Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon) novel Chapter 8

chapter8
Shit.

I had offered three months because I would no longer be in this world by then. And if Roman still wanted me…well, he could go and sleep with my ashes.

But three days? That was hard to accept.

As I was about to reply, Roman let go of me. I swallowed the words back.

In any case, I could at least get away tonight.

“Alright, babe.” Roman bent down and kissed my cheek. “I’ll leave you alone tonight, then. See you in three days.”

I touched my cheek, resisting the urge to wipe it off, feeling disgusted.

I struggled to keep an obedient face as I nodded.

Roman seemed content and finally walked toward the door.

“By the way…” He stopped half-way and turned to give me a meaningful, pointed look. “Harper is your friend, right?”

My mask of obedience cracked for a moment.

“What about her?”

“Nothing. Stay home and wait for me, okay? Don’t go anywhere.” Roman chuckled.

He didn’t say anything threatening, but I knew exactly what he meant.

If I dared to run away, he would go after Harper.

Powerlessness once again crept up my spine, making me let go of my clenched fists.

“Leave her out of this. I will stay here for you.”

Roman blew a kiss. “That’s my good girl!”

Disgusting!

I slammed the door shut and locked it, then ran into the bathroom.

Getting in the bathtub, I picked up the loofah and scrubbed hard at the places Roman had kissed and touched.

Even when my skin turned red and bruised, it still felt like it wasn’t enough.

I washed and washed, until I was too tired to continue, and I finally started to calm down.

If I didn’t do what he wanted, Harper would be in danger. I had to find a way to handle this situation, or goddess only knew what he would do to her.

I quickly wrapped myself in a bath towel and returned to the bedroom. I picked up my phone, wanting to call the regional pack police.

But as I thought of Roman’s power and influence…I gritted my teeth and thought better of it.
