Not get married?” Harper’s eyes widened. “I didn’t picture you for being an old cat lady.” “I was just joking.” Taya giggled. A giggle. That was good. Harper drew in a sigh of relief. She was probably just overreacting. Taya had always been the well-behaved and sensible one. Ever since they were little, Taya was the cautious one in their duo. She would never act recklessly, so there was nothing for Harper to worry about. After Harper and Taya chatted a bit more about the mating ceremony and the moonlight ritual, Damian came to pick Harper up. He had changed their flight to Malaysia to the evening, and Taya happened to be free, so she dropped them off at the airport. After telling Harper and Damian to have fun, I waved goodbye to them. After getting home, I went to the bathroom to wash up. My mind was a jumbled mess. It was very strange. Being touched by Roman made me feel disgusted. However, I didn’t feel disgusted when Greyson…did what he did.It wasn’t fully pleasurable, and he was
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
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
