Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

The orphanage director told Jackson that Taya had wanted to climb up the social ladder since she was a child. When she hadn't gotten her wolf at puberty, she wanted it even more. Likely, she wanted a guaranteed protector.

When Taya saw that he had become the new Alpha of the Sterling pack. She tried to take advantage of his amnesia to lie to him, to convince him that they were in love and he had promised to mate her. Everyone Jackson had talked to that he and Taya were not familiar with each other at all and had no past.

All of this was just a lie Taya made up.

Jackson even went to the hospital to verify it with others. Aside from Harper, who insisted he was unfaithful, everyone's statements were consistent with what the orphanage director had told him. Harper being the only one to say any different made sense. Harper and Taya were best friends-considered each other sisters, even-and had spent their whole lives together in the orphanage. Of course, Harper would lie for her friend to ensure Taya was accepted by a pack and have a mate to protect her.

Jackson's doubt gradually dissipated, but...

He looked back at Taya, sleeping soundly on the bed, and grimaced again. "Why do I always feel that something must have happened between her and me? Why would I be so upset to hear that she had a heart issue...?"

Camille glanced at him and frowned. "She's probably doing this to attract your attention again. She didn't succeed before, and now that she has a chance to get close to you again, she can try again." Camille paused, then reminded him, "Alpha Sterling, you should be careful. Women are conniving and brilliant."All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Jackson remembered that five years ago, to help him regain his memory, Taya had deliberately pretended to be sick in front of him. Camille's words seemed more credible.

If Taya wasn't pretending, why would she have stopped Eric from examining her?

Jackson's temples throbbed, and it felt like his wolf was pacing around inside of him, angry and restless. Think about Taya gave him a headache, and he was desperate to shift and run as fast as he could, until he was completely drained of all thoughts, emotions, and energy.

It had been a long time since he had felt this way.

He didn't want to think about any of this anymore and make his headache worse, and with everything going on with the Weston City project he didn't have time to indulge in weakness. He waved a hand and said to Camille, "Go get me another room."
