The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104
Jackson received a message from one of his men while he was in the bathroom, alerting him that Griffon Knight had arrived.
He’d expected that would happen.
Jackson didn’t know much about what had happened between Tara and Griffon. What he did know was that the Knight pack and the Thorin pack were to be unified by a mating.
Since they were to be mated, Griffon would naturally come to support Tara. Otherwise, it would put him in an uneasy position as an Alpha. Without his support at one of her first business functions, especially as the Alpha of the pack whose project the MPC was managing, Tara would have looked as though her future mate didn’t value her enough to show up.

Griffon didn’t say anything during the whole process. He only occasionally looked at the door with a brooding look on his face.

When Tara saw Griffon looking in the direction of the door from time to time, she followed his gaze to see exactly what he was looking at.
She happened to see Taya’s thin figure and frowned. “Griffon, what are you looking at?”
With an apathetic expression, he picked up his phone and shifted his gaze to the screen. “What time will this nonsense end? I have other pack business to attend to.”
Tara felt a sliver of relief. He hadn’t been looking at the other woman; he was looking through the door and out of the window beyond it to the sky outside. “Not too much longer.”

After saying that, she looked at Jackson and the pack members he’d brought with him.

to be concerned about. MPC and Alpha Knight have always been fair and impartial. It is MPC’s job to facilitate projects and manage the contract negotiations with discretion, honesty, and without bias. You can rest assured that anything you have heard regarding possible favoritism toward the Knight pack is false. We must rely on our strengths rather than perceived weaknesses.”
