Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

"Was my duffle bag brought in?" I ask.

"Right here," one of the girls sets it on the couch for me.

I slip out of my jacket and place it over the armrest. Debbie looks down at my torn shirt. I begin to unbuckle everything and set my things on the table. The girls all stare at my mini arsenal, "The bath is right over here," Debbie says when I'm standing here in my cargos and bra. "Are you going to bathe me too?" I ask.

"Yes, it's customary," she nods.

I take one of my kunai and make my way over to the bathtub. It's a metal tub. The kind used to bathe big dogs. It's filled with milky water and flowers. I turn around to face Debbie to see her smirk. "Finish undressing me," I order her effectively wiping the smile off her face. She tries to wave the other two girls over. "No,

hold my arms up waiting. She stares at me until she realizes I'm serious. She comes over and stands behind me to unhook my bra. I smile over at her friends to see them trying to hide their amusement. As soon as she leans in to undo my belt, she looks up at me her eyes are pitch black. It really bothers her that I smell like him. Once I'm naked, she takes a step back.

get into the tub to find it's nice and warm. It smells like honeysuckle and blossoms. I lift one of the daisies from the water as the two other girls come over with tools for a mani-pedi and maybe a haircut.

I let them do whatever. My focus remains on Debbie. The last time I saw her she had long hair and it's kind of funny that she's cut it all off in a pixie cut similar to the one the King had me get when I arrived. "What?" she growls.

"Didn't peg you for a pick me girl," I shrug.

"Didn't peg you for a s****t," she shoots back.

immediately hides it with a single look from Debbie. "So, Debs,"

"Don't call me that," she growls.

"Okay, Debs. How

How long have you been f***** James?" I ask. Her eyes widen.

"Excuse me?" she tries to recover.

"Does your beloved King know?"

Like before, I feel like I was skinned when they're done. The silk robe is cold and feels good when I slip into it. One of them starts styling my hair while the other polishes my claws. I haven't been able to retract them since we got back from meeting with the vampire. When they start on my makeup, Debora brings over some undergarments. "I have my own," I wave her off.

When they finally finish, they step away from me as I go over to my duffle. I pull my black and gold set which is actually a lot nicer than the one she set out for me. I then continue with my leather straps to fit my weapons under my dress. I pause when she brings it out. Goddess I've been thinking about that thing since I first put it on She looks at me disapprovingly when I pull out my heeled Doc Martens. Bunny had Lillies decorate them with the markings on my body. I slip them on and tie them.. "Boots?"

Boo

"I'm going to be running and killing people out there. So, yeah. Boots," I say. "You're lucky I found some for the occasion or they would have been regular s***t kickers,"

She helps me into the skirt made of tule that goes under the dress. It's kind of heavy and it's not going to be easy to move around in. I would have preferred the one with the metal thingies in it. The two girls come over with several jewelry cases. I open them and inhale to make sure they're not poisoned. When I'm content with it all they start putting them on me.

"Is there any way to take this off?" one of them asks about my collar.

"You don't want to do that. It keeps me from shifting,"

Her

eyes meet mine for a moment and she nods before placing the ugliest golden neckpiece around my neck. It attaches to the cuffs or my wrists and sits over my shoulders. A second piece is wrapped around my waist. I hate that it takes so much from the dress, but I don't complain. They are after all the royal jewels.

Here I am, a girl from the sh***st part of the s***est city wrapped in the Lycan Royal jewels about to become the wife of the Lycan King. The last laugh feels real f****ing good.

"Would you like to see?" she asks me.

"Sure," I agree. She guides me over to the platform set up in the middle of the room. It has three full mirrors.

I step up to the platform and stare back at myself. Everything is flawless. The golden marks glisten against the black and beautifully blend into the jewels. My skin glistens the same way his does.

I've changed so much since coming here. The person in front of me is someone from a different life. She looks alive and healthy. The way it's meant to be. Even with the pretty new lavender shades in my eyes, there's nothing in the glimmer of her eyes. I smooth my hands over the front of my dress and fix the st******d jewelry.

"Yo

in better," Debora comes over with the black veil. It's attached to a small tiara.

My hair was curled and pinned so that the King's mark is on full display. My ears have pretty cuffs adorning them. The other girl comes around to help her place the veil on my head. They pin it and spread it out around me.

"Is the Queen prepared?" I look over at Debora to see her lift a small walkie-talkie to her mouth.

"We're coming out now," she informs them.

The door opens and I reach for my knives and tuck them into the sleeves of my dress. Debora watches me do it. I smile at her knowing that she's not making it out of here. I just need this c*****y b***h to come a little closer. "This color is wasted on you," she says.

"It was never going to happen, Debs. He's never going to take another mate. When I die; all that will be left is all the bad s**t I've been slowly infecting him with since he marked me. You wouldn't be able to enchant a single man even if you were a virgin. You're going to die a quick meaningless death," "You think so?" she laughs.

I shove my kunai into her chest. Her

"I know so," I assure her. She reaches for my arm but doesn't quite make it and takes a speechless step back. "No ever tell you not to let your guard down in front of a feral b***h before?"
