    Chapter 172


    Without batting an eyelid, Griffon said, “I just want to see how the Sterling Alpha is going to deal with


    Roman’s leftovers. Aren’t you afraid of being infected?”


    Jackson’s face darkened. “I thought you were more of a gentleman than to nder a woman.”


    Griffon pushed off the pir and straightened his back. He


    walked up to Jackson and stared him in the eye. “And you’re the


    judge of what is ‘gentlemanly”?”


    Jackson didn’t reply. Instead, he looked at Griffon with a scrutinizing gaze.


    “Alpha Knight, you seem to have been targeting me.”


    Griffon had singled him out at the bidding, here in the dining room, and even the first time they met.


    Jackson had never seen Griffon before, let alone done anything to offend him. Why was the Knight


    Alpha so focused on him? Perhaps…did he think Jackson was a threat?


    Something shed in Griffon’s eyes, but it was gone too quickly for Jackson to ce it.


    “I was just afraid that you would be fooled.”


    ” Griffon didn’t reply, and his expression remained neutral. Jackson knew he had asked the right


    question when Griffon didn’t have a response. Just what was going on here? Was Griffon’s issue with


    Jackson…or with Taya? “I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood. I’ve known Ms. Palmer for many years, and I


    know her well. She has no reason to lie to me.”

    He emphasized thest sentence as if he was talking to himself.


    In the past, when she knelt at the door of the Sterling pack manor and begged him toe out and


    meet her, he’d been annoyed at her and embarrassed for her.


    Then, after he’d discovered information about her that made him think she was dishonest, he’d


    completely ignored her and pretended she didn’t exist.


    But after these few days of spending time with her, he didn’t think Taya was the person he’d thought


    she was five years ago.


    Jackson’s words made a trace of anger appear on Griffon’s face, and his eyes darkened this his wolf’s,


    his brows furrowing.


    “You’ve known each other for many years?”


    “I’ve known her since I was a child.”
