How could Griffon have had something like that investigated?
Or…did he know based on my scent? I knew Griffon had senses that were even more heightened than other wolves, being the powerful Alpha he was. But is that something he would be able to detect?
I searched his eyes, waiting for something more, not knowing what to say.
He seemed to be waiting for my explanation.
However, I had indeed slept with someone. It just wasn’t who he thought it was.
None of this would change anything. It didn’t matter if I told him the entire truth, and it didn’t matter if I lied to him. We would just continue to go around and around in circles.
“I lied last time because I was angry with you. But this time, it’s true. Jackson is different from Roman. He’s kind and gentle, and I like him very much.”
I met Griffon’s gaze, and I was careful to refer to Jackson without his Alpha title, to imply an intimacy that wasn’t actually there.
Griffon let go of my chin, and it was almost as if I was watching the light go out of his eyes.
After a long silence, he asked, “Did you know him before?”
I shook my head. “No. Yesterday was the first time we met.”
Griffon was so angry that he laughed.
It was terrifying.
“You’re unbelievable. You’re really something, aren’t you?”
My lips curled in a wry smile. “Didn’t you say that before?”
My sarcastic remark caused Griffon’s face to darken.
His gaze bored into mine, and I was fairly sure he wanted to strangle me to death right now if the look in his eyes was any indication.
Then his large body pressed down on me, it was as if I’d actually been pounced on by a wolf, making it hard for me to breathe.
I’d been afraid this would happen, but I hadn’t thought it would.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t understand him. He’d broken up with me. Why did he care so much about what I did?
Or was it because he couldn’t stand the thought of someone touching what once belonged to him.
Before, he’d been adamant about no one else touching me. He didn’t want me tainted. No one touched something that belonged to the mighty Alpha Knight.
No one.
I remained still, unmoving as I tried uselessly to figure out Griffon’s motivations.
Then, he gently bit my earlobe, the tip of his wolf’s lengthened canine lightly scraping across my flesh.
“Are you truly so needy?”
Lightning shot through my body the moment Griffon bit my earlobe. An overwhelming electrified sensation spread throughout my body.
My face instantly flushed. I twisted my head, trying to avoid his touch, but he lifted a hand and cupped my head to stop me from moving.
He bit my earlobe again, lowered his voice, and asked, “Hmm?”
The tone of his voice had an almost charming, sensual ring to it.
My heart instantly skipped a beat.
Griffon’s voice was magnetic and S**y, and I was drawn to it like a moth to the flame.
His voice lingered in my ears, making it difficult for me not to respond to him-both with my body and my heart.
But I forced myself to calm down.
Griffon’s actions were meant to humiliate me.
pursed my lips, not saying a word, trying not to show any esponse to him even though I was aching for him.
Ie slowly moved from my earlobe to my neck.
He kissed me on the collarbone and asked in a low voice, “Tell me, how much do you need to satisfy you?”
His tone was a little gruff, as if he were scolding me for disobedience.
My mind was a mess. I was so flustered that I didn’t even dare to look at him.
My body betrayed me and gradually went limp under his gentle kisses.
“I’ll give you a billion dollars. All you have to do is say no to Jackson.”
It was as if he was trying to seduce me, which made me tremble.
I grabbed the seat belt, clenched my fists, and slowly looked at Griffon, who was still kissing me.
“You…you don’t you think I’m di rty?”
His kisses stopped and his body stiffened. His grasp on my waist loosened.
It was as if he was suddenly a million miles away from here.
Just as I thought he was about to let go of me, he buried his face in my neck.
His word was mumbled against my skin. “Why?”
His rough tone dripped with accusation, and his movements were still.
I knew what he was asking-why I’d been with Jackson. What I didn’t know was why he cared. He’d never liked me; all I’d ever been was a substitute until his true mate came back, until he could be with his Luna.
Perhaps it was because he was drunk that he couldn’t help touching me.
I couldn’t figure it out and didn’t want to try to figure it out anymore.
“Alpha Knight, we aren’t together anymore. Isn’t it normal for me to move on?”
He blamed me, but it was apparent that he didn’t want me. Why should I always keep my body for him alone?
When he heard this, his body became stiffer, and he pulled away slightly. There was a low rumble in his chest, and I feared his wolf.
I automatically distanced myself from him, pressing back against the seat as much as I could. I dared not lift my eyes to look up at him, fearing that his wolf would take it as a challenge.
A wolf shifter could be ruthless when you displeased them. I’d learned that the hard way with Silas.
I was afraid of being beaten, so I subconsciously raised my hands to my chest to protect myself.
Fortunately and surprisingly-all he did was hold me.
Only then did my tense body slowly start to relax…
I could feel his grip on me tightening, as if he wanted to pull me into his body even closer.
I was more than confused. Griffon hated me so much…but he was clutching onto me so tightly.
“Griffon…”
I said his name softly, and his body stiffened again. Then, he hugged me even tighter.
Perhaps he did care about me a little… But he had Tara. His mate, his Luna.
Gently, I pushed him away and said with a smile, “It’s not worth it for you to do this.”
I could be the mistress of a single man, but I would never be the mistress of someone who had a love And from the moment I was defiled by Greyson, Griffon and I were destined to have no chance together.
