been if they would have been fated? We would have still met and become best friends. Our lives would have been perfect,” Those words hit me hot and my ears ring. That would have been a perfect life, but neither of us was lucky enough to end up there. Our lives are bound by **it that should never have been able to reach
us in the first place. I, a false heir to the throne that never should have belonged to my family. Her, a little girl who paid for the sins of her father in kind. There is beauty in her war. Innocence in the need to finally rest her head. I search her one last time to make sure she’s not badly wounded and stop at my family crest on her thigh. Some of the gold is faded as if she’s had the marks for years not months. Even if she’s had them for years, it shouldn’t have faded this way. This ink is made specifically for wolves to carry until the skin rots back into the earth. “Lower,” she lifts her a*** up. “Or f***k off,” “I think we’ve had enough today,” I whisper leaning into kiss her head. She pushes me away using her entire hand. “Then go if you’re not going to f****k me to sleep. I can’t drift off with you touching me like that,” I watch her stretch and then relax as she buries herself underneath all the unnecessary pillows on this bed. I sit in the light of the afternoon not wanting to leave her side. I move around the room checking every inch of the place to ensure nothing bothers her in any kind of way. The two guards outside greet me when I close her in the room. “If she wakes up before I return, get her whatever she wants. No food or drinks until I return. No one goes in there,” “Yes, my king,” they both bow. Jordan cleared the two of them. I promise myself I won’t go too far when I step away from her. My body nearly protests, there’s a lot to do and it’s best I give her room to breathe. She’s not mine and she’s going to die soon one way or another. I repeat the words over and over in my head, but I’m afraid it’s only making things worse for me. butProperty © NôvelDrama.Org.
