Chapter 111
The orphanage director told Jackson that Taya had wanted to climb up the social ladder since she was a child. When she hadn’t
gotten her wolf at puberty, she wanted it even more. Likely, she wanted a guaranteed protector.
When Taya saw that he had become the new Alpha of the Sterling pack. She tried to take advantage of his amnesia to lie to him,
to convince him that they were in love and he had promised to mate her.

emotions, and energy.
It had been a long time since he had felt this way.
He didn’t want to think about any of this anymore and make his headache worse, and with everything going on with the Weston
