When Preston saw that the woman on the bed was Taya, he was shocked.
Looks like he'd been wrong about her.
As soon as Roman fell from grace, Taya had hurried to attach herself to someone else with power. She worked fast.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPreston hated being wrong about people. And the fact that she was human somehow made it worse. How was this nothing of a human woman able to wrap men around her finger so quickly? After thinking about it for a while, he texted the picture to Griffon.
Someone needed to teach Taya a lesson, but Preston didn't feel like it was his place to do so. After all, Griffon was the one who'd been involved with her, so Preston would leave it to him.
*** As Griffon returned hand saw the photo, darkness filled him and his wolf started to rise to the surface, itching to get out and...punish.
"When did you see this?" he texted to Preston.
Preston replied, "Just now. One of the guys sent it to me." Griffon didn't respond.
His fingers tightened around his phone, his claws growing until they punctured the glass screen.

After walking out of the presidential suite, he indifferently asked the assistant waiting at the door, "Do I really not have a past with her?" Camille, his assistant, replied calmly, "Yes, didn't old Alpha Sterling take you to the orphanage a few years ago to verify it with the director?" After Jackson chfrom the hospital, Taya cto see him.
He had just lost his memory then, so everything was strange and unknown. Talking about the past was painful for him because he couldn't remember anything. It was like an open wound. But Taya didn't care how much she hurt him. She cto bother him every day. He couldn't drive her away, no matter how hard he tried.
She went on and on, explaining herself to him, telling him about how she had to sell her body to save him. Telling him they were supposed to be F mated...even though she could never be a Luna. She swore up and down that everything she said was true, and she'd cried impassioned tears that affected his wolf.
He had no choice but to ask the Sterling pack leaders to take him back to the orphanage for an investigation.
