Reckoning In The Shadows

Book:The Billionaire Alpha Contract Lover Published:2025-2-23

Griffon was leaning over the sink, almost vomiting bile. The bodyguard waiting next to him was very sympathetic and kept handing him wet wipes. After he finished vomiting, he washed his face, took the bodyguard’s wet wipes, wiped his hands, and stared at himself in the mirror, slightly curling his lips. His she-wolf was becoming more and more mischievous. It seemed that he needed to “punish” her well, otherwise she wouldn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth, and dare to play tricks on him. Griffon wanted to go back and settle accounts with Taya, but Zack’s phone suddenly rang. He raised his cold eyes and glanced at the bodyguard, “Go out, guard outside, don’t let anyone in.”The bodyguard nodded respectfully, “Yes.”After they left, Griffon unlocked his phone, “Did you find out?”
Zack nodded, “Yes, sir, we found out. Tara didn’t
die and went to Erebus with Mr. Ben.”Griffon’s expression suddenly turned cold, “Zack, this is the most derelict thing you have done since following me.”Zack felt extremely guilty: “I’m sorry, sir, I didn’t expect Mr. Ben to betray you, nor did I expect him to fail to deal with Tara.”Thinking that Griffon

of Tara, Mr. Ben also knew who Greyson was, and he broke out in a cold sweat.”Sir, they all know your identity. If
they tell the people in Erebus who you are, you’re done for. What should we do?”
Zack was so anxious that his eyes turned red, wishing he could go back in time and slap himself hard. Why didn’t he do it himself and make sure everything was done properly? He was so irresponsible! Dealing with Tara was a long time ago, but no one from Erebus has come to him yet… This meant that Tara did not reveal his identity to anyone, so there shouldn’t be too much danger for now. However, Griffon couldn’t understand why these two people didn’t reveal their trump card. After thinking for a few seconds, he instructed Zack, “Don’t startle the snake, I will go to Erebus in six months to investigate in person.”
Hearing that he was going back to the dark world, Zack turned pale with fear. “Alpha, last time you almost lost your life in there, why are you going back?”Griffon needed to find out who was manipulating the Erebus and expose the person behind the scenes. Otherwise, he and S would not be
able to protect themselves. But Griffon didn’t tell Zack about this. He only gave a cold order, “Find out the truth about Johnny looking for Rosalie as soon as possible.”Compared to his own life and death, he was more worried about Taya. Only when she was safe and sound could he calm down. Feeling guilty and worried, Zack nodded and said, “Okay, Alpha. You take care of yourself. I’ll go and try to get some information from Gigi.”Griffon made a sound of agreement and hung up the phone. As he took a step forward, he felt a wave of nausea.
“Dam n it.”
He emptied his stomach and washed his lips before returning to find Taya with a pale face. Neil and a few others adapted better than him. After vomiting, they sat together and made noise. He intended to take her away directly, but when he saw her smiling happily, he hesitated for a moment. When he was around, her friends were hesitant to speak. When he was gone, the atmosphere seemed more
harmonious. Even… too cheerful.
Griffon frowned. Was he really that unpopular? He refused to believe it and walked in. When his tall
and straight figure appeared in the restaurant, the noisy voices quieted down, and the smiles on their faces froze. Hmm… he really wasn’t very popular. He took out his phone and pretended to answer a call before turning around and walking out. As soon as he left, Neil laughed and banged the table, and even Andre visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Griffon gritted his teeth, held his phone, leaned against the car door, and stared quietly inside. Through the gla*s, she glanced at the man standing under the street lamp, who didn’t come in to disturb them. She slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and as she looked at him, the love in her eyes grew stronger and stronger. “Harper, doesn’t he look a little silly?” Following her gaze, Harper looked over and found that Griffon was waiting outside, also laughing. “He’s a little bit silly.” Taya put down her cup and said to Harper and Stella, “I’ll go find him first, and we’ll go back to Arcadia together tomorrow.” Harper’s hand holding the chopsticks stiffened. “Taya, you guys go back tomorrow. I still have other things to do.”
Since she had come to the capital, she naturally wanted to go see Silas. Taya, who had just stood up, sat back down again. After hesitating for a few seconds, she asked, “Are you…going to see Silas?” Seeing that she no longer felt as guilty as before when mentioning Silas, Harper nodded. “Since we’re in the capital, we might as well go see him.” Taya clenched her fist, her eyes revealing some complex thoughts. “Did you find the orthopedic specialist last time to help him with his leg? What did the
Harper said, “He just came back from a trip to the Mediterranean and hasn’t seen the specialist yet. I’ll tell you the situation after the specialist examines his leg.”
Mediterranean
Taya remembered that she had told Silas before, when they were together, that they didn’t need to go to a particularly nice place for their honeymoon, the Mediterranean would do.
He never mated her, and they never went to the Mediterranean together.
Now he went there alone, and she knew what he was commemorating, but…
She raised her gentle eyes and looked at the man leaning on the car door, waiting for her foolishly.
Griffon saw her looking at him again, slightly pursed his thin lips, and mouthed, “Dear, when are you coming home?”
Taya 100
away and said to Harper, “Okay, let
me know if he can be cured or not. I’ll go out and accompany Griffon first.”
Harper waved her hand, “Don’t worry, you and your husband can wander around the capital. Stella and I will take Grace back later.”
Taya nodded slightly, said to the others, “Enjoy your meal, I’m going out for a bit,” and walked straight
out…
Griffon saw her coming out, didn’t let her run to him, but quickly stepped forward and walked towards her. She stood still and waited for him to
come over.
As she watched the man walking towards her, she suddenly realized that he had always been the one pursuing her, while she had never taken the initiative with Griffon.
Just as Griffon was about to reach her, Taya suddenly took a step towards him.
“Honey, let’s go see the night view of the Wolverly capital city.”He lowered his eyelashes and glanced at her.”No need for the night view. Come with me and let’s settle the bill for the bean drink.”
Taya’s heart sk ipped a beat, but she smiled and reached out to take his arm.
“Honey…”
“Even if you call out to the go d, it won’t change anything.”
Hmm, why did that sentence sound so familiar?
She was stunned, and before she knew it, a hand had wrapped around her waist. In the next moment, she was lifted off the ground and thrown into the
car.
“Go back to the villa.”
“Why? Why are we going to do there?”
“Settle the bill.”
bill?”
“Seven times a night.”
5/5
When it came to these things, Griffon never showed any mercy. The next day, Taya’s legs were weak, and Griffon had to carry her onto the plane.
Grace held her doll and asked Stella with a tilted head, “Is Taya sick? Why can’t she even walk?”
Stella was gentle and kind, and she patted Grace’s head. “It’s an adult matter, and pups shouldn’t ask too many questions. Sometimes, the answer may be a bad answer.”
