The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181
“Ms. Palmer also grew up in the Bright Orphanage.”
“As a human?” Griffon asked.

Andre nodded. “She was dropped off at their doorstep. Since it is widely known that the Bright Orphanage is for wolf shifters, it was assumed that a wolf shifter dropped her off and she was a shifter. But, as you know, she never received the gift of her wolf from the goddess.
“Ms. Palmer and Silas were at the orphanage at the same time. It would appear that Ms. Palmer, Silas, and Ms. Palmer’s best friend-a Harper Duke-were very close. Though, upon reaching their teenage years, Ms. Palmer and Silas became a couple. They remained together up until five years ago, when Silas had a car accident. At that time, Ms. Palmer had just turned eighteen and had no money, so she had to sell herself to save him.
“Although he was saved, Silas lost his memory. He doesn’t remember Ms. Palmer, so it would appear they haven’t been in contact with each other since. I could find nothing regarding interaction between them over the past five years.”
Andre had only found a rough outline of what had happened, but the details were sparse. He didn’t know why they didn’t see each other anymore.
Griffon’s face grew darker and darker as he flipped through the

When he guessed Silas was Jackson, he knew Taya had sold herself to save Silas.
However, hearing and seeing it with his eyes made it real, something he couldn’t ignore.

Her history mattered to him. The fact that Taya had been in love with someone else, that she might have given her body to someone else… He couldn’t get those things out of his head. His wolf had always been extraordinarily possessive. What was his was ONLY HIS.
“Did you verify her virginity before you brought her to my room that night?”
Andre hadn’t expected Griffon to ask this. After a moment of shock, he shook his head.
“After I…bought Ms. Palmer, I took her to the mansion. You only told me to wash her up…”
That night, Taya had been kneeling at the door of the nightclub. It was pouring out, and as soon as Alpha Knight saw the destitute-looking girl, Andre had seen something on his face shift. He’d taken immediate notice of her, had seemed almost desperate to have her.
Andre was hurrying to get her ready for the Alpha, so he’d skipped the virginity examination. He sent someone to clean Ms. Palmer up, then sent her directly to Griffon’s room.

She’d looked so innocent, so anxious and fearful at being
prepared and brought to the Alpha. And certainly, a human wouldn’t have lied about something so serious to a wolf…an Alpha wolf no less.

Griffon seemed to have seen through what Andre was thinking, and his gaze swept over him.
When his wolf’s eyes grazed Andre, Andre shivered with fear.
