Bait Novel 123
Chapter 123 “Don’t start,” she shakes her head. “He’s a nobleman,” “And?” she shrugs. “You know I don’t f****k with high ranks,” “He’s your mate, Mack,” “Look what having a mate has done to you, Perry. You used to be the baddest b****h I knew,” “Just because I’m mated doesn’t change that. I was mated to your brother,” “Darren held you back. We all know that,” “What are you talking about? How can you say that?” “It’s the truth, Perry. Darren kept you on a short leash. This guy is no different. We’re not the kind of people you keep on a leash. We’re the problem. It’ll always be that way,” she huffs. “Maybe, I don’t want to be a problem anymore,” “Maybe, you’ve let this f****ing a**ole domesticate you and now you want to be a good girl. Raise a bunch of little princes and princesses. What a f***ng waste,” “No one said anything about kids. Maybe one day. Not now. Getting mated isn’t the end of the world, Kenz,” “Says the girl who stopped everything she was when my f***ing idiot brother was murdered by a rogue of all things,” “What happened to you?” I ask upset to hear her talk about Darren that way. “It doesn’t matter,” “It matters to me. I looked for you. I needed and you were nowhere. All I had to go on was an I’m glad you’re alive. What was I supposed to do with that? Did the old man take you in?” I ask. She shifts uncomfortably. “Mackenzie,” “No, he didn’t. He didn’t do anything I didn’t consent to,” “What did he do, Kenz?” the longer she stays silent, the more worried I become. There are so many things that f***ing a**le could have done to her and I’m terrified of what it is.
“I joined the rebirth program,” The car skids on the empty road when I hit the brakes. I turn my body to face her. “What?” I growl. “Why the f*** would you do that?” “I was supposed to deliver Alice. I knew when you woke up, you were going to kill that **h and the f***g rogue. So, I declined and offered myself up in the exchange,” Chills break out all over my body. “And then?” “I have a son. His name is Hunter. He’s four,” she says tightly. “And the father?” “I don’t know. I was inseminated. The deal was to give him a child and that was it. I was done, but there were complications. 1/3 08:07 Wed, Nov 6 Chapter 123 • Hunter needed me. He doesn’t anymore and he took him,” “When did you plan on telling me?” 88%1 +5 “I don’t know if I was going to tell you. I made a deal with the Falcon, Perry. He could f***k us all over if I try to take him. And he’s-” she growls and looks out the window. “He’s like him. A f***ing wraith. I don’t know anything about raising a child much less a wraith. He sparks, Per. Like a ***ng Pikachu,” “Mack-” “I don’t want you to fix it. There’s nothing to fix. I made the exchange. I have a lot of issues, Perry. You better than anyone knows that. That man is not my mate. I will not accept him. Not now, not ever. So, just drop it. Let’s find your crazy a*** mother-in-law and take her back. We’ll cross that
bridge when we get to it,” I unbuckle my belt and scoot closer to hug her. She tenses up tightly before she relaxes and silently starts crying. “Mack, I’d give anything to hold Rain in my arms,” I tighten my hold on her. “We can’t just let that sick f***k get away with this,” “I don’t want to do anything about it,” she pushes me back gently. “What am I going to do with a kid, Perry? I can’t even take care of myself,” “I should have looked for you better. I should-” “Stop,” she covers my mouth. “You’re not my mom. I made a choice. Let me live with it. Just-I don’t know. Tell me how you’re the Lycan Queen now. Make mad at you so I can stop thinking,” “Cal sold me to him,” I say starting the car back up. “He’s kind of a pretty boy. Was raised right and a bunch of ugly shit happened to him. All of it from his family. Then the idiot bonded to me while I was in the middle of my final feral state,” “When you say raised right…” she glares at me. “I mean he had everything. Parents, siblings, proper etiquette, a promising future,” “You’re simp too,” she rolls her eyes. “If his life was so great, why are we hunting his mother?” “It was all a lie. Shit came crashing down when his mate showed up married to his brother. It tore them apart. We have him locked in a cage not even the old man can get into. Lots of secrets,” “What did he need you for?” “Lycans are big on traditions. He had to be married and mated to be coronated. He needed someone to do that. His brother was killing anyone he got close to. Female Lycans aren’t as expendable. Then there’s me who is denied death,” all the f***ing time. “F***k,” she laughs. “That is wild. Is his brother hot?” “They could be twins. The j***k and the a***le,” “Well, he has that going for him. The Lycan King is cute. What does he plan on doing with him? Public execution?” “Yeah, right,” I snort. “He wants to reform him,” “And then let him go? Oh, he’s like Dad,” she huffs. “F***ng heroic a***es. I can see why you
like him,” “Nike him because he’s the complete opposite of us. He’s a good person. Just kind of spoiled and shit is only going to get worse. Everyone wants to give the King and Queen the best of everything,” “Why don’t we put out an APB on his mom? Have one of them bring her back to him and we can go do whatever the f***k 2/3 +5 08:07/ Wed, Nov 6 Chapter 123 Violetta is doing,” “This is a family affair. Unlike wolves, Lycans know how to mind their business,” “Oh, I like these a***** a little more already,” she smiles. “Dar is laughing at us wherever the f****k he is,” “I hope he’s not watching,” I sigh. “Do you love him?” she asks. “The Lycan, I mean,” “I love him. I’m just not in love with him,” “What’s the difference?” “I love you, but I’m not in love with you,” “Oh,” she nods. “If I weren’t Darren’s sister, would you let me smash?” “I hate you,” I shoot her an evil side glance making her laugh. “I missed you,” “F***k, I missed you too,” she smacks my arm. “Someone bombed Redwood when you were off being Cinderella in London,” “I read the report. Dad f***ng called Tyler,” I roll my eyes. She squeaks excitedly. “I knew you still had it in you,” she grabs my arm and pulls me to her. I swerve into the opposite lane causing a group of passing cars to k at me. “Mack,” I growl at her straightening the car. “/le,” ENTProperty belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
