Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

His word was mumbled against my skin. "Why?"

His rough tone dripped with accusation, and his movements were still.

I knew what he was asking-why I'd been with Jackson. What I didn't know was why he cared. He'd never liked me; all I'd ever been was a substitute until his true mate came back, until he could be with his Luna.

Perhaps it was because he was drunk that he couldn't help touching me.

I couldn't figure it out and didn't want to try to figure it out anymore.

"Alpha Knight, we aren't together anymore. Isn't it normal for me to move on?"

He blamed me, but it was apparent that he didn't want me. Why should I always keep my body for him alone?

When he heard this, his body became stiffer, and he pulled away slightly. There was a low rumble in his chest, and I feared his wolf.

I automatically distanced myself from him, pressing back against the seat as much as I could. I dared not lift my eyes to look up at him, fearing that his wolf would take it as a challenge.

A wolf shifter could be ruthless when you displeased them. I'd learned that the hard way with Silas.

I was afraid of being beaten, so I subconsciously raised my hands to my chest to protect myself.

Fortunately and surprisingly-all he did was hold me.

Only then did my tense body slowly start to relax...

I could feel his grip on me tightening, as if he wanted to pull me into his body even closer.

I was more than confused. Griffon hated me so much...but he was clutching onto me so tightly. "Griffon..."

I said his name softly, and his body stiffened again. Then, he hugged me even tighter.

Perhaps he did care about me a little... But he had Tara. His mate, his Luna.

Gently, I pushed him away and said with a smile, "It's not worth it for you to do this."

I could be the mistress of a single man, but I would never be the mistress of someone who had a love.

And from the moment I was defiled by Greyson, Griffon and I were destined to have no chance together.
