Griffon raised his hand and wanted to touch Taya’s face, but she took a step back in shock. Taya looked at his right hand in a daze. There was a hint of horror in her eyes. Seeing this, Griffon seemed to have understood something. He quickly withdrew his hand and said to her, “Don’t be afraid. I won’t hit you again.”
Taya, who had been pretending to be calm, suddenly collapsed. “Stay away from me.” Griffon shook his head gently. “Taya, I can’t stay away from you.” Taya’s face darkened. “I told you, my name is Rosalie, not Taya. How many times do I have to tell you to believe me?” The corners of his eyes, which were as cold as snow, turned red little by little. “Are you… really not her?” “No!” Taya raised her face in an irritated manner. His thick eyelashes trembled slightly, but his eyes were still full of disbelief. He took a step closer to her and forced her to the corner of the wall. Then he raised his hand to touch her cheek.
She thought that he was going to forcibly kiss her again, so she pushed him away, turned around, and was about to run away. But he suddenly hugged her from behind. His tall and large body wrapped tightly around her petite body, and his sturdy chest was pressed against her back. Taya was irritated. She struggled with all her might, but the wolf didn’t let go. His body didn’t move at all, like a wall of iron. She suddenly felt ridiculous. “Sir, do you have a special hobby for mated women?” The man didn’t care about her sarcasm. After restraining her with one hand, he raised his fingers and brushed away the short hair behind her. When he touched the small scar, his thin lips curled up slightly. As expected, she was his Taya. He was not mistaken. However, that scar had taken root in his heart, causing his eyes, which had always been indifferent and distant, to be tainted with endless sin. He touched the scar on the back of her head with trembling fingers and apologized in a low voice, “I’m sorry. That slap caused your death…” She tilted her head slightly to avoid his touch. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” After the wound was healed, there was indeed a scar on the back of her head, but she was unwilling to admit it. He didn’t force her to admit it. He just rubbed the scar with his fingers over and over again.
Every time he rubbed it, his heart would hurt.
The intense pain made him feel as if he had fallen into an abyss. His eyes gradually turned red with his wolf. When he opened his mouth again, his voice was hoarse. “Does it still hurt?” Did it hurt? It hurt. It hurt so much that she fell to the cold floor and couldn’t even ask for help. It hurt so much that she was completely desperate for him, and she didn’t even have the will to live.
It hurt so much because he was unwilling to answer her call even if she wanted to see him before she died. That kind of pain was not something that could be easily relieved by physical pain.
It was only after the pain that she realized how heartless Griffon was to her. But at this moment, such a heartless man was holding her in his arms and asking her if it hurt. Wasn’t that ridiculous? “Five minutes up. Let me go,” she said with a cold voice. How could he bear to let go of the person in his arms? He said, “There are some things I haven’t told you yet.” He buried his chiseled chin in her neck and whispered in her ear, “Taya…” Taya’s face darkened again. “Don’t call me that!” Back then, when he pressed her down on the bed and possessed her desperately, he called her the same name. She mistakenly thought that he was calling her, so she couldn’t help but fall in love with him bit by bit. She was a fool. How could someone like him fall in love with his mistress? In the past, she couldn’t see it clearly, but now that she had completely woken up, she felt that she was very stupid.
Griffon was stunned and looked at Taya’s resistant face. Harper Duke had once said that even until Taya’s death, Taya had thought that he had treated her as a substitute. Did she think that he had called her by someone else’s name? He opened his thin lips and said to her, “Taya, I’ve always been calling you. It’s never been anyone else.” Even now, she didn’t believe it at all. There was no emotion in her calm eyes. Instead, there was even a hint of indifference. Her indifferent expression made his heart ache again. He couldn’t help tightening his grip on her. It was as if she would disappear at any moment if he did not hold her tightly. He had already experienced a separation of death once, and he didn’t want to endure the separation of life anymore. He used all his strength to hug her. “Taya, I was wrong. Can you… give me another chance?”
He didn’t even know how to explain the misunderstanding over the years, nor did he know how to express his longing for her. He just lowered his head and begged her to give him another chance, a chance for him to cherish her again…
Taya’s eyelashes trembled slightly, but her expression was calm. “I’m not Taya…” His body stiffened for a moment. Then, he hooked her chin with his finger, tilted his head, and kissed her. Taya was so angry by his sudden action that her body trembled. She struggled to push him away, but she couldn’t move at all.
Initially, he just wanted to have a taste, but as soon as he touched her, he went crazy. He missed her so much that even if he was so close to her now, he could not feel her existence.
He could only hold her face tightly and kiss her desperately. He didn’t let go of her until her face turned red, but he still hugged her and didn’t let her go. Before Taya could speak, he touched her soft red lips with his fingers and growled, “Look, every time I kiss you, you have the same reaction. Why are you unwilling to admit it?”
Taya was so angry that her face turned from red to blue, and her whole body was trembling. “You are a lunatic!!!” “Yes, I’m crazy!” He suddenly lost control, and his eyes were scarlet, fully his wolf’s. “I’m crazy. That’s why I missed you and couldn’t sleep all night. I love you so much that I’m hopeless. I’ve been crazy since I fell in love with you!” It was simply unreasonable. When she was with him, he was so cold to her, but now he said that he loved her again and again. She struggled with all her might. Her slender hands clasped hard the arms around her. Her nails pierced through the skin. His arm bled, but he was unwilling to let go. He was really crazy to the extreme! “Griffon!” She was so angry that she roared. She tore off Rosalie’s mask and looked at him coldly in Taya’s identity. When Griffon heard her call his name, the corners of his eyes turned even redder. “You finally admit it…” Taya sneered. “So, what if I admit it?” Griffon was stunned for a moment. Then he slowly looked at her. Her expression was cold and emotionless. There was only disdain in her eyes.
Seeing Taya like this, he suddenly didn’t know what to do with her. Just as he was about to say something, Taya turned her head. And his face was reflected in her calm eyes. “You just said that you love me. Is it true? “Yes.” Seeing that she was still willing to communicate with him, Griffon quickly nodded. “Ten years ago, at Arcadia University…” He wanted to tell her that he had fallen but in love with her a long time ago, she interrupted him coldly. “Then let me ask you. Since you love me, why when I asked you to wait until the contract was over before we separated, why were you unwilling?”
