He’s an Alpha She doesn’t Care novel Chapter 68

Edward

He was getting his first look at this Alpha as he walked in behind a very sweaty Jared. His boy did like to run. Jared was not only taller but bigger in build. Edward also thought his own boy was much more handsome than Alpha Nolan.

This Alpha he now knew was the same age as Wynta. Jared was doing his due diligence and filing all the reports he made, flagging both Alpha units and her protection detail to read them, and even any thoughts he had were sent in an email for Edward to read. His boy knew he wanted all the information on Wynta.

Jared’s thoughts on this Alpha and the research he’d done yesterday were all lined up to that conversation the warriors around Wynta had seen and heard yesterday. This Alpha they now knew had once been Wynta’s Goddess–Gifted Mate; who’d hurt her.

That one act of coercion was likely the very reason Wynta was the way she was. This Alpha had, had her trust once, in all likelihood, and then broke it completely; she’d been smart enough to see through what he’d done, and that very thing had been what had seen her reject him. She saw him as deceitful and untrustworthy.

Edward chastised his boy for not coming fully dressed to this meeting, which would make it appear he didn’t care to be formal with this Alpha. Edward also knew that Jared would just play along. His boy understood him and the games he played better than any of his children.

All bar his youngest daughter, that was, she was the biggest torment to everyone, even more so than Wynta was. It was a pity she no longer lived in the pack and had moved away; he could probably have used Eve to bring Wynta in. Eve would love Wynta likely side with her in everything, and gang up on all of them, to help Wynta torment not only himself, but Jared too now that he was home.

He smiled to himself at the way Jared did the introduction, and then he introduced his son in the same manner, seeing as Jared intentionally left that part out.

He even offered to shake that man’s hand, though he noted Jared did not even budge. His boy it seemed didn’t like this Alpha, and it probably stemmed from the knowledge they’d learned yesterday.

Alphas should never coerce anyone, especially an heir to a pack, not when it was actually their job to stop attempts at coercion and punish those that tried it. But this one had seen fit to use it and on a she–wolf that was likely 17 or 18, one they thought was weak willed because she was wolf–less.

Therefore, she would be easy pickings and wouldn’t report it, because his defense would be why would I, she’s wolf–less‘, or, in this case, he and his Beta would state ‘why would we, she’s wolf–less,’ play the card that no wolf–less could handle both of them.

A part of Edward smiled at Jared’s actions to Alpha Nolan, who had extended his hand to Jared. He’d looked at it, then back to Nolan with a raised eyebrow, but that was it, it was clear he wasn’t going to and Nolan just dropped it back to his side. Edward was right. His boy liked Wynta, she was more than intriguing to his son.

He’d also heard about what game his son was playing with the girl, had chuckled himself about it, and he was pretty certain it had started the day he’d been rendered unconscious by Wynta. There was no actual report on that, but he had done the math on how long his boy would be unconscious, from that aerosoled wolfsbane and what time he’d gotten home. Dwane had kept track of that, it didn’t add up. So to him, that was the first time his boy had played his game of punishment is pleasure with Wynta.

Wynta presented a challenge to him just like Edward had thought she would, and her stubborn refusal to agree to come into the pack and the way Jared was going about trying to get it, amused not only him but his entire unit. Dwane had told him Jared had bought Wynta a replacement dress, not something Jared had ever done before, it was out of character for his boy.

Edward was hoping there was a deeper connection between the two. It hadn’t taken that boy of his long to pull her into his bed, and she still said no to him about being initiated, was defiant even in the bedroom. Maybe they were Mates, and their bodies just knew it before they did.

He was hoping she wouldn’t vanish this full moon and Jared’s band would light up. Wynta would be fun to have around inside the pack. He could only think that once she was a pack member and had let go of that rogue mentality, she’d be a right barrel of laughs. He also wanted to see her reaction as well. Considering the game Jared was playing with her, and she was actually allowing to happen.

He could well imagine it wasn’t going to be just letting Jared sink his fangs into her. She knew what that band on Jared’s wrist would do, and Edward had a feeling she’d make use of it, because that band stopped that very thing.

Wynta could play a game of her own there, because only he could remove that band from Jared. Edward would give her what she wanted as well, because it would be amusing to watch his boy try and convince her, to see what she came up with to torment his boy.

Wynta playing Jared’s little game amused Edward completely, because all Jared was offering was just s*x to Wynta. She wasn’t so stupid as to fall for that. If that was all it took, he’d have initiated her before, he’d had wolves that thought she was pretty go down and ask her out.

Edward turned his eyes on his son. The boy was usually level–headed, and could keep his cool. It seems Wynta was eliciting a primal response in his son. That was interesting to him. “Calm down, Jared, she didn’t fall for it. We know that from the conversation she had, Wynta was likely always smart. She wouldn’t let a wolf like him touch her.” He tried to settle his own son.

“You clearly don’t have all the facts now, do you? Who says I’d never touched her?” Nolan smiled at him now, and there was more than amusement in his voice, almost a smugness to it that showed he had, in fact, likely pulled Wynta into his bed before that attempt at coercion. Likely, that was how it started. Edward now realized. It would be easier to do if they were already lovers prior to the full moon. That made him and his beast angry. What real Alpha did that!

Edward’s head whipped around at the sound of a large snarl ripping from Jared at this Alpha’s words, and he saw Creed push forward and stand Jared’s body all the way up, to stare that Alpha down. Edward shot to his own feet. He’d been angry about it but not reacted to it. Jared and his beast, on the other hand, couldn’t seem to contain themselves. He reached out to put a hand on his son, as Nolan laughed softly into the room.

“Oh, what you can dish it out, but can’t handle it when it’s given back to you. She tastes good, doesn’t she?” Nolan laughed, “Do you think you’re the only one to touch her? Taste her? I’ve at least gotten all of her, unlike you. From all I’ve heard, she won’t submit to you and your wants.

”

“Enough.” Edward shot at him as he saw Jared’s fist ball. It wasn’t just his son but the boy’s wolf that was ticked off. How did this Alpha not get it? That was a full possessive reaction from the beast within the man itself. His eyes move to Nolan. “Unless you want a fight, I suggest you stop Alpha Nolan.”

“Why?” Nolan shrugged. “I’m not afraid to stand my ground, and as you both know now, she’s my Goddess–Gifted or was, she’s not his.” He stated, “Or that band on his wrist would be blue. Nolan pointed right to the moonstone band Jared wore. “So, he’s got no claim on her, he’ll never take her for a Mate, she also knows that, she’s been working with you for years now,

I’ve checked that

“Don’t think I sat in my hotel room and twiddled my thumbs. I did exactly what you all did, looked into her and how long she’s worked here, five years now, I believe. So, if he was her Mate he’d have claimed her already. And she being a rogue, Alpha Edward, you also have no claim on her. You haven’t even brought her into your pack… so why are you protecting her or playing at protecting her, I should say?” Nolan asked.
