Bait Novel 116
Chapter 116 Jonas “What did you do?” Dr. Alvarez asks accussingly as soon as we’re standing outside of her clinic. “I beg your pardon?” I flinch when she all but jumps on me holding a tablet in her hands. She shoves it in my face. There are Lycan scans on the screen, I stare at them not sure why she’s showing me this. “Oz, I don’t care about whatever this is,” “Come,” she takes my hand and pulls at me. “I’m tired. I want to go to bed,” “Now,” she growls tugging on my hand harder. I groan and motion to the doors. She looks around like she’s expecting someone to jump out at us from the shadows. I think hanging around Perry changed her just as much as it did me. I stop when I see the empty icebox Perry had been kept in. On the floor a few feet away is the empty body bag. “What the fuck, Oz?” I growl at her. “I was cleaning her up. I read the report. A hole straight through the chest,” she pulls on me again. Perry is lying on an operating table in her pretty dress. “Look,” Dr. Alvarez releases me and pushes me toward the body. I slowly approach and stop when I see that the hole I’d punched through her chest is gone. I rush to her side placing my hand over the ripped material of her dress. There’s skin where there should be a gaping hole. I look back at Dr. Alvarez. “What the f****k?” “That’s what I said,” she nods and starts fiddling with the machines around Perry. She’s sticking wires all over her where she can. “Is she alive? How is she healing?” I ask. “Healing?” we both look back to find Mackenzie standing in the doorway. “Not healing,” Dr. Alvarez says coming closer. “Transitioning,” “To what?” Mackenzie demands.
“Lycan,” I answer when Dr. Alvarez stares back at me. “No,” “I thought this would make you happy, Your Grace,” she steps back. Why would that make me happy? It’s not going to make Perry happy if she wakes up. It’s going to make her angry. And sad. If she wakes up a Lycan it means she won’t be a wolf anymore. She’d lose the final tether to who she had once been. Crystal. “How is that possible? There is no f***ng way,” Mackenzie storms over to us. She looks Perry over. “She’s going to be pi****d,” I place my hand where her wound had been. “S***. I pierced her heart. There’s no way she survives this,” “Not exactly,” Dr. Alvarez says. “You cut the two bottom chambers triggering the proper healing process. Her body is in hibernation. Like before. It shut down enough to help her heal. The ice has been helping. Keeping her cool enough to preserve her body while she heals,” “What now?” Mackenzie asks. 1/3 10:02 Thu, Oct 31 Chapter 116 “Now we wait,” Dr. Alvarez says. “The rest is up to her,” 3 “She can still die,” I say pulling away in case my being close might change that. “Wolves die in this phase, right?” 79% “It’s a one in a two-point six million chance that she makes it,” Dr. Alvarez says. “If she wakes up, Perry will be a fully-blooded Lycan, “You f*****ing idiot,” Mackenzie sighs. “If there’s anyone who can beat those f*****ng odds, it’s this st***d b***h,” she takes her hand and holds it up to her cheek before letting out a low chuckle. “You just refuse to***ing die, Perry. Der did say you were always too stubborn for it,” “This stays between us,” I immediately go to lock the door to find Roy jogging over. “Good. You’re up,” he says. “I can’t sleep. There’s this scent,” “A scent?” I ask. He leans into me and tries to look past me.
“Lycan King, you’re going to have to-” Mackenzie freezes when she steps out from behind me. I groan grabbing my cousin by his jacket and pulling him in. “Jonas!” “F*****,” I growl and look back to see Jacob running in our direction. “Hurry the f******k up and get in here,” “I just wanted to ask if you’ve seen, Kenzie,” he says defensively. “She’s in here,” I urge him to run faster. I slam the door shut behind me and turn around to find Mackenzie glaring at my cousin. “This is not happening,” she spits. “It’s going to happen, wolf. There’s no way in hell I’m letting you go,” Roy smiles. “What is happening?” Jacob asks. “Nothing,” I growl at the two of them. “Perry is transitioning,” “What?” Jacob asks. “I don’t think it’s a good idea to have this many people in here when she wakes up,” Dr. Alvarez interjects. “If she wakes up,” I glance over at Perry’s body. “How is this possible?” Jacob goes over to her. “She was bonded to the King for some time. It’s possible that she had been transitioning before that because of your son,” Dr. Alvarez is moving around the room gathering things. “Stop,” I grab her arm. “If I don’t do something she’ll be lost,” she tries to pull away. “That’s what she wanted,” I remind them. “Do you have any idea the strain this will put on her if she wakes up with her wolf gone?” “He’s right,” Jacob sighs and then laughs shaking his head. “Why are you laughing?” Roy asks him. 2/3 III NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
10:02 Thu, Oct 31 Chapter 116 BB ก “Because it’s just like Perry to ****k up something as simple as dying,” Mackenzie grins. “Jonas,” Dr. Alvarez pulls out of my grip. I release her. “Clear the room. If she wakes up by morning, she wakes up. If she doesn’t, we carry on with the funeral arrangements,” “We can’t just leave her here,” “I’ll stay. She’s still my wife. Go. I’ll call if anything changes. Not a word,” I warn them. “Stop staring at me, Freak,” Mackenzie growls and storms out. Jacob looks at him skeptically before following his daughter out. “You’re fu**d,” I tell him. “If she’s anything like this one, you’re utterly f***ed,” “That makes two of us, Cousin,” he smacks my arm. “Call and I’ll be here,” he looks back at Dr. Alvarez. “Doctor?” “I took an oath,” she stares back at me. “So did I and I outrank you,” I remind her. She growls throwing her tablet across the room before stomping out with Roy following behind her. “She hung out with you a little too much, Perry. You made her bratty,”
