Chapter 31


    Chapter 31


    With a wry smile, I said, “It seems like I misunderstood. However…” I paused. “I asked you before if I


    could have a boyfriend, and you said it was up to me. Since I have a boyfriend, it’s normal for me and


    him to have se x, don’t you think?”

    Griffon was stunned, and his face became even darker, his eyes glowing even brighter with his wolf.


    Before I could stop my hand, before I could think about what I was doing, I reached up and ran my


    fingers over the furrows between his eyebrows as if trying to smooth them out. Trying to erase the


    anger on his face.


    This was the man I had loved for five years. How could I bear to hurt him like this?


    But he didn’t love me-not even a tiny bit of “like”. Why couldn’t I let go? Why did I care if I managed to


    hurt him one tiny sliver of what he’d made me feel?


    He grabbed my wrist.

    “Don’t touch me!” he growled. “You’re fil thy now.”


    I knew he would react like this, but hearing him say I was d irty again made me ache.


    belonged to him, it was tarnished, d irty, fil thy…


    unfit for the all-powerful Alpha Knight.


    Gritting my teeth, I suppressed my emotions and looked at the hand that was tightly gripping my wrist.


    “If you h ate me this much, if I’m so filt hy, why don’t you let go of me?” I cocked my head to the side,


    once again unable to bottle in my hopeful thoughts. “Or…do you not want to let go?”


    Everything before this felt like an act I was putting on. And now… Now, I was the most authentic


    version of myself. The woman who was desperate to receive SOMETHING from him.


    Griffon seemed to have seen through. The killing intent in his eyes faded away and was reced by


    indifference.


    Without any hesitation, he pushed me away, snarling, “Get out!”


    I fell out of the car as Griffon opened the door that I was leaning against. My tailbone banged against


    the sidewalk as Inded in a sprawled heap, dressed only in my underwear and bra, my hair and


    makeup a mess.


    A secondter, my bad and the tatters of my clothes were tossed out,nding beside me.


    But I didn’t care. I tucked my tangled hair behind my ear, picked up the torn clothes, and put them on


    again.


    I grabbed my purse and stood to walk down the sidewalk,

    mustering all the bravery andposure I could, praying no one had seen.


    Just as I took my first step away from the parked Town Car, Griffon stopped me.


    “Taya,” he growled low.

    I turned around, a smile I didn’t feel stered on my face. “What? Can you not bear to part with me?


    Don’t want to watch me walk away?”


    Without even looking at me, keeping his focus straight ahead, Griffon threw a crumpled-up check onto


    the sidewalk at my feet.


    “I’ve fu c ked you for five years, and I pay for what I use.”
