Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon) novel Chapter 86

On Tara’s first day at Midwest Packs Corporation, Griffon held her hand, and when she accidentally sat on his lap in the office, he didn’t say anything.
The night the wolfsbane had made her sick, he carried her into the emergency room.
But since then, he’d been distant, like a block of ice. She knew he was avoiding her, punishing her for her past sins.
“Griffon, I’m sorry. I know I hurt you five years ago when I refused your proposal. I didn’t think I was good enough for you, ready to be the Luna you deserve. I went abroad to study, to learn how to be the she-wolf you need. Please don’t be angry with me anymore, okay? Let me love you.”
Griffon’s face softened a little. Just for a second.
Then he turned to look at Tara and said flippantly, “I’ve changed. I prefer physical contact to be on my terms.”
Tara deflated a bit but refused to admit defeat. Griffon had always been difficult, ever since he was a child. He’d eventually finish punishing her. Since she had chosen him, she would give him more time to get used to the fact that she wouldn’t let him down again.

When I returned to my desk, my face was more than a little pale.
Of all the moments for Griffon and Tara to be that elevator, it just HAD to be that moment. If I’d known there was a chance I’d see them, I’d have taken the stairs.
Though, given my heart, I’d likely have died on those stairs.
But that would be better than facing Griffon.
I had promised him he would never see me again, but it hadn’t taken long to break that promise.
When I saw Griffon again, it felt like a century had passed since I’d seen him.
I took a deep breath and turned on the computer. Just as I was about to sort out the handover documents, Elder Thorin called me.
I was stunned. He rarely wanted to see me. And when he did, he would inform Lila and have her send me up. Why would he call me himself?
