Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

As soon as his door is opened. Lycans start going down around us. The sound of guns popping off echoes around us, but the King doesn't let me look around. He covers me with his body as we run toward the plane. What t makes you think he won't shoot down the planes?" I ask as soon as I'm inside. I press my back against the wall behind me and remove my guns. "Clear the cabin. Two pilots and a stewardess, he dismisses me.

I clear the back of the plane and wave him in as the door finally shuts. I move to the front to find a woman sitting on the floor crying. I put my finger to my lips and shush her. She nods as I open the cabin door to find the two pilots. I clear their room and step out to see the woman looking up at ine. You okay?"

I

"You

"Yes," she nods. I tuck my gun away and help her up. "Thank you,"

"Only two made it out," the King informs me when I get back to him. He pulls me to him and sits me in the chair next to him as the plane starts to move. He buckles me in and then himself.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

"You're not hit are you?" I ask.

"No, I wore one of your vests," he shakes his head. He pulls his T-shirt to the side to show me one of Darren's vests. I'm surprised it fits him.

"That was a cool plan," I admit.

"What would you have done?"

"Driven to the next state and to catch a commercial flight under a different name,"

"Maybe I should have paid for the Teribyte's services," he huffs.

"WI

re you going to do, pay me with my own money?" I smirk. "Besides, you want the publicity. It was a good plan,"

"You're a lot heavier than you usually are. What do you have under all that?" he motions my outfit. "It's basically painted on you,"

"You're the one controlling what I eat. If you think I'm fat, that's on you," I growl at him.

"I didn't mean it like that," he turns all the way to face me. "You know that,"

"I don't know anything," I roll my eyes, but his reaction is hilarious. He really thinks he hurt my feelings.

"I didn't-" he sighs. "That's not what I meant. I meant what are you hiding under there?"

"You already know. You were all over it last night and this morning,"

His reaction doesn't fail to please me. The tips of his ears turn bright red and it bleeds down over his cheekbones and nose. I decide to put him out of his misery and open up my leather jacket to show him the weapons underneath. "I'm nervous enough," he growls at me. "That's a problem," I sit back.

The inside of the plane is beautiful. It's designed by Obsidian Corp. The interior is royal blue and gold. The seats are suede. The table in front of us is black marble. I'm not sure if it's actual marble or just the design, but it's pretty. The edges have a 14:36 Sat, Oct 19

I don't hesitate to remove my seatbelt as soon as the lights turn on. This plane fits at least twenty people. When I get to the bathroom I want to take my boot off and throw it at him. This is wildly snobby and I know the other three were just as bad. "He doesn't want to kill me," he says when I drop back into the seat next to him with the snacks the woman gave me. "He's not going to shoot down the plane with both of us in here," "You don't seem to want to accept that you're not in a position to make a whole lot of mistakes," I sigh and stuff a handful of popcorn in my mouth.

were closed.

"What was that about making mistakes?" he sn***es the bag out of my hand and leans in to smell it. He gives it back when he's satisfied.

"Would it really be a mistake though?" I shrug. "You give him too much credit. I don't believe a single word he said about him going undercover to reveal the councilmen who knew. Your mother said that those who knew were taken out before he came back here with her?" he asks.

Would youHe wants you to hesitate. He's your brother is not a good argument,"

"Yes,

and she would kill me. That's not a good argument either. Our upbringings are different," there's a long pause. "I'm not trying to turn you against him. He did that. I'm just trying to save you from something that could end very badly for you Lycan King. I'm telling you this from personal experience. I know firsthand what it's like to not want to accept someone who means so much to me has turned their back on everything we survived," "James isn't Morgan," he glares at me.

His words sting and he knew the moment he gave them life that I would say something much worse. Yet, he still went ahead with it. We stare at one another and for once I don't feel the urge to turn away from his challenge. I lean in so he sees how true the words that are about to come out of my mouth are.

"N sn't," I agree. "Morgan turned her back to me the same way you did your brother," he stiffens. "You betrayed him the moment you put your mark on his wife. You let your father drag him back so he could see you flaunt what you took from him. And when he turned on you, you victimized yourself to your own consequences.

"You made him out to be the villain of your story because of your so-called responsibility to your people. So, no. James is not Morgan. He didn't hide behind anything and came at you with everything he had to fight for what he believed was his right. As James Prince. No fine print or blurred lines. Without me, you're just an entitled boy grasping to keep something that was never really yours to begin with. F**k you, Jonas,"
