Chapter 34


    Chapter 34


    I covered my eyes with a hand and vaguely saw a man walking toward me with an umbre.


    When the umbre covered my head, I was stunned for a moment, slowly raising my eyes to look at


    him…


    It was like looking at Griffon from five years ago…


    It was raining that day, too. I’d knelt at the nightclub door and begged passers-by to buy me for a night.


    Many men came in and out, touching, teasing, andughing at me, but not a single one was willing to


    pay for me.


    And then a mountain of a man, who I could immediately tell was a wolf shifter by the gleam in his eyes


    slowly approached. When he covered the top of my head with the umbre in his hand to shield me


    from the storm, it was like I was looking at a god.


    In the dim glow of the streetlights, I’d crawled to his feet, grabbed the hem of his pants, and begged


    him to buy me for a night.


    The man looked down at me with no contempt or ridicule in his eyes. He just asked coldly, “Are you


    clean?”


    I’d blushed and nodded, and then the man stretched out hisrge, strong hand to me.

    When I ced my hand in his broad palm, I’d sealed my fate. I would be tied to him for the rest of my


    life, and I hadn’t a clue.


    “Get in the car. I’ll take you home.”


    Preston opened the car’s back door, and his warm voice washed over me, mixed with the rain.


    Only then did Ie to my senses.


    It wasn’t that night five years ago, and it wasn’t Alpha Knight standing in front of me. It was Preston,


    Griffon’s cousin.


    But Griffon and I were over. And even when we had been… whatever…I’d never been around hisContent is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    family. He would probably be enraged if I were associated with his family in any way, spent any time


    with Preston.


    The catch? My phone was dead, so I couldn’t request an Uber. And taxis in this town were the worst.


    They never stopped, or they already had a passenger. Any of the nearby stores or businesses were


    well past being closed, so I was left with walking home in the pouring rain, continue failing to get a


    taxi…or let Preston drive me.


    Goddess, I wished I had a wolf so I would have a fourth option to shift and run home.


    I hesitated for a moment and got in his car.


    Water dripped everywhere off me, and the seat was soaked in

    All I had in my purse were a couple of tissues, and I grabbed them and tried to wipe up the seat. It was


    no use, though. They only made more of a mess, leaving wh ite bits behind as they disintegrated under


    my vigorous wiping.


    Embarrassment flooded me, and my face burned. “I’m so sorry. I got everything all wet and di rty.”
