“You are filled with lies, Lotti, and that one about us being in a secret relationship that was…” he shook his head. “Stupid to stay the least, I’m allowed to date, father actually encourages it openly, wants me to. There is no need for me or any of my brothers to hide a relationship. Father, I believe, after all I’ve investigated, Lotti is an actual threat to Wynta and could well be one of the reasons you could never bring her in.”
“What? I’m not a threat to her, I’ve never…” she cut herself off as she realized what she was about to say.
“Harmed her,” Jared commented. “I beg to differ after what we saw today. Father, a full wolfen investigation is needed into this matter.”
“What? There’s no need for that.” Lotti gasped, turning wide eyes upon him now.
“Really, your lies about the job, your attack on Wynta, telling her you’re going to have her fired, and then in this room trying to have me Alpha Order her. Which if Lotti, I had opted to do, would only have seen all your lies come out. You knew that. So, you getting caught in your own lies is not what this is about.” he looked to his father. “This is about Lotti trying to make Wynta leave, something Wynta herself told you she would do father, if she was Alpha Ordered.”
His father nodded slowly and asked, “Why would you want that?”
“I never once said that is what I want,” Lotti muttered, but he heard the anger tingeing her words.
“I believe she’s also still a threat to Wynta father. She now knows Wynta is wolf-less, she should be remanded to the cells until the truth of what she is plotting and planning is understood.”
“I concur” Dwane nodded. “I also have one more thing to add. May I have the laptop please? he asked. It was slid across the table to him, and he put in a USB of his own.
“I did a little more investigating with the help of Lincoln, the head of security,” He stated and hit play on the file. It was footage of Lotti, standing in the foyer of the building talking to someone on the phone and then just standing around looking at her watch every few minutes.
They all watched her stand there and wait for like ten minutes. “Note the time,” Dwane stated, and Jared watched her look at her watch with four minutes until the marketing floor security system rolled out.
“Lotti planned that attack on Wynta, right down to when the security footage was going to hide what she did. She is a viable threat to Wynta Morgan,” Dwane stated simply.
Jared looked at Lotti and shook his head. “Father?”
“Agreed a full wolfen investigation it will be.” His father nodded.
Edward
He sat staring at Lotti; he was so very disappointed in all that he had heard today where this she-wolf was concerned. She’d always been a real handful, and right from the day she’d come to the pack, had wanted to be ranked up, not that she had been, only accepted as extended kin, when she’d wanted to be bleed to Ernesto himself, even though she was over 18.
That very thing had told Ernesto it wasn’t a good idea, and that was why he’d not actually done it. Now it seemed that was a wise idea. She really did believe she was above her station, so much so that she could blame Wynta for that lashing she’d taken. Had now struck Wynta and wanted to see her gone from this company.
He thought about it as he sat and stared at her, she’d walked right into this room without so much as considering she’d be caught out today. Had even gone and sat herself down right next to Jared himself. Edward now saw that for what it was, it was to show Wynta she and Jared were in a secret relationship. She’d not expected to be exposed here and today.
Jared, it seemed, was of the opinion he really didn’t like Carlotti, it was in the way he’d already started investigating her, weeks ago at that, from the very day he’d come home. He saw something not even Edward had seen. Or maybe it was just that Jared hadn’t really seen how she was, and so her behavior stood out to him whereas everyone else knew just what she was like and ignored it.
That she-wolf had designs on his boy he now understood. She itched not just to be ranked up, but to the highest of high, a position that did not suit her attitude. A Luna should be able to accept all ranks without prejudice, including those of rogue status. A Luna shouldn’t go around trying to manipulate things to their liking and certainly shouldn’t be out to harm anyone.
All the things Carlotti had now done and been caught out in, though he understood there was still another person involved in all of this. Someone that had called Carlotti and told her about the security system being down, likely that someone was also the one that had sent Wynta that text; he would get to the bottom of it.
“Why?” he finally asked her after much silence had passed inside this room.
“I just don’t like her,” Lotti stated. “Even you jump through hoops for that rogue, she is so entitled that she gets away with everything, even talking rudely to other pack members. She is disrespectful to everyone. Why would you want someone like her to be inside the pack.”
“Why indeed?” Dwane drawled. “Alpha, if we’re getting rid of wolves like that, you might want to start with Lotti herself. Just turn her rogue. I believe she’s all of those things she just stated Wynta is.”
“I’m nothing like her, I’m a valuable pack member. She contributes absolutely nothing as a rogue,” Lotti grated out at Dwane.
“Ah, is that so? She works, does her job and is good at it, I hear.” Dwane stated. “That means she contributes to the pack, is no different to any of the human employees and how they contribute.”
“And you contribute exactly what Carlotti?” Jared stated. “Please do tell me what revenue you bring to the pack, what’s your education and the experience you have that benefits the pack?”
Lotti’s eyes turned on Jared in an angry glare, not something she should do. She was just a low-ranking warrior, yet thought she had the right to stare his son and heir down.
