Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 137

Jonas

“I’ve never been good at telling the difference,” Perry says and goes over to her desk.

“That makes two of us,” I admit and go over to the giant Hello Kitty, I push it off the pillows. I doubt she wants anyone sitting on it. “This might sound like a stupid question, but how are you feeling?”

I look up at her to see she’s staring at the computer screen in front of her not really making an effort to make use of it. She looks down at her hands and just when I give up on an answer she lets out a heavy sigh.

“I’m scared,” she says calmly.

“You’re safe here,”

“That’s not what I mean,” she shakes her head without looking over at me. She holds up her hands and releases her claws. They’re a milky white shade now. “For the last five years, there was no future for me. Honestly, I don’t ever remember a time when I really believed I had one. I’ve been living my life one plan at a time since my mother died. And now, I’m basically indestructable,”

“You seemed pretty indestructable to me from the moment we met,” I smile remembering her definance. “I can’t even begin to imagine what you feel, Perry. But I can share with you what happened to me when I first shifted. If you like,

“Okay,” she

and agrees comes over to lay on the plush. “What did you do before?”

“There’s a training trial we have to pass before transition. I began my training for it when I was fourteen. Most Lycans do. However, because I was the heir to the throne, my trials were more conditioning,”

“Muscle conditionin

she says.

I turn around to face her. She’s buried in the plush with her arms out to her side as she pets the soft fabric. She both looks like my

little wolf and doesn’t. She’s breath takingly stunning and I don’t know if she wants to hear that after the reaction she had in the studio.

“That’s right. Do wolves have that as well?”

“No, but I got conditioning for the KNAVE. I’d call it torture. Endurance in different climate conditions. I can fight and take a hit the way I can because I was trained by apponents larger and stronger than me. The Rogue King,” NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“He trained you?”

“Yeah,”

“I thought it was torture as well, but after. Once I started healing and getting better, I saw it for what it was. I was stronger than the other juveniles. I could do things they couldn’t. Gray isn’t common among our kind either. Alphas are pitch black. Betas are dark brown. Deltas are dual colored. Omegas range for tan to red.

“My parents wanted me to be albino and by the time I was fifteen, I was doing things alphas were without having shifted yet. They thought it was a sure thing, and they kept amping my training every

few months.

“I think it didn’t work because it didn’t break me. I accepted that this was the only way I could continue my family’s legacy and I wanted to make them proud more than anything. The idea of being King and helping people was the goal and the stronger I was by the time I shifted the stronger I would be as a Lycan and their King.

“I had lots of support. Not just from my parents but Oz and Silas. His family was very supportive as well. My transition was rough. When I gave in, I killed Silas’s father and one of the doctors tasked with keeping me alive,”

“I didn’t need that,” she sits up.

“You did have it. Oz was the one that found

out

you were healing when she was cleaning your body for the funeral arrangements. She was preparing you for transition when she came to get me. I tried to stop her, but she had already administered the vitamins and wolfsbane,”

“So it doesn’t happen right away?”

“No, but it would have happened during the fullmoon. It’s a good thing that I-”

“Forced it,” she finishes. “Why?”

“Perry, you’re my mate now. You-”

“I mean why is it a good thing. I know why you did it,” she lays back further so she can look up at the ceiling.

“Our beast side takes over during the fullmoon. The first time it’s very difficult to control what we are with the sway of it. Your body was already conditioned to shift into a wolf. It was less of a risk for you to shift without the fullmoon. The blast of your new ability would have been bigger. It could have leveled more than just the mirror. Do you remember what it was like?”

“Yeah, I’ve had a headache for a while, but that’s always been something that I’ve had to put up with since my wolf began the stages of feral. So, I didn’t think anything of it, but when you started the order. It felt like my eyes and my head and my body were too full. Like my blood was swelling more and more. My head felt like it was going to explode and then it felt like it did. The pain faded all at once. Was it like that for you?”

“No, I felt like I was set on fire and then someone tried to put the fire out with a pipe or something,”

“Oh, yeah. I felt super hot too, but I guess the pain in my head made me forget,” she rubs her chest. “It started with the first command. I was just hot and it amplified,”

down “During the fullmoon, the pain doesn’t stop. It gets to a point where all you want is for it to stop. Nothing and no one else matters. That’s the final trial for us. It’s called Triunfa Le Lumen. Triumph of the fire. You either go feral and are put or you surivive,”
