NovelEnglish"Ms. Palmer. I see you're awake." Jackson quickly walked over to Taya and looked her up and down.
He'd returned to the suite earlier today to check on her, but she was sound asleep and he didn't want to wake her.
Instead, he'd quietly left the room-even though he was pretty sure that a herd of wild horses couldn't wake her. He'd gone into the the Sterling pack's Arcadia offices for a few meetings and then went back to check on her. To find that she was still sleeping.

He'd be able to command her to have dinner with him.
"There's no need, Alpha Sterling, We m can talk right here "The content is on Kright novelenglish.net!
Jackson pinched the bridge of his nose and let out a low, frustrated growl before he took out his phone. He showed Taya the photo Eric had taken.
"Eric...the doctor who clast night. He took a picture of us and sent it to a few people Unfortunately, етх someone in the group took it upon themselves to share it with others, and now it's everywhere on social media."
