Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon) novel Chapter 181

“You…”
Tara was so angry that her chest heaved up and down.
She stood there, debating whether or not to just throw herself past the guard and through the door. There was no way they would physically harm the Alpha’s mate-to-be, right?
When Preston turned down the hallway, he saw Tara arguing with Griffon’s personal pack guards and hurried over.
“What’s wrong?”
When she saw that it was Preston, Tara’s expression softened slightly.
Tara restrained her temper, pointed at the guard, and said, “Preston, I want to see Griffon, but he won’t let me in.”
Preston indeed looked familiar with the woman, the guard mused.
Could this woman really be Alpha Knight’s mate?
Didn’t that mean that he had offended his Luna just now?
The guard looked at Preston and saw that Preston was looking at him with a grin on his face. He thought to himself, “Well, I’m about to be demoted to a lower position within the pack.”
Unexpectedly, Preston raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder. “Good job. I’ll see that you get a bonus at the end of the year!”
“Preston, why are you—”
Before Tara could finish her words, Preston interrupted her.
“He didn’t let you in because he followed my brother’s orders. That’s literally his job. And instead of understanding the position he’s in, you were rude to him and yelled at him. Is that how a Luna behaves?”
Preston had known Tara’s character since they were children.
She tended to look down on the lowest-level pack members but always pretended to be kind and generous.
He’d had a problem with Tara for a long time. If it weren’t for Griffon, he wouldn’t have bothered to talk to her. She wasn’t a she-wolf who was meant to be a Luna, and he didn’t feel she would make a good one for the Knight pack.
“Preston, why do you have to go against me?”
Tara thought that Preston was here to help her, but it turned out that he was helping an outsider. She was already angry, and now she was being called rude by Preston in front of a lowly pack guard. How embarrassing.
“I’m not going against you. I’m just following the rules. If you feel something is wrong, I’m sure Griffon will gladly hear your complaints…when he’s accepting visitors.”
“Preston!” Tara roared in anger, her rageful wolf coming to the surface. She took her purse and threw it at him.
Preston easily avoided the bag.
When she missed, it incensed Tara even further, and she started to shift.
“Be careful, you might ruin your pretty dress,” Preston mocked.
“Just you wait!” she yelled.
When she became Griffon’s true mate, once she was the Luna of the Knight pack, she would take revenge on Preston. As the Luna, she would be higher ranking than him, and she’d be able to do whatever she wanted.
Tara glared at Preston, then turned and huffed off.
As soon as she left, the guard looked at Preston worriedly.
“She said she’s the Alpha’s mate. Will your involvement in this cause trouble for you with the Alpha?”
“His mate?” Preston sneered. “Griffon hasn’t even gotten engaged to her yet, but she’s already calling herself his mate. Shame on her. And don’t worry. Even if she marries Griffon, she won’t pose any threat to me.”
Griffon didn’t want to marry Tara to begin with. If it weren’t for Eldest Brother…
Thinking of his elder brother, Preston’s expression changed.
He quickly collected himself, patted the guard on the shoulder, and walked toward Griffon’s office.
