Chapter 159
Through the rearview mirror, Preston looked at the distant–looking Griffon.
After hesitating momentarily, Preston plucked up the courage to ask, “Griffon, when are you going to get mated to Tara?”
Preston always felt that everything would be settled after Griffon and Tara had their mating ceremony and Tara became the
Knight pack’s Luna. Then, he would no longer have to worry about anything.
Griffon seemed to smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “You also
want me to mate her?”
But he had no choice.
After all, Alpha’s rarely had a choice regarding who they
needed to take as their Luna. And Griffon mating an elder’s daughter was the best choice for their pack to remain strong and
powerful.
Just as Preston considered what to say, Griffon suddenly said,
“I’ll mate her.”
His voice was very nonchalant, as if there were no feelings in
him. He was like a machine, so cold that he was lifeless.
Preston sighed deeply in his heart. Griffon seemed to have never been happy...

Jackson drove Taya home.
Before exiting the car, Jackson handed her an ointment and said, “It’ll help you reduce the swelling. It’s something
we wolves use when we need a little extra help when we’re
injured.”
After thanking him, Taya declined politely. “I’ll just use ice cubes when I get inside.”
After saying that, Taya left. Jackson looked at her petite figure as she walked away, a lonely expression on his face again.
He could feel that Taya was on her guard against him, and the hint of hostility in her eyes puzzled him.
While Jackson was deep in thought, Camille reminded him, “Alpha Sterling, Ms. Palmer is playing hard to get. Please don’t be
fooled.”
Jackson hadn’t been in a relationship since he lost his memory. He didn’t know anything about women’s behavior–especially
human woman.
“No, there’s no game. She doesn’t like me and doesn’t want to
be anywhere near me.”
