SWNOVELS Chapter capitulo 36
Chapter 36
I was jolted awake by someone pushing me, and I struggled to open my eyes. All I could see were dark shadows, making it difficult to determine where I was.
I knew my illness had worsened due to being drenched in the rain, but thankfully my thoughts were still clear, and I remembered that I was in Preston’s car.
Quickly, I sat up straight, thanked Preston again, then pushed open the door and exited the car.
“Ms. Palmer…”
Preston stopped me, took an umbrella from the back seat, and handed it to me. “It’s still raining. Take it.”
The logo on the umbrella was designer, and there was no way I was taking something so expensive from him. Especially since I didn’t know if I would have the chance to return it. I softly declined, “Thank you, but it’s only a few steps away. I’ll run.”
Preston seemed stunned for a second. He seemed to have read my mind, and he threw the umbrella at me. “You don’t have to return it.”
I hated being in this position. I hated taking things from people, and I really hated that it was Griffon’s cousin who was being so nice to me. But as a human of lower standing, the last thing I

could afford to do was offend a man from such a powerful pack.
“May I please have your contact information? I’ll return this to you tomorrow.”
Preston looked at me with a raised brow and a bit of a frown on his handsome face. “I don’t like it when people show up uninvited.”
But…all I wanted to do was return his umbrella. I didn’t want to visit him, and I wasn’t look for anything more. He ll, I didn’t even have to see him in order to return the da mn thing. “I didn’t
mean-”
“Ms. Palmer.”
Preston interrupted me abruptly, his eyes full of warning and glowing a bit with his wolf. “It does not matter what you mean. I brought you home out of kindness. If you have any other ideas, put them out of your head immediately.”
His words made me uncomfortable. I didn’t say anything more. Just put down the umbrella and turned to leave.
After two steps in the rain, I felt dissatisfied and turned back to look at Preston.
“Mr. Knight, thank you for bringing me home, but I require nothing more from you. The last thing I want to do is take something that belongs to you without returning it, and I don’t want to be indebted to you.”

Looking at the petite figure as she ran into her neighborhood, Preston was a bit stunned.
In his experience, women like Taya would do everything they could to seduce rich powerful wolves from dominant packs such as the Knight pack. And if Taya wasn’t like that, she wouldn’t have started dating Roman immediately after things ended with Griffon.
Coger el paraguas habría sido una oportunidad perfecta para que ella encontrara la manera de verlo con el pretexto de devolverlo.
Tal vez Preston había entendido mal a la pequeña niña humana…
