Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 180

I take the protective glasses from inside the emergency pack and slide them on my face before looking over at the King one last time. I lean forward to give him one last peck. When I move to slide out of the window to get on top, he stops me.

"Don't leave me again," he says gently. "Please,"

"I'm not going anywhere, but we need to take care of this before people start dying" I nod.

"I love you," he whispers.

Fuck, I want to say it back but not like this. I nod, pull myself out of the car, and climb on top. I check my weapons and make sure that my gun is loaded. He slows a bit. Enough for me to be able to jump off.

My feet hit the floor and I see the gorgon just up ahead trying to figure out what direction it should attack. I take one of my smoke bombs from my belt and head towards them. I crack the little sphere and throw it. The bright-colored smoke catches its attention. I charge straight for it.

"I'm going to give you an opening. Aim for the belly," I shout.

"Are you out of your fucking mind?" someone shouts.

The gorgon spots me. I surge of adrenaline floods my body and my senses come to life. Without me having to think about it, my muscles adjust just enough to give me the power to be able to take this thing on. I don't have to shift. I open fire when it comes at me.

It stumbles back waving its arm in front of it as if to swat the bullets away. When the mag is empty I toss it aside and release my claws without having to give into the shift fully. I skid under its legs and dig my claws into the ice to stop behind it. I

"Now," I shout grabbing hold of its arm and pulling it back.

I hold it to me so that I don't get hit. They all fire on it and I try to wiggle out from behind it now that it's down. I flinch when it screams as they continue to shoot at it. With its belly fully exposed, it stood no chance. When it stops moving I pull my knife out and get to it before it can start to heal. I cut into the belly exposing the heart to cut it out. Sure enough, it was already trying to get itself pumping again.

The rancid stench of its blood is enough to make me gag. Once the heart is out I step back trying to shake the image. I still

"Holy shit! That was fucking lit!" Mackenzie shouts from somewhere on the rooftops.

-How far out are you?- I ask the King.

-That was fucking amazing. I'm coming up behind you in a bit.-

"Here comes the other one," I shout and toss the heart aside. "Get ready,"

I wipe the sweat from my face and step out onto the street. Jordan comes out with me,

"Okay. This one's bigger. It's a male so grab his right arm. I'll get the left," the headlights up ahead shine on us and I shake my arms out to get some of this blood off me.

"My right or his?" he asks.

"What? Shit. You're right," I laugh.

Perry, he growls as they get closer.

I break into a run and he follows.

"Your right," I shout as the spaceship dashes past us.

1 reach for its arm and dig my claws into its skin just as my shoulder bashes into his. Pain shoots through me but I don't let go and continue to push with everything I've got. The guards open fire and the thing tugs at me trying to get loose.

This was definitely a male and an alpha one at that. Jordan's natical instinct to bow gets the best of him and he lets go. I brace myself for it to try and hit me but it never comes. The King's growl greets me as this thing goes down with insane force. "Move," he pulls me away.

The guards fire at it again and it finally goes down. I hold up my knife for him.

"That one's all yours, Lycan King," I pant. "The thump thump right in the middle,"

He takes it and walks over to the gorgon."

For something as terrifying as these things are, they're beautiful This massive beast is majestic shades of silver and blue. The reptilian scales are glassy and well-groomed for a monster that's supposed to be out in the wild. I get up and go over to it as the King removes its heart. I turn its cobra-shaped head and feel around its neck until I find it.

"Knife," I hold my hand out.

"What are you doing?" he asks handing it back. "Also that's not metal,"

"Nothing gets past those Lycan King senses, huh?" I laugh. He grins and watches me as I remove the tracker from this thing's neck. I wipe it on my jeans as best as I can and hold it up to show him. "They belong to someone,"

"You're fucking kidding me," he takes it.

"Let me check the other one. You know who would love these?"

"Your little hybrid friend?"

"My little hybrid friend," I nod. "Tell them not to put the hearts anywhere near the bodies. Put them in glass preferably. Airlocked and in a completely different room," "Why?"

"I don't know. It's like removing the batteries. You put it back in and it starts up the toy again,"

"What?" one of the other Lycans all but shouts.

"Yeah, that's what I said, but it's true. I've seen it,"

Once again, my stomach almost falls out of my ass when I get near this thing. I stare down to see what I missed earlier. It was pregnant. My body tingles as I officially get grossed out. Without the heart both are dead, but it feels nasty. I remove the safety glasses and toss them aside. I should probably keep those. They didn't fall off my face even after all that. I hope someone got that on video.

"Oh, shit. It was pregnant, Perry," Mackenize shouts. "Guys look at the baby. Siiick," she laughs. I try to fight back the nausea but I have to turn away as whatever is left in my stomach comes up. "Oh, you did not just get sick after what you just pulled. That was amazing. That ladies and gentlemen is how the mother fucking Lycan Queen does it,"

She starts clapping and the others follow along with her. All while I'm standing here throwing up. I'll appreciate the gesture

later but right now I want to kick her in the fucking head.

“All right. All right. Let her throw up in peace," Jordan starts waving them away.

"Hey," the King pulls my hair back. "You're okay. We would have still killed it knowing,"

I spit and wipe my mouth on my shoulder. We both straighten up as a set of headlights comes closer.

"Is that an Uber guy?" Jordan asks. I look up at the King and he bursts into laughter. Everyone turns to look at us as he doubles over holding his stomach.

"Fuck," he gasps for air. "Baby, our food is here,"

"We're going to need that after a long hot fucking.bath," I rub my sore shoulder. "Someone tip him,"

"Can you walk?" the King asks. I nod as he comes over to me to me. "Get this cleaned up guys. Put these things on ice, please,"

"Don't put the hearts near the bodies. She said glass jars and in a different room," the guy from earlier is holding out an evidence bag while a girl picks up the heart carefully and with gloves on to gently place in his waiting hands. "Everyone is going to be talking about that for the next few months," the King says with a sigh. "Thank you"

"No, thank you," I bump my elbow against his ribs.

"For what? That was all you," he shakes his head.

"Dude, I think that was the greatest date night in the history of all date nights," I hug him. "I had a fucking blast,"
