-Are you still upset?- I ask him. He flinches hard and steps away from me on instinct.
Jonas," his mother sees his reaction and stands up worriedly.
"You startled me." he roars. I could have hurt you,"
"I'm sorry." I step back watching his eyes turn pitch black. He turns away and straightens himself out. He puts his hands on his head like he's trying to piece his head back together. Til try not to do it again,"
"What is going on?" his mother demands.
"He's not used to the pack link," Jacob answers for me. "My mate had trouble with it in the beginning as

easier for you. You're only linked to her. I was linked to my entire pack, he pulls his collar down to reveal a scar on his collarbone. "Ellie fractured it in three places and dislocated my shoulder. Both of you should be careful,"
"Holy shit." I breathe out. "That was terrifying."
"I should get going. Jake says when I step to him and the King growls at me.
"Great" the King says tightly and we watch him leave.
"That was really **y, Jonas," Andromeda comes over to us. "He like wouldn't shut up about how great Perry is.'
He does that," I nod. "I am going to give him time to cool off before approaching. He's swung at me a few times. This is the first time he warns me. That scares me more than when he's swung at me for saying mean shit to him. We fight a lot when we drink.
“Finally, something normal, she nods. "He told us your credit score.
"He did Alegra laughs.
"He doesn't talk to a lot of people. So, I'm glad he did to you, I clear my throat. "Change the subject or I'll use the mind thing again," “Silas crashed a bunch of cars on his way out of the city," the king says immediately.
"You two mother***rs can never behave yourselves when you're alone," Alegra shouts "You do this every time you go out,"
"This is the first time we go out, I try to defend us. Her eyes don't turn black they're pale, Void of everything and with her whole ice queen vibes, it's petrifying.
"Not you. Him and Silas," she puts her hands on her hips.
"You should learn to just keep quiet, Little Wolf, Andromeda laughs. "I love this one, Joney. You should reconsider not keeping her. What is she going to do? Kill herself?"
"I'm standing right here,"
I know. Look at you. So cute and small," she pats my head.
"Is that your urge to punch her or mine?" I whisper.
Td say both, the King answers keeping his gaze on her. I can see how the mind thing would come in handy now."
"Mom, they're going to talk shit about me in their brains," she points at us,

"Everyone, really, he admits, Ilis mom looks between the two of us and smiles.
"Just-" she raises her hands up and then walks back to the fancy couches deciding not to deal with the entire situation. -There is no way we just fit like this- I tell him.
"How do I use it?" he whispers.
Think really hard of me
"Eww," Andromeda grimaces.
"Not like that. Unless that works for you," I tell him. "But I would like to clarify that I didn't mean that in the original statement,

"Not working." he shakes his head.
"Mmm, try touching your mark and focusing on how that feels,
"And describe it. Andromeda adds.
"No, you don't want that," I laugh.
"Why not? What does it feel like?" she gives me a hard pat. I take a step away from her. Enough to be out of arms,
"Umm-" I shake my head trying to warn her.

"Like fingering yourself, their mother says from behind us. My mouth hangs open and squeak comes out of my mouth. She said that, She really said that to her sixteen-year-old.
“D***mn, Ally. You and your family straight up don't give a f*** croak.

shifted for the first time. It's time she learns the basics. She's not a baby anymore. Time to grow up," she scoffs.
"You two always make people uncomfortable. We are going to not be here anymore," the King grabs my arm and pulls me away with him.
"Bye, guys, I'll see you around, I guess,"
"Bye, Perry, they both harmonize.
"Officially, creeped the f***k out." I mumble to myself and try to keep up with the beast hauling me away. "On a scale of one to I can't wait to f***ng* to strangle you several times now. I've almost done it twice,"
"Oh, will you be sharing your dislikes at the-"

"Pernicious," he stops and spins around in a split second to face me. My body slams against his front and he wraps his arms around me tightly so we're inches from each other. "I need you to shut the f*k u*p already. There are six hours left of daylight and I am already exhausted with you. Yeah?" "Yes," I squeak and nod for a visual confirmation.
-I could kiss you- his voice echoes in my head. I press my lips together.
"What
"Did you mean to do that?" I ask. He stares at me for a moment

