Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

A week after Taya died, Jackson returned to Arcadia.

He went directly to see Harper and handed a thum 'rive toAll content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

her when she answered the door.

"This is everything I have. I've transferred it all to you...money, real estate, the whole enchilada.!"

speechless. She stood there staring at him blankly, her mouth

hanging open.

Jackson smiled calmly. "I promised Taya I would take good care of you. And I don't want to come back here; I need to focus on being the Sterling pack's Alpha."

A trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. "I should have taken better care of you before..."

Harper regained her thoughts and handed the thumb drive back to Jackson. "No. I can take care of myself."

Jackson's wolf rose to the surface, and the Alpha command

was heavy in his voice. "You will take it," he growled.

Harper didn't know what to say after hearing that, and the

Alpha command in his voice wouldn't let her refuse.

He turned to leave.

Where are you going?"

Jackson looked back and smiled at her. "I'm going to the

cemetery to see her."

For some reason, Harper felt uneasy when she saw his smile.

She looked at his back and blurted out, "Silas, you're my only relative in this world. Don't do anything stupid."

When he heard this, his eyes darkened with sadness.

He didn't look back and just waved his hand at Harper.

Jackson bought a bouquet of flowers on his way to the cemetery.

When he arrived, a figure was kneeling on one knee in front of Taya's gravestone.

The wolf shifter looked so haggard that Jackson almost didn't

recognize him.

Griffon's appearance took him so much by surprise that Jackson gave the Alpha a minute before walking up and

placing the flowers in front of the stone.

The two men stood in front of the gravestone and looked at the photo of Taya on it. They did not speak, nor did they drive the other away.

After a long silence, Jackson asked, "Did you love her?"

Griffon felt a sharp pain in his heart and didn't reply.

Jackson continued. "Do you think she loved you?"

Griffon finally raised his head and looked at Jackson with

bloodshot eyes, his irises changing to amber with his wolf.

Jackson took out a wedding photo from his suit pocket and placed it in front of Taya's tombstone.

When Griffon looked at the photo, his face turned paler. "You... Did you mate her?"

Jackson couldn't help but smile. "She's mine. An elder performed the mating ceremony before she passed."

Griffon picked up the picture. When he saw Taya and

Jackson's happy smiles, something snapped.

He tore the picture to shreds while Jackson calmly looked on.

"When she was with you, you had so many opportunities to make her yours, but you only let her be your mistress. You missed out, and you only have yourself to blame." Jackson was done with the niceties, and he waved Griffon

away.

"I want to be alone with my mate."

Griffon didn't move.

"I said you can leave now."

Griffon looked as if he was going to say something, but then stomped off with a low growl.

Jackson dropped to his knees in front of the gravestone and

rested his forehead on it.

"I've taken care of everything for Harper like you wanted me to. She's strong, and she'll be okay. I... I can accompany you

now."

He took out a gun filled with silver bullets and looked at her

picture with a smile.
