He’s an Alpha She doesn’t Care novel Chapter 66

Wynta

She didn’t think Jared was lying about Nolan and his unit, and it annoyed her that, that Alpha had not heeded her words. Which she knew would have been passed on by his Beta, he should have just left to go back to his own pack. She’d made herself perfectly clear that she wanted nothing to do with them. She’d even made it clear she didn’t care to find out who her father was either.

So, there was no reason for them to stay. If her so–called father was looking for her, and they knew that, they could just leave and go tell him where she was. That man could turn up and try to speak to her himself. He’d get the same reception Nolan did, if he could prove he was her father that was. She wasn’t some child that hopelessly pined away for a family.

She had never really done that, not even as a child, she’d always known she was an orphan and just accepted it. The pack hadn’t been a horrible place to live, she’d had a few nasty wolves try to bring her down, but couldn’t because she’d not reacted to them. Her raised eyebrow and uncaring dismissive stare, with a slight shake of the head before she walked away was all they got from her.

The Alpha and Luna of that pack had told her once, that just because she didn’t have parents there inside the pack, didn’t mean that she was alone. That there was likely a very good reason she’d been left. That someone had bundled her up tightly and warmly, taken great care of her before leaving her to be found and raised by another.

They had not once ever used the words abandoned her, always stated leaving her to be found and raised by another. They’d told her exactly what she thought; she–wolves didn’t give up their pups for no reason. It was likely done to protect her from someone or something horrid that could happen to her.

She’d accepted that a long time ago, thought they’d told her there was no scent around her, when she’d been found. The one dropping her off had scent masked themselves so as not to be known. She, too, had not smelled of anything that night she’d been found because she’d cried, was also scent masked. It had worn off after many hours and only then had they known what rank she was.

She also knew she’d never been placed with a family because her Alpha and Luna believed that her mother would come back for her one day, and they’d wanted that she–wolf to recognize her. All they’d done was initiate her into the pack. But no one had ever come for her, and she’d certainly not ever considered it would be her so–called father looking for her. If that was even true.

Not with her thoughts about that man and how she’d been created, she shook off the thoughts of the past and muttered, ‘Just leave me alone like you have for the past 14 years.’ Though that thought grabbed at her.

Why, now all of a sudden, was Nolan so persistent… she wondered if her so–called father was someone not to be messed with, or if perhaps Peter had found out the truth about who she’d been to Nolan. She sighed to herself, if that last one was it. She could well imagine Peter would have told Nolan to go and find her and bring her back.

That pack was all about Goddess–Gifted Mates and Peter didn’t think anyone should reject their Fated Mate, regardless of who they were, where they came from or even what they were. She stripped down, took a quick shower and pulled on her bathrobe, maybe that was it. He couldn’t go home until she was with him.

Well, Nolan was in for a rude shock. She’d never accept him back, hadn’t back then and wouldn’t now, and if he did manage to grab her, marking her against her will. Which she did know was completely possible. She was practically human after all, and couldn’t fight off an Alpha, being as weak as a human.

She’d reject him the minute his fangs were retracted for forcing his mark upon her. She was never going to be his. No matter how many times he tried to claim her, she’d always reject him.

She woke at sunrise and groaned a little on the tired side. She didn’t want to be awake at this ungodly hour, but here it was, her eyes were open and there was no going back to sleep, and she knew it. She sat up and texted Tallah to have her text back when she made it home safely, though she had a feeling that if Jared’s statement was right, then Tallah was likely asleep in Dwane’s apartment. Likely in the same bed as that Beta. He’d looked pretty happy about it.

To her surprise, she got a message right back, ‘What did I do last night?‘ Obviously, Tallah was up and awake. She wondered if she was sneaking out of that apartment or trying to. That could be funny. It was unlikely to happen unless Dwane actually allowed it. He’d hear her sneaking away.

‘You had one too many drinks and went home with your dreamy big boss.‘ She replied and chuckled softly to herself.

‘When did he turn up? And I’m aware of where I woke up.’ Then there was a photo sent to her. It was a picture of Dwane sleeping bare chested, on, from what she could tell, his own couch.

The woman had woken up and had in fact sneaked out of his apartment, though she had also stopped to snap a picture of Dwane, it seemed. He was likely faking being asleep, loving the antics going on around him. Pleading ignorance to Tallah sneaking past him or snapping his picture.

‘Hmm, now there’s a photo to blackmail him with, did you sneak out while he slept?‘ Wynta texted.

‘Yes, I did, she sent right back. ‘I’m in a taxi, I can’t be late to work on my first day after my promotion.’

‘I think he’ll forgive you, LOL. Were you half naked when you woke up?‘ Wynta texted her with a chuckle.

‘No, fully clothed.’

‘A bonus.‘ Wynta laughed into her apartment. ‘Good luck at the office today, see you on Monday.‘

She nodded and made her way to the doorman he smiled at her. “Morning Wynta, I hear you’re moving in tomorrow.”

“I am,” she nodded.

He held out a card to her. “Keep this then, so you can access the elevator at all times.”

She took the access card and headed up to her apartment on the third floor, to look about. Punched in the code from the other day, and it didn’t work. She stood and huffed, cleared it and put in Jared, and it gave a soft chime and open. She shook her head a little, he’d been down here already. She didn’t see a point in changing it. He had the master password, being it was pack property, and he was the Alpha that resided in the building.

The apartment was all tiled floors and had a real kitchen with everything she could possibly need. Unlike her two–burner cooktop and tiny fridge, there was a full stove and cooktop, a full pantry, space for a full–sized fridge and an island bench for eating at.

It had a nice sized living area, with a balcony. She stepped outside and leaned on the railing. It would be nice out here to have a glass of wine in the afternoons. She’d buy comfortable outdoor chairs and a small table.

As she walked into the bedroom, she saw the sticky note on the wall and walked over and plucked it off, read it, he’d gone and bought silk ties. “Good luck, Jared, you can only do that if I don’t move in.” She murmured with an amused chuckle and walked into the bathroom where there was a full–sized bath tub, she smiled, she’d not had one in five years that would be nice to relax in.

Wynta snapped pictures of the rooms and stepped out of the apartment to find Jared leaning on the wall. He was dressed more than casually today, in running gear, shorts and a muscle top, though she could tell he’d not been running yet, not an ounce of sweat on him.

He smiled at her, and she rolled her eyes. “I’m going to beat Kyan.” She muttered.

“It wasn’t him. I saw you, I was out leaning on my balcony, and you walked out on to yours.” He chuckled. “Got a nice view of your balcony from up there.”

“Hmm, good you’ll see when I’ve got male company over and stay away.” She smiled at him and saw him raise an eyebrow at her words.
