He was just as much an Alpha as Griffon was, and he didn’t give a good god dam n if he was on the other’s wolf’s territory
or not.
No one would treat Taya that way.
When Taya’s clothes slipped off just now, leaving her exposed, Griffon’s pack guards had turned their backs to give Taya privacy. Nudity might be common among shifters and within packs, but it wasn’t common for non-shifters. And clearly, this non-shifter meant something to their Alpha, so they wanted to be respectful.
Now that they sensed Jackson’s hostility, scented the pheromones of his Lyman form, they immediately turned back, shifting into their own Lyman forms and leaping at Jackson before he could reach Griffon.
No matter how powerful Jackson was, he was no match for so many men in half-wolf form. He was quickly pinned to the ground, unable to move.
Andre stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled, “Alpha Sterling, Alpha Knight has some personal issues to deal with. Please step aside.”
is tone was very polite, but his actions were very rough.
Whether Jackson was willing or not, the pack guards pulled him away.
Jackson’s chest heaved as he boiled over with rage.
Taya knew nothing good would come of Jackson and Griffon getting into a fight. There were too many pack issues and Alpha issues at play, so she tried to smooth the situation over as best as she could.
Especially since she couldn’t bear the thought of either man getting hurt by the other.
“Alpha Knight, I’ll go with you. Don’t hurt him.”
The wound on Jackson’s head was still bleeding and there was no way he’d be able to combat all Griffon’s pack guards. He was a powerful Alpha, but he was weakened from blood loss.
However, Griffon acted as if he hadn’t heard her at all. He raised his hand and pinched her chin between his thumb and index fingers.
“You’re so worried about him. Did you have a great time sleeping with him, letting him touch you with his filth y hands? I should remove his hands for that.”
Taya opened her mouth to retort but didn’t know what to say.
He let go of her chin, lifted her coat, and looked at her collarbones covered with bite marks. His expression turned from chilled to glacial.
“You two really can’t bear to be apart from each other, even during that time of the month…”
Taya was floored. She had only told Greyson that she was on her period. How did Griffon know?
She looked at Griffon in shock, only to see his eyes fall on her blood-stained hands.
That was a lot of a*sumptions for him to make.
In the face of his humiliation and distrust, Taya was much calmer than before.
She said in a low voice, “We are no longer together. Whom I sleep with, how I do it, and when I do, it is none of your business.”
Before Taya could blink, Griffon’s large hand was wrapped around her neck, and she was lifted off the ground.
The force of his tight fist choked her airway, suffocating her.
The suffocating feeling was slowly taking hold of her heart, making her desperately gasp for air.
However, Griffon only tightened his grip on her neck…
Taya tried to tug at the corner of Griffon’s shirt with trembling hands, but she didn’t have the strength. She’d never have the strength to fight back against a ruthless Alpha like him.
She could only look at him with tears as she struggled to breathe, hoping he would show mercy and let her go.
Seeing her face abnormally pale, as if on the verge of death, Griffon quickly let go of her and tossed her to the ground.
After taking the chance to breathe, Taya lay there with her hands covering her heart. With difficulty, she managed to get out the word, “Medicine…”
She needed to take her heart medicine or get oxygen.
Otherwise, she would di e!
Every time she saw Griffon, she would take a lot of medicine to control her condition.
For so many years, she had only had an attack once in front of him, but that time he mistakenly thought that she was pretending to be ill for money.
Since then, she had hidden her heart disease very well and had never told him about it. But now…
Taya stretched her hand to Griffon and begged for help in a trembling voice. “I… Heart attack… Please… save me…”
She was not afraid of death, but the feeling of suffocating made her body and brain’s survival instincts kick in.
Griffon narrowed his eyes at her.
“Where is the medicine?”
The medicine was…
Oh no.
She’d taken an extra dose right before leaving the house.
Which meant she hadn’t brought it with her.
Taya gave up on asking for help.
Covering her heart, she turned over and looked up at the sky.
It was dark and gloomy, without a trace of light, as if she had come to h ell…
It was her time, and she accepted it.
Then, she felt the world spin around her, and a man picked her up.
Taya forced her eyes open in his strong arms and looked at the perfect profile.
She couldn’t see the expression in his eyes clearly, but she could feel that he was holding her very tightly as if he were afraid of losing her.
This was the first time Griffon had shown her affection or care in front of anyone.
She was greedy for such an embrace and couldn’t help but to lean her head on his chest.
I’ll just indulge myself for once…
Griffon quickly put Taya into the car.
Walking toward the hotel, Tara saw Griffon getting in the car with a woman in his arms. Her face darkened, and she hurriedly walked over, her wolf rippling inside of her with warning.
“Griffon, who is she?” she asked.
When Griffon saw her, he quickly closed the car door, so Tara couldn’t see who the woman was.
She could only stare at the woman in the pa*senger seat through the dark window tint.
“I said, who is she?” she growled out.
Griffon had already proposed to her, and they were even talking about when their mating ceremony would be. But here he was, embracing another woman and putting her in his car.
And for everyone to see!
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Ignoring her, Griffon went straight to the driver’s seat, got in the car, and closed the door without hesitation.
When Tara saw the stretch limo disappear from her sight at an extremely fast speed, it was everything she could do to keep from shifting into her wolf and chasing after the car. She hadn’t even been able to catch a sniff, to scent if the woman was familiar. And she knew better than to ask Griffon’s pack guards.
They wouldn’t say a peep about anything unless they had been explicitly given permission to.
She took out her phone and made a call. “Find out who the woman is that accompanied Alpha Knight to Seaview Hotel today!”
***
Breathless, Taya used all her strength to turn her head and look at Griffon. He was concentrating on the road as he drove at high speeds.
“You… Go… Your mate… Don’t worry…about me…”
Every syllable was a struggle.
She leaned back against the pa*senger seat and tried to take a deep breath, but she could not relieve the suffocating feeling, no matter how hard she tried.
Griffon frowned and glanced at her, but he didn’t reply. With a Once the car stopped, he came around the side of the car to pick her up. Taya stretched out her weak hand to pull his white.
shirt.
“I… I don’t want…hospital…”
Taya’s fingers were cold, as if her body temperature was dropping rapidly. Or maybe she was losing circulation?
Either way, Griffon’s heart trembled, and his wolf pawed at him that he had to hurry.
“Listen to me. You’re struggling to breathe, and there’s oxygen in the hospital.”
After comforting her, Griffon held her tightly and went straight to the emergency room.
One of the doctors rushed forward.
“Alpha Knight-”
“Stella, I think she’s had a heart attack. Help!”
Stella was interrupted by Griffon before she could even speak.
She glanced at the woman in Griffon’s arms, then quickly led him toward a hospital room.
“Come with me!”
She pushed open the door and asked
