Roman took the opportunity to hand over a bottle of wine. “Alpha Knight, why don’t you let Taya pour a glass of wine for you?” Roman had wanted to see me undress in front of everyone, but he quickly realized that I was his date and that he had publicly referred to me as his girlfriend. He would look like a fool if I took my clothes off in front of everyone-especially an Alpha. And that was the only thing that saved me. Preston reacted quickly and agreed with Roman. “Let her buy a glass of wine as punishment. Pour After that, he signaled me to pour wine for Griffon. How…how was pouring him wine a punishment? I looked up at Griffon.His face was blank, and I couldn’t figure out what he was thinking…if he was thinking anything at all. He’d been holding a glass of wine all evening, but I’d yet to see him take a sip of it. I didn’t know what kind of wine was in his glass, if it was laced with wolves bane or not. I mustered the courage to pick up the expensive red wine on the table, walked
As I kneeled, Khloe laughed with delight, while Preston frowned and the others looked on as if they were watching a show. Roman showed no emotion, only ambivalence. Only Griffon, leaning back against the sofa with one arm stretched across it and his legs spread wide, looked down at me with a smug look across his face. There was no mistaking who the Alpha in the room was, and Griffon clearly knew it. I couldn’t help but think of the hundreds of days and nights we had spent together, but suddenly, it all felt like it wasn’t worth it. I’d thought I could leave with dignity, to escape this place and these people, but I should have known better. This was the cruel reality of our different social statuses. I had slept with him for five years, destined to be trampled under his feet. Stomped down by his status as an Alpha, wolf, and billionaire. However, I had only a few months left to endure. With this thought, I found a sense of calm. I kneeled, poured the wine, and handed the glass to Grif
Taya My whole body stiffened. I didn’t dare to move, afraid of getting Roman even more aroused. I fought to suppress my disgust and keep calm. “Bela Starke, when I fall in love with you one day, I’ll be bold enough for you, too.” Roman pulled me against him, my dress still soaked in red wine, pressed against his chest. He lowered his head to kiss my neck. “I can’t wait that long.” After saying that, he lifted my dress until it was bunched around my waist and started to unzip his pants. All the color drained from my face, and I struggled with all my might.But all that did was turn Roman on even more. He held me even more tightly in his arms and clamped his teeth down on my neck harder. “Beta Starke!” Trapped, I could do nothing but hopelessly try to press my hands against his chest. I frantically looked around for my bag. Sh it. It was on the opposite sofa, too far unreachable. My palms were covered in a cold sweat, anxiety spreading through my body, but I had to force myself to calm
The scent of Griffon’s cologne mingled with the scent of the sweet wine soaked into my dress and made me a bit dizzy. As he approached me, I felt a bit at a loss and tried to move away from him, my hand flailing a bit for the door handle. But the car was too narrow, and I could only move a little before my back was pressed against the door, my hand unable to find the latch in my haze. Griffon shifted his body so that he boxed me against the door, one hand pressed against the car window, the other hold me tightly around the upper arm. His cold eyes glanced briefly over my body, landing on the diamond necklace around my neck. After what felt like an eternity, he let out a contemptuous laugh. “It seems that your new sugar daddy treats you well.” Griffon let a rare smile cross his lips.However, his smile was even more terrifying than his typically Stoic expression. I wanted to explain, but the word “new sugar daddy” rendered me silent. From the moment Roman introduced me as his woman, th
The Alpha stiffened, his eyes flashing with anger and malice. After staring at me, wordless, Griffon quickly pulled out some wet wipes and wiped his fingers. Seeing his actions, I couldn’t help sneering. “Beta Starke told you that he had slept with me. Why bother checking, Alpha?” I kept my face schooled, without a trace of annoyance or embarrassment reaching it, but rather with a hint of worldly charm. My indifferent attitude and repeated provocations made the usually composed Griffon lose his temper. It’d been a while since I’d seen this side of him.He threw away the wet tissue and pinched my chin. Hard. I was going to bruise. My human flesh, the lack of a wolf to help me heal… My body was no match for any wolf’s strength, let alone an Alpha as powerful as him. There was no way he didn’t see that I was in pain, especially since I was wincing, but Griffon ignored it and lowered his head until his nose was almost touching mine. “Haven’t I told you that no one is allowed to touch anyt
Griffon slowly, deliberately set down the glass he was holding. His claws were starting to come out now, and his fingers were clutching the glass so tightly, Preston was afraid it would just disintegrate into a thousand pieces under the pressure. Griffon looked at Preston. “What do you think?” Preston decided to push forward. “I think you like her a little, don’t you? Otherwise, why would you be so angry when you heard she had slept with Roman?” Griffon snarled, “It’s in poor taste to flaunt one’s promiscuity. With a Beta, no less. So I decided to put her in her place. Is that love?”Ah, so there it was. Taya had moved from a man as rich and powerful as THE Alpha Knight, to the “lowly” Beta Starke. That made sense to Preston. Griffon didn’t want people thinking that he and Roman ran in the same circles, close enough to have access to the same women. He would rather not be a*foliated with someone like Roman.Moreover, as soon as Tara returned to the country, Griffon broke things off wit
