“You are asking me to punish you again, I see,” he stated and slid his thumb across his lower lip as he had done last night. Then he stepped forward as the doors opened, and stated again almost dismissively, “This way, Ms Morgan.” And strode off once again, leaving her to follow him.
Seems he was good at being all business in front of others. That was good because she’d not liked what he’d implied last week, about harassing her or flirting with her in the office to get what he wanted from her. Seems he’d also realized it had been a bone of contention for her and that wouldn’t work for her.
She walked behind him and followed him into his father’s office. “Morning Edward,” she greeted him. “Did you frame that picture yet?” she asked right away and saw Jared turn and narrow his eyes upon her.
“I’m working on it.” Edward smiled. “You’re full of surprises, Wynta, where on earth did you get aerosoled wolfsbane?”
She smiled “I’m a rogue Edward, there are ways. A nice company out of Arizona sells things that are very useful to those of us that want to live our lives this way,” she answered. “Not the only thing I own to protect myself,” she stated and moved her eyes right to Jared a slight smirk on her face now. “But to date, the funniest thing I’ve seen was how your son looked.” She chuckled softly.
Edward chuckled himself, and waved her to a seat. “Yes, even his mother fell out of her chair when she saw it and heard it was you who rendered our boy unconscious. Tears poured out of her for a long time, she had a stitch in her side, she laughed so hard.” his father chuckled.
“Enough.” Jared snapped.
Jared
He made sure to keep himself to the professional role while walking alongside Wynta, in the building, and only let himself tease her in the express elevator. He’d gotten her point loud and clear last week, he could also keep it clean and make sure no one knew about what happened between them last night.
He’d not told his unit about it, though they’d heard about what had happened through their fathers, so they wouldn’t go and hunt for him after they felt him being disconnected. Which they all had been on the move. They’d all known he was tracking Wynta that night, but Ernesto had put a call into to tell them what had happened, and to leave it alone, apparently.
They’d had no choice but to follow the pack Beta’s orders, to leave him in Wynta’s apartment. He was unharmed and just going to sleep it off, would return after he woke up. That had ticked him off, but he couldn’t do much about it, they were just following orders.
Listening to her rib him once more with his own father, she was asking to be punished again, and he knew it. He’d already asked her in the elevator if she was looking to be punished again. It seems she was. A part of him was amused by it, but another part of him was just annoyed by it. They both knew it when he snapped “Enough,” into the office.
His own father raised an eyebrow at him but settled down. Alphas could only take so much humiliation before they lost their tempers, and his father knew he was reaching his limit. Likely didn’t want Wynta to see it, seeing as what he wanted from his son, was to have that band on his wrist glow on a full moon with her right there..
“We need to get to the point of this meeting.” His father stated, “Sit down Jared, you’re making Wynta uncomfortable.”
“No, he’s not,” Wynta stated. “He may, sit, stand or leave if he likes.”
Jared walked over and sat himself down in the single chair and looked at her. “You think I wasn’t serious about why this meeting was called?” he asked her directly.
“He is serious, Wynta,” his father stated. “It’s not the first time we’ve seen someone follow you home either.”
That made her frown, from his father to him, and then she just huffed. “Last night, I felt someone following me, picked up it was wolfen and that is how you, Jared, got dosed with Wolfsbane.”
“So, you can tell the difference between humans and wolves.”
“If they are close enough, yes, I can sense it, pick up the wolfen scent.”
“Can you discern rank?” he asked, now curious himself.
“No, just if one is from a pack or is a rogue.” She shrugged. “I don’t have all the senses you all have.”
“There was a car across from your apartment building, and in it was a warrior from an unknown pack, Wynta. I believe he was watching you,” Jared told her.
“I saw it. I actually know all those that live on my street, and their cars.” She nodded. “I keep track of things like that for my own safety. I’ve never seen that car before,” she added. ” Honestly, I thought he was with you, before I knew who you were.” She stated. “Who followed me last week?” she asked.
“I had Emerson trail you home and Andy trailed you to work, always out of sight, so you wouldn’t know because…” Jared sighed. “Carlotti targeted you and someone in your office we believed at the time, told her about when the security system was going to be out.” He laid it out for her. “We now know that was Jamie. She’s been fired. The car we saw on your street last week was Barry Moore’s car. He’s also from your department; it was seen not far from your apartment.”
“His girlfriend lives on my street, she’s a flight attendant, keeps odd hours, and sometimes he has to sit and wait for her. Delayed flights.” She waved it off
“Alright. Good to know.” Jared nodded, that could now be dropped.
“The wolf last night,” his father prompted.
