Chapter 153

Before leaving, Griffon issued a warning.

“Just because Jackson broke off the mating agreement doesn’t mean that the Sterling pack will allow

him to do so. He’ll be my brother–in–law sooner or later. Don’t even think about getting him to fight

against the whole pack for you.”

After saying that, Griffon turned around and walked to the door.

Once he was gone and the door was closed behind him, I heaved a deep sigh of relief.

Every time I faced him, my body filled with an indescribable

pressure.

I wasn’t sure if I was afraid of him or if I was fearful that I wouldn’t be able to control my feelings for

him.

Fortunately, my impulse had been to lie to him regarding any desire I had for him.

Otherwise, who knew how he would have reacted. It could have been anything from disgust to laughter.

I collected myself and walked to the sink, turning on the water but only staring down at the stream

before turning it off and walking out of the bathroom.

As soon as I stepped out, Jackson was there, pushing Lena away and walking over to me.

“Ms. Palmer, let’s go back.”

I nodded and shot a glance at Lena. Her eyes were narrowed with warning, her wolf flashing for a

second. Likely, she was afraid I would say something to Jackson about her slapping

1. me.

Which was quite funny when you stopped to think about it. She had the gall to slap me, but she didn’t

want anyone to know about it.

How utterly ridiculous.

I desperately wanted to slap Lena right now. Or tell Jackson, or say something to her. Anything to burn

off everything I was feeling toward her, but this was the Wilton pack’s territory.

Not only was I a guest in her pack home, I was a human.

That was already two strikes against me, and the last thing I needed was a third.

Plus, I didn’t want to be the center of attention, nor did I want to be hated by the Wilton pack after the

fight, or have it cause problems for Jackson. Anything that might come back on me negatively would

likely affect my deal with Tara.

I suppressed my anger and decided to find a chance to beat

her next time.

“Yes, let’s go.” I walked down the stairs, and Jackson politely took my hand to assist me down them.

When we reached the bottom, he looked over at me as if to confirm that I’d made it down the stairs

okay and that it was safe for him to let go of my hand.

But rather than let go, his face darkened and his hand tightened around mine.

“Who did this to you?” he growled out, and I could hear his wolf rising to the surface.

He raised his other hand to touch my slightly swollen face, and something that looked like pain crossed

over his face.

I was slightly stunned when I saw the look on Jackson’s face. I wouldn’t have expected him to feel

sorry for me.

I hesitated, not saying anything.

There was no way he was going to stick up for me against his good friend’s sister. Stand up for a

human over a wolf.

***

Taya’s silence made Lena heave a sigh of relief.

Jackson had always been good at observing people’s

expressions and body language. As soon as he saw Lena’s

sigh, he immediately understood what had happened–was

happening.

No wonder Lena wouldn’t let him go when he went to look for

Taya, why she had clung to him and come along with him.

She was the one who had hit his woman.