I was jolted awake by someone pushing me, and I struggled to open my eyes. All I could see were dark shadows, making it difficult to determine where I was. I knew my illness had worsened due to being drenched in the rain, but thankfully my thoughts were still clear, and I remembered that I was in Preston’s car. Quickly, I sat up straight, thanked Preston again, then pushed open the door and exited the car. “Ms. Palmer…” Preston stopped me, took an umbrella from the back seat, and handed it to me. “It’s still raining. Take it.” The logo on the umbrella was designer, and there was no way I was taking something so expensive from him. Especially since I didn’t know if I would have the chance to return it. I softly declined, “Thank you, but it’s only a few steps away. I’ll run.” Preston seemed stunned for a second.He seemed to have read my mind, and he threw the umbrella at me. “You don’t have to return it.” I hated being in this position. I hated taking things from people, and I really h
Taya was quickly settled into a room, given an IV and oxygen, and monitors were set up to keep an eye on her. It wasn’t until midnight that Taya’s high fever slowly subsided. Harper sighed in relief, picked up her phone, and took two days off. Then she leaned against the bed and silently waited for Taya to wake. They’d both been dropped off at the orphanage when they were about a year old, within days of each other. They had become each other’s everything, and the only other person they’d had any relationship with growing up had been the orphanage director. Harper raised her hand, touched Taya’s pale face, and sighed. Taya was unlucky in every way. From the orphanage, to never getting her wolf, to her heart issues. And the two men she had met and fallen for were both scum bags. Fell in and out of a fevered sleep. In a daze, I saw a young man reaching out his bloody hands to me. His face was full of pain. He opened his mouth as if he had said something, but I was too far away to hear h
It was snowing heavily, and more than a dozen luxury cars pulled over at the entrance of Mansion No. 8. The rear pa*senger door of the leading car slowly opened, and a man in a white suit got out. He had a great figure and looked like a statue carved by Go d as he stood by the car door, aloof yet elegant. The seemingly unapproachable man bent over and offered his fingers to the woman inside the car. The moment those icy eyes saw the woman, they exuded warmth and tenderness. It seemed that the woman in the silver-white gown was the only person who could make him reveal his tender side. Putting her hand into his thick palm, she got out of the car with his a*sistance, then gazed up at the mansion with minimalist European style before her. She looked sideways at the man who was much taller than her and smiled curiously, “Why have you brought me to Mansion No. 8?” Griffon took an overcoat and put it on her, then wrapped his arm around her waist and scooped her up, “You’ll know when we go i
As Harper saw him in so much anguish, her eyes turned sad again, “Are you not going to see her ever again?” Silas fell silent. “I might be able to stop thinking about her if I don’t see her again. But if I do… will I lose my mind with jealousy?” He wondered. He sat in the same spot for a long time before he slowly calmed himself and looked at Harper. “Take care of yourself!” He then pushed the wheelchair and headed towards the door. Seeing his fragile figure in the wheelchair, Harper felt bad for him. She chased after him and asked, “Will you answer my calls in the future?” Silas looked up at her with his red-rimmed eyes, then nodded slightly. It was only then that Harper felt relieved, “Remember to tell me when you’re able to move on.” Silas nodded with a smile. There was no trace of resentment on his gentle and handsome face, only resignation. When he moved out of Gmissta, it was windy and cold. Sitting in the wheelchair, he looked up at the flurrying sno wflakes in the night sky. “
When the pa*senger window of the car was lowered halfway, a good-looking face was revealed. Despite the dim streetlight, Harper could still recognize who he was. Stunned for a few seconds, she hurriedly over in her high heels and grew certain that it was him when she got nearer. “Silas.” With a trembling voice, she called out his name. The man inside the car slowly curled his lips into a smile, “Hi, Harper.” As she had not heard him call out her name for a long time, Harper’s eyes turned sad suddenly, “What brings you here?” These few days, she had tried to call him, but he either switched off his phone or did not pick up her calls. She also tried to look for him in the Wolverly Capital, but he refused to see her. Doing so, he seemed to be wanting to sever ties with them, so much so that he no longer recognized her as his sister… She thought that she would lose him for good and did not expect to see him showing up on the day Griffon proposed to Taya. Harper wondered if Silas had been
