She walked over and sat herself in the chair that was sitting before them as was expected of her, and looked at them. She knew they would all be able to scent her as not only a rogue but that she was wolf-less as well. They would have smelled it either while she sat out there in the waiting room or the moment she’d stepped into this room.
Her sense of smell wasn’t the same as theirs, not even the same as an omega wolf. She watched as three of them leaned back in those chairs and left one leaning on the desk before him staring at her. That one thing told her they weren’t just ranked members but were, in fact, an Alpha and his Unit.
The one that was watching her now, he was going to be the Alpha. He slid his eyes over her appearance and then turned his eyes to her application, read it through before returning his eyes to her and putting that paper down in front of him.
“I’ll introduce myself formally to you,” he stated calmly. “I am Alpha Edward Hayes and this is my unit,” he waved a hand at the other wolves in this room. “May I enquire why you are a rogue?” he asked her directly, seems his curiosity about her non wolfen pack status outweighed the questions for this very job.
Wynta frowned at his introduction. She didn’t really care who he was, and she didn’t think it was any of his business as to why she was a rogue. She knew one didn’t have to be part of a pack to live in this world. More and more wolves turned themselves rogue and left their packs to get away from the cruelty of their pack’s leadership.
Especially those that were like herself. She’d seen and smelled many like herself over the past nine years, just out there like she was trying to make an honest living for themselves, and staying out of trouble in both the wolfen and human world alike.
When she didn’t say anything to answer his question, he went on, “I see you’re 27. Surely someone with your skills could have found a pack to align yourself with… When did you go rogue or be turned rogue?” he asked once more.
“I’m here for the job that was posted, not to relay my past history to you.” She finally spoke. “Do you have any questions for me that are related to my skills?” she asked him in return.
He frowned at her now and she watched who she thought was the Beta lean forward and rest his arms on the desk “You could request sanctuary and ask to be a member of the pack. Then this job would be granted to you without issue,” he stated.
Wynta raised an eyebrow at him, so that was the condition of getting this job, she thought absently. Clearly, all those humans out there were wasting their time coming here for an interview. This company was simply abiding by the human rules of appearing to hire honestly and fairly, when they intended to give the job to one of their own pack members.
“Would you like to become a pack member, Wynta?” Alpha Edward asked her directly. “I would accept someone like yourself.”
“Someone like me?” she murmured. “A rogue that is wolf-less and desperate for affiliation, you mean?” She shook her head a little dismayed, did she look desperate to them? She didn’t think so, her clothes were clean and presentable, as was her hair and light make-up. She certainly didn’t look underfed or unhealthy.
“Are you going to ask me any actual interview questions about the position of a Marketing Specialist?” she asked once more. “My skills are as they are listed, and I have worked now for two separate companies as you can see.”
“Wynta, we’ll get to your interview. I feel your rogue status is of more importance, and needs to be resolved first,” Alpha Edward stated.
“Please, Mr Hayes, don’t address me so informally. I would prefer you call me Ms Morgan.” She put to him, showing him that she wasn’t interested in being a part of his pack, and she didn’t think that they were close enough to be on a first-name basis.
All of them were frowning at her now, at her dismissing of them being an Alpha and his unit before her, but she was a rogue and didn’t have to acknowledge that. It was likely they’d not expected her to decline the offer of being initiated. But it wasn’t something she was looking for.
She was just looking for a job to have an income once more, and to keep a roof over her head, and food in her belly, nothing more, nothing less.
“How about you come and look at the pack? It’s an hour’s drive from here, and you’ll see it’s a nice healthy pack; I even have several without wolves living there.” Edward offered.
Again, she raised an eyebrow at him, this was not an interview anymore. She shook her head and stood up. “Thank you for wasting my time. I have other interviews to attend this week,” she stated simply and turned and walked from the room, showing them, she was clearly not interested in what they were offering.
Alpha Edward
Wynta was an interesting creature that pricked his full curiosity. She’d walked into this room and looked at each of them, not frowned, but her mouth had turned to a thin line that denoted annoyance to him. He’d wondered if she thought coming in here with a rogue status would see them turn her away.
It wasn’t how he worked; though as he looked at her, his wolf, Rhodes, picked up that she wasn’t just a rogue but that she was also without a wolf. He personally didn’t like calling any of them wolf-less. Because most of the time they actually weren’t wolf-less. They just needed the right set of circumstances for their wolf to be granted to them or to come forth.
Many without wolf had to find a Mate and be marked and claimed before their wolf was granted to them. He put it down to their Goddess, seeing if the one to scent them out, was worthy of the one without wolf.
Most in this world failed that test by rejecting the one without wolf. Something they would usually come to regret later in life; when they either never got gifted another for themselves, or they saw their rejected so-called wolf-less Mate happy and mated, had gotten a wolf at some point after rejecting them.
Other times it just weighed on them, when the one without wolf simply accepted the rejection unquestioningly, almost knowingly, that it was going to happen. They were simply resigned to their fate of being rejected, simply because they were seen by those in the pack they belonged to as useless or weak.
He knew it wasn’t actually the case at all; 95% of the time, the one without wolf was often much stronger than anyone knew they could be. Because they had to put up with things inside their own packs from other wolves who thought they were better than the so-called wolf-less; so they treated them like garbage.
Which intern made the majority of those without wolves, mentally stronger than even Alpha wolves at times. He’d also noted over the years that like 7 out of 10 of those that were female without wolf were mated to Alpha Wolves. It was he believed their Goddess testing them and, like 5 of those Alphas out of the 7, would fail the test.
Now here sitting before him was a very beautiful she-wolf; and that was how he saw her, as a she-wolf. She had, at some point in her life, turned herself rogue to leave a pack he suspected. Those that were banished kind of had an omega feel to him where they thought they weren’t worthy of the wolfen kind, likely because that was not only how they were treated, but been told that’s what they were.
