Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

"Why?"

After I spoke, Jackson's calm face instantly turned sinister, his eyes changing color to the dark orange of his wolf's.

"You're still asking me why," he sneered. "Why was I lying unconscious in the hospital while you were fucking another man? After all that's happened, and you still want to be with me? You're ridiculous." My breath caught in my throat.

With those words, I knew he hadn't lost his memory at all. He truly had only pretended it so he could abandon me.

Goddess, I was so stupid to think that the decent Jackson Sterling in front of me was still my Silas, who had promised to love me for a lifetime.

I regretted everything-going to beg for Jackson, kneeling before him...

I remembered that second kick he'd given me.

He'd used all of his immense strength to plant his booted foot in my chest.

He knew that I'd had surgery on my heart. He knew it was weak, that it shouldn't be able to take a blow to the chest.

After spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, I'd finally understood that he wanted me to die...

There I was, trembling in a pool of blood, but he'd only looked at me with a snarl on his mouth.

"Taya, I don't love you anymore, and I don't want to be with you anymore, so don't bother me! And remember this clearly: I'm now the Alpha of the Sterling pack, not Silas Johnson from the orphanage. If you or Harper Duke dare to expose my past identity or use it to threaten the Sterling pack, I will make you regret it."

I had seen Griffon's indifference, suffered through his moods, but Silas was much...much more than him.

Even if Griffon had only regarded me as a substitute, at least he had never lied to me.

Silas kept saying he loved me so much that he would give up everything for me. He said he didn't care that my wolf had never come, he would protect me. Said that he had wolf enough for the both of us. But what did I get in return?

Nothing. He had even abandoned Harper, his older sister.

If it weren't for Silas's ruthlessness, I never would have agreed to become Griffon's lover.

I had wanted to take revenge on Silas by doing so. He was looking down on me for selling myself. So I would do more of what he didn't like.

But it changed. I failed to control my emotions. And then my physical reaction to Griffon made me gradually forget about Silas. I'd found it hard to believe that me, who had been hurt so badly by Silas, could fall in love with another man.

Griffon had brought me out of the haze I'd been living in with his occasional warmth...

I thought that it might have something to do with my orphan background.
