I’ll wait for half an hour. After sending this message, Greyson didn’t send anything else. He’d given his final word, and it seemed that was that. I wished I knew who he was in the wolf shifter hierarchy of things. Was he an Alpha who was used to having what he wanted when he wanted it? Or was he someone who was a Nobody was enjoying exerting power over a human girl. Power he didn’t have over anyone else. Something told me he was powerful no matter who he was, with. Especially if he truly had been behind what happened to Roman. I handed over the text messages to the shifter police, Mentioning Roman, since there was surveillance footage of him entering and leaving the hotel room. The police would investigate Roman and collect any evidence they could. But if Greyson told the police I wanted to kill Roman, that I had Drugs and a dagger there to do it… the shifter packs wouldn’t be lenient on me. They would charge me for attempted murder, and I knew how that would play out in a courtroom.
My tactics only delayed the inevitable. His movements were quick and domineering, and then I was pressed against the wall. After hugging and kissing me for a while, he surprised me with a hard pinch on my waist. “Ouch!” I yelped out. As soon as I opened my mouth to speak, his lips were on mine, his tongue invading my mouth. His kiss was still as wild as before, but the way he touched me was much softer than the last time. As if he were very familiar with my body, he touched me in just the right places, just the right way. His actions were so skilled, they made me feel like I wasn’t being forced… I wanted to beat myself to death as soon as that thought entered my head. How could this be pleasure? But …We had sex several times, and every time I sank into it. It was no different from when I was with Griffon. I even couldn’t help scratching his back later as we lay in bed. Was I completely crazy to think that this man’s body was compatible with mine? Greyson bit my earlobe and whispered,
The receptionist politely shook her head. “I’m sorry, I don’t know,” Even if she knew who it was, she wouldn’t dare to share information regarding a VIP. I knew better than to ask, but I was desperate. There wasn’t anything else for me here right now, and I couldn’t ask any more questions, so I thanked the woman and left the hotel. I grabbed my heart pills from my bag, but the bottle was empty. Sigh. Now I had to make a trip to the hospital. Joy. My favorite thing. The attending doctor asked about my physical condition, as usual. When he asked about my sleeping habits and I told him, he frowned. “Ms. Palmer, I’d like to admit you. I’m worried about the state of your heart, and I’d like to run some tests and see if we can’t find a new treatment option for you.” I refused. Staying in the hospital was just waiting for death, and I wasn’t going to waste the last moments of my life in some cold, sterile room.Besides, what else were they going to do for me? It wasn’t like they were going t
Are you going to look for Elder Thorin?” Tara, dressed in a professional suit that looked immaculate on her, saw that I was waiting for the elevator but did not step in. Her question pulled me out of my daze, and I came to my senses. I hurriedly came up with a reason not to step foot on that elevator. “I’m sorry, I forgot something.” Spinning on my heel, I turned around and left, not daring to look at the two of them. Watching her run away, Tara couldn’t help but turn to look at Griffon, who was standing beside her. “That was strange. How come she seemed so scared of us that she wouldn’t get on the elevator?” Griffon didn’t reply. His indifferent eyes showed no emotion, as if he was uninterested in anything around him. Tara reached out her delicate hand, took his arm, and said softly, “Griffon, thank you for taking me to the emergency room the other night.I haven’t had wolfs bane in so long, I didn’t know it would affect me that way.” During a visit to the Knight pack with her father
The blood drained from my face, and the young man from the past’s face came back to my mind. I tried my best to control my emotions. I knocked on the open. Door and asked respectfully, “Elder Thorin, you wanted me?” Brooks put down the coffee cup and looked up at me. “Taya, you're responsible for the welcoming of the Sterling pack, aren’t you?” I nodded. “Yes, sir.” Brooks glanced at his watch. “Please arrange dinner for this evening. You can book a high-end restaurant for six p.m., and I’d like for you to go to the airport to pick up Alpha Sterling.” “Pick up Alpha Sterling?” We worked with packs from all over the Midwest, and most of them made trips into MPC to handle business with other packs on neutral territory, or to arrange projects between packs. Many times, a pack wouldn’t have the labor force for new construction, roads, utilities, and the like, so they contracted other packs to do the work via MPC. We ensured everything was above-board and there were no side deals. being ma
Brooks wanted Griffon to go to dinner. He wanted Griffon to mediate the issues between the Sterling pack and the Midwest Packs Corporation. Only if Griffon handled the situation and explained things would the Sterling pack conform. With Griffon being the powerful Alpha he was, his word tended to be law, even over the elders. Otherwise, with Tara being the new CEO, smoothing things over with the Sterling pack would be her job, and Brooks knew that it would be impossible for her to do-given the fact that her relationship with Griffon was the crux of the issue. But right now, Griffon appeared to be unhappy, and that put Brooks on edge. After all, he couldn’t figure out Griffon’s feelings for Tara now that she’d returned, so he was unable to ask Griffon to do things as his father-in-law. He needed to be cautious with how he worded things and with what requests. he made. As an elder, Brooks wielded a certain amount of power, but Griffon and the Knight pack were a different beast altogether
