The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 146

Chapter 146
“Alpha Knight.”

Ray quickly walked up to Griffon with the other members of the Wilton pack and said respectfully, “I didn’t expect you to attend such a small-scale banquet. Otherwise, I would have waited at the door with my pack elders. Please forgive me for my disrespect.”
Griffon replied indifferently, “It doesn’t matter.”
He looked around casually. When he didn’t see what he was looking for, he frowned slightly.
Preston got out of his own car. He’d followed mainly to ask Jackson what he meant.
Seeing that Preston was also here, Ray felt even more honored.
What kind of good day was this? He had been worried that his daughter would be unable to find a suitable love, but the two brothers of the Knight pack had both come.
Although Preston was undisciplined, unprofessional, and a playboy, he was still a Knight. If anyone from the Knight pack would take his daughter as their mate, he would be honored to form a union with them.
As for Griffon, he was unconcerned with any of the reasons the

Wilton pack was holding a banquet for. He was to be the son-in-law of the Thorins, and a small pack like his couldn’t compete with an elder’s family.

Ray was incredibly self-aware, and he took the brothers of the Knight pack to be his honored guests. Even Jackson, who was praised by him earlier, had been tossed to the back of his mind, infuriating Lena Wilton.
Lena had taken a fancy to Jackson. It had been difficult for her to ask her brother to invite him, but now her father had asked her to curry favor with Preston!
She knew that Preston was a playboy. Why would he be interesting in mating with her?
Lena was so angry that Henry motioned for her to go out and avoid the situation. Only then did Lena sneak away.
Ray had been flattering Griffon, which made Henry feel very embarrassed. If he were the current Alpha, he never would have behaved in this way.
Henry looked at Jackson, nodding his head and indicating that he should go out for a drink.
Jackson had wanted to leave for a long time but wouldn’t be rude to his host. At Henry’s signal, he quickly left.
Before he could walk out of the hall, he was stopped by Preston. “Sterling.”

Preston walked up to him and questioned him with the attitude of an elder brother, not bothering to use his title. “If I remember correctly, six months ago, your pack took the initiative to talk to my pack about a mating union. But now, you’re here to attend Miss Wilton’s search for a mate. What do you mean by this?”
