He’s an Alpha She doesn’t Care novel Chapter 59

Jared

He sat in that meeting not really focused upon it anymore, he had bigger problems, and he knew it; their pack alliance with the Obsidian Pack went back a full generation, they got along well, respected each other and gave assistance where it was needed. It wasn’t about to suddenly flounder and fall apart if Jared wasn’t listening to the meeting.

He didn’t know what to do about Wynta and the current heated situation in her office. He also had to try and maintain that relationship between Dwane and the human woman he was suddenly interested in. Who he had a cutsie nickname for, and was annoyed by Wynta having insinuated that he was in on Jared’s cruel joke.

Dwane, he could see, was trying to placate his marketing cutie, by telling her it wasn’t as Wynta stated, but he was having trouble convincing her. She was obviously loyal to Wynta, which was good for Wynta, but not likely going to be good for Dwane.

They’d only been back here in the US for five weeks, and though that floor had seen him and Wynta interact with each other, it wasn’t what he would call the building of a relationship. She’d also not been in the office for two of those five weeks. Had been in the hospital and then off on leave at his father’s assistance.

So, really, it had only been three weeks that they’d been interacting with each other. It wasn’t lovey–dovey in any way. So, it could be seen that he was just playing her for a fool. Not that his father was going to like that, he didn’t really like it himself either, he would much rather everyone think they were a couple. Though he also knew that was so he could walk down there and torment the woman anytime he liked.

His phone rang, and he looked at it, frowned and stated, “Father, I have to take this, it’s Jenson.” His father nodded and Jared walked from the office to go and stand out in the hallway to answer it. Dwane got up and followed him. All of them knew it was Jenson’s team that was watching Wynta.

“Jenson.” He answered the call. “What happened?” he asked, knowing this man wouldn’t call at all unless something was going down, or had gone down. He looked at his watch. Wynta had walked from the building a good 40 minutes ago. Had she gotten into trouble? No text had come back to say she’d returned to the office.

“A lot.” Came the response. “Firstly, Wynta is fine. On her way back to the office, but she got into an argument with the Beta from that pack tracking her. She also called him Yale. The Alpha’s name is Nolan we now know.

“She definitely knows them and with full familiarity. What I got from their not–so–private conversation, because she wasn’t going to get up and go anywhere with that Beta, is that she was one of, or both of their Mates. It wasn’t fully clarified, but from what I heard, there was an attempt from that Beta and his Alpha to coerce her into believing she was both their Mates. She didn’t believe it, I can only guess as to why they would do that…”

“Hmm, looking to both bed her at the same time,” Jared stated, “Likely they’ve got a fetish. She could well have been seen as an easy target, being wolf–less inside their pack.” He didn’t like hearing it, but all manner of things happened out there to the wolf–less, even an Omega could overpower them easily.

“Well, they didn’t get what they wanted from her, is my understanding. She threatened that Beta right to his face, uncaring of the ramifications, she, I believe, like you stated, was spoiling for a fight. Quite aggressive with that Beta.”

“The threat?” he asked curiously if she could threaten them. Then she had something on them, which is what his father had reported she’d stated herself, to him the other day.

“That she would tell Peter and Avery if they didn’t leave her alone. I can only guess both their fathers, which means she never voiced it back then. But she also said something else that was interesting, that if she did tell Peter and Avery even now. Nolan wouldn’t get the seat of Alpha, which would, I believe, also see that unit being stepped down, or at least the Beta along with the Alpha’s heir.”

“Right.” Jared nodded. “Anything else, Jenson?”

“Mm, there was a rather odd statement by the Beta, as Wynta walked off and left him. Stated they’d found her father, and the man was looking for her himself. Though his name wasn’t mentioned. Nothing was clarified on that at all. Wynta also didn’t seem to care at all about those words. She didn’t even stop walking or look at him, just hollered, ‘Go tell someone that cares.’ I kind of got the impression that was the Beta’s trump card.”

“And it didn’t work like they thought it would,” Jared mused.

“No, not at all.” Jenson agreed with him.

“See her safely back to the office,” Jared stated. There wasn’t anything he could do about that encounter, but it made him think they weren’t here to snatch her. Maybe there was something else going on, perhaps this was all about who her father was. She either knew and didn’t care or she had no idea and didn’t care to know.

