Jackson looked at me and took a step forward, then stopped abruptly. It was as though I had pricked him. If only I could. If only I were a porcupine shifter or something-if those even existed. All those little needles to protect myself from all these Alphas and their tempers. He let out a huff. “I don’t need you to flatter me. I just want to make sure you’re okay.” I’d readied myself to fight with him; I didn’t expect him to say such a thing. It threw me off-kilter. And now he was smiling, which threw me off even more. He seemed genuinely concerned about my physical condition and asked a few more questions. Jackson turned around, picked up the plate on the table, and handed it to me. “Eat something first.” I did not respond, just stared blankly at the food on the plate. “Taya?” When Jackson called my name, I slowly raised my head to look at him. I tried to keep my expression bland and indifferent, but I couldn’t help the tears in my eyes. My hopes that he didn’t see them were dashed w
Jackson didn’t know why, but every time he saw Taya, he couldn’t help but feel sad. When he first lost his memory, he felt nothing when he saw her. But when they met again this time, it was different. Something had shifted, and now all he could do was FEEL, and it threw him for a loop. I wasn’t sure if I believed him. But something in his eyes told me he was telling the truth, that he wasn’t faking it just for my sake. A honk sounded from behind us, and Jackson and I turned around at the same time. Two cars had stopped behind us. The car in the front had the license plate number ALPHA1. The was only one person in Arcadia with this license plate number. I subconsciously buried my head in Jackson’s arms when I saw who was in the car? I’d hoped that he wouldn’t see me, but I didn’t expect that he would get out. The first person to get out of the car was Preston. He was wearing a black suit. He opened the pa*senger door and walked up to us. “Alpha Sterling, Ms. Palmer, what a coincidence
The stiff smile on my face became more bitter. “No need.” There was no need to waste medical resources on a dying person. “You…” Jackson wanted to persuade me again, but I turned to look out of the window, shutting down any further communication. After Jackson parked the car in front of my house, he carried me the front steps. up Even though I didn’t want him to know where I lived, I could do nothing in this situation. I took out the key to open the door, and Jackson carried me into the house. “Put me on the sofa,” I said. Jackson nodded.He walked to the sofa and gently put me down. I sat up straight and looked up at him. “Thank you very much.” On the surface, I was thanking him, but the meaning behind my words was to say goodbye to him. “Rest at home for the next few days. You don’t have to entertain me.” After that, Jackson turned around and left. Walking past the kitchen, he saw a photo in the wine cabinet. It was a photo of Taya and Harper when they were seventeen or eighteen. Th
Jackson’s depression slowly dissipated when he saw Eric’s message. Since he had found out he was an Alpha and gone to live with the Sterling pack, friends were few and far between. Everyone was either afraid of him, or they wanted something from him. However, what Eric said confirmed his guess? It meant that Taya said back then was true, and the information he’d been given was all fake. The only person who could fake Jackson’s past was his brother. But why would he do something like that? Was it because he thought Taya wasn’t an appropriate mate for him? Jackson had a rough idea of the situation and why his brother would want Taya out of the picture. But how exactly did his amnesia occur? And what was the reason Taya didn’t like him? Could it be that his brother had said something to her? Jackson sent all these questions to Eric, and Eric quickly replied. [I really don’t know how your amnesia was caused.] [As for Ms. Palmer, I’ve never heard your brother mention her before, and I’ve n
Taya thought about it for a minute, then replied. [It takes a lot to make me feel this worn out.] Maybe he would think she had slept with Jackson too many times and would not want to touch her again. After she sent the message, Greyson didn’t reply. Taya couldn’t help but smile. She put away her phone and hurried outside. Harper had parked the car and was getting things out of the trunk. “Harper!” Taya hurriedly walked over and gave her a big hug from behind. Harper turned around and smiled at Taya. “Did you miss me?” “Of course!” Taya hugged her tighter. “I missed you so much!” Harper smiled and patted the hand around her waist. “All right, all right. It’s only been a few days. There’s no need to be like this.” Taya smiled, let go of Harper’s hand, and asked, “Where are the gifts you brought me?” Harper turned around and pointed to the ground. “All this.” Taya looked at Harper in surprise when she saw the pile of gifts. “Why do you buy so many things?” “You know how I love to shop an
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
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
