Chapter 156
Jackson looked at the backs of the Knights as they walked away. He was surprised that Griffon would come forward to help them
just now.
On second thought, perhaps Alpha Knight also looked down on she–wolves like Lena who played tricks when they thought
others wouldn’t know.
Since Griffon happened to see them, he would naturally stand up to uphold justice as any Alpha would, no matter if it was a
human or not. Taya wasn’t just any human. She worked for the MPC and for many packs, and she’d been raised as any other
wolf was.
Jackson refused to overthink it.
He looked at Lena again.
“I’ll only repeat myself once. Apologize!”
Jackson infused the word “apologize” with the commanding
tone of his Alpha wolf.
Henry hurriedly asked Lena what had happened to make his good friend angry.
Lena did not dare to argue anymore. She could only cry and say that she was jealous of Taya, so she slapped her in anger.
Henry’s thoughts of helping his sister were immediately dispelled. Typically, Lena was exasperating, but now, he was incensed.
“Apologize!”
After that, he added, “After apologizing to Alpha Sterling and his companion, you will come with me to receive your punishment
from Father.”
Old Alpha Wilton was in his element, greeting the elders in the banquet hall. He didn’t know what had happened outside. He was
too absorbed in his own interests.
He didn’t know that the Knight pack cousins had left. He only thought they had gone out to meet the other younger shifters.
If he learned that Griffon had been angered by his daughter and left, he would slap Lena twice to teach her a lesson.
Given that her brother had more power than her, Lena could only apologize to Taya, no matter how reluctant she was.
Jackson wasn’t impressed with Lena’s forced apology, and his
wolf wanted more.
He still wanted to say something, but Taya stopped him. “Alpha Sterling, let’s go.”
***
Sure, Lena had slapped me. But the sting of my slap wouldn’t last for nearly as long as the damage to Lena’s reputation. Of
course, Lena was unhappy, and her apology wasn’t sincere.
I didn’t feel the need to argue with her anymore. All I wanted was for her to be taught a lesson and remember it.
She might have slapped me today, but if she behaved like this in the future and slapped Jackson’s promised mate out of
jealousy, the Wilton pack wouldn’t be able to recover.
