Harper was so angry that she laughed.
“You think she’s playing a trick on you? Are you out of your mind? Have you forgotten how you, your mate-to-be, and your cousin beat her? She was in the late stages of heart failure, and you inflicted a massive head wound on her. Did you think she would survive that?”
Harper almost roared and shifted into her wolf, the rage and grief and disbelief was flowing through her so much. In the end, all she could do was choke down her sobs.
When she thought of how Taya had been beaten up before she left the world, she couldn’t handle the despair she felt.
The angry and resentful cries on the other end of the line made Griffon’s chest tighten uncomfortably.
He wanted to control his emotions and his body’s reactions to them, but right now it was not as easy as it usually was.
The more he tried to control his heart and body’s responses, the more flustered he became. He tried to ignore the panic that was spreading, but his wolf seemed unable to regulate anything right now.
Griffon held on to the glass with one hand to steady himself, trying to hold his wolf back so he wouldn’t give into his primal instincts in this moment, but all he could think of was the scene of Taya lying on the ground in the bathroom at the mall.
Thinking of her lying alone in the bathroom in despair, he couldn’t help but feel…too much.
The sense of guilt that swiftly invaded his heart wrapped tightly around him, making it hard for him to breathe.
It was impossible. Griffon had read Taya’s examination report. Except for a heart attack, there was nothing wrong with her. How could she suddenly have heart failure?
