He’s an Alpha She doesn’t Care novel Chapter 67

Jared

He was getting ready for a late morning run, seeing as he didn’t have to go into the office at all, his unit had already headed to the office as was expected of them, as he stood out there drinking a sports drink, in prep for his run.

He picked up Wynta’s scent on the breeze, and turned his eyes to the street below, and saw her coming this way with Kyan right next to her. She was wearing jeans and a tee–shirt, her everyday casual clothes. He watched her walk all the way into the building and smiled to himself.

Kyan looked right up at him and Jared nodded to him; he could also see the car just pulling up as well. None of them were scent masked anymore, he’d told them to drop that last night. Nolan and his unit now knew exactly how many men he had on Wynta, so there was no need for them to hide.

He pulled his joggers on and left his apartment and casually leaned himself on the wall outside of her new place, he could smell her in the corridor, so he knew she was in her apartment, he’d wait for her to come out, she’d see that note he’d put on her bedroom wall.

She stepped out and rolled her eyes at him when she saw him, likely expecting it, he thought, and did it shock him that she’d state that to him? Her having a man in her apartment? A little, considering what was going on between them, but then also not so much at the same time.

He knew she was trying to antagonize him, perhaps she was looking to be punished by him, or maybe she was trying to see what he’d do with those very words. It could be either of those things with this woman. She wasn’t really like others around him.

They weren’t a couple, so she could technically see anyone she wanted to, as could he. Even though he’d not reacted to her words, he didn’t really like the idea of that. Her having a man down here in her apartment, and him having to know about it. He was pretty certain she’d go out of her way to make sure that he did know as well.

She’d likely have that man out there on the balcony, for him to hear, smell and see. Now that she knew he could see her place from his, she was tormentative enough to try and annoy him with it, he thought. He let it go; he had no right to tell her she couldn’t do that.

He walked with her down the corridor. “A pity, you know, those ties I bought; going to waste and all, seeing as you’re moving in on time.”

She shook her head. “I’m certain there are others you can use them on,” she stated as she pressed the button for the lift.

“Probably,” he nodded. “I’ve talked to the boys trailing you today, and they’ll have things brought here and put inside your apartment… I see you had no trouble accessing it.”

“No, I guess someone is obsessed with me knowing his name.” She clucked her tongue and shook her head a little. “I didn’t pick you for the needy type, Jared.” She smiled right at him.

He chuckled himself now, “Ah, just like the one who wants me to put her name in every time I enter my apartment. She must be desperate to have me think about her.” Two could play that game. He smiled right at her, un–phased by her words. He kind of liked playing with her, more than he probably should.

They stepped out of the elevator, and he walked her to the waiting car, “You should let the boys drive you today.”

“I should do a lot of things from your perspective,” she stated blandly.

“Hmm, I could think of one that would make me very happy, though you mightn’t get the same satisfaction as I do out of that, huh.” He chuckled, pulled on his sunglasses and bid her farewell, turned and headed on down the street for his morning run.

He was twenty minutes into that run when his phone strapped to his arm rang and his ear buds connected to it with just one touch of his finger “Hello?” he asked.

“Son?” his father questioned, likely picking up on his breathing.

“Out on a run,” he answered.

“How far from the office are you? I have a Beta Yale on the line stating his Alpha wants a meeting with myself, I think you should be here for it.”

“Hmm,” Jared stopped running and turned to look about himself to estimate his route back,” Do I need to be dressed for the office or just come as is?”

“As is, is fine. You’re suspended anyway,” his father stated.

“Then half an hour or so,” Jared answered, and headed for the office. He did want to know just what that Alpha had to say for himself.

“Alright, see you then, son, I’ll allow him into the building but not my office until you get here,” his father stated and disconnected the call.

Today was going to be interesting for him, and today he was certain that he and his father were about to get some answers regarding Wynta’s past as well. She wasn’t forthcoming on that, but he was certain this Alpha would be if he wanted their assistance. Not that Jared thought his father was going to give it, at all.

Wynta had rejected that Alpha, turned herself rogue and moved away from her home pack, had never returned to it in all those years as far as they knew, so her stance for him and his father to see was clear. As should have been her words to that man’s Beta.

Jared moved himself once they were both seated, walked around his father’s desk to stand as an heir would; to his father’s left, though he again leaned on the man’s desk to appear casual.

Though it was a full statement of the hierarchy of the pack, and it wasn’t lost on Nolan at all. “Where is your unit?” Jared asked him. “Trailing Wynta to try and get her alone, like you’ve been doing all week?”

“No, and I came on my own to show you I’m of no threat,” Nolan stated and leaned back in the chair to stare at him.

“Your intent, Nolan?” his father asked, interrupting them.

Nolan looked at Edward and nodded, “To take her home to the pack where she belongs.”

“She doesn’t belong there.” His father shook his head.

“She actually does. Was born into the pack.” Nolan stated, “No one knows why she left it, not even me. I was away at Alpha College. My father thought someone had snatched her, he spent weeks looking for her.”

“Why would your father think that?” Jared asked, though he knew this Alpha was lying, about him not knowing why she had left. He was the reason she left that pack.

“She was missing for four days prior to her complete disappearance, came back to the pack starved and dehydrated and scarred from wearing a silver cuff. Someone took her, and she managed to get away, I can only guess. Then she vanished just a few days later once more and was severed from father, and no one has seen her since, or that is what her file reads.”

She got away? Jared frowned at hearing that. He’d seen the scar on her right wrist, it was from a silver cuff, not a rope laced with silver, and being wolf–less, it was unlikely she could get away from a captor unless they wanted her to. He’d just presumed that the scar was from a pack punishment. Not a k********g.

“So, this happened when she was how old?” Jared asked.

“18.” Nolan stated.

So Jared was right about this Alpha and everything he did to Wynta. She’d barely been a girl of 18 when this asshole tried to coerce her into believing she was his, and his Beta’s Mate. She’d rejected him over it, and then walked away from that pack the moment he was gone from it.
