Jared
He sat staring at Wynta a little more than frustrated with her, even knowing they were all thinking she was going to be snatched off the street by those wolves. Still, she didn’t seem to care, and not even Andy picked up any concern from her about it. That annoyed him quite a bit. He needed her to want to come in, this should have done that, and right this very moment he didn’t see that it had.
Was it just him thinking this Alpha and his unit were a threat to her? Maybe they actually weren’t a threat at all, and it was exactly like what she’d said. They were just curious about her having a rogue status after all this time. But at least now he did have clarification on who this pack was, they were her home pack.
But six warriors. That was what bothered him, that Alpha and his unit had brought back up now, because they thought they were going to need it. “Where is your home pack from Wynta, I need to gauge the threat properly?” He asked her in all seriousness.
“There shouldn’t be one at all,” she stated, and he stared right at her pointedly. He wasn’t going to be taking no for an answer, “Fine, it’s in Wyoming. Halfway across the country from here,” she waved it off, as if it was nothing.
He frowned at her. “No it’s not, that’s just three states if you count this one.” Jared replied.
Only to have her shake her head and state, “It’s on the eastern side of the state, so that makes it halfway across the country.”
“It’s barely a five–hour flight with Wolf Airlines, one could get here in 15 or so hours by car,” Dwane stated after he looked it up.
“I heard you looked at apartments in the pack’s complex today, with a view to moving in on the weekend, Jared stated, “I think that is a very good idea. I will give you until Saturday and then, Wynta, I will move you myself if I have to. Unless, of course, you’re willing to let me take you for initiation into the pack.”
“I’m not, there is no need.” She shook her head no.
“Why so bloody stubborn about this?” he grated out at her. Any other female rogue would be asking for sanctuary by now, but no, of course, not Wynta. She was too freaking stubborn for her own good. “You were nearly snatched off the street,” he stated point blankly, trying to get his point across. “Had to have Kyan, be all over you, and kiss you, as if he was trying to force you to submit to him.” he muttered.
He’d actually not liked seeing it, that wolf all over her. He’d not known what Kyan was going to do. All he’d stated was he needed back–up, he was at the traffic lights near the office, and he had a tail with warriors in it, and he could see three more by the office from where he’d been parked. He’d stated he would pull up and stall for time, give them warriors something to think about, that he and his unit best get down there.
He’d stepped out of the elevator to see Kyan kissing the hell out of Wynta, and it had irritated him more than a little. Not even he’d kissed the woman yet, had kept his mouth from hers the other night, even when he’d not wanted to.
He knew it was all an act, but it had actually annoyed him to see Kyan all over her, and the hit he’d dished out for it, had probably been a little more than he should have gotten. Jared sighed internally, he shouldn’t have thoughts like that.
It was just a game and nothing more. The moment she was initiated into the pack, he was going back to Europe, and his company, and he knew it. He was only trying to seduce her, so she’d willingly say yes to being initiated, to get all of him; nothing more.
Today was Wednesday “Two days, Wynta, to contact your landlord and tell them you’re moving out, you don’t have that much stuff. Is the furniture yours or the landlords?”
She was glaring at him, and he knew why. He was making demands of her, and she didn’t like being told what to do. “I mean it, I will come to your place, pick you up and carry your ass to the apartment, if you don’t agree to move willingly.
“That is the only compromise I’m willing to do right this minute, or I can…” he smiled at her now, though it wasn’t exactly friendly, more I’ll be getting what I want kind of smile. “Call father and tell him what just happened, what do you think he will insist on…”
He knew his unit were all looking at him now, he could actually feel it, he wasn’t one to use his father to get what he wanted, because he didn’t need it, he was more than capable of handling things on his own. But his father had threatened her himself with moving her in with Jared. She probably didn’t understand that completely, but he had a feeling it meant being tethered to him, so she had no choice.
She was thinking about his father’s words right this very minute, being moved in with him, and that would likely have people talking about them living together. Something she didn’t want, and he knew it.
“Do you think you want that, what his solution will be?” he offered up, after a full minute of silence, and her jaw actually ticked. The answer was no, but she still didn’t say anything. He pulled his phone out. “I’ll call him so you can hear the conversation.” He stated simply.
“Fine.” She snapped and stood up.
“Oh, no you don’t.” He shot up to his feet and stepped in front of her, barring her from leaving his office. “Fine what, Wynta? Spell it out for me with my unit as witnesses. Exactly what that means to you. I’m not so stupid as to think you’ll not turn it into something else the minute you’re out of my office. I understand Rogues play by their own rules. Know you like doing that yourself.”
