He’s an Alpha She doesn’t Care novel Chapter 122

Wynta

They were walking back to the packhouse from the private garage where Jared had parked his car, when a car pulled up next to them, and she saw Kyan get out. He smiled at them all and then greeted her. “Well now, I heard you were finally a pack member.”

“Hmm, bound to happen sooner or later.” She stated right back with a smile.

She watched Kyan walk over, “I brought your phone, and I also packed up your normal clothes and brought them here at the Luna’s request,” he told her.

Wynta took the phone and smiled. “Thank you.”

He nodded. “All good, where will you be staying while here? I’ll run your things to your accommodation.” Though his eyes moved to Jared as he spoke.

Currently, I’m across from my room,” Wynta replied, her voice steady. But before she could elaborate, Jared interjected, lifting her hand that he still held tightly in his grasp, as if reluctant to let go. She couldn’t help but think how he seemed more like an obsessed fangirl than an Alpha at that moment. “Not for long,” he stated, a possessive edge to his tone as he indicated the band on her wrist.

Kyan raised an eyebrow, a knowing smile creeping onto his face. “Hmm, I see the Alpha got a band on you,” he said, chuckling lightly as his gaze returned to Wynta. “I’ll take your things up.”

“Thank you,” she affirmed, her smile returning.

Jared’s voice took on a more authoritative tone as he addressed Kyan. “No more playing with the future Luna,” he asserted, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Kyan held up his hands in mock surrender. “I understand, Alpha. No need for a warning; it was all just part of the game. And it’s not just Wynta’s game either—Alpha Edward gave me my own mission.” His grin was infectious, but Wynta could sense the underlying tension.

Wynta snorted softly, fully grasping the implications of Kyan’s words. As she watched him climb back into his car and drive away, her attention shifted back to Jared, who wore a frown that spoke volumes. He clearly understood the implications of Kyan’s mission. Alpha Edward had likely instructed Kyan to gauge Jared’s reactions regarding Wynta, a test of sorts.

Jared’s eyes turned to her, and she noticed the chuckles from his unit, all of them clearly in on the unspoken understanding. “There will be no more playing with him,” he declared, pointing a finger at her, his tone serious.

Wynta raised an eyebrow, a playful smile dancing on her lips. “Hmm, I’d like to see you make me follow that,” she countered, her confidence unwavering. “I could always have Edward give me orders, and his word would overrule yours. After all, he’s the Alpha, and you’re not even in the running yet. Your band isn’t glowing, so…” she let her words hang in the air, a teasing challenge.

“Wynta, be serious for a moment,” Jared murmured, his expression shifting slightly.

“Well, it’s not really my nature to be told what to do,” she replied with a laugh, reflecting on her newfound abilities. The revelation of her capacity to foresee alternate outcomes filled her with a sense of empowerment. “And honestly, even if you tried, I’d likely beat you at every game.”

She kept the details of her abilities close to her chest; revealing too much could be risky. For now, they only knew her as someone who could predict a phone call and act accordingly. If they remained unaware of her true potential, it would give her an upper hand, especially in her playful interactions with Jared.

A mischievous smile spread across her face as she glanced up at him. “Oh, this is going to be a lot of fun for me,” she said, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

Andy, the newly appointed Gamma, burst out laughing. “I’m in,” he declared, clearly amused by the unfolding banter.

Wynta noticed Jared’s gaze shift to Andy, who was now firmly on her side, much to her delight. Jared frowned slightly but then shook his head, a resigned smile creeping onto his lips. “We’ll discuss this privately. I’ll find a fitting punishment for your sweetheart, one that benefits you too,” he said, his tone lightening.

Wynta laughed, feeling a rush of camaraderie as she pulled her hand free from Jared’s grasp and stepped closer to Andy, linking her arm through his. “Don’t worry, Andy. You’ll have my full protection,” she assured him, looking up with a grin. “Just hide behind me and use me as your shield in our fun and games.”

“Of course, Wynta, I’m here for you as your Gamma,” Andy replied, his smile genuine, eliciting more laughter from Jared’s unit.

Turning back to Jared, Wynta caught the deep frown etched on his face as he watched the way she held onto Andy’s arm. She wondered if he was annoyed by her closeness to another unmated male wolf or if he was simply processing her words. After all, he couldn’t scent her out, nor could he feel their bond, so technically, he had no reason to be upset. It wouldn’t affect him in any way.

When Jared’s gaze finally met hers, it narrowed slightly, but she maintained her smile, unfazed. “He’s my Gamma now, Jared. You might want to get used to seeing us together,” she stated confidently. “Otherwise, that,” she pointed at him, “will spiral out of control for no reason. Once I’m back at work,” she added, walking over to Dwane, “I’ll be seeing more of your Beta than you. He’s my direct boss in the office, after all.”

“You might think that,” she replied, her smile unwavering. “But even in that moment, when you told me there would be no rest for the wicked, I ached to have all of you.” She leaned in and kissed him softly, feeling the sparks of the mate bond igniting between them. “Goddess, Jared, I wanted you so badly,” she murmured, “that I likely would have been unable to resist mating with you, considering what my body knew.”

“If you’d given me all of you that day, I think my own body would have betrayed me. But somehow, I still managed to push you away and say no, even knowing how much I wanted you. I held myself back, denied myself what I truly desired in that moment. I’m still the same person, sweetheart; I haven’t changed at all. I can still say no, still deny you that.”

His smile deepened, and he caressed her neck, his fingers tangling in her hair. “Are you challenging me, Wynta?” he asked, a playful edge to his voice.

“Not at all. Just stating a simple fact,” she replied, her confidence shining through. “I won the game, Jared, not you, and you told me so.” With that, she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down for another lingering kiss. The mate bond sparked anew, but just as he began to deepen the kiss, she pulled away, a teasing smile on her lips. “You like delayed gratification.”

If he wanted a challenge, she was more than willing to give him one. “I wonder just how much you can hold out, knowing what I am, who I’ll be to you, and to your beast. Now that you know, can you continue to enjoy that delayed gratification, or will you lose all control to your own desires?”

She held his gaze, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Alphas didn’t back down from challenges, and she knew he was no different. “I wonder, Jared,” she taunted softly, “can you handle me? Two weeks until the full moon—can you keep enjoying that delayed gratification, or will you succumb to your own needs, and I imagine now, Creed’s as well?”

His smile suggested he thought he could withstand her challenge, but she wasn’t so sure. She slipped her hands from around his neck, trailing one down to his mark spot, feeling the tension in his body as she teased him. “I know what belongs to me, and I can not only touch you here,” she murmured softly, “I can kiss you here as well.”

She met his gaze, seeing the desire and hunger reflected back at her. “Do you want me to test your willpower out here in the middle of the pack?” she asked, tapping his mark spot lightly. The scent of his desire filled the air, and she knew that the longer she tormented him, the more the tension would build.

“You might just get more than you bargained for,” Jared replied, his voice low and filled with need.

“Hmm, the only thing I want is to be mated by you. You can’t sink your fangs into me yet, but sweetheart,” she stepped back, looking up at him with a soft chuckle, “you’ll lose the game, and I’ll win if you mate yourself to me. Can you handle me now, Jared?”
