Chapter 179
Seeing that Taya remained silent, Griffon's anger gradually shifted into disappointment.
This woman was really something.
He felt ridiculous and stu pid thinking of what he had done. He'd searched for her, thought of her, orchestrated reasons to see her...for what?
As if he had suddenly woken up, he let go of her.
She stumbled backward, trying to regain her balance after he shoved her away.
"From now on, I won't come to you again."
After saying that, he left.

I was so shocked, I couldn't move. I just stood there and watched Griffon's back as he walked to the door.
Something deep inside, some sort of divine intuition from the goddess told me after he closed the door behind him, there was no going back, that he would keep his vow. I don't know where my courage came from, but I rushed
forward and stopped him. My words were practically incoherent as I begged him. "I'm- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you before. Silas and me-no, Jackson. We, we—"
"It has nothing to do with me," Griffon interrupted me. "I only came to you because I can't stand being deceived. Now that I know the reason, it doesn't matter anymore."
His words made me feel terrible, as though the ground had been ripped out from under my feet and I was left flailing my arms.
Nothing I could say in this moment would make a difference. I knew him well enough to know that. He'd made up his mind, and once the Alpha's mind was made up, that was that.
So I made my face as bland as I could and pretended that nothing had happened. I nodded and said quietly, resolutely, "Okay then, Alpha Knight. Take care."
As soon as I finished speaking, tears welled up in my eyes. Quickly, I turned around, not letting him see me, see how devastated I was.
The sound of the door opening and closing came from behind
me.
