Chapter 128
I looked away from Griffon, pushed the door open, and got out of the car. Without stopping, without turning around, I walked
away.
The tires squealed, and Griffon left the garage at the same breakneck speed he’d driven here.
The moment the car pulled away, the screeching rubber ringing in my ears, I paused and looked back.
I wondered how he would react when he discovered I was about
to d ie.
A faint sense of loss struck me, making me feel inexplicably
sad...
After reviewing the handover procedures, I dro ve the company car home and planned to return it to the office tomorrow.
After showering, I picked up my phone and looked at it.
Greyson hadn’t replied to my message or tried call me again.
I heaved a sigh of relief.
I went to put my phone done, but I remembered that Griffon had said that Jackson was his future brother-in-law. I’d been too
caught up in my wishful thinking that Griffon might possibly have feelings for me or desire me, that the gravity of what he’d said
was lost on me right then. I googled Jackson’s name.
It turned out that six months ago, the Sterling pack had expressed a desire to form an alliance with the Knight pack.
Jackson’s chosen mate was Griffon’s cousin, Preston’s younger sister. Her name was Edith Knight. I knew Griffon thought of
Preston like a brother, so it would make sense that he would think of Edith as his sister, hence the brother-in-law reference.
I searched for information on Edith. She was currently studying in Italy and staying with one of the neutral European packs. After
graduation, she would return and get engaged to Jackson. There was already talk about what a huge event their mating
ceremony would be and what a union between two powerful packs like this might mean.
I had blocked all news containing the name “Jackson Sterling”. I hadn’t wanted to see or hear anything regarding him. Thanks to
that, I was completely oblivious to his mating plans.
Now that I had seen it, surprisingly, I didn’t feel very emotional. Silas and I could never go back to the past. No matter who he
married, it had nothing to do with me.
I put down my phone and took my heart pills. After turning the
alarm up to the maximum volume, I dared to fall asleep.
