Amon Yardley, Amon Yardley… Taya searched for this name in her mind, but she still couldn’t recall anything. She stared into his eyes. She was full of doubts and eager to know more information. But it appeared Amon didn’t want to talk to her anymore. He got up and walked out. Not long after he left, a blonde nurse with blue eyes came in. As she helped Taya clean up her body, she whispered a few words in Taya’s ear in a language Taya didn’t understand. French, maybe? She didn’t say anything else and left after cleaning Taya up. After she left, Taya looked around what she could see of the house. It was decorated in a simple French style. So, French was probably correct for the language. Did that mean she was no longer in the US? How long had it been, and how had Amon-or whoever helped him-gotten her out of the country if that was the case? Judging from George’s words, she seemed to have been in a deep coma. Why hadn’t Harper and Silas come to find her? Could it be that they knew that sh
Griffon’s face darkened. He quickly typed back. [That’s not a funny joke.] The response was almost immediate. [It is not a joke. I don’t know who you are, but based on the messages I read on here, you don’t sound like a great guy. If you want to find her, you can go to hell, to do it.] His heart stuttered. No, that wasn’t possible. He opened the door and looked at Andre, who was visibly flustered and upset, a rare occurrence for his a*sistant. “What happened?” he demanded, the gruffness and worry his wolf was feeling infusing his typically rigid tone, though he managed to keep the rest of his reaction calm. “Alpha… `Stella just called to tell me that Ms. Palmer pa*sed away at 2:19 p.m. yesterday…” After Andre finished speaking, he looked up at Griffon. He didn’t know if Alpha Knight didn’t hear him clearly or if he didn’t care. Why wasn’t he reacting? After standing awkwardly at the door for a while, Andre said uneasily, “I won’t disturb your rest.” Andre turned to leave, but a brusqu
No, you didn’t suddenly get heart failure. Everything still pointed to a scheme. Taya had lied to Griffon several times before, so this type of treachery wasn’t beyond the scope of her character. He tried to comfort himself by telling himself this, but the uneasiness wouldn’t go away, and he could make himself fully believe in the story he was trying to spin in his head. He put down his phone, walked to the door, and opened it. Andre was worried about his Alpha, so he hadn’t left, had stayed outside the door. When he saw how Griffon looked when he opened the door, he couldn’t help but gasp. “Alpha Knight, what’s wrong?” Griffon narrowed his blood-red eyes and ordered, “Call Stella.” He wanted to ask her what was happening, but he couldn’t bring himself to make the call.It was as if somewhere, deep inside, he knew what she was going to say. His wolf’s intuition was rarely wrong, and there was definitely a reason why his wolf was so upset. Andre quickly took out his phone and called St
He didn’t believe that Taya was lying inside. He had to expose their lies! Andre waved her hand at the pack guards, who immediately moved forward, shovels in hand. Harper rushed to stop them while Jackson grabbed Griffon by the collar of his white dress shirt. What are you trying to do? She’s dead!” Griffon growled and started to shift into his lycan form, reaching up to grab Jacks on’s wrist with a clawed hand. He dug his fingers into Jackson’s skin and suppressed his own pain. “Why are you hiding her from me?” Jackson snorted and looked at Griffon as if he were looking at a lunatic. “The mighty Alpha Knight.” He snorted again. “You’re so pitiful. You don’t even have the balls to face her death.” Griffon shoved Jackson away. He pointed to the fresh dirt and snapped his fingers at his men. The man was completely irrational. Everything that Harper had been feeling rose to the surface and poured out of her in a rush. She ran forward, placed her palms on Griffon’s chest, and shoved him a
Harper pulled a letter from her pocket and thrust it at Griffon. “If Taya hadn’t left you this, I would never have told you anything.” After stuffing the letter into his hand, Harper walked away from the graveside. Griffon stared blankly at the paper, then unfolded it. [Today, Griffon said, “Don’t think I’ll love you.” It turns out that he really doesn’t love me.] Regret filled him. He remembered that night. He had said such harsh words because he had been angry and didn’t want her to leave with Silas, but when he was about to ask her to stay, he suddenly changed his mind. If only he had known… He would have let go of his pathetic and ridiculous Alpha ego and told her… The truth was, he had fallen in love with Taya the moment he saw her. It was not quite midnight, and it was raining heavily. He was covered in blood and sat under the shade of a tree near Arcadia University, waiting for Preston. Taya had probably come to the school to look for someone; she didn’t look old enough to be i
Alpha, Madam is here. She’s waiting for you downstairs…” Griffon opened the safe in his home office and put the letter from Taya inside. The bottom compartment of the safe also contained a beige scarf and a photo he’d taken of her. On the day Griffon had terminated their contract, Taya had left the scarf behind. He had asked Andre to call her and ask her to come and get it, but she asked Andre to throw it away. She was the most resolute, determined person he knew. Once she made up her mind about something, that was that. He knew that from the moment he ended things, she would never come back to him. He reached out to touch the scarf. Her scent infused the fabric, and his wolf whined inside him as he closed his eyes and took in her smell. “Alpha, Madam is coming upstairs. Please hide the photo…” Frank urged Griffon with a panicked expression.However, Griffon took his time and caressed the photo. She was already dead, so there was nothing for him to worry about anymore. The sound of a
After a few seconds, that felt like that stretched to eternity, Griffon slowly loosened his grip on the trigger. The people Taya cared about the most in this world were Silas and Harper. He couldn’t involve the people she loved just for the sake of his revenge. It wasn’t fair to them to involve them in this hell. After fighting his urges and working to get his wolf’s bloodlust under control, he slowly lowered the hand holding the gun. His mother seemed to have expected that he would put down his gun for the sake of the person he cared about, and her smile was even more smug. “That’s why you can’t ever defeat me. You might be an Alpha, but you have a weakness that I don’t have.” Griffon clenched his jaw and let out a low growl. It wasn’t that he had a weakness she didn’t have…it was that by pack law, he couldn’t do anything to her. She was his mother, therefore untouchable. If he were to ever do anything to her in retaliation, and it got back to the elders, he could be stripped of his
As soon as his mother and her people were gone, Griffon looked at Frank, who’d been standing quietly in the corner. “Get a doctor for Stella.” Frank nodded and hurried out of the room. Stella struggled to look at Griffon. “I’m sorry, Alpha…” “It’s not your fault,” he said in a gentle manner that he didn’t usually show. But his eyes weren’t gentle in the slightest. The darker it got outside, the deeper the hatred in his eyes. It was not until Frank came in with the doctor that he got up and left. He opened a locked drawer in his study and took out a golden bronze mask and a set of ink and brushes. He picked up the brush and traced the shape of the green dragon stroke by stroke…After that, he picked up his phone and made a call. The other party quickly answered and asked respectfully, “Sir, what can I do for you?” He stared coldly at the darkening night outside the window and said coldly, “Nox, tonight’s targets are Shelly and Tara.” “Yes, sir. I’ll pick you up right away.” After hangi
