“Morning ma’am.” He nodded and took her hand in a brief but firm shake, “I believe I’ll be your driver for coming and going to the office.”
“And for all her physio appointments as well,” Edward stated, “I didn’t much like your disappearing act last weekend, Wynta.” Edward told her simply, “And I feel it could have gotten you into some trouble, or maybe even now, brought trouble here for you.” He huffed a little and shook his head “Why do you have the need to vanish at all?” he asked.
She smirked a little now herself as she sat back down, “I didn’t vanish, Edward. I simply had a nice weekend at the beach, something I often do; take myself away for the weekends. You just didn’t know until now is all. I didn’t hide it, I booked it online, booked a car to drive me to and from, used my real name. I wouldn’t define that as vanishing. If I was going to vanish, Edward, I’d pay cash for everything and use public transportation, get on a bus or train where I don’t have to hand over my details. So no one could track me down,” she commented, telling him she knew exactly how to get around them tracking her if she really wanted to disappear.
“Done that before, haven’t you,” he nodded. “When you left your home pack, I’m guessing?”
“Hmm,” she shrugged. “No one was looking for me, Edward, no one cared that I left. I assure you of that,” she told him how she felt about it.
“I’m betting your Mate would have,” Edward sighed and shook his head as if he didn’t believe her. “You know the one that rejected you, or maybe you rejected.”
“He was gone away the day after it happened, uncaring of our rejection.” She told him, she’d known her words in his office this morning, had seen him understand she’d been rejected, Jared as well she was willing to bet. When she’d answered that question about would she know if she had a Mate on a full moon or not. She’d answered it without much thought, but it had told both him and Jared that she’d had a mate once, and they were in fact rejected because both of them knew she had no marking scar.
“Where did he go?” Edward pushed a little.
“How would I know.” She shrugged it off. “I was in the pack hospital at the time.” She lifted her right wrist up, “Dealing with this.”
She saw him frown and nod slowly, knowing it would make him drop the subject, which he did. He wasn’t going to ask her exactly what happened. He thought it was going to be something very painful for her to talk about, like she’d been kidn*pped and brutalized, and she let him drop it, because it stopped his questions.
His eyes moved from her wrist back to her eyes. “That is not why you went away for the weekend.” He sighed knowingly.
“Hmm, after everything I’ve been through in the past month, I just needed to get away and really relax, Edward. You can’t blame me for wanting that, can you? Not after the injuries I sustained. Surely anyone would want a nice break and a trip to the beach, a nice hotel room, with a glass of wine and a spa bath. What more can a girl want!”
“Hmm, I could think of at least one thing all she-wolves want. That you skipped out on.” he muttered.
She smiled at him and leaned back in her chair, “Technically, I didn’t skip that because I did come across other wolves, an Alpha and his unit on the day of the full moon.”
“I think that Alpha is now looking for you. You mentioned you’d seen him before, a long time ago.”
“Hmm, it was.” She nodded. “He was of no threat to me back then, nor was he now, just surprised to see me I think.”
“Were you a rogue the last time you saw him?” Edward asked now.
She frowned at him. “Why does that matter?” she asked in return.
“I’m simply curious.” Edwards shrugged.
But she knew he wasn’t just curious, the man never did things for no reason, his questions were always thought out, even if they seemed simple. He was digging, trying to find out not only if that Alpha was from her home pack, but if he was also her rejected Mate, she wasn’t so dumb.
She just nodded slowly. “Curiosity killed the cat, you know.”
Edward smiled. “I’m a wolf, not a cat.” Then he leaned forward on her desk and looked right at her. His tone serious now, “In all seriousness, Wynta, so I know what needs to be done. Do you think that Alpha is now looking for you? You said you knew him, so anything is possible.”
She stared right at him. “I guess it is possible,” she finally answered. “Though I checked, he’s only an heir, not an Alpha to a pack.”
She could see his brain ticking now as he sat all the way up. “So you do actually know him and what pack he comes from.”
“I do, like I said I’ve seen him before.” She’d not lied about that.
“So, he’s from your home pack then. Your former Alpha’s son.” He nodded slowly.
“I didn’t say that,” she shook her head.
“You don’t have to; you’ve got no initiation scars. So, you’ve only ever been attached to one pack in your life,” Edward stated.