I lacked love. I lacked pa*sion so much that if someone treated me with the tiniest bit of kindness, I would hand over my heart without hesitation. I craved a partner, a mate, the way I saw people around me have. Not people…shifters. Shifters who would never choose a human as their mate. Although the two men I’d loved had abandoned me, I didn’t regret my love for them. I had tried my best to love hard, but no one had ever loved me. Maybe in my next life, the goddess would reward me for what I’d gone through in this one. That idea was more than a little ridiculous. When a person was dead, they were dead. I put away my thoughts and looked up at Silas-er, Jackson Sterling.Right now, I am needing to concentrate on why I was here in front of him. “Alpha Sterling, I’ve always treated business a*sociates of the Midwest Packs Corporation professionally. As for what happened five years ago, that’s all in the past. Nothing to worry about.” Regardless of whether he was truly suffering from amne
He was wearing a royal-blue shirt and a coat of the same color. Even from a distance, he exuded immense power. Everyone who walked by him gave him a wide berth, as if they were afraid of getting too close. As he approached, I could see his face. The tenderness of youth had faded away, leaving a chiseled jaw and strong angles. It had been so long, but when I saw him again—with the new name “Jackson Sterling”-I only felt calmness. Not even a single stutter of my heart. I lifted a hand to wave at the group. “This way!” When the man saw the woman waving at them, he was slightly taken aback. His trip to Arcadia was primarily to attend the bidding for the Weston City project. The last person he expected to receive him was Taya. He was stunned for a few seconds before he returned to normal and led his men toward her. Even his wolf was thrown off kilter by seeing her.He was a more than a foot taller than her when he stood before her, looking down at her. “Ms. Palmer, long time no see.” Taya’
Harper, who was sitting on the yoga mat in the living room, wiped the sweat off her forehead with a towel and asked Taya, “Who is he?” Harper had never met Eric before, so naturally she didn’t know who he was. Taya explained, “He is Stella’s brother…” Taya remembered that Stella had mentioned that Eric was her nominal brother, but they didn’t have any blood relation. Their relationship was quite complicated. Harper looked Taya up and down, and a hint of nervousness appeared in her eyes, “Is Stella’s brother interested in you?” It was late at night, and if Stella’s brother came to find Taya with the wrong intentions, it would not end well if it was known by Griffon. Taya smiled and took the milk that the housekeeper brought. She handed it to Harper and replied, “Eric is Stella’s man, don’t think too much about it.” Harper had just taken a sip of milk and almost choked herself. “What?” “Aren’t they siblings?” After teasing Harper, laya laughed and walked out of the villa. “Dr. Sinclair,
After hanging up the phone, Zack entered Griffon’ car under disguise. “Mr. Griffon, I’ve almost finished investigating the cause of Simon Knight’ death,” said Zack. Griffon put down his phone, feeling tired. He lifted his chin slightly, indicating for Zack to continue. “Simon Knight did die of a sudden brain disease caused by overwork. I’ve carefully followed up with all the doctors,nurses, and everyone who had contact with him, as well as the medication he used. Their accounts are consistent with no discrepancies,” said Zack. Griffon frowned slightly, looking pale and cold. “So you’re saying that Tara is lying?” Zack quickly judged, “Ms. Thorin is probably just trying to protect herself by using Simon Knight’ cause of death.” Griffon recalled the past and felt a headache coming on. He didn’t have the energy to delve into it any further, so he simply waved his hand at Zack. As Zack was getting out of the car, he remembered something and turned back to ask, “Mr. Griffon, did we not per
The car quickly arrived at Harper’s villa. Taya withdrew her hand from ma*saging Griffon’ temples and suggested, “I’ll accompany you to the hospital tomorrow.” After Griffon nodded lightly, he wrapped his arm around her waist. He lifted his head and kissed her again before reluctantly letting go. “Goodnight…” Taya replied with a “goodnight” before getting out of the car. As she reached to push the villa’s door, she turned around to take one last look. The partially lowered car window revealed a sharp and angular face, as pure and noble as moonlight. Taya smiled slightly at him before turning and walking into the villa… Once the door closed, the man in the car, who had been forcinghimself to sit up, collapsed onto the backseat. “Andre, painkillers.” Andre quickly retrieved the painkillers, raised the divider, and handed them to Griffon. He took them and put them in his mouth. His face turned as pale as a sheet of paper without a trace of color. worry. hay “When did your headache start,
As they were about to enter the elevator, Harper suddenly appeared in the corridor. “Wait a minute, I have something to tell you guys.” Just now, Harper was only worried about Taya’s health and forgot to tell them the purpose of Johnny’s visit. “Alpha Knight, Taya.” Harper walked up to the two of them and said to them, “Johnny came here to find out about Rosalie’s whereabouts.” Hearing this, Taya quickly motioned for Griffon to put her down. Once she had both her feet on the ground, she frowned and looked at Harper. “Why does he want to know my sister’s whereabouts?” Could it be that Johnny knew her sister? Was that why he said that she looked familiar? “He sounded very angry. It seems like he came to look for trouble.” “Is he my sister’s enemy?” Harper shook her head, expressing that she did not know. “I only know the reason he came here. It’s because he found out that I was the first person you met when you came back from England.This is the place where we met, that’s why he came.”
