Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

I glanced at the photo.

Jackson was standing next to the bed and looking at me. It didn't look like a big deal to me at all. I was fully clothed, and so was he.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"I'm sure you're able to have it dealt with," I said with a slight shrug.

For an Alpha of his power and wealth, I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult for him to have something like this removed from whatever social media sites it was on. And even any blogs or gossip sites it might have reached.

"I've already dealt with it. No one else will spread it."

"That's good."

I turned to leave, but Jackson stopped me again.

"Let me take you to dinner. Consider it my apology for Eric's disrespect."

I shook my head. "No, thank you. I need to go to the office."

"I've already taken care of that. When I saw that you weren't awake this morning, I called Ms. Thorin and let her know you wouldn't be in today."

I was stunned for a moment. I didn't know whether to be angry at his overreach and pleasantly surprised by his thoughtfulness. Lila must have messaged before Jackson had called her.

Narrowing my eyes, I stared at him. He'd been very clear five years ago that he didn't want to see me again. After all, what could be more clear than trying to kill someone?

So why was he helping me now?

He'd now asked more than once for me to have dinner with him. And if he was still anything like the man I remembered from years ago, he wouldn't give up until I said yes. His stubborn streak was a mile wide -which probably made him a good Alpha in some ways, when it came to standing up for his pack.

Letting out a sigh, I nodded.

At this point, I was too curious to not go.

As soon as we exited the elevator in the lobby, we bumped into Griffon.

He wore a black suit, which matched the look on his face.

The moment he saw us, his dark glower turned into indifference.

When my eyes met his, I felt the blood drain out of my face.

I immediately lowered my head and looked at the ground, panicked. I dared not raise my head to look at him again.

Subconsciously, I hid behind Jackson's body, which was much larger than mine.

Please, please, please don't let either of them say anything, I prayed to the goddess.

Jackson stretched out his hand. "Alpha Knight."
