Ms. Palmer, come with me.” Jackson lightly touched my arm. Only then did I come back to my senses. I followed him into one of the buildings. The security system of the Knight pack was strict. Non-pack personnel had to have their identities verified before they could enter, no exception. We each submitted to the facial scan, and once we were admitted past security, Tara walked over. She greeted Jackson and then looked at me as I followed behind Jackson. “Alpha Sterling, do you mind if I have a few words with Taya?” “Ms. Palmer is your employee. Why would I mind?” Tara’s tone sounded polite, but there was a hint of sarcasm in it. And by the way, Jackson had answered her, it seemed as though he had picked up on the sarcasm as well-and didn’t like it. Jackson looked over at me. “I’ll wait for you inside.” Then, he led the members of the Sterling pack away. As soon as he left, Tara smiled. “You’ve treated Alpha Sterling quite well.” Tara looked at me with contempt.“Not everyone can attend
Preston tilted his head slightly and looked behind me. “Isn’t it here?” I turned around and looked at the white wall in a daze. Could it be that Preston was not of the same species as me, so he saw something different with his wolf eyes that my human eyes couldn’t see? Preston glanced at me as if he were looking at a fool. He stepped forward and knocked on the door, which opened automatically. Then he pointed at the letters on the wall and scolded me as if he were teaching a lesson to a primary school student. “Isn’t it clear enough? Don’t you know English?” I suppressed my anger and replied, “Yes, I do.” I’d been so me blush, it seemed he couldn’t help mocking me again. “Ms. Palmer, beauty alone is not enough. Knowledge is also vital. Otherwise, it won’t be so easy to mate into the Sterling pack.” His sarcastic tone was the same as Griffon’s.They were indeed related. Ignoring Preston, I walked into the break room, picked out my son coffee beans, and put them in the coffee machine to
Jackson sipped on his coffee slowly. It wasn’t until the host on the stage called out to the Sterling pack that he gulped it down. Seeing that he was about to go on stage after handing me the coffee cup, I couldn’t help but worry. “Have you finished reading the documents?” Jackson hadn’t even read any of the documents while he was waiting for his turn. How was he prepared for this? Jackson tapped a finger lightly on his temple and said confidently, “Don’t worry. I just needed to read them once.” I froze. That’s right. Jackson had a photographic memory. So…how could he lose his memory? His words dispelled the last bit of kindness I had left for him. He was putting on an act. I had almost mistaken him for the previous Silas. My stiff expression made him question me. “What’s wrong with you?” Frustrated, I shook my head. “I’m fine. Hurry and go on stage.” Once the bidding ended, I could part ways with Jackson and never see him again. Jackson looked as if he were about to say something els
Without batting an eyelid, Griffon said, “I just want to see how the Sterling Alpha is going to deal with Roman’s leftovers. Aren’t you afraid of being infected?” Jackson’s face darkened. “I thought you were more of a gentleman than to slander a woman.” Griffon pushed off the pillar and straightened his back. He walked up to Jackson and stared him in the eye. “And you’re the judge of what is ‘gentlemanly”?” Jackson didn’t reply. Instead, he looked at Griffon with a scrutinizing gaze. “Alpha Knight, you seem to have been targeting me.” Griffon had singled him out at the bidding, here in the dining room, and even the first time they met. Jackson had never seen Griffon before, let alone done anything to offend him. Why was the Knight Alpha so focused on him? Perhaps…did he think Jackson was a threat? Something flashed in Griffon’s eyes, but it was gone too quickly for Jackson to place it. “I was just afraid that you would be fooled.” ” Griffon didn’t reply, and his expression remained ne
My heart began to pound when I met Griffon’s eyes. The amber color of his wolf’s eyes had taken over, and they swirled with anger and desire. A look I was very familiar with. I subconsciously looked away, down at the ground, only to see his hand wrapped around my waist. He must have grabbed my waist to lift me up from lying down on the sofa. Now I was half-lying and half-sitting up, one of his hands around my waist and the other behind my back as he held me up. He was leaning over me, his giant body an almost suffocating presence even though he wasn’t touching me apart from where his hands held me. I lifted one hand and tried to push him away, but as soon as my fingertips touched his chest, he growled, “Don’t touch me!” Frightened, I froze, and I dared not make more contact with him. I obediently withdrew my hand, but I was also a little puzzled. I looked down at the hand that was still holding my waist. If he didn’t want me to touch him, why was he holding me like this? I didn’t dare
Griffon thought she had slept with Jackson in less than a day because she wanted to take this opportunity to attach herself to the Alpha. He hadn’t imagined that they’d been lovers before now. No wonder they’d fallen into bed so easily. They were making up for lost time, it turned out. Realizing this, Griffon’s body became rigid… “Taya Palmer, was that the first time you sold yourself?” He rarely called me by my full name. I didn’t dare to lie to him, so I quickly nodded and said, “Yes.” If he had thought I wasn’t a virgin when I’d sold myself to him, I didn’t know what he would do. Alphas didn’t share well, and they were very possessive. But Griffon didn’t seem to believe me. “I can’t tell whether you’re telling the truth.” I was almost stunned. Surely, he could tell, could smell it on me if I lied. Human pheromones were forceful to wolves. Plus… “I… You saw it that first time. The bedsheets…” There had been blood on the whit e sheets, but she was too embarra*sed to say that. The fir
Ms. Palmer also grew up in the Bright Orphanage.” “As a human?” Griffon asked. Andre nodded. “She was dropped off at their doorstep. Since it is widely known that the Bright Orphanage is for wolf shifters, it was a*sumed that a wolf shifter dropped her off and she was a shifter. But, as you know, she never received the gift of her wolf from the goddess. “Ms. Palmer and Silas were at the orphanage at the same time. It would appear that Ms. Palmer, Silas, and Ms. Palmer’s best friend-a Harper Duke-were very close. Though, upon reaching their teenage years, Ms. Palmer and Silas became a couple. They remained together up to five years ago when Silas had a car accident. At that time, Ms. Palmer had just turned eighteen and had no money, so she had to sell herself to save him. “Although he was saved, Silas lost his memory. He doesn’t remember Ms. Palmer, so it would appear they haven’t been in contact with each other since. I could find nothing regarding interaction between them over the pa
Although he didn’t like Jackson, there was no doubt that the Sterling pack’s bid was the best. And with their influence and connections, they would be able to complete the work as they promised. Griffon had never brought his personal feelings into pack business. When he’d taken over as Alpha for his father, he’d vowed to always do what was best for the pack. Currently, letting the Sterling pack have the project was what was best for the pack despite how much Griffon hated it. Stephen nodded. “I’ll go announce the results now, Alpha.” When Stephen announced that the Sterling pack had won the bid for the development rights, the other packs were disappointed.They had thought that since Griffon had targeted Jackson so much during his presentation and asked so many questions, he wouldn’t award the project to the Sterling pack. They didn’t expect Griffon to ask so many questions to know more about the strength of the Sterling pack, rather than to back him into a corner, put him on the spot
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
