Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

I lacked love. I lacked passion so much that if someone treated me with the tiniest bit of kindness, I would hand over my heart without hesitation. I craved a partner, a mate the way I saw people around me have.

Not people...shifters. Shifters who would never choose a human as their mate.

Although the two men I'd loved had abandoned me, I didn't regret my love for them.

I had tried my best to love hard, but no one had ever loved me.

Maybe in my next life, the goddess would reward me for what I'd gone through in this one.

That idea was more than a little ridiculous.

When a person was dead, they were dead.

I put away my thoughts and looked up at Silas-er, Jackson Sterling.

Right now, I needed to concentrate on why I was here in front of him.

"Alpha Sterling, I've always treated business associates of the Midwest Packs Corporation professionally. As for what happened five years ago, that's all in the past. Nothing to worry about."

Regardless of whether he was truly suffering from amnesia or pretending not to recognize me, it didn't matter anymore.

Time had taken away all the things that had happened, and it should not have been mentioned again.

I turned away from Jackson and walked toward the parking garage.

***

Looking at her petite frame as she walked away, Jackson could see that Taya had changed. Significantly.

It appeared that the young girl who had knelt at his feet those years ago was gone. She'd died and this new woman stood in her place.

Now, Taya was no longer glamorous, and she was indifferent.

Jackson pressed his hand against his chest. It felt like it was empty, as if he had forgotten something. But he couldn't recall anything.
