Enemies Of Fate

Book:The Billionaire Alpha Contract Lover Published:2024-12-16

After Griffon dealt with Emelyn, he took Taya’s hand and was about to board the helicopter, but a lazy voice came from behind: “Hey, I saved your she-wolf, and you don’t even say ‘thank you’ before leaving. That’s really ungrateful, isn’t it?” Griffon turned around, his cold, snow-like eyes darkening when he saw the man with one hand i his pocket and a cigarette in his mouth. “Herb Carmine!” Herb raised his chin, his elegant thin lips curling up slightly with a hint of sarcasm. “You actually remember me, that’s quite impressive.” Griffon grabbed Taya’s hand and instinctively used a bit of force. “Did he save you?” Taya nodded. “Yes, he saved me. What’s wrong?” Griffon pursed his lips, wanting to say something but ultimately shook his head. He moved his gaze away from Taya and looked at Herb. “Consider me owing you a favor.” Herb took the cigarette out of his mouth, threw it on the ground, and stamped it out with his foot before smiling at Griffon. He didn’t say anything, his blue-black eyes flickering with a disdainful gaze that swept over Taya before he turned and left. Watching Herb’s back, Taya couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Carmine, thank you for today…” Herb didn’t even turn his head, just raised his hand and waved casually, as if he didn’t need her thanks. Griffon saw Taya’s expression when she looked at Herb, she looked at him softly unconsciously, His eyelashes trembled slightly. “He’s the heir of the Carmine pack. If you see him in the future, stay away from him. As for the favor he did for you, I’ll repay it.” Taya raised her head and frowned, asking the man beside her, “Why?” Griffon seemed to be caught in some unpleasant memories, and his eyes also turned cold. “The Knight pack and the Carmine pack have a deep-seated hatred.” It wasn’t just a business competition, but a private vendetta that used all means to kill each other. The Knight pack and the Carmine pack had a feud, an eternal feud. Taya understood and nodded, “Okay, I’ll listen to you. Now you either get on the plane or the ambulance…” If the bleeding didn’t stop soon, he wouldn’t be able to bear it. She looks worried so Griffon obediently took her onto the plane. That night, Taya stayed by Griffon’ side, waiting for the doctors to stop the bleeding, stitch up the wound, and change the bandages before she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. As the sky began to lighten, Taya thought they might have to postpone the mating ceremony, so she suggested, “Why don’t we delay it for a day?” The man who was gently wiping her hair with a towel was resolute, “No, the mating ceremony must be held today!” and turned to look at him, “But your injury…” Griffon didn’t care at all and said, “No matter how serious the injury, the mating ceremony is more important.” Taya wanted to say something else, but Griffon picked up the hair dryer and helped her dry her hair. Then, without giving her a chance to refuse, he drove her back to the Knight villa by himself. “At eleven o’clock, I’ll bring the Knight pack to pick up the bride.” The original time was ten o’clock, but he was afraid she was too tired, so he changed the time. After rubbing Taya’s hair, Griffon waved to Andre, “Send a hundred bodyguards to guard here and don’t let anyone get close.” Andre respectfully replied and quickly notified the bodyguards with his phone. Griffon led Taya and personally handed her over to Harper before leaving after repeatedly reminding her. Harper and Stella were relieved to see Taya return safely. “Taya, do you know that Stella and I were almost scared to death?” “And me!” Grace got off Mandy’s lap, took short steps and ran to Taya, opening her chubby arms for a hug. Taya bent down to pick up Grace and apologized to Harper and Stella, “I’m sorry, I didn’t expect something like this to happen.” Harper and Stella had wanted to go find Taya, but Andre had told them to stay at home and wait for news so as not to be a hindrance. The two of them thought about it and realized they didn’t have much ability to help, and they didn’t want to cause any trouble. They chatted in the living room for a while, and Harper urged Taya to go upstairs and take a nap until the makeup and styling team arrived. After a night without sleeping, Taya was indeed tired. She put down Grace and went back to her room, falling asleep quickly on the bed. At exactly nine o’clock, Harper woke Taya up and told her that the makeup and styling team had arrived and were waiting in the villa next door. Taya rubbed her bleary eyes and nodded, saying she would get up right away. She threw on a coat and headed over to the neighboring villa, where she was greeted by over forty people carrying makeup cases. They all bowed respectfully to her and addressed her as “Mrs. Knight.” Taya smiled warmly and greeted them back before leading them inside. She went to take a shower while the makeup and styling team set up. When she came out, the stylists and makeup artists had her sit down at the vanity. The wardrobe stylist opened the closet and asked, “Mrs. Knight, which mating ceremony dress would you like to wear?” There were two mating ceremony dresses in the closet, one that Griffon had previously bought at a sky-high price and another that he had recently purchased. Taya had told Griffon that he had bought a mating ceremony dress before, and to show her respect to him, she insisted to get a new one. Looking through the mirror, Taya saw the two dresses and her gaze fell on the diamond-studded one. She suddenly remembered a fashion designer who had told her that the expensive dress was more suitable for her. At the time, she didn’t understand the meaning behind the comment, but now she realized that everything was predetermined. She pushed aside her thoughts and lifted her slender fingers, pointing to the diamond-studded dress. “That one, it’s more suitable for me.” She wanted to wear the first mating ceremony dress Griffon had ever bought for her, to look beautiful and happy, and to mate him.
