Taya could only vaguely hear Damian, but she heard enough. She stood there and didn’t move. When Damian opened the door and saw her, his handsome face froze. “Taya…” After a moment of hesitation, Damian quickly reacted and pointed to his phone. “One of my pack members has a problem with something, and I’m trying to negotiate with them to give me more time…” His explanation was reasonable, but he didn’t make clear what he meant by “It’s too obvious if I visit too frequently…” Taya didn’t intend to question him directly, so she said calmly, “Why are you explaining so much to me? I didn’t even hear what you said.” Damian’s tense expression relaxed. “I’m just afraid you’ll misunderstand, so I want to explain it clearly.” Taya picked up the plate and walked to the kitchen. “I was just about to open the door when you opened it. What a coincidence!” Seeing her put the plate in the refrigerator, Damian’s doubts. were dispelled. She must have come to the kitchen to put things away and didn’t m
Taya laughed at herself, withdrew her gaze, and looked at Jackson sitting in the driver’s seat. “Where will the celebration banquet be held?” “Seaview Hotel.” It was the most luxurious hotel in Arcadia. The celebration banquet held by the Sterling pack was mainly to celebrate the acquisition of the contract in the Weston City project. Although it was just a project for the Sterling pack, it laid the foundation for their expansion and partnerships in Arcadia. Taya thought Jackson would take her to the hotel, but he dr ove to the mall-to the same high-end dress shop he’d taken her before. The difference was that he bought her ten custom dresses, including bags and jewelry this time. Looking at the high-end paper bags put into the trunk one by one by the staff, Taya felt a headache coming on and rubbed her forehead. “This is far too much to spend.” Jackson leaned against the car door and tilted his head to look at her. “You’re not allowed to return any of it this time, or I’ll just keep
Taya’s heart skipped a beat the moment she saw Roman. Fear and nervousness overwhelmed her. “Roman… Beta Starke…” She was so scared that the blood drained from her face and her voice was trembling. Seeing she was so scared, Roman tilted his head slightly and said, “Taya, long time no see.” Even though she was trembling, she kept outwardly calm. “Is there something you came here to see me about?” Roman seemed to smile and raised his eyebrows slightly. “Nothing, I just want to thank you.” After that, he removed the mask on his face, revealing his mouth, which was covered in stitches. The dense stitches looked a little scary, making Taya step back. However, Roman did not care at all. He crooked his finger at her and said, “Come here.”Taya shook her head. Not only was she unwilling to go over, but she also turned around and ran to the bathroom next door. Seeing this, the two bodyguards holding iron rods behind Roman immediately caught up with her. After blocking her way, they held her ar
It hurt… Suffocating pain… It was so painful that Taya had difficulty breathing… However, Roman did not intend to let her go so quickly. He ordered the two bodyguards to press her down on the sink and look at them with a sinister smile. “My only regret is that I haven’t slept with you, but watching the live broadcast is quite exciting. Don’t you think?” This sentence was much more lethal than the pain in her body. Taya shook her head desperately at Roman, regardless of the injury on her back. “Beta Starke, I really don’t know who the masked man is, and I don’t know what you mean by Mr. Chilton…” She gritted her teeth and didn’t tell him about Greyson because she knew that Roman would let his pack guards violate her once she said who he was. Now he just wanted to use this method to force her to tell him who Greyson was. She would still have had a chance if she didn’t tell him. Not that she actually know who Greyson was. Roman had always known that Taya was intelligent. He couldn’t get
He was just as much an Alpha as Griffon was, and he didn’t give a good god dam n if he was on the other’s wolf’s territory or not. No one would treat Taya that way. When Taya’s clothes slipped off just now, leaving her exposed, Griffon’s pack guards had turned their backs to give Taya privacy. Nudity might be common among shifters and within packs, but it wasn’t common for non-shifters. And clearly, this non-shifter meant something to their Alpha, so they wanted to be respectful. Now that they sensed Jackson’s hostility, scented the pheromones of his Lyman form, they immediately turned back, shifting into their own Lyman forms and leaping at Jackson before he could reach Griffon. No matter how powerful Jackson was, he was no match for so many men in half-wolf form. He was quickly pinned to the ground, unable to move. Andre stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled, “Alpha Sterling, Alpha Knight has some personal issues to deal with.Please step aside.” is tone was very p
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
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
Taya walked up to the second-floor bedroom without turning on the lights. By the dim light, she could see the Koenigsegg downstairs and the man inside. Through the half wound window, Taya noticed that he was typing on his phone. A few seconds later, Taya’s phone vibrated. She took out her phone from her pocket and opened WhatsApp. She saw a photo he sent, a picture of the two of them taken at the seaside. He typed her a message with only a few words: “Don’t delete the picture. Keep it as a memory.” A memory…Why would it be a memory? Taya wanted to reply to him, but she noticed that Griffon had his profile picture to a picture of her. Another message came in. “Taya, I love you. Goodnight.” After thinking for a few seconds, Taya replied, “Goodnight…” The next morning, Taya received a bouquet of roses from him, which was delivered by Andre. He didn’t come himself. Andre explained, “Ms. Palmer, Alpha Knight has several international meetings to attend today, so he asked me to deliver BIKI
Rebecca had shown up just to meet Taya. Having met her, she thus spun around and left. Looking at her graceful and composed back, Taya, who was so nervous that her heart leapt to her throat, gradually relaxed… She thought that the members of the Knight pack would despise her, look down on her, and even speak ill of her, just like Shelly. Unexpectedly, Griffon’ eldest sister was so gentle and elegant, without any arrogance whatsoever. Even if she did, it was only because of the way she had been raised in a rich pack, as well as the way she viewed the world, which was saturated by the knowledge she had obtained. Griffon lowered his head and asked, “When will you come back to the Knight pack’s house with me for the family dinner?” Taya raised her clear eyes to stare at his flawless face and thought to herself, “In the future.” At that moment, she had yet to reach a position where she could be a proper match for him and attend the Knight pack’s banquet.He didn’t get a response from her,
He brought Taya to the jewelry area. All he did was ask if there was anything she liked. Taya said no so he asked the shop a*sistant to send the latest collection of diamond jewelry to the villa without asking any further questions. The shop a*sistant glanced at Taya with envy, then replied respectfully, “Yes, Alpha Knight…” Taya, who was led out of the jewelry area by Griffon, stared at his back in a daze. He was sending her cars, flowers, and accessories. Was he going to send her clothes next? As Taya expected, Griffon took her to a clothing department selling haute couture garments. This time, he didn’t even ask for Taya’s opinion and directly asked the shop a*sistant to pack up a bunch of clothes. Seeing the shop a*sistants frantically helping her pack clothes, shoes, and bags, Taya rubbed her forehead in helplessness. She lowered her head and looked at Griffon, who was kneeling on one knee and helping her try on a pair of crystal high heels. “Who taught you all these tricks?” Con
Right then, the National Space Administration was funding her project with about 10 million dollars. It was enough to repay Neil for the favor he had done her. If not for his “eloquent” and “careful” teaching over the past couple of months, she wouldn’t have improved so fast. After finishing all of that, Taya turned on the computer. She clicked on various construction-related software, and self-study videos. She was a design student, so she had learned how to use all those software in school. She only had to review the process a few times, and she should be able to remember it. She was rushing to complete a project at that moment, and all she had was a sketch. After completing her sister’s projects, she had to continue taking on other projects as well. Since that was the case, she had to go through the entire process from sketches to post-production renderings. That way, she could grasp every link faster and more clearly. She continued studying until ten o’clock. In an attempt to take