"Do what?" he asks.
"In my head. You said I could kiss you," I grin. The tips of his cars start to get red. "I wouldn't. We're having a lot of fun. Id hate for you to ruin it He swallows hard and nods before releasing nie. I take a step back and clear my throat.
"Don't fall behind." he says and starts down the step
I am taking the lift. I go over to it and pull the lever. I scream when he appears in front of the lift just before it touches down completely. "You have superspeed?" I shout. He smirks. "You can spider monkey me. That would be both ***d and amazing at the same time,
"I don't- what is Spider Monkey you?"
"I am going to lie to you and say it's a variation of Spider-Man so it'll drive you crazy to know what it really means and you look it up. The vampires call that securing a date, I call it a movie night and we can invite everyone. Including your idiot brother so I can put a tracker on him next time he's around. I brought some with me,
"That-" he stares at me for a moment. "You're **g nuts. That is a terrible idea,"
"Well, you're not the only Lycan royal I know. So, see what happens if you don't do it, I shrug.
"I'm the master here, he growls.
"Do you feel master-y?" I laugh.
I see why everyone hates you, he sighs.
"Show me what you were going to show me: I point behind him.
That was shameless, I admit. But we need to pinpoint this guy. Watch him. See if he has a routine. It shouldn't be hard to tag him. Push comes to shove, I let him hit me next time. If he kills the, they still get that information.
"What are you going to do, bug his phone?" he asks. I crouch down.
-That is the ***t thing I've ever heard.-
-What are you doing?-
-Nice. You got it. Anger. You have to think of me negatively and I didn't want to get hit. I was standing right next to you.-
-Why is bugging his phon***d he bends down to pick me up and then pats my head. That is so patronizing. I want to bite his f***g hand.
-If you can think it up. So can he. It's most likely he's going to toss the phone as soon as he leaves. He takes my hand and pulls me with him. I have to power walk to keep up with him.
-Did Darren create something small enough to put on his skin?- there is a sharp bite in his tone. I feel it go through my body like when you press down one of those shock-pen toys. It makes me laugh.
"What?" he asks out loud.
That was such a me move, I throw my hands
What the ****? Why are we taking so much from each other like this?"
"What?" he asks again.

"That was jealousy. Have you always been like that?"
"Yes, especially with things that belong to me. We're fully mated now," he reminds me.
This moved so fast, 1 growl "Regrets were made four nights ag
I don't deny that he agrees. "You were the insecure one in your relationship?"
"When you get the really nice versions of the dictionary, Jonas. There is a picture of me as a visual example under the definition of insecure. That's
not me bragging. That's me warning you. My therapist fired me last year. It was Jake's idea. She has to put a warning stamp on my file, so we couldn't get another one,"
"Why?" he asks looking me over.
"Why are you?" I shoot back.
"You first. You're the one bragging." he keeps walking. Slower this time.
"Maybe because I lost my parents young and was raised by a bunch of people who loved me, but never included me in the cool ***t they did. Until I met this guy who called me Trashbag until he found out I was his mate,"
"Ooof," he laughs. “Oh, s***t,” he stops gripping his stomach. People stop to stare at us as he stands there laughing. I knew what you were going to say was going to be ***d up but I can't stop,"
You're turn, Lycan King, 1 scoff.

paper.
"You kept that?" and you keep it in your pocket? Who are you reminding with it?
"I am going to keep it forever. I scrapbook when I'm stressed. It gets weird,"
"You scrapbook?"
"What do you do when you're stressed out?"
"I go for a run or to the gym,"
"You can tell," he points at my arm.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"You are all kinds of aggressive. I've never been with an emo girl before, he smirks and keeps walking. "It's kind of hot,"
I'm not an emo girl,"
"Fine, an alcoholic. Whatever you want to call it. I was trying to be nice,"
"You're an **ole,"
"So are you," he shrugs. "Come on. I want people to look at us being pieces of shit together. I cleared my afternoon for you,"
