He’s an Alpha She doesn’t Care novel Chapter 70

Wynta

She was standing looking at a two–seater couch she thought she might like. It was cream in color, but she was distracted by her phone ringing. She glanced at it and saw it flash Jared. It was a little odd, that he was calling her, he usually just texted.

She dismissed it after only a moment’s thought with a slight smile. She wasn’t in the office today and so, technically, he wasn’t her boss right at that minute. She wasn’t within the pack’s head office grounds, and so could, as a rogue, dismiss even Edwards calls if she wanted to.

She smiled to herself even as she heard Kyan chuckle softly. He’d noticed who was calling as well. “That must be nice to do and know you’ll get no backlash.”

“Hmm, you could leave the company if you like, just to see how it feels.” She smiled at him.

He laughed and shook his head. “No, I have seven brothers and sisters and loving parents, got a good family. But there are times when we all want to do that, though for us, without fear of punishment, no, it’s why we pick up every call.”

She laughed now, she would likely be punished by Jared, but that wasn’t something that she didn’t enjoy so… “Let him come and punish me, I don’t fear it.” she chuckled.

“Oh, we know, your place isn’t soundproof.” He chuckled right back.

She looked right at him and shook her head. “Well, honestly, Kyan, I don’t call it punishment, just a bit of fun.” She shrugged. “Jared thinks he is punishing me, but really, I quite like it. He’s quite skilled and doesn’t seem to itch to have everything, so why not enjoy it?” She wasn’t going to deny it and, yes, any wolf watching her apartment would hear it, even the words that went between herself and Jared. “I think I’ll win in the end. He states he likes delayed gratification, but I like the words no to initiation,” she snorted, and Kyan chuckled once more.

Her phone rang again and Jared’s name appeared on the screen once more.

“Don’t do it, Wynta, he’ll likely turn up,” Kyan snorted. “Unless you’re looking to be punished.”

“Hmm, am I?” she grinned and held her phone out to him. “Do you want to know how it feels to reject the boss‘ call?” She waved it at him; tempting him.

“Oh, hell yes,” he nodded and reached out and dismissed the call. “Ah, that does feel good.”

She nodded at him and sank down on that couch finally, only to frown. It was way too soft, and she sunk into it like a bloody cloud. Probably good for sleeping on but not sitting in.

“Hmm, better make it one without posts or anything that I can be tied to.” she chuckled as they left.

“You’re really asking to be punished, I see.” He laughed, and they moved on to try out beds. It was a fun day of shopping for her, and she ate lunch with Kyan as well. She watched him post a few photos of them together on the pack’s social media account, and he tagged Edward himself, “Edward, she’s actually shopping to fill the pack’s apartment, Jared finally got a win against Wynta, though she says it’s 5 to 2, in her favor because she’s not cashed the cheque for the dress yet. So, he can’t count that as a win.”

Wynta laughed. “Oh, that’s going to annoy him, when he sees it and reads it, he threatened to move a desk into my office if I didn’t accept the dress or the cheque.”

“But Edward will kill himself laughing,” Kyan stated. “Tell Jared himself, just to annoy him. Jared is the most stubborn of all his sons, and the one Edward likes to annoy the most. The others just kind of brush it off. It bugs Jared more than the others, so…”

“More fun for his dad.” She nodded.

Their day moved on, and Kyan walked her right to Jared’s apartment and pressed the doorbell. Jared opened it and smiled at the two of them. “Good to see a full day of shopping was had.” He said as he stepped aside and waved her into the apartment, “Kyan, you can go, though be extra diligent this evening, father and I had a meeting with Alpha Nolan this morning.”

“Got it. I’ll relay it to Jenson… Will she be here or in her own apartment?” Kyan asked right back.

“Firstly, I need a bit of information from you, so I can see if we’ve worked it out, what is a lie and what is truth. If I’m correct in my line of thought, which father is in agreement with, then our assumption is likely also correct. Please answer a few questions for me on your past. Nothing too invasive, just a bit more information needed from what we picked up from your conversation with Yale, that packs Beta heir… you’re Nolan’s rejected Mate yes?”

She nodded. “Yes. I rejected him. How much of that conversation was heard?” she asked curiously.

“All of it,” Jared muttered. “He’s an asshole I guessing?”

“Hmm turned into one.” she nodded.

“He said you were missing for four days, then came back and then vanished again a few days later. What happened there? Did someone take you? I have noticed the scar on your wrist, from a silver cuff, I believe, not silver–laced rope.”

“Correct. Though missing for four days! No one knew I was missing until I returned and told them I had been. Nolan nor his Beta even noticed, which, seeing as you know. They tried to coerce me into believing I was their Mate, in order to both sleep with me.

“I’ll tell you something I didn’t tell my Alpha, or Nolan either. I actually did that to myself. Scent masked myself, and cuffed myself in a very remote part of the pack, to see if it was coercion. I was right,” she shrugged. “I’m not so stupid, might be wolf–less but not dumb enough to not know what coercion is.”

Jared was just staring at her now. He seemed more than shocked by her statement that she’d done that to herself, “So you scarred yourself?” he frowned at her.

“Yes, I did wind up in the pack hospital for many days afterwards. But I wanted to know what the truth of what they said was, and that was the easiest way to find out. Because if they had scented me out, my sudden disappearance would have set off a panic in both their wolves. Which didn’t happen… He didn’t even know I was in the hospital when I came back. He only came and found me on the full moon, read what had happened on my chart, and because, only he scented me out, he knew I would understand it was all a lie as well.”

“Your rejection, are you willing to tell me about that?” Jared asked her.
