Chapter 232
The door to Taya’s room was open, and the voices of
the two people outside were clearly audible.
The harsh truth of Griffon’s words ripped through her.
She meant nothing to him.
Five years.
Five years of her life-the LAST years of her life- spent on a cr uel man who only viewed her as an
elevated se x toy.
She’d hoped and hoped that he felt SOMETHING for her, but she had never before had a moment that made her completely lose hope like now…
She raised her right hand and increased the speed of the slow drip of the IV, thinking that if the fluid were infused faster, the symptoms would improve faster
and she could get out of here.
After Stella left, Griffon looked toward the bedroom
and saw that the door was open. A snarl crossed his
face.
He got up and walked quickly to the room. As soon as
he walked in, he saw Taya adjusting the IV.
Her face showed little emotion; she looked as gentle
and obedient as before.
When she saw him coming in, she smiled at him and dispelled any worry he had that she’d overheard
what he’d said to Stella.
Then again, he’d spoken quietly, so she probably did not hear them. If she had a wolf’s senses, she would have easily heard what was being said. This was one time he was actually glad she was a human.
After letting out a sigh of relief, Griffon sat down
beside her.
“Do you feel better?”
Taya pretended that nothing had happened and
nodded. “I do now, yes.
Then, they didn’t say anything.
The silence made the atmosphere between the two
of them slightly awkward.
Seeing that he wasn’t going to leave, Taya couldn’t help but ask, “Alpha Knight, can you help me find my
bag?”
Her bag had been left in the banquet hall of the Seaview Hotel, and her phone and other things were inside. She was afraid that Harper would be anxious if she couldn’t find her, but she had no way of retrieving her belongings on her own right now.
Griffon felt a little uncomfortable when she called him “Alpha Knight.”
She’d always called him that out of deference to his position of power and their power dynamic. But since
they had parted ways, he felt that she was getting
farther and farther away from him. Every time
she called him “Alpha Knight” made the distance
between them feel even more vast.
Griffon frowned. He cleared his mind, took out his
phone, and called Andre.
Andre had to return and forcefully take Taya’s bag
from Jackson’s hands.
Andre looked at the small whi te leather bag in his hand and couldn’t help shake his head. This was probably the most childish thing he had ever done.
When Andre arrived at the villa with Taya’s bag, Griffon had already left the guest bedroom where Taya was and was now buried in his work in the
study.
Andre knocked on the door.
“Alpha, here is Ms. Palmer’s bag.”
Andre placed it on Griffon’s desk.
Griffon raised his eyes and glanced at Frank, who was standing beside him.
“Take it to her.”
“Yes, Alpha,” Frank answered, then took the bag and
turned to leave.
After Frank closed the door, Andre began to report the latest situation to Griffon.
“Jackon is sending people to look for Taya. It seems that he won’t give up until he finds her.”
“And Ms. Thorin is also looking for the woman you were holding yesterday. I’m afraid your mother will be alarmed if it goes on like this…”
Just mentioning Griffon’s mother made Andre break out in a cold sweat, let alone what consequences they would face if they really angered her.
“Let Stella deal with Tara. As for Jackson…”
Griffon’s eyes narrowed and turned to the amber of his wolf’s eyes. It was as if Andre had touched his sore spot just by mentioning Jackson’s name.
“Let him look for her.”
If Jackson was as great of an Alpha wolf as he thought he was, he would be able to find her. He would deserve to find her.
As for whether he could see Taya or not, that decision was not up to Jackson.
