Chapter 128


    Chapter 128


    I looked away from Griffon, pushed the door open, and got out of the car. Without stopping, without


    turning around, I walked


    away.


    The tires squealed, and Griffon left the garage at the same breakneck speed he’d driven here.


    The moment the car pulled away, the screeching rubber ringing in my ears, I paused and looked back.


    I wondered how he would react when he discovered I was about


    to d ie.


    He would probably be just as indifferent as ever. How could a person like him pity me?


    A faint sense of loss struck me, making me feel inexplicably


    sad…


    After reviewing the handover procedures, I dro ve thepany car home and nned to return it to the


    office tomorrow.


    After showering, I picked up my phone and looked at it.


    Greyson hadn’t replied to my message or tried call me again.


    I heaved a sigh of relief.


    I went to put my phone done, but I remembered that Griffon had said that Jackson was his future


    brother-inw. I’d been too caught up in my wishful thinking that Griffon might possibly have feelings for


    me or desire me, that the gravity of what he’d said was lost on me right then. I googled Jackson’s


    name.


    It turned out that six months ago, the Sterling pack had expressed a desire to form an alliance with the


    Knight pack.


    Jackson’s chosen mate was Griffon’s cousin, Preston’s younger sister. Her name was Edith Knight. I


    knew Griffon thought of Preston like a brother, so it would make sense that he would think of Edith as


    his sister, hence the brother-inw reference.


    I searched for information on Edith. She was currently studying in Italy and staying with one of the


    neutral European packs. After graduation, she would return and get engaged to Jackson. There was


    already talk about what a huge event their mating ceremony would be and what a union between two


    powerful packs like this might mean.


    I had blocked all news containing the name “Jackson Sterling”. I hadn’t wanted to see or hear anything


    regarding him. Thanks to that, I waspletely oblivious to his mating ns.


    Now that I had seen it, surprisingly, I didn’t feel very emotional. Ss and I could never go back to the


    past. No matter who he married, it had nothing to do with me.


    I put down my phone and took my heart pills. After turning the rm up to the maximum volume, I


    dared to fall asleep.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
