There was now nothing that she could do about being here in this place, though she was curious as to how Jared or his Beta had managed to get what they wanted. She watched as a she-wolf in nursing scrubs walked by her door and glanced in. Came to a halt and smiled at her “Ms Morgan, you’re awake finally. The Alpha will be happy to hear that. I’ll inform him and Gordon, is there anything you need?”
“I’d like some water, please.” She stated her throat was dry.
“I’ll go and get that for you,” she was told, and the nurse walked off.
It only took a few minutes for Gordon, the pack doctor, to walk into her room. “Sorry about the way we transported you, Ms Morgan, but you were being overly difficult, and the Alpha told me I had to do whatever it took to get you here and today.”
“And that would be exactly?” she asked, “In case I want to sue that hospital for sedating me without my consent and giving my unconscious body over to three complete strangers, who could have been human traffickers for all they knew.” She stated flatly.
Gordon frowned right at her now, “I wouldn’t go doing that, it could cause legal issues, everything was done above board. We are your insurance company and this is the preferred hospital of our company to the human world. I followed the human protocols only the sedation wasn’t kosher. But there is no record of that to be seen on their records or ours.”
She watched Jared walk into her room and smile at her. “That came by way of a large donation to their hospital of medical equipment that they needed, and they turned a blind eye in exchange for us sedating you,” he told her simply.
“I even let the hospital director look up the pack hospital check for its legitimacy and blamed myself for you not wanting to go anywhere with me, that I paid you the biggest of insults. Showed her who I was and your employee profile so she can check up on you if she likes in a couple of days when you’ve been discharged.” He smiled right at her
“All bases were covered, so to speak. Welcome to Cedar Rapids, Wynta Morgan, I hope you’ll enjoy your stay here with us.” And there was a little bit of smugness to his voice as if to state he’d won their battle.
She turned to look out the window. Yes, she was certain he was very happy with himself for the underhanded way he had retrieved her. She, however, wasn’t going to play into his game. When can I leave?” was her only question. If they bled her by force into this pack, she’d just turn herself rogue the minute it was over to prove to them, she wouldn’t be forced into being. here.
“When Gordon says you can be released and not before,” Jared told her.
Her eyes moved to Gordon. “When will that be?” she asked him. She was done talking to the Alpha in the room.
“The day after tomorrow,” she was informed.
“Alright, I don’t need or want visitors to my room in the time that I am forced to be here. Medical staff only, please doctor,” she stated and saw Gordon nod slowly, but then look at Jared. Who she refused to look at but she heard him chuckle softly as he walked from the room.
He seemed unconcerned that she was indirectly telling him to get out, that he wasn’t welcome.
Jared
He knew that his mother and father had gone down and talked to Wynta, and he’d heard it had actually gone well. She’d not declined them visiting her, she’d been given a new phone to replace the one that now wouldn’t work. He knew it was the latest technology as well, and had been handed to her still in its plastic wrap.
He knew that was so she understood it hadn’t been tampered with, he’d also been informed now that she’d told his father she’d walked away from the pack, not gotten washed away. She had taken his attitude towards her, as he didn’t want to bring her into the pack, and seeing that he was the pack’s eldest heir.
She, as a rogue, could take that as if he was in charge, that he’d just have turned her away out. into the cold because he didn’t want a wolf-less she-wolf within his pack, that she’d bring no strength to the pack or be even able to help it grow with pups because it was likely she’d have only wolf-less herself.
His father had stood and stared at him more than annoyed, and his mother had shaken her head as if disappointed in him. It didn’t matter why he had put her out of his car. He should not have done so, and that was all there was to it in both his parents’ eyes.
His mother had shaken her head, “Son, do you know how hard I, myself, have worked to try and help your father bring that girl into this pack? All of my efforts to see a way to get her to come in and have pack protection.
“All my efforts now have gone to waste, and I have tried many times, tailoring mating balls to her as I saw it. She’s managed to get around all of them, is as deviously thinking as your own father is it appears.” She’d shaken her head. “I even tried tailoring to her specific rank. She managed to get around that even, using her rogue status. She knows the difference between a pack member and a rogue and the rights of both.” His mother huffed at him.
He nodded but said nothing, the way she’d thought and worded herself to his father told him that. But the fact that she had been honest had seen him take no further lashings. That was at least something she’d not lied on purpose to see him get punished. Seems the woman was fair-minded.
That night, at the family dinner they were all having, he’d brought up what he and Dwane had discussed. “Father, mother, if you’re both going to insist on my staying here until I can bring Wynta Morgan into the pack for initiation. Then you’ll need to send one of my brothers and their units to France, to sit in my seat and run the company.”
The entire table had stopped eating and stared at him, though he’d not stopped eating at all, I’d have suggested Lance go.” He stated his honest thoughts on the matter and then held up his hand to stop Lance and his Mate’s complaints and refusal to go.
“I’m aware neither of you want to go.” His words halted their arguing in its tracks. “I won’t be asking for you to be sent. You now need to be here, working alongside father, up until you’re 100 Lance, you are now in the position of the first heir. Being that you’ve found your Mate, and I can only presume you’re working on producing that heir.”
“Yes, we are.” Lance nodded.
“As is expected, and I only thought of you, Lance because you speak French fluently, and hold the most education and degrees. So I see you as the most competent of my brothers, to run the international business side of the pack is all.” He acknowledged all his brother’s achievements.
