“Truly, Alpha Sterling, I’m okay. I don’t need anything. No need for you to worry about me,” Taya said.
Jackson tried to persuade her. Ile didn’t know what time everything would end and when they would
have a chance to cat again. “You have to eat something. You need your energy to take care of me this
afternoon.”
Taya sighed through the phone. “Something light.”
“How about a sd? Would you prefer chicken or salmon on it? What about some bread with it?”
“A sd with chicken is plenty for me. Thank you.”
“Okay. I’ll be right back.”
Jackson hung up the phone with a smile, happy she’d given in and decided to eat something. He
turned to grab food for them, and a snide voice came from behind him.
“Not only are you doing the work of your Beta and presenting your own bid, and you have to take care
of your girlfriend on top of it?”
Jackson turned around and saw Griffon. He was casually leaning against a pir, his arms crossed
over hisrge chest, one of his eyebrows raised. The judgment practically rolled off him, on top of the
Alpha power and strength that was always there, always oppressive.
Although Jackson’s physical build and appearance was on par with Griffon’s, something about Griffon
made Jackson feel a bit small, though he would never admit that to anyone. Alphas didn’t admit any
type of weakness, ever. Jackson looked at Griffon and said lightly, “Alpha Knight, you must be joking.
Why would I bring my girlfriend to the bidding?” Griffon raised his eyebrow a bit higher. “If Ms. Palmer
isn’t your girlfriend, what is she?”

Jackson didn’t like Griffon’s arro gant tone, but he didn’t dare reply with anything other than politeness.
It wouldn’t do to risk pissi ng him off and jeopardizing the Sterling pack’s chances at winning the bid. “I
don’t actually have anything to do with her, but…”
“But what?”
Griffon’s tone was a bit defensive, and it made Jackson curious.
“You seem very concerned about Ms. Palmer and me. Why is
that?”
