Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

The receptionist politely shook her head. "I'm sorry, I don't know."

Even if she knew who it was, she wouldn't dare to share information regarding a VIP. I knew better than to ask, but I was desperate. There wasn't anything else for me here right now, and I couldn't ask any more questions, so I thanked the woman and left the hotel. I grabbed my heart pills from my bag, but the bottle was empty. Sigh. Now I had to make a trip to the hospital. Joy. My favorite thing.

The attending doctor asked about my physical condition, as usual. When he asked about my sleeping habits and I told him, he frowned.

"Ms. Palmer, I'd like to admit you. I'm worried about the state of your heart, and I'd like to run some tests and see if we can't find a new treatment option for you."

I refused. Staying in the hospital was just waiting for death, and I wasn't going to waste the last moments of my life in some cold, sterile room. Besides, what else were they going to do for me? It wasn't like they were going to magically find some cure for my heart failure.

Thankfully, the doctor didn't try to persuade me further. So far, this was one of the only benefits to NOT having a wolf-the doctors didn't prioritize humans, so if I declined treatment, they didn't push. He just reminded me to rest as much as my body felt like it needed, and to not overdo it.

After leaving the hospital with my medicine refill, I went to the police station to have them close out the case and cease any investigating they might be doing.

Typically, they might push back, worried that someone's abuser was forcing them to get the police to stop. But, again with the human benefits. I was low priority; they would be glad to rid themselves of the potential workload.

Plus, I'd willingly accepted the invitation last night. That...changed things.

I didn't have any idea who he was other than "not Griffon" and "not Roman", and given how secretive and locked down he was, I doubted anyone would be able to even trace anything to him. There just...wasn't a point.

So, I went home and went to bed.
