The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227
Griffon’s face morphed into something between rage
and frustration.
“I said I would cure you, and you’ll do as I say. Regardless of your human status, I am the Alpha in Arcadia, and my word goes.”
He pulled on the quilt to cover her, picked up report again, and sat next to her.

His thick, long eyelashes drooped down, covering his big, dark beautiful eyes, making it difficult for people to discern what emotions were hidden beneath them.

But there was a faint hint of anxiety lurking between his furrowed brows, so slight that it would be hard to perceive if one didn’t look carefully.
Griffon had always been good at controlling how he presented himself to others. Most Alphas were pros at hiding their emotions, but Griffon was next level.

Taya didn’t have the energy to try to figure out what he was thinking so she lay on her side.
They rarely got along so quietly. It seemed that in the
past five years, he had never been with her in this
way.
From time to time, Taya would wonder what kind of position she occupied in his heart.
If she was just a contract lover, a substitute, then why did he still come to her after he ended the contract?
This time, he even snatched her away from Jackson in front of so many people.
Could it be that his wolf was upset to see her with someone else? Was it that he couldn’t stand the thought of her being with another Alpha after him, since Alphas were so possessive of ANYTHING that they had ever viewed as belonging to them?
Or…maybe, in his heart, he liked her a little.

Taya didn’t dare to even think the word “love.” An Alpha wolf like Griffon would never fall in love with
someone like her. And if they did…they would never admit it or give into it. The Elders would never allow it
to happen.
While she was lost in her thoughts, a phone vibrating pierced the silence in the room.
Griffon took out his phone and looked at the number on the screen before answering the call.
“Alpha Knight.” Andre’s voice came from the other end. “The surveillance footage is done. No one else will know about Ms. Palmer’s presence at the hotel. Also, after you left with her yesterday, Jackson passed out. I had to take him to the hospital.”
“Well, then” Griffon responded flatly. “Is he awake?”
“He just woke up and asked to see Ms. Pal-”
“No,” Griffon interrupted, a growl lacing his tone.

Andre was in a dilemma. “Sir, I’m not sure what to do.
After all, he’s the Alpha of the Sterling Pack. Now that
they have been looking for him, I can’t keep sending
people to lock him up…”
After thinking for a few seconds, Griffon finally said,
“Let him go.”
Then, he ended the call and looked over at Taya, who was sizing him up.
Taya had already guessed whom he was referring to, so she didn’t ask.
It would be fine if he were willing to let go of Jackson. When she recovered a little, she would go to Jackson
to thank him.
Griffon stared at the IV drip for a long time. When the bag was empty, he pulled out the IV line for her.
Taya glanced at the three bags of medicine next to her. Were all three of those for her?

But Griffon pulled out the needle. Did he not want
her to get an IV drip?

While she was full of doubts, Griffon pulled the quilt
back and picked her up from the bed.
Taya looked at his profile in a daze and asked,
“Where are you taking me?”
“Away,” he said gruffly as he carried her.
He took her to his private pack manor, located deep in the Knight pack lands.
His portion covered an area of hundreds of acres, and there was a large garden. From a distance, it looked like a sea of flowers.
The drive up to the house took minutes, and Taya was in awe of how massive the estate was. The villa decoration was in French style, simple, bright, and very elegant, yet somehow it seemed comfortable and livable.

When Griffon put Taya on the soft bed, she realized
he had brought her home.
