Breathing in the fresh oxygen made Taya feel like a fish that had been out of water for too long, suddenly returning to the pond and regaining a new life. She grabbed the oxygen mask and desperately inhaled. Seeing that her face had regained a hint of color, Griffon’s furrowed brow started to unwrinkled slightly. He looked at Stella, who was examining Taya. “How is she?” he asked. After listening for a while, Stella felt something was wrong with Taya’s heart. “The oxygen has helped a bit, but I need to examine her further and run some tests.” Taya’s heart didn’t sound healthy at all, and given how she looked and her symptoms, Stella was sure it was some type of heart failure. But she didn’t dare to say anything in front of Griffon before she had conclusive test results. “Run everything. I need to know exactly what’s wrong with her,” Griffon demanded with a growl, letting the commanding Tone of his Alpha seeps through. Stella nodded. “I’ll go make the arrangements.”Hearing their conve
Do you think you could keep it between us? I know you’re obligated to tell him whatever he asks since he’s your Alpha, but…” “Sure.” Stella nodded and made her own request. “But you have to tell me what your relationship to him is.” This was the first time she had seen her Alpha care so much about a woman, which made her a little curious. “I used to be his lover’s substitute, but now… we have no relationship,” she replied softly, trying to seem as though she didn’t care. Stella’s lips curved into a smile. “His lover? Are you talking about Tara?” Taya nodded, and the smile on Stella’s face She didn’t say anything else. After telling Taya to get some rest, she turned around and walked out of the room. After Stella left, Taya couldn’t hold on any longer. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She didn’t know how long she had slept, but the moment she opened her eyes, she saw Griffon sitting next to her. He was wearing a black sweater, and in the sunlight, his tanned skin and chiseled featu
Griffon, you…” Taya wanted to ask him why he had taken her here, but she didn’t know how to ask him. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at him. However, he seemed to have read her mind, glancing at her. “You can rest here for a few days before I take you back.” And that was all he said. When Taya heard that he would take her home, she was no longer so nervous. As for a reason… Perhaps because of choking her, causing her to almost break, he felt sorry for her. Although the reason was farfetched, she didn’t dare to think too much about it. Plus, it didn’t matter how much she thought about it, she would never be able to figure out his reasons.The man was a puzzle wrapped in a mystery. Griffon helped her lie down on the bed and called the housekeeper in. “Frank, go and prepare some light food.” “Got it.” Frank hurried off. As soon as he left, Griffon called two maids to prepare some female supplies and help Taya wash up. The wounds on her back and the symptoms of heart failure
Griffon frowned. “Is there anything else?” Stella hesitated briefly. “Alpha Knight, do you… care about Ms. Palmer very much?” She thought that if the Alpha cared about Taya so much, it would be unfair for her to help Taya hide how serious her illness was from him. Griffon raised his head and arched an eyebrow as if reprimanding her for daring to ask him something so personal. At receiving his look, Stella quickly wanted to apologize, but Griffon spoke before she could. “She fulfills a need.” Stella was surprised. She’d thought for sure that the Alpha cared for Taya, given how anxious he was at the hospital. He’d rushed in, demanding the best care for her, and then he’s gone so far as to bring her to his personal pack home to ensure she was more comfortable as she finished more treatments, She didn’t expect that he would say Taya was simply a means to an end, someone to fulfill his physical desires… When Stella heard Taya say she was a substitute, she added one and one and came up with
Andre glanced at Griffon. The look in his Alpha’s eyes was borderline terrifying, and Andre could tell how crazy his possessiveness was from the gleam there. He had wanted to persuade Griffon to return Taya to Jackson, but when he saw Griffon’s expression, he tactfully s hut his mouth. He knew better than to challenge his Alpha when his mind was set on something. Griffon probably felt something for the woman, even though he would rather not admit it, so he decided to fight with Jackson. However, the Alpha didn’t express his thoughts, so Andre couldn’t point them out. He respectfully replied with a “yes, Alpha” and tried to block all news of Taya being at the pack manor. Although the pack members who worked in the personal, private house were all the Alpha’s trusted followers, they were unable to resist the means of the mother Luna in the old house of the Knight pack. Andre felt he should clear all the obstacles for the Alpha as best he could.Taya didn’t know about what had happened i
As soon as Jackson mentioned Griffon, he felt a sharp pain all over his body, as if his bones had been pierced. His wolf howled within him. He knew that Taya had sold herself to save his life, but he didn’t know that the person who had bought her was the Knight pack Alpha. If he hadn’t taken her away from him that day, he would still be in the dark. Jackson felt terrified at the thought of Griffon, who was even more powerful than him. There weren’t many wolves in this world that had that effect on him, but Alpha Knight was one of them.Griffon could ruin him with no effort at all, and wouldn’t even have to touch him. He grabbed Harper’s hand again. “Please, tell me where she is. If I can’t find her, I will go crazy…” Harper looked at the irrational wolf and suddenly felt he was the same as when he discovered that Taya had sold herself after the car accident. At that time, Silas was no longer as gentle as he used to be. He scolded and kissed Taya and was not like a normal person at all
Taya had planned to tell him about her departure after she got out of bed. Since Griffon had taken the initiative to ask, she could take the opportunity to ask him. “He must have something urgent to discuss with me. Please have someone take me home.” “Are you so anxious to see him?” Griffon looked down at her from where he stood, towering above her. Under the shadows of light, his face looked even more sinister and frigid. “Yes.” Taya was a little afraid of him but still nodded, against her heart’s wishes. Even if she would rather not see Jackson, she had to leave immediately. Since Griffon was planning his mating ceremony to Tara, it was inappropriate for Taya to stay at his house overnight. She had only forgotten about his mate-to-be because she had been touched by the warmth he showed. Now that she had completely woken up, she felt she should no longer be entangled with a man with a fiancée. Taya looked calm, but there was a hint of anxiety in her eyes.It seemed that she couldn’t
While Taya was hugging her legs and leaning against the headboard in a daze, bright headlights hit the floor-to-ceiling gla*s. Then, the sound of wheels rolling on the ground came from downstairs, and a luxury car stopped at the villa’s gate. A pack guard holding an umbrella opened the rear door, and a tall man slowly got out of the car. He tore off the tie around his neck with one hand and ordered coldly, “Don’t let him in.” The pack guard replied with a “yes.” After walking the man to the door, he turned around and walked toward the iron gate outside the garden. Taya stood before the French window and followed the pack guard’s line of sight. From a distance, she saw a man outside the iron gale. She was too far away and it was raining heavily, so she couldn’t see the man’s face clearly and didn’t care much about him. Withdrawing her gaze, she struggled to walk down the stairs with the help of the wall. Griffon hadn’t returned for several days, and she hadn’t had the chance to propose
