Chapter 105
The Sterling pack had always been professional. Jackson didn’t have to worry about their strength-and
weakness? Not an issue —so he simply nodded his agreement.
His concerns with MPC handling Knight pack projects couldn’t be resolved just by Tara saying things
were fine. Jackson would have to see how everything was actually handled…not how they SAID they
were going to handle it.
Seeing that his Alpha had relented, Beta Smith spoke. “Ms. Thorin, yes, the Sterling pack has worked
to remove the Midwest Packs Corporation from handling Knight pack business. I’ve spoken to my team
regarding this, and they have ceased their efforts.”
Of course, Tara didn’t believe what he said, but she wouldn’t embarrass the Sterling pack Beta in front
of everyone here. Instead, she said, “In that case, let’s turn hostility into friendship. We can cooperate
well and help each other in the future.”
After that, Tara picked up her ss and toasted Alpha Sterling and Beta Smith. After she finished it,
she smiled, then stood. “I’ll see you all at the bidding.”
The main reason why Tara dared to end the meal prematurely
Chapter 105
was that Griffon was impatient.

Although the Sterling pack and the Knight pack were equally influential in the country, the Knight pack
was one of the leading packs in the world. They had a long, remarkable bloodline and could trace their
roots farther back than any other packs. It was even said that the Knight pack might have been THE
original wolf shifter pack.
And just as she thought would happen, instead of rising when she did and being on their way, they all
looked to Griffon.
They would not dare to get up before him.
Griffon nodded, stood, then grabbed Tara’s hand and walked out of the room with her. Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
Everyone was stunned when they saw that the Alpha rumored to be indifferent to women took the
initiative to hold Tara’s hand.
The rtionship between them seemed more intimate than they had imagined, instead of just being for
show and power.
They didn’t know if the Weston City project would be managed fairly by the Midwest Packs Corporation
because of this rtionship. It was the duty of MPC to make sure that all of the different packs inter-
pack business was handled to the letter of the packw, regardless of how they personally felt about
packs.
Not all of the packs got along, but not all of the packs could handle everything on their own and needed
to rely on each other. That’s where the MPC came in.

Plus, packw stated that if there was something that a pack could not do themselves and needed
outside assistance for, they were required to use another pack if another pack could perform that task.
Human services andpanies were ast resort.
If multiple packs were able to perform a service, a bidding date was set for packs to bid on the project,
with the MPC overseeing the bid awarding after reviewing all of the contracts to see whose bid was not
just the lowest, but the fairest and most reasonable.
This was what the Sterling pack was most worried about. Otherwise, they would not have taken
extreme measures to target the Midwest Packs Corporation and their involvement in Knight pack
projects.
Griffon taking Tara’s hand…they weren’t sure how to view that.
For a multitude of reasons.

When the door opened, I immediately stood up.
Griffon held Tara’s hand and walked out of the room.
Seeing their fingers sped together, I blinked, then blinked again.
I wanted to pretend nothing had happened and look away.

But when I lowered my eyes to avert them, I couldn’t help but look at Griffon’srge hand wrapped
around Tara’s tiny one.
It was like a beacon drawing my gaze to it.
Griffon held her so tightly.
So different than when I bumped into him and he was disgusted by it.
I’d fantasized countless times that Griffon would hold my hand like this one day, in public no less.
He couldn’t hold my hand in public, though. This was the difference between me and Tara.
When the two of them passed by me, Tara stopped. “Taya, remember to take Alpha Sterling back to the
hotel.”
I forced myself to nod politely. “Okay.”
Only then did Tara hold onto Griffon’s arm with a smile and walk towards the elevator.
They turned their backs on me, and only then did I dare to look at them.
The two were a perfect match, and I was just a passing leaf in the wind.
I smiled weakly. This bit of pain was nothing.

I would let go of Griffon, just as I had forgotten about Ss.

Jackson Sterling was leaving the private room, and I looked over at him.
“Alpha Sterling, I’ll take you to your hotel. You’ll be staying at a different one than this.”
Thankfully, he didn’t push back, simply followed me out to the
car.
Once I had arrived and Jackson and his Beta were out of the car, I started to pull away. I wanted to get
away from Jackson as soon as possible.
My heart had other ns. My chest convulsed in excruciating pain.
And my foot was still on the elerator.
My body was twisting in pain, and my foot pressed down on the gas pedal.
The car shot forward and hit the pir at the hotel entrance.
