Jackson was starting to feel a little suspicious that what he had investigated was wrong, but...he really couldn't remember her.
However, when he'd seen her slumped against the steering wheel last night, when he'd looked at her lying in his bed, so frail and weak... His wolf had pawed at him, and his heart had cracked.

"No, I'm lying to you." Taya denied it quickly and looked away.
Something that felt a lot like disappointment settled over him. "Why did you lie?" "I want to marry into a rich and powerful family." *** I shrugged and met Jackson's gaze again.
He'd asked the question to test if I remembered my warning.

He was testing me.