Neil received the item from the owner of the goldsmith shop. He originally wanted to give it to Taya and at the same time, show off. Who knew that Alpha Knight would be here! He had such bad luck! The smile on Neil’s face disappeared. “How dare you!” Neil was disappointed when he saw Griffon. How were they going to have fun now that he was here? The designers, who followed behind Neil, froze when they saw Griffon too. The smiles and excitement immediately faded. They did not even dare to enter the door. They stood at the door, pushing and shoving each other. “Hey Neil, after you…” When Neil saw Griffon, he was extremely humble. He waved his hands desperately, “No, no, the young ones should enter first…” Taya glanced at the designers who were afraid to come in, then at Griffon who exuded a terrifying aura. She saioicd in a low ve, “Why don’t you go out first? I’ll take care of things here first before going to the hospital.” Griffon let go of his balled fists, which were clenched due t
Are you alright?”After Harper finished talking with Preston, she immediately went to the office. She quickly washed up and changed her clothes. When she came out, she overheard Mr. Jenkin’s conversation. He said that Griffon caught Johnny flirting with Taya and that they were fighting downstairs. There were also guns involved. Harper was so frightened that she did not even have time to put on her high heels. She quickly wore her slippers and she rushed down in a hurry with her hair still wet. When Taya heard Harper’s voice, she hurriedly pushed away Griffon, who was about to kiss her, and turned to face Harper who was rushing towards her in a panic. “I’m fine. Be careful, don’t run.” Harper rushed to Taya and quickly examined her just to make sure she was alright. Seeing that she was indeed unharmed, Harper immediately relaxed. “I was scared to death. I thought something happened to you. My heart was literally about to leap out of my chest!” Taya raised her hand and comforted her. “Do
Griffon hugged Taya tightly as he stared deeply at Johnny with cold, deadly eyes. Griffon grabbed Johnny’s wrist hard, almost squeezing it. If he exerted any more strength, Johnny’s wrist would definitely dislocate. Johnny couldn’t struggle and he became irritated. He glared at Griffon and shouted. You are courting death!” After he finished speaking, he raised his other hand and motioned for his bodyguards to come forward. When Taya, who was nestled in Griffon’ arms, saw the group of bodyguards running towards them, her heart started pounding in his chest. “Griffon, you have to go now.” Listening to the conversation between the two, it was obvious that they knew each other and they had grudges. Griffon did not have any bodyguards with him at this time, so he might not be able to take down Johnny and his team of bodyguards sorry, Griffon suddenly lowered his head and gave her a rea*suring look. “Don’t worry.” As soon as he said those words, he lifted his leg and kicked fiercely at the
Harper’s heart trembled as she saw the bodyguards’ hands reaching for the back of their waist once again, but she forced herself to stay calm and began to make up nonsense. “She’s in Aronland with Mr. Yardley. If you want to look for her, go to Aronland…” That’s right, he should go ahead and deal with Amon. Harper wanted to see who would come out on top. Upon hearing this, Johnny’s repressed anger burst out of his dark eyes. “I found out that she had returned from Aronland, and the first person she met up with was you, right here!” The first time he came here, he was actually looking for Harper to ask about Rosalie’s whereabouts. However, he was so furious at the waiter that he couldn’t speak. After adjusting his mood, he revisited the place. However, he never expected that Harper would dare to play dumb. This was simply unbearable! He stood up out of the blue, and his tall and burly figure towered Harper, whose height reached his chest despite being in heels. Stare at Harper. “Ms. Du
Harper smiled coquettishly. “It has nothing to do with you.” Nothing to do with him? Preston had always been a gentleman towards women but at that instant, his face darkened as he spoke. “Harper Duke, are you sure you want to provoke me?” Harper felt that he was reversing right and wrong, and her face also darkened. “Please get it straight. You’re the one who came to provoke me with another woman.” “That’s because you rejected me without thinking the other day! The indignation in Harper’s eyes turned into confusion in no time. Preston had had many women before, but he had never been serious with any of them. He would never lower his status to try to reconcile after breaking up with them. But that night, he hugged her like a pup and nuzzled her neck. “I miss you a little. Please don’t leave me, okay?” She thought he was just talking nonsense due to the alcohol in him, but she never expected him to be serious. Harper was surprised for a moment, but then regained her composure… Regardles
