Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon) novel Chapter 129

I slowly turned around and looked at Tara, who was leaning against her chair.
She was bright and beautiful, which made me look homely.
I had never felt wronged before, but suddenly I felt very, very wronged.
It was as if I had been crushed under the feet of a victor. No matter how hard I struggled, it was useless.
Because I had no background or power. I had no pack to protect me, so I could be threatened, trampled on, and humiliated at will.
I gave up fighting against my fate and asked Tara numbly, “What do you want me to do to get my resignation?”
The penalty of six times the amount I borrowed was 1.2 million—I had no choice but to compromise and do whatever it was Tara wanted.
Now that my hand had been forced and I’d been “put in my place”, Tara became even more arrogant. “It’s simple. Take good care of Alpha Sterling. I’ll approve your resignation when he returns to Wolverly Capital.”
“Alpha Sterling might not want me to entertain him.”
Tara smiled. “I’ve seen that photo several times. Given how he’s looking at you, I’d say he definitely wants you to ‘entertain’ him.”
I was about to object, to tell her that he didn’t feel that way about me, but Tara’s face darkened and I clamped my mouth shut.
“Just do as I say,” Tara said in a low voice.
I’d never seen an inkling of her wolf before…but there it was. The message was loud and clear.
Tara had already decided that I had a close relationship with Jackson, and she was determined to squeeze every lost drop she could out of me before letting me go.
It was useless to say more, so I replied flatly, “I hope you won’t break your promise again.”
Tara crossed her arms over her chest and gave me a reassuring look. “I’ve always kept my word.”
I couldn’t be bothered to argue with her.
