Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

The oxygen tank was small, but it was enough to help me.

Slowly, the pain in my heart subsided with every breath I took, and I started to come around.

I opened my eyes and saw Jackson standing by the bed I was in, a frown on his face. I was confused and a bit stunned.

Was it Jackson who had saved me? And where was I?

Had the person who'd once tried to kill me just saved me?

I pulled the oxygen mask away from my face and struggled to get up from the bed.

Jackson pressed me back down and said, "Don't move."

I pushed his hand away. "I'm fine. Thank you for your help, Alpha Sterling."

Determined to get away from this dangerous shifter as quickly as possible, I forced myself to sit up and get out of the massive bed, holding onto the bedside table for support. After taking a couple of seconds to get used to being upright, I stood.

Immediately, dizziness overtook me again.

I swayed, trying to focus on the door across the hotel room. Staring at a fixed point usually helped.

Not this time.

Wave after wave of dizziness overtook me, and my knees buckled.

Jackson caught me by the arm and gently but forcefully pushed me back onto the bed.

"Don't push yourself too hard. You need to rest."

Taya wasn't Jackson's biggest fan, and that was putting it lightly. After he caught her and kept her from further injury, he took a step back to give her space.

He'd felt compelled to rush to her aid when he'd seen what happened, acting strictly on his wolf's impulse.

Right now, couldn't leave her alone. Eric should be on his way, should be here any minute. At the very least, he wanted to Eric to check Taya over before leaving or letting her leave. For some reason, the scene right now felt familiar to him, but he didn't know why.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Nothing in his investigation gave an indication that they'd been in this type of situation before. And his wolf wasn't a fan of the déjà vu he was feeling.
