Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

"This morning, as soon as Damian and I left the house, the pack's security guards stopped us. They said a group of men in black came to our house last night and stood at the door, guarding it. About half an hour later, they left. The security guards thought it was a little strange, but they figured it might be our relatives or something, since it was our mating night. He didn't see a need to mention it until this morning. "But something felt off about it after I found out what happened, so I called you, but you didn't answer. Then I remembered the strange people who came to the mating ceremony yesterday, and I was worried that something might have happened to you, so I rushed over here."C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

No wonder Harper and Damian hadn't left yet. I probably would have delayed as well, though I felt terrible this was all because of me.

"I'm so sorry, Harper. Yesterday, I had some trouble. There was a very important contract with Beta Starke, but I kept delaying giving it to him. So he got angry with me and that's why he interrupted your mating ceremony. I finally got it and handed it over to him last night, but I think he sent people to your house for a while to make sure I did what I was supposed to. It's all been resolved, and he won't cause any trouble again."

This was way more than I wanted to tell her, but I had to give her at least part of the truth, something to keep her from worrying too much. If she knew about Greyson... Yikes.

"I felt like Beta Starke was threatening you yesterday, but I couldn't think of anything he would have been threatening you over."

After saying that, Harper narrowed her eyebrows and looked me up and down.

"Taya...he didn't do anything bad to you, did he?"

"No." I shook my head.

But when Harper looked at my neck, her expression froze.
