Chapter 85 Jonas “Nice,” she smiles. “You are spiraling. F***g hard. It’s kind of cute watching you lash out at everything that means anything to you. Questioning existence where you barely even exist,” “F***k you. Perry.” “Would you like to go do something to burn off all that energy?” he asks cautiously. “The more you proposition me to f**k you, the less I want to do it, I growl at her. She bursts into laughter. “That’s not what I meant. I was propositioning you to come out and do some illegal s***t with me in Magique. We’d need some bullets and dark clothing. And some of this,” she stands upto push me out of the way. In her closet space, she pulls a box and opens it to show me the duffle in there. She reaches inside and produces a stack of hundreds. “Money.” “You just have money lying around in here?” “Yeah,” she tosses the bag at me. I catch it and watch her move around the room. This box, that box, the huge trunk,” she points around the room. “Oh and speaking of trunks. All the cars are packed. Just pull the rug.” “Why?” “Darren,” she shrugs. Just in case we needed to run, “Did you ever think of stopping?” I look down at the bag to see it filled. “There was no stopping. It was do as I was told or die. That’s how it is for us. Whether it’s the old man, the alpha, the alpha king, or you. Of course, I thought about stopping. I regretted it the first time I took the money. “Maybe I’ve always had a death wish. Maybe I’m just surviving. The lines always blur. At the end of the day, all of this s***t was on me. I made these choices,” she smiles. “I don’t want to be mad at them anymore. I can feel it. How close I am. You’re all I have left and you’re kind of an idiot, she takes the bag, sets it on her desk, and cups my face. “I like the way this played out. I didn’t know people like you still existed,”
“What does that mean? People like me,” “Would you like to go hang out with some vampires up with me or do I have to sneak out again?” she drops her hands to tuck them behind her back. Expecting my answer she rocks back and forth in her sneakers. “Will it make me feel better?” “Oh, yeah,” she laughs. “Or sick to your stomach. It’s really up to how much you can handle,” Tll come along “We’re meeting up with Violetta. You might be related to her. Her last name is Wilde. She’s one of those wolves that teeter between feral and tame. Fair warning, she’s in love with her boss and she won’t shut the **k up about him,” The old man?” “No, she works for the Thornes. The big pharm company. Thome Labs. 10s isn’t a full-time job. It gets boring waiting around for Charlie to call. Got to hide how we make our money somehow,” “A human?” I ask. ‘Is that allowed? Especially in Magique,” “Yeah, there’s no law against that. Have you ever been around humans? Little f**rs are mean. Mr Thorne likes to get his 08:08 Sat, Oct 19 Chapter 85 hands dirty.” “If she’s as capable as you. I bet.” “No, no, no,” she laughs. “Mr. Thorne doesn’t know that Vy is a wolf. Thornes f***ng hate wolves. They have demon hunter blood. You know from the olden days. They’re f***ng Vikings. Tean I get why she’s smitten. Thorne males are beautiful. Not a lot of mortals left but the ones that survived were the real asty ones that refused to die. They’re respectable” I’ve seen humans out in the open before,” “Right. But not like these mortals. Magique City is one of the worst posts in the packlands. It’s owned by the Wolfes. You know Wolfe Enterprises? We’ve got Wolfe Tech, Wolle Entertainment, Wolfe Pharm, Wolfe Hotels, Wolfe Cafes, and my personal favorite Wolfe Cosmetics. They justProperty © NôvelDrama.Org.

I couldn’t watch that happen to your Mom,” “Why are the Wolfes important?” You really don’t know anything about wolves. Okay, Wolfes are native to the new world. When the colonists came here they couldn’t push the pack out. They never attacked, they just guarded their territory until they formed the first alliance between them, and since the wolves had f***ed them up pretty badly they helped them. Taught them medicine and wolf s***it. They even took human females as their brides. “Any half human half supernatural is born what vamps call sweet-blooded. They’re stronger and different and with the Colonizers came the f***ng leeches. They multiplied fast and they went to war over the sweet blood. The Wolfes had to step in to create what is known as the Triad Alliance. Between the established supernaturals and mortals,” That didn’t last. Mortals were actively h**ed years into the alliance. That’s also part of my history.” “Right. And then a few centuries ago a Wolfe fell in love with a mortal and he was killed. In his honor, Valeria Wolfe helped mortals get their independence. Mortals were granted a seat a the table and Wolfes were gifted Magique City. They became known as the Blood Ridge Pack. The covens agreed to a new treaty when Blood Ridge Bridge was built across Blood Night River signifying the end of a war that lasted however old America was three hundred years ago. “This city is open to any and all supernaturals. These little mortals survived us and they’re not just out in the open. They’re trained and raised to be able to go up against wolves, vampires, and whatever else they might have to face. Thommes are nuts. They’re part of the last eight Demon Hunter bloodlines,” “And they don’t know she’s a wolf? How?” the guy was raised to be a hunter, how would he if she hides it well she shimmies into her body suit. “I said he was part of their bloodline, not that he was a demon hunter. Those guys are sneaky. No way they’d be out in the open like that. Now Mrs. Thorne is another story. She was raised hunting. I think his parents were related. Every new generation gets a hunter and scholar. “Vy is sly and she’s not the kind of person who knows how to hold back. No Wolfe does,”
