    Chapter 212


    The banquet hall was veryrge and luxuriously decorated. It was lit with warm yellow lights and yed


    soothing music.


    The wolves who came to the banquet wore high-end dresses


    and held goblets of wineced with wolfsbane, whispering to


    each other.


    Everyone from the Sterling pack had good manners, from


    senior pack members and down. When they saw Taya, they didn’t make sarcastic remarks but politely


    greeted her.


    S


    Taya felt a little ufortable. She was used to being one of the only humans in the room, if not the


    only one, but typically shifters tended to be dismissive of her. That people were being polite to her


    threw her off.


    Jackson seemed to have read her mind. He whispered in her


    ear, “You’ve been busy with this project with me recently, and


    you’ve done a good job. It’s expected for you to attend the celebration banquet as my female


    companion, and my pack


    knows if they aren’t polite to my guests, there will be hel l to pay for embarrassing me.”


    After hearing what he said, Taya tilted slightly to create space between their bodies. She didn’t want


    anyone to think that


    this was more than her attending as someone who’d worked on the project. As seen through Jackson’s


    eyes, her small gesture was

    noticeable, somewhat of an insult.


    Jackson didn’t show that he thought anything of it. After


    leading her to the main table and sitting down, he called the


    waiter over and ordered a hot tea for her.


    “Drink this first. It’ll warm you up. I know they keep it cooler in here because shifters are always hotter.”


    He picked up a spoon and stirred the tea to cool it down before handing it over to Taya.


    His actions were the same as Harper’s, which had been their


    habit since they were children.


    They knew she was afraid of being scalded after badly


    burning her mouth once, so they always helped her stir and cool things down before giving them to her.


    Especially Ss. No matter what the situation was, he would


    let her eat first.


    Ss feared she would stop taking medicine, so he worked while studying and gave her all the money


    he earned.


    Taya alwaysughed at him for being so stupid, but he’d gently touched her head and said, “Taya,


    you’re mine. I can’t let you starve, right?”.


    He had treated her so well that she had been spoiled. She had always been willful and domineering,


    throwing tantrums over small matters.


    If she hadn’t lost her temper that day, Ss wouldn’t have been hit by a car to save her, and they


    wouldn’t have ended up like this.
