Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon) novel Chapter 193

I clenched my fists so tightly that my nails dug into my palms. It wasn’t until I managed to draw blood that I calmed down.
Griffon and I had ended our relationship. No matter whom he married, it had nothing to do with me. I had no right to interfere.
I’d been his mistress, not his partner. And even if he had ever even remotely felt anything for me, he could never make a human his Luna. My destiny was to be the temporary lover, not the forever mate.
I unclenched my fists and kept my face buried in Jackson’s shoulder, feeling only resignation.
The only person I could rely on was Silas, the man who had once promised that he would love me forever…
Without another word, Jackson carried me to the car, fastened my seatbelt, went to the driver’s seat, and drove off.
After we drove out off the main road, the other car caught up with us.
As it brushed past the Rolls-Royce, I saw the man in the passenger seat.
Griffon wore a pair of sunglasses, making it difficult to see the expression in his eyes.
However, as the car passed by, he turned his head and seemed to glance at me…but that could have just been my wishful thinking.
My gaze followed the car.
It was not until I saw it stop in front of a villa that I withdrew my gloomy gaze.
After Griffon proposed to Tara, they would have their mating ceremony soon.
Would I even live to see their mating?
I sighed, feeling stupid. What did their mating ceremony have to do with me?
Jackson frowned slightly when he saw my bitter smile and heard me sigh.
“What’s wrong?”

Taya shook her head and did not reply, but her eyes were sad.
Jackson thought she was concerned about what Preston said, so he quickly comforted her.
“Don’t take his words to heart. He thought I canceled the mating arrangement with his sister and made him lose face, so he’s targeted me several times. It has nothing to do with you.”
Taya nodded.
Jackson saw the despair in her eyes, and his frown deepened. “You look very sad. Did something happen?”
Taya smiled weakly, then said, “Nothing at all. I’m just not feeling well.”
Jackson believed this excuse a little. “Are you feeling unwell in your legs?”
She couldn’t even walk. There must be something wrong with her legs.
But he didn’t feel anything unusual when he’d carried her just now.
Taya nodded. “They’re a little swollen. I’m sure I was just standing and walking around too much yesterday, and my veins aren’t happy about it.”
Jackson knew a little about human conditions. Not much, of course, since they didn’t affect his wolf shifter body. But he knew enough to know that although someone’s legs might swell, they usually improved after a period of time. It shouldn’t affect Taya’s ability to walk.
He did not dare to ask any more questions. She’d gotten angry when he asked questions about her condition in the villa. It was better not to annoy her.
But Jackson was still concerned about her health.
“I’ll ask Eric to treat you. He’s a genius, and he can cure all sorts of ailments.”