She was glaring up at him, and he smiled at her. That look was enough for him to know she wasn’t going to play by his rules, she was already thinking of a way out of it or around it. Been thinking about it since his father had made that comment, he thought.
Again, that long silence, and he smiled at her. “I guess I’ll be moving you then.”
“Why can’t you just leave me alone? I never asked for anyone’s attention.” She bit out and he caught the anger.
He ignored it completely. That was just a natural rogue response to being told what to do, when the rogue didn’t want to be ordered about. “No, you didn’t, but now you’ve got it,” he stated. “I don’t think you’ve grasped the true gravity of the situation that just happened, downstairs either.”
“What are you talking about?” she muttered.
He smiled and shook his head; no, it seems she’d not. He would leave that for now. She’d been gone from a pack for so long that she’d forgotten what it would look like to other wolves. If he, the Alpha’s heir had just punched and yanked another wolf off her. Then picked her up and carried her from the scene.
It was going to spread quickly, even with the humans that worked here. Those receptionists downstairs were all human, and they’d all gotten an eyeful of him attacking a man for kissing her, and him taking her away. It actually looked like he was her boyfriend, and had not taken kindly to another touching her. She’d also been seen trying to fight off Kyan, and he’d been dragged away by Jared’s men as well.
By the end of the day, they’d be in a relationship for all in this building to hear about. His father would be happy, until he found out that it was all an act. But Wynta here was going to hate it in all likelihood. But it was too late now. He responded on instinct was all to have that other pack see she wasn’t theirs for the taking.
“Wynta, explain to me what you agreed to.” He brought the topic back to her, and her moving into an apartment in the pack’s residential complex.
“I’ll move out of my place and into an apartment. By Saturday.”
“Which apartment complex. Speak plainly, woman.” He stated, “There will be no hidden meaning behind your words today.”
She glared up at him and muttered, “Your father’s apartment building, third floor apartment five.” She stated.
Jared nodded. “Good, I’ll put it in writing for you and come and have you sign that personally. You’ll also be getting an escort home and guards until you move. No arguments,” he stated all his Alpha tone showing. She would be falling into line this time whether she liked it or not.
“Whatever,” she stated, “Can I go now Alpha blood?”
He snorted at her word usage; she was trying to remind him he had no control over her. “Yes,” he stated, and stepped out of her way, waved her towards his door.
He shook his head and found his entire unit staring at him. “What?” he muttered.
“Alpha blood?” he was questioned.
“Hmm, it’s not the first time I’ve heard her use it. It’s done to remind me she doesn’t respect me or have to do as I want.” He waved it off. “I don’t take offense to it, it’s a typical annoyed or angry rogue response to an Alpha, they’re not aligned to, dishing out orders. Father also likely cajoles her all the time. Me not so much,” he stated.
He walked over to his desk and sat down. “Go scout that bloody Alpha and find out just how many wolves he’s got, and where he’s staying as well.” he waved them out of his office.
He took a moment to just settle himself before pulling up a blank document and typing up a contract for the agreement that Wynta had just made, to move into the pack’s apartment building no later than Saturday; apartment five on the third floor. Then he printed two copies of it and emailed a copy of it to his father, “I got her to move into the apartment complex, step one done.” Was all it read.
He was on his way to her office when he got a reply, “I’ll believe it when I see it with my own eyes, son.”
Jared huffed he’d not yet heard. “I’ll file a full report of today’s events that lead up to this, by the end of the day.” He sent back, and got nothing in return. He knew he was holding in–house interviews today.
He walked on to the 7th floor and many people looked at him. He caught the whispers right away, news travelled fast even in the human world. He smiled and nodded at several people, as he casually strolled through the marketing department.
He knocked lightly on Wynta’s office door, and she looked up at him, a frown touched her face. “How’s your knee?” he asked as he walked in. He didn’t bother to close the door, it was too late. Everyone out there was talking about if they were in a relationship.
“It’s fine.” She stated, “What do you want, Mr Hayes?”
He smiled. “You should just call me Jared, Wynta.” He stated as he walked across to her, he didn’t take up a seat like he normally would across from her. Stepped right to her side and stood next to her chair, as he placed that contract down in front of her. “For you to sign.” He stated simply and pulled a pen from his pocket.
“Do you need to be on this side of the desk?” she muttered as she picked it up and read through it.
