Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

I shook with anger.

How dare he threaten Harper in such a way. She had no involvement in any of this. But there was no way I was going to risk any harm coming to her. Not when I wasn't long for this world anyway.

Once I was dead, this would all be over and Harper would be safe.

I gritted my teeth. "Don't worry."

Only then did Roman let go of me.

A hint of regret colored his voice, his fingers tightening on my chin as he stared at me. "I really wanted to fuck you. But now..." The points of his claws came out, and he licked one of his canines, leering at me. "For now, let's just focus on you securing the Westen City project for my pack. I want that more than I want to fuck you right now. After you've gotten the project for me, we can focus on our relationship..."

I swallowed hard, trying not to flinch at his grip on my jaw.

He leaned forward to kiss me-hard-and then abruptly let go of my face, turning to leave.

Once he was gone, I lay on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.

I stood up slowly with the help of the sofa, trembling all over.

I didn't know who frightened me more-Roman or Griffon.

With shaky hands, I dug the medicine from my bag and took a few pills to calm my heart before struggling to leave.

After I was finally outside of Nightshade, the cold wind whipped through my dress.

However, I didn't feel cold at all. Like a statue, I walked home step by step.

A Town Car pulled up, blocking my way.

Andre exited the car, walked up to me, and said respectfully, "Ms. Palmer, Alpha Knight is looking for you."

I continued walking forward, keeping my face schooled as if I hadn't heard him speak.

Andre reached out a hand and placed it on my elbow to stop me. "Ms. Palmer, you know Alpha Knight's temper. He's not someone you can afford to offend."

Yes, of course, I thought, rolling my eyes. But...how could I offend the powerful and influential Griffon as a wolfless orphan with nothing?

I couldn't imagine what would happen if I didn't listen to him. It would probably be even more difficult to deal with than Roman's punishment.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Heaving a sigh, I gave up and got into the car obediently, surprised to see that Griffon was in the car. I'd thought Andre would be taking me to him.

The differences between us right now almost made me giggle. This whole situation was ludicrous.

The Alpha wolf versus the nobody human.

His designer suit and expensive cologne versus my dress reeking of spilled wine.

A Rolex versus...nothing.

All I wanted was to get out of here, to get this over with.

"Alpha Knight." I kept my voice chilly and abrupt. "What do you need?"

Griffon turned his head slightly, pursing his lips at my tone.

When I'd been his lover, I'd never spoken to him this way. Would have never dared to speak to him this way. His deep and gloomy eyes seared into my soul as he looked at me, and I had to remind myself to breathe as I got sucked into the depths of his gaze. I turned my head to the side to look away from him, but he suddenly leaned over.