“I’m trailing her at a distance, that Beta, Yale. He saw me after their conversation. I made myself known, he kind of just stared at me for a moment and then just turned and walked away. He looked very unhappy about their confrontation, like he expected it to go differently.

She firmly and clearly put him in his place. She can, at any time, call their Alpha and tell them what they did. She’s not afraid of them, challenged him without much thought.”

That made Jared smile, she was very stubborn. He knew Wynta wasn’t about to let herself be pushed around. He stood out there and thought about that. Jenson’s words after he got off the phone.

He looked at Dwane. “They tried to coerce her into believing the pair of them were her Goddess–Gifted Mates. Likely thought that because she was wolf–less she’d fall for it, but even back then she’d been stubborn and able to say no.” He nearly chuckled to himself as Dwane nodded.

“I can actually see that myself,” Dwane concurred with him.

Jared could picture her staring at that 17 or 18–year–old Alpha and his Beta and her telling him she didn’t believe them, couldn’t smell it or feel it and told them ‘No‘, likely with full certainty.

It was, however, no wonder that she couldn’t be brought in so easily. She had trust issue where Alpha–blooded wolves were concerned, something that he now understood stemmed from her own home pack’s, Alpha’s heir. “But then that Alpha heir turned out to be her actual Goddess–Gifted Mate.” He leaned back on the wall and shook his head as he voiced his thoughts out loud so Dwane could hear him.

“You’re thinking her own Goddess–Gifted Mate tried to coerce her into believing he and his Beta were her Mates prior to her being able to scent them out on a full moon.” Dwane followed his thought process.

“Yes, she was either 17 or had just turned 18 but hadn’t seen a full moon yet when it happened,” he smiled now, at the thought of how strong–willed she was even back then. His girl was smart and tough. “When they scented each other out that night, she likely rejected him over what he had tried to do to her.”

“Nolan was rejected by Wynta, not the other way around,” Dwane snorted. “An Alpha rejected by a wolf–less she–wolf, I bet that hurt his ego.”

“Yes, she kicked him to the curb and then left that pack. She said he wasn’t in it. I bet they’re the same age. He left for Alpha College the day after the full moon and told his father he didn’t scent anyone out. She walked away uncaring, having made her decision before that moon even set, that if she did scent him out, he wasn’t worthy of her, because of what he did prior to the full moon.”

That Alpha had caused his own rejection. What an i***t. He shook his head, “She’s not looking for another pack because she thinks, as a wolf–less she–wolf, she’s actually better off away from wolves and the things ranked members do to get what they want. That she being wolf–less would be a target for that.”

Dwane sighed “Jared, you realize your games with her, are just keeping her to that thought process right.”

“Hmm, not much I can do about it at this point. I can only apologize, I guess,” he nodded.

“What do you make of that comment on her father?” Dwane asked after a few minutes of silence.

“There are still too many things unknown about Wynta herself for me to make any real deductions about that one. Other than she likely has never known who he was, and doesn’t care to know either.” He shook his head.

“Could be an orphan or have a mother that never mentioned who he was,” Dwane murmured thoughtfully.

“It’s likely one of those things,” Jared nodded slowly as he thought about it, “because if she was born into that pack, the parents would be registered to it, and she’d know who they were. “Jared followed along with his Beta now.

“So not her home pack?” Dwane asked.

“Hmm, it could still be depending on where she was born, but also maybe not at the same time. If she’s an orphan, found out in the woods, her lineage would be anyone’s guess.”

“Jared, what if her lineage is not what we all think, not even what she thinks it is.” Dwane murmured now and leaned off the wall to look right at him.

“Her father is looking for her,” Jared mused as he stared at Dwane as something occurred to him, “What if she was bled to someone and that overrode her true bloodline…” Oh, his brain was ticking now.

“She could be a hidden Alpha–blood,” Dwane nodded.

“That would account for the very stubborn attitude and Alpha’s do also always look for their children… though she’s wolf–less, so how would he know about her?”

“Hidden,” Dwane sighed now. “She was literally hidden by someone, snatched away as a baby by either her mother or someone else, and hidden to keep her safe.”

“That is not only possible, but plausible.” Jared sighed. Could Wynta be a hidden Alpha? She wouldn’t even know, she only scented of warrior rank, and a lowly ranked warrior at that. If she was that, whoever hid her was looking to keep her out of a packhouse and away from where any visiting Alpha could come across her.
