Chapter 328
He clenched the letter and looked out at the horizon.
As the light of life faded away, he followed the afterglow into the night.
At the moment when the sky wholly darkened, the whole world was quiet.
He stood in the darkness by Taya’s gravestone, searching for any light.
But he had pushed the light away a long time ago…
Jackson watched quietly from the side, something inside of him—and his wolf’s intuition-telling him to
let things unfold naturally right now.
He’d been right all along-Griffon had feelings for Taya, but he had never shown them.

When he saw it was from Taya, something that she’d written specifically for Griffon before she died, he
pretended to be calm, but inside…inside he was dying of a broken heart.
It turned out that Taya had really fallen in love with Griffon.
Even though the last thing she had done in this life was to mate Jackson, she had loved Griffon.
Taya had left something behind for Griffon but not for him.
Griffon snarled at Jackson and snatched the letter back. It was
all he had left of her.
Both Alphas stood by the gravestone, hackles raised, claws and fangs out, growling low at each other.
It was as if they were both stuck somehow, frozen in place with grief and by their animosity toward the
other.
Andre and the pack guards stayed back, not wanting to get in the middle of whatever was happening. It
was best to let Alphas sort things out on their own.
Surprisingly, Griffon was the first to back down. He knelt on one knee in front of the grave and raised
his hand to gently touch her photo. The more he looked at her, the more he missed her. His longing for
her was deep in his bones, as if it were a living, breathing entity inside of him as much as his wolf was.
“I’m sorry…” he whispered to her picture.
He had been afraid his family would discover Taya’s existence, that she would end up like Cici. Once
Shelly had become involved, threatening to involve her mother…he’d felt he had no choice but to turn
his back on Taya and slap her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was funny how these things worked…he was the most powerful Alpha in Arcadia and beyond, yet
when it came to his mother and his family, he was utterly useless. Those familial bonds and the way
your family could hurt you, ruin your life, was no match for his Alpha strength.
And it didn’t help that since his mother had given birth to him, she was practically immune to any of
Griffon’s strength or power. His “Alpha-ness” was nothing in the face of the woman who’d given him
life.
So he’d hurt Taya in the name of “protection.”
They were right. People like him had no right to fall in love.
He deserved to suffer all the pain of losing everything.
