NovelEnglishI looked away from Griffon, pushed the door open, and got out of the car. Without stopping, without turning around, I walked away. The tires squealed, and Griffon left the garage at the sbreakneck speed he'd driven here.
The moment the car pulled away, the screeching rubber ringing in my ears, I paused and looked back.
I wondered how he would react when he discovered I was about to die.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe would probably be just as indifferent as ever. How could a person like him pity me? A faint sense of loss struck me, makingfeel inexplicably sad...
After reviewing the handover procedures, I drove the company car hand planned to return it to the office tomorrow.
After showering, I picked up my phone and looked at it.
Greyson hadn't replied to my message or tried callagain.
I heaved a sigh of relief.
I went to put my phone done, but I remembered that Griffon had said that Jackson was his future brother-in-law. I'd been too caught up in my wishful thinking that Griffon might possibly have feelings foror desire me, that the gravity of what he'd said was lost onright then.
I googled Jackson's name.
It turned out that six months ago, the Sterling pack had expressed a desire to form an alliance with the Knight pack.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJackson's chosen mate was Griffon's cousin, Preston's younger sister. Her nwas Edith Knight. I knew Griffon thought of Preston like a brother, so it would make sense that he would think of Edith as his sister, hence the brother-in-law reference.
I searched for information on Edith. She was currently studying in Italy and staying with one of the neutral European packs. After graduation, she would return and get engaged to Jackson. There was already talk about what a huge event their mating ceremony would be and what a union between two powerful packs like this might mean.
I had blocked all news containing the n"Jackson Sterling". I hadn't wanted to see or hear anything regarding him. Thanks to that, I was completely oblivious to his mating plans.
Now that I had seen it, surprisingly, I didn't feel very emotional. Silas and I to the past. No could never go back to the matter who he married, it had nothing to do with me.
I put down my phone and took my heart pills. After turning the alarm up to the maximum volume, I dared to fall asleep.
