Taya grabbed her phone, gritted her teeth, and typed a reply out. [Are you crazy? I don’t belong to you. I can sleep with whomever I want. It’s none of your business!] After sending it, Taya remembered that he still had something on her. She wanted to delete it, but the screen showed that he was already typing a reply… [I must be si ck to be unable to let you go.] What did he mean that couldn’t let go of her? While she was thinking about how to reply to him, he sent another message. [I’ve thought about letting you go, but I miss you so much. I miss you all the time. Can you come to see me at Nightshade?] He was seriously ill. How could he say something like that? How could a ra pist miss her? He must have missed her body. Griffon once said that her body was like an opium poppy, and anyone would become addicted to it after touching it once. Greyson was probably the same as Griffon. Taya sighed and replied, [I’ve been on my period for the past few days. I really can’t meet you.]To dela
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
