Bait novel 211

Chapter 211

Andromeda is barely keeping it together. As soon as she sees me she gets up and wraps her arms around me before looking back at my little cousin who is just watching her every move. Ace Savage is nineteen years old, but not like the average teens that age. Like his eldest brother, Godrick, he’s been groomed to take on shit most alpha pups can’t even begin to comprehend from a very young age.

Annie, although she’s a brave little Lycan princess, has never had to do half the shit her brothers have, especially now that her mother is out of the picture. This kid has been the frontmat for a few war settlements worldwide. He’s versed in all things pack land laws and has even written a few for women’s rights. He’s the reason why I even qualified to be the huntress l became after Darren’s death.

“Ace, I greet him. He stands up with a heavy sigh and to his cred. The guy looks almost ashamed about the situation.

“Rick should be here soon, Perry,” he says quietly.

“Why don’t you go get cleaned up, Annie? I have spare clothes in my study,” I rub her back. She nods and excuses herself. “What happened?”

“1–uh,” he clears his throat and looks between Annie’s brothers and me. They’re pissed. I get that, but their anger isn’t going to solve anything.

“Why don’t we step into the library? You guys stay here, I tell the guys.

“We should hear this,” James insists.

“No, you shouldn’t. This isn’t about you and if we’re going to get anywhere we have to be chill about this,”

“We don’t do chill when it comes to Andromeda,” the King growls

“Well, she killed people with witnesses around in one of the biggest social media run packs in all of wolf history. This isn’t just a little murder we can cover up. It’s a scandal involving both our families now. So, calm your fucking tits and let me talk to the kid without you breathing down his fucking neck,”

“She’s right, my King,” Oz says and tries to escort them over to the tea room. “Til make tea,”

“I want to know everything you do when you’re done, the King growls and follows her out. James looks Ace over once time before going with him.

“Tm sorry about that. It’s been a long fucking day, I motion Ace into the library. He sits down on the brown leather sofa, resting his elbows on his knees, and rubbing the back of his neck

“Yeah, he agrees.

“What happened?”

“I landed this afternoon. I took care of some shit I needed to wit: Scofield and there was this little rogue omega in the courtyard. We went back to her villa and we hooked up. We were in the shower when the Lycan walked in. She came in. She knew and the moment she ripped the curtain open I knew. You don’t ever expect to find your mate while you’re balls deep in her roommate, you know?”

I don’t know how to respond to that, I clear my throat trying my best not to laugh. The situation is dire and my stupid giggles are trying to overwhelm me. “Then what?”

“Beth screamed at her and the other girls came running. What did you say

her name

WILS?”

“Andromeda but we just call her Annie,”

“Annie told her to get the fuck out of the shower because I was hers and Beth laughed at her while the other girls tried to pull her out of the bathroom. Then she fucking lost it. She tore them apart. I’ve never seen something like that and I have seen some bad shit on turf wars,”

and you

“Annie is seventeen. She’s only been a Lycan for I don’t know ter months. Give or take. She has control of the Lycan but she’s still very young and Lycans are very territorial. Insanely teritorial about their mates. I’m sorry things happened this way, Ace. But I’m going to side with her on this one. She caught you in the act and you said she asked the girl to walk away before she attacked,”

“I’m with you. I agree. This is my fault, he rubs his forehead roughly. “I don’t know what to say to her. Not only did she see me doing that, she killed for the first time. When she snapped out of it-” he shakes his head. “She’s going to leave isn’t she?”

“Well, she legally can’t, I say softly. He looks up at me confused Lycans have very strict mating laws. Especially because there are very few Lycan females. It’s a population control thing. But you’re definitely going to have to have your work cut out for you where it concerns apologizing and making up for this monumental fuck up,”

“Are you serious?” he sits up almost hopeful and this time I do finally crack a smile.

Yeah. Once that bond is cemented there’s no going back for her. Let me talk to her and her brothers. Is Rick on his way?

“He’s coming back from Magique,” he nods.

“Okay, go home. Let

et me try to defuse the tension and we’ll talk about this later. Try to get some rest. Alone,

“I didn’t expect you to be so level–headed,” he admits.

“It’s weird right? Turns out Lycans are like feral wolves in their skin, I laugh. “It’s a lot easier to be the calm one when they’re the ticking time bombs,”

Im really happy you’re okay, Perry. That you have a home,” he sands up offering me his hand. I stand and shake it “Your majesty,” he bows. “I’ll see you later,”

I walk him out to ensure the guys don’t do anything to him. They’ve multiplied though. Jordan and Silas are sitting in the tea room with them waiting for me. Once he’s in his car and driving away I head into the tea room. I try not to laugh but holy shit that happened to them. What are the chances?

ap until after she gave a warning which is a big fucking deal in cases like this. He’s more “She’s going to be fine. She didn’t snap worried about her rejecting him for what happened,”

“You believe him?” James asks.

“Yeah, I’ve known Ace for a long time. He’s an interesting guy and he’s very pro–choice when it comes to mating laws and women’s rights. He’s the youngest son. He and Mel are the babies. Look him up, you’ll find some cool shit attached to his name. I am going to go talk to her and call the lawyers,”

“You need some rest. It’s been a long night,” the King stands.

“This is more important,” I reach into my back pocket when it vibrates. “Speaking of, vampire girl

“Shit,” he groans. “I can take it if you like,”

“You have a meeting in four hours. Try to get some sleep. I’ll take care of this. I have experience with shit like this cause of Morgan. She killed a couple of Calvin’s groupies when we were in the academy. Knight’s mom even made them revoke her expulsion,”

“Nice,” James smiles.

“I can talk to Lilith.”

Chapter 211

“She’s not going to want to talk to you. She wanted to kill the Vampire King. Now it’s just a technicality and she’s going to have to throw down for the position. Get some rest. You have dark circles under your eyes,”

“That’s not a thing for us,” he shakes his head.

“You do look stressed, man,” Silas adds,

“Ever since we relocated here it’s been one shit storm after another. I’m starting to believe the locals are right. This fucking land is cursed,” Jordan huffs. Im going to bed. My girls are waiting for me.”
