Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)
Bait novel 201

Chapter 201

Phoebe Alaha is gorgeous and way out of Knightly Blake’s league Well, the Knight I know now anyway. What concerns me is that she’s got two little kids with her that resemble that idiot. She’s in France. It would take very little to get her back here.

“What are you doing?” I almost jump out of my seat when Mackenzie speaks up.

“How did you get in here?” 1 spin around to see her standing in the bathroom doorway

“You’re going to need a new window in the bathroom,” she says and comes over to see what I’m looking at. “That’s her? She’s stunning. His little spiral makes sense now,”

“I didn’t think you were going to come.” I admit. She looks over the mess I made opening up all the boxes.

“Have you spoken to him?” is all she asks,

“No, they’ve been asleep since we arrived,” I shut down my computer and turn around to give her my undivided attention.

My heart is beating a little faster than normal. I know what comes next has to be her choice and as I watch her make space to sit down on the couch, I have no fucking idea where this is going Mackenzie is a wild card and her wolf always has the last

word.

“He’s beautiful, huh?” she sits down, lays her hands on her lap, and starts tapping her thumbs together. There’s something wrong. “What do you want to do with him?”

“He’s not my son. The choice is up to you,”

“Why didn’t you just kill him with the rest of them?” she asks softly.

“I honestly thought we were going to, but he had them with him. Do you know why? Why are these two significant to him out of the rest?”

The little girl is his daughter. Subject F–Alphal. She’s genetically enhanced to blend in anywhere. He replicated the coding for the servant bots Lycan Tech will be releasing a couple of weeks to help him with genetic engineering. She probably has some insane adapting genes in her.

“Hunter is like her–subject M–Alphal. The Falcon found what binds us as mates and he encoded it into them. They’ve been together from the moment she took her first breath. The difference between them is that Hunter has whatever drives me to lose control of my wolf. The killing instinct. She doesn’t. It’s a balance and he was using her to keep Hunter in line,”

I’m hearing what she’s saying but it’s taking me a moment to process it fully,

“Oh, is all I can say.

“Im going to go into their room and I’m going to take of this problem. I want you to never speak of this again. It never happened. It will never happen again,” she leans forward to put a hard drive on the glass table. “I stole the project while you were fucking around with the other IOs. All evidence of it has been wiped,”

“There were witnesses. Others know about them,”

“Okay,” she shrugs. Tell them the truth then,”

“Mack-“I stand when she does.

She smiles and takes a deep breath before letting it out in a huff

“Sometimes I wonder what my life would have been like if you hadn’t come into it, Perry. Sometimes wonder what it would have been like if my mother would have been happy if she hadn’t chosen to keep that little fuck that killed her. I

wonder if my dad will ever stop pretending that everything is okay when we all know that he’s the reason I’m like this.

“You know that right? He’s not the loving dad that helps us all get through the day. He’s always been empty inside. Just like us. It’s all a front and like my mother, one day you’re all going to wake up and Rose is going to be dead. Mysterious illness. Childbirth. Maybe one too many hits to the head. Who knows!”

Again, I’m striking out on coherent thoughts, Jacob? I take her in Properly this time. There’s a familiar aura around her. The same one that Darren had when he shifted. Almost, she’s hiding herself from me. Trying her best to keep me from seeing the truth.

“Jennifer, what did you do to Mackenzie?” 1 ask taking a step toward her. She laughs glancing down at her hands and when she looks up her eyes a bright red.

“Mackenzie isn’t here anymore. I’ve been fighting her since we were released from the compound. I asked her politely not to come replace you and she didn’t listen,” she shrugs. “But maybe I was wrong to have made such an unthought–out request of her. After all, it was you who freed me with just one little call,

“Perry-“The door opens and James walks in with a tablet and a stack of folders. I’m standing in front of him the moment she raises a gun to aim at him.

“Okay,” I put my hands up in surrender. “You’re upset, Jen. I understand,”

“Do you?” she laughs lowering the gun, but she doesn’t holster i should have been me who the Falcon chose to be his champion looks over at the ripped packages. Tm not afraid of what I can do. That’s a very skin thing to feel. Fear.

You have robbed me of everything I’ve ever wanted. It am better in every way. I have the focus you lack she

You’ve been a lycan for a while, yes? You know that it’s the circumstances of the skin that creates the monster inside of us The beast sort to speak. Why do you think sweet little Mackenzie Phurry became a silverback without having any kind of genetic history recorded in her father’s background?”

“The spirit chooses,

“Spirit,” she laughs. “Fucking elders never shut the fuck up even when they have no idea about what it is they’re talking about. Just like you became a white Lycan and Jonas a gray. What was it you think made him that way? The beatings? The / verbal abuse? Do you think his daddy also bent him over the toilet and did things to him after his mate died?”

“What the fuck are you talking about?” my heart skips.

“Darren knew,” she lifts her shoulders high and drops them. “Why do you think he tried to kill him on your birthday?”

“He spent the rent money on the horse races. He would have told me,”

I’m stumbling for words here. For rational thoughts, but the thing in front of me is dominating the room with the very darkness I’ve wanted us to escape.

“You were seventeen and on the brink of changing medical history. The last thing he needed was for you to murder your primary caretaker. I think you’re forgetting who taught my brother to be the vicious asshole he became. Move out of the

way,”

“You can’t just say all that shit about your dad and then walk out of here like that. What did they do to you and Mackenzie? She didn’t remember any of that. She’s been staying with him,”

She looks me over and takes another deep breath.

and me.” “Lots of things happened in the compound,” she pulls her hoodie off and turns around to show me a bald spot on the back of her head. “It’s hard to say. My focus was on the pup. It’s dangerous. More so than you

“Fuck, I don’t know what to do or think. The thing we’ve been afraid of since she shifted has happened. Mackenzie is feral and because she’s hall Lycan it has control. Mackenzie is gone. Try to take even breaths but all I see is what remains of my

little sister standing in front of me. “I’m sorry. I’m so fucking sorry this happened to you, Kenzie,”

“Get out of the way, Perry,” the wolf insists.

“I can’t,” I shake my head. “I can’t let you hurt them, Jen,”

“Then you’re going to have to kill me,” she laughs. “Why do you think I came here in this skin? I don’t think you can do it. Not while I wear this face. I don’t want anything else. I just want the children. I promise we’ll never see each other again. You can do with Jacob Phurry whatever the fuck you want. Say yes, big sister. Grant me one last wish,”
