Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

He was wearing a royal-blue shirt and a coat of the same color. Even from a distance, he exuded immense power. Everyone who walked by him gave him a wide berth, as if they were afraid of getting too close.

As he approached, I could see his face. The tenderness of youth had faded away, leaving a chiseled jaw and strong angles.

It had been so long, but when I saw him again-with the new name "Jackson Sterling"-I only felt calmness. Not even a single stutter of my heart.

I lifted a hand to wave at the group. "This way!"

When the man saw the woman waving at them, he was slightly taken aback.

His trip to Arcadia was primarily to attend the bidding for the Weston City project.

The last person he expected to receive him was Taya.

He was stunned for a few seconds before he returned to normal and led his men toward her. Even his wolf was thrown off kilter by seeing her. He was a more than a foot taller than her when he stood before her, looking down at her.

Taya's response was business-like. "Alpha Sterling, please come with me." Then, she turned around and left, as if expecting them to follow her. Jackson frowned at her indifference toward him. Did she not like him? The other part of him was angered that a human would treat him this way.

He hesitated for a moment before walking up to her. "Ms. Palmer, you're not still angry with me, are you?"

Hearing this, Taya stopped and turned her head to look at him. "What right do I have to be angry with you, Alpha Sterling?"

Jackson felt a little helpless, but he did his best to try to smooth things over. "I do apologize for our last meeting. With my memory loss, I truly don't remember you."

I looked up at the face before me, exactly like Silas's. My calm heart was suddenly torn apart.

I wanted to ask him if he had truly lost his memory or if he was pretending not to know me.

Five years ago, after he woke up, he learned that I'd sold myself to save him.

He'd been unhinged, blaming me for betraying him. He'd thrown me on the bed and kissed me wildly, as if he was trying to reclaim me, then he'd strangled me. Then, he suddenly lost his memory when the Sterling pack said he was their lost Alpha.

If he had lost his memory, why did he say that when I went to the Sterling pack to beg him not to abandon me?

I closed my eyes. My heart ached when I thought of the two hard kicks he had given me.

At that time, I didn't believe Silas had lost his memory.

No, it was because I wasn't a virgin anymore.

And wolves didn't want tainted women for mates.
