Jackson had already realized it but didn’t expect her to admit it.
She probably wasn’t concerned about his feelings because she didn’t love him anymore.
It made sense. He had been absent for five years in that way, so it was normal for her to fall in love with someone else.
However, why did he feel so uncomfortable…
The suffocating feeling gripped his heart, making it impossible for him to break free.
In the end, he could only say, “Then what should I do…”
He had only lived for Taya since he was a pup.
She had fallen in love with Griffon. What should he do?
Seeing him like this, Taya’s eyes were filled with guilt.
“I’m sorry…”
Jackson raised his head, his bloodshot eyes reflecting her apologetic face. “I don’t want your apology. I want you. Taya, please don’t love him anymore. Love me again, okay?”
He grabbed Taya’s cold hand and put it in his palm. “I’ll treat you well in the future. I won’t let you get hurt at all. Let’s go back to the past and be as carefree as we were before, okay? My pack will accept you. You’ll be my Luna, you’ll be one of us…”
Taya shook her head gently. “Silas, we can’t go back to the past…”
Jackson didn’t believe her at all. “You’re lying to me,
aren’t you? If you really loved him, you wouldn’t have said those heartless words to him just now. You don’t love him at all. You’re just blaming me. That’s why you lied to me like that…”
“I said those heartless words because he doesn’t love me.” Taya calmly interrupted Jackson. “He bought me because I look like Tara Thorn. Now that she is back,
he will mate her soon.”
Another reason was that she was about to die. She didn’t want Griffon to see her miserable state before she died. It was too ugly.
She thought that even if she were to die, she had to Leave a good impression on Griffon. When he found out in the future…
If he could still remember her in the future, he would only remember her delicate and beautiful face, not her disfigured appearance.
Jackson looked at her and suddenly gave a bitter smile.
If she was just a substitute, why did he touch her after Tara returned?
Moreover, Griffon did it before him, clearly declaring his sovereignty as a more powerful Alpha.
Perhaps it was because Griffon had never expressed his feelings for Taya that she didn’t know how crazy the possessiveness hidden in his wolf’s eyes was.
However, even though Taya thought Griffon didn’t love her, she still fell in love with him. Jackson couldn’t judge how deep her love was.
His heart ached as if a needle had pricked it, but he couldn’t do anything to her.
He held her hand tightly, his fingertips trembling. “Taya, he doesn’t love you. Can you let him go and?
start over with me?”
Even though he knew Griffon had feelings for her,
he didn’t want to tell her. His selfishness only wanted Taya to return to his side.
He couldn’t remember when he started to fall in love with Taya, but he had loved her since he could remember.
How could he let go of someone he had loved for half his life just like that?
However, Taya pushed his hand away…
“Silas, even if you don’t mind, we can’t start over…
He was also the man she had once loved. Similarly, she did not want him to see her miserable state before she died.
Only by severing ties with him, would he stop pestering her, and she could leave this world at ease.
“Silas, do you know why I’m here to entertain you?
It was Tara who forced me to do this. Otherwise, I would never have seen you again!”
“I’ve completely let go of you. I hope you can also let go of me and return to Wolverly Capital to manage the Sterling Pack. That’s your home.”
After finishing her words in one breath, Taya wanted to open the door and leave, but Jackson hugged her from behind.
He buried his head in her hair. “Taya, I can’t let you go. I WON’T let go.”
Jackson was inherently stubborn and paranoid, unlike Griffon, who was arrogant and cold-hearted. Jackson wouldn’t just turn around and leave after a few harsh words. To break cleanly with him, Taya had to be even harsher.
Taya took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and said, “Alpha Sterling, listen carefully. I don’t care whether you can let me go or not. I don’t love you anymore. If you keep bugging me now, you will only make me look down on you and annoy you.”
She pried open his fingers one by one that were pressing against her waist and continued in a cold voice: “Do you think I can still reconcile with you after your elder brother kicked me twice? I’m telling you, it’s impossible. Those two kicks only made me hate you even more, and because you didn’t return to Wolverly Capital, I was forced to entertain you, which made me even more disgusted with you…”
“Taya …”
His face was full of disbelief, as if he couldn’t believe that Taya, who used to be so delicate and lovely, would say such harsh words to him.
“Alpha Sterling, there are plenty of women in the world. Why do you have to stay with me? I don’t love you anymore.”
Jackson’s eyes were full of sadness. He stared blankly at Taya in front of him, unable to utter a word.
Taya clenched her fists, suppressed the pain in her heart, gritted her teeth, and said, “I don’t want to entertain you anymore. Please go back to Wolverly Capital. Please don’t come to me again in the future.”
After saying this, she left without looking back, as if she didn’t care at all.
As her fading figure disappeared from Jackson’s blurred vision, he came to his senses.
He pushed open the car door and followed.
Taya knew he was following her, so she sighed deeply and went inside alone, ignoring him.
She knew about Silas’s feelings for her. He had always doted on her since childhood, giving her everything she wanted. As they grew up, he worked hard to earn money to provide her with a good life.
He had been working part-time jobs since high school.
Such a good young wolf must have loved her so much that he would do anything for her.
However, what she could repay him with was to shift her love and have less than two months to live…
She had once asked him what he would do if she had pa*sed away before me.
Silas said, “Then I’ll go with you and commit suicide in front of your grave, since we won’t be able to fully mate like wolves. I’ll never let you be alone on the way to hell.”
He was a man of his word, so she believed he would not do anything foolish now that he had found her home and had a backup plan. However, Taya was still afraid to tell him she was about to leave this world.
She pushed the door open and entered her home while Jackson stood guard at the door, staring at the door motionlessly.
The pack guards behind him all looked puzzled.
Their Alpha seemed to have changed since getting his head wound.
Although he still looked like a strong Alpha, his eyes showed a trace of sadness.
