Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

"Bring the contract to my villa tonight."

I knew what would happen at his villa. After getting the contract, he would force me to sleep with him now that he had what he wanted.

Or at least THOUGHT he had what he wanted.

After he moved his hand away from my waist, I let out a sigh of relief.

I gritted my teeth and said, "I will send an address where we can meet later."

There was no way in hell I was going to his villa on pack lands. Once I entered, I would never be able to get out, and as a human, no one would come to help me.

I had a contract in hand now, and as far as Roman knew, it was real. If he wanted it, he had to follow my arrangements.

Roman frowned slightly and took a menacing step closer to me. "What kind of game are you playing?"

I shook my head. "No game." I shrugged, then added, "I just don't want to sleep with you. I want to be safe, and I won't be safe if I go onto your pack lands."

I made sure I spoke loud enough in front of all the guests, which made Roman a little embarrassed. After all, he was Beta Starke...with a human making demands of him.

***

How dare she.

Roman almost let his wolf's fury at being talked to that way take over, but after considering his options, he decided to let it go.

It didn't matter where she wanted to meet-he would make her submit to him.

And as for what anyone here thought?

Meh. This wasn't a powerful pack family, and now that he had a deal with the Knight pack, once the news of him securing the Westen City project for the Starke pack, that's all that would matter.

Roman talked his wolf down from the ledge and curled his fingers into his palms to keep people from seeing his wolf rising. It wouldn't do for a Beta to seem as though he couldn't control himself.

He looked up and glanced at the newly mated wolves walking towards them, then smiled warmly. He lowered his voice to a whisper and threatened Taya, "You better bring the contract like a good little girl. Or my friends here will turn their dream mating ritual this evening into a nightmare."

After that, he gently tapped the tip of Taya's nose, pasting his "I'm not dangerous" smile on his face.

Taya swallowed and nodded obediently.

"Don't worry, Beta Starke. I'll be there."

With her guarantee, Roman took his pack bodyguards and left.
