He's an Alpha: She doesn't Care (Jennifer Francis) novel Chapter 24

She’s Beyond His Rule 24 Summary Jared stood outside Dwane’s office, observing as Carlotti confronted Dwane with accusations against Wynta. Carlotti claimed Wynta had attacked her without cause, expecting sympathy due to her being Dwane’s stepsister. Jared, however, saw through her act and doubted her story, especially since Carlotti had lied about details like the incident in Jared’s car and Wynta’s injuries. Carlotti insisted she only wanted to apologize to Wynta, but Jared questioned her motives and the plausibility of her injuries, noting Wynta’s own serious knee injury.

Dwane and Jared reviewed security footage from the marketing floor where the alleged assault took place, but the cameras conveniently went dark during the incident. Security staff claimed a system update caused the loss of footage, and the head of security, Lincoln, confirmed the update schedule with official memos. Jared remained suspicious, especially since Carlotti seemed to have inside information about Wynta’s whereabouts, possibly through her boyfriend who worked in the city.

Jared and Dwane planned to question the marketing staff who were present after the incident, excluding Wynta from suspicion. They speculated that Carlotti might be using her human boyfriend to gather intelligence on Wynta, which could explain how she knew when to confront her. Concerned about Wynta’s safety, Jared and Dwane discussed the need to protect her, knowing she would resist any surveillance or protection measures. The chapter ends with Jared acknowledging the delicate situation: his father would likely want Wynta brought in for discipline, but doing so might endanger her further.

For now, Jared believed Wynta was safer staying out in the human world, away from the pack’s immediate reach. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Jared Claim He stood quietly just outside Dwane’s office, watching Carlotti as she confronted him. She couldn’t reach Ernesto directly-he was tied up in a meeting-so she had been instructed to take her complaint to Dwane, the next in command. At that moment, she was inside his office, playing the victim, and Jared saw right through her act. Carlotti was attempting to have Wynta disciplined.

She believed that because Dwane was her stepbrother, she could manipulate his sympathy and gain favor through their supposed family connection. But Dwane, much like Meredith, did not regard this she-wolf as kin in any way. Leaning casually in the office doorway, Jared listened to Carlotti’s tearful recounting of how Wynta had allegedly attacked her-claiming she was kicked across a room and slammed into a wall without cause. According to Carlotti, all she had done was visit Wynta to apologize for making her feel unwelcome and for Jared having forced her out of the car that day.

She went on to explain that this was the first opportunity she’d had to make amends since then, as she hadn’t seen Wynta until today. She hadn’t expected to be assaulted over a simple apology. Her gaze flickered between Dwane and Jared as she whispered, “It’s not right.” Her head shook gently, her voice soft and tinged with sadness-at least, that’s how it sounded to Jared. “Did you do anything to provoke her?” Jared asked from his position in the doorway. He knew Wynta wouldn’t start a fight with a fully transformed she-wolf while she was wolf-less herself.

That would be reckless, and while Wynta was stubborn, she wasn’t foolish. “No,” Carlotti replied, shaking her head firmly. “Your father would punish me again if I did. I understand he’s trying to bring Wynta into the pack. Honestly, I just went to apologize. I guess she really is a rogue-aggressive and now she hates me. Jared, you did tell me it was her in your car that day, and I guess she’s holding a grudge against me.” That caught Jared’s attention. He hadn’t told her that detail-she had brought it up on her own, talking about the scent of a rogue in his car.

He stared at her silently for a long moment before asking, “She hurt you physically?” His brow furrowed. “She kicked you?” “Yes, with everything she had,” Carlotti nodded solemnly. “It still hurts.” She shook her head again, clearly troubled. “I’m sure she hates me, but I didn’t know she was in your car that day-not until I got in it and you told me it was her.” Another lie, Jared thought darkly, but kept his expression neutral. “Dwane, go down to security and check the footage from the marketing floor.

I don’t want to drag Wynta in unnecessarily and risk my father losing his temper at me if I haven’t done my due diligence. He’s already pissed that I messed up Wynta’s induction.” Carlotti shook her head. “I didn’t see any cameras in her office.” “I was in there today,” Jared said with a small smile. “There aren’t any inside, but her office is a glass box. The cameras outside should have caught some of it, depending on their placement. Don’t worry, Lotti.

Dwane and I will get to the bottom of this.” “Lotti, why don’t you wait here in my office?” Dwane offered, gesturing for her to take a seat. “Thank you, big brother,” she smiled, though Jared noticed her wince as she sat, clutching her stomach. “When exactly did this happen?” Jared asked after Dwane left the room. Carlotti glanced at her watch. “About 30 or 40 minutes ago.” “Then why are you still in pain? You have wolfen healing-injuries like that shouldn’t linger. And Wynta has a serious knee injury herself right now.

I doubt she kicked you that hard.” Jared spoke bluntly, curious to see her reaction. Her frown deepened, but Jared smiled faintly. “Don’t worry. If what you say is true and Wynta attacked you without cause, I’ll make sure she’s fired for workplace violence.” “What knee injury?” Carlotti asked, watching him carefully. “She looked fine to me.” Jared turned to leave but stopped and looked back at her. “Well, Lotti, if you’d bothered to visit Wynta in the pack hospital and apologize, you’d know she suffered multiple injuries and nearly died.” He paused.