Taya raised her slender and fair finger and pointed at the ring box as she explained, “Didn’t you prepare your declaration of love?” Preston, who was hiding in the distance, and the members of the Knight pack, who were waiting in the corner, burst out laughing. Surprised to hear the laughter, Taya looked around but saw no one. As she was confused, Griffon held her hand. He opened his thin-lipped mouth and tried to declare his love, but couldn’t come out with anything. In the end, he asked anxiously, “Will you mate me?” Knowing that Griffon would go crazy if she did not say yes, she quickly nodded with a smile, “Yes!” Who else would she mate but him? From the moment she “sold” herself to him, she was destined to mate him, and no one could change that. As he heard her answer, Griffon’ anxious face relaxed, and a half-smile appeared. dainty hand, then put the ring, engraved with their names, on her left middle finger. He believed it was closest to her heart, and putting the ring there me
Harper drove to the beach. Riding shotgun, Taya looked out of the car window at the sea and could vaguely remember that Griffon once brought her to this place. That night, he thought she was sleeping with Jackson, so as Greyson, he sent her countless messages and made hundreds. of calls, but she didn’t answer. Griffon had to drive his Bugatti to intercept her at the garage and bring her over here by the sea. At that moment, Griffon propped his hand on the car window and lowered his head to ask tentatively how many times she had slept with Jackson, hoping to gauge her feelings for him. He even offered her a billion dollars to make her lose interest in the man, while she had been waiting for Griffon to confess his love to her. They probably never had thought that one day he would propose to her, and she would be willing to mate him. Harper pulled her car over in front of a square exhibition hall, “The dinner party is being held inside. Come on.” Harper’s voice brought Taya back from her
Just as Preston was about to tell Griffon about it, the man suddenly called out to Harper, “Ms. Duke, wait a minute.” Harper stopped and turned around to look at Griffon, “What’s the matter, Alpha Knight?” Griffon gestured outwards, “Can I have a word with you?” Harper nodded and walked outside. The two talked briefly before she left. Before Griffon entered the building, Preston turned to Taya and asked, “Do you have anything that you like?” Puzzled for a moment, Taya asked, “Why?” Preston pointed at Harper outside the floor-to-ceiling window, “Help me ask her who she is going on the blind date with. I’ll buy you anything you want.” Standing in front of the dining table, Taya looked up at Preston, “Are you serious about Harper?” The question bewildered Preston, “What are you talking about?” Seeing him like this, Taya knew that Preston hadn’t yet sorted out his feelings for Harper, and she sighed. “If you’re serious about her, Preston, try to win her heart properly and give her a futur
Preston felt suffocated, but did not show it when he asked Harper, “You’re going on a blind date? With whom?” Harper didn’t answer him, and looked politely at Griffon, “Alpha Knight, I think it’s safer if Taya stays here with you, so I won’t be taking her back with me…” Having achieved his goal, Griffon Knight nodded at her, then shifted his gaze to Taya, “I’ll leave you guys alone.” Taking the laptop, he got up and coldly instructed the ser vants as he pa*sed them by, “Serve Madam’s friend well.” The word “madam” gave Taya a sense of security and also impressed Harper. As he had regarded Taya as his she-wolf even before their mating, the serva nts would not look down on her even if she stayed here. Griffon thought about everything, and Harper couldn’t find any flaws in him. Besides, in the past three months, Harper saw how he had vomited blood and almost died several times for Taya. this powerful man would love Taya as much as he valued his own life. Preston wanted to ask Harper with
Lying in bed, Taya was not asleep. She vaguely heard the voice from the bathroom and smiled sweetly. “He wants to mate me so badly! Aww, he’s so wonderful.” She thought. She thought Griffon would come out after the call, but he made another one instead. Taya didn’t hear it very clearly, but she heard him telling Zack to investigate Rosalie and Amon. Without her asking him for help, he was trying to solve all her problems behind her back. “He always makes me feel so rea*sured…” She thought. When Griffon came out of the bathroom and saw the woman sleeping soundly in bed, the corners of his thin lips slowly curled up. He dried his hair, put down the bath towel, then walked over. Lifting the quilt, he lay down and wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind. Holding her tight, he lowered his head and kissed her hair, then closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully. Still awake, Taya took in the mild shower scent of the man behind her, feeling content and touched. She felt happy
After staring for a while, Amon withdrew his lonely gaze and looked at Grace, who had gotten off George and hugged his thigh. A long string of snot was hanging under the little girl’s nose. As she breathed, the snot became longer and longer and flowed more and more. Amon frowned and was about to wipe it off with a tissue when she pulled up his pants and wiped her nose. Seeing that, Amon frowned deeper and wanted to shake her off. But Grace sat down on his shoe, hugged his thigh tightly and refused to come down. “Strange Uncle, you’re a swing!” Amon rolled his eyes, then looked at George who was staring at Grace with a doting smile, and said, “Get her off me!” George spread his palms, showing a helpless expression, “I still have to call someone to clean up your house. Take care of her first.” With that, George walked out of the villa as if nothing had happened. Seeing that Taya was about to get into the car, he hurriedly called her. “Ms. Palmer.” Taya turned to see George walking towar
