Chapter 30
Chapter 30 The Alpha stiffened, his eyes flashing with anger and malice. After staring at me, wordless, Griffon quickly pulled out some wet wipes and wiped his fingers. Seeing his actions, I couldn’t help sneering. “Beta Starke told you that he had slept with me. Why bother checking, Alpha?” I kept my face schooled, without a trace of annoyance or embarrassment reaching it, but rather with a hint of worldly charm. My indifferent attitude and repeated provocations made the usually composed Griffon lose his temper. It’d been a while since I’d seen this side of him. He threw away the wet tissue and pinched my chin. Hard. I was going to bruise. My human flesh, the lack of a wolf to help me heal… My body was no match for any wolf’s strength, let alone an Alpha as powerful as him. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
There was no way he didn’t see that I was in pain, especially since I was wincing, but Griffon ignored it and lowered his head until his nose was almost touching mine. “Haven’t I told you that no one is allowed to touch anything I’ve used?” Chapter 30 2/3 His eyes were filled with killing intent, and he squeezed my chin with increasing force-almost as if he wanted to dislocate my jaw or break it in half. It was the first time that I had seen him THIS angry, so I was slightly stunned. I didn’t mean to provoke him like this, but he humiliated me again and again. I had to fight back. But… He didn’t care about me. Why was he so angry? I endured the pain, raised my eyes, summoned all my courage, and asked, “Why do you care if I slept with someone else? Have you fallen in love with me?” I had been with him for five years and had never seen him lose his composure to this level. He must have some feelings for me, right?
I stared at Griffon without blinking, trying to find a trace of love in his eyes. My heart sank as I saw only disdain. “Don’t you know what I care about?” Any hope I had was shattered. Of course, I knew what he cared about, but I was just unwilling to give up. Chapter 30 3/3 I had always known he would never love me like I loved him, but I’d prayed to the goddess for just a sliver of something back. However, Griffon was different from everyone else. He was the most unfeeling, distant person I had ever met. I’d thought he was completely incapable of loving anyone…until Tara Thorin showed up.
