The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189
“What, what?”
Preston was dumbfounded.
“Go back to the pack manor and ask Mr. Sheridan to prepare the mating ceremony gifts.”
It took Preston a few minutes to take in what Griffon had said and to regain his ability to speak after the shock he’d been delivered.
“You can’t be serious. Are you really going to mate Tara? Her character is questionable at best for a Luna. Our pack needs someone kind, someone full of light and love…someone who respects other people.”
Griffon didn’t reply. His vacant eyes were filled with a dim light.
He felt as if he had fallen into a lonely abyss.
Preston’s eyes were full of sympathy and helplessness.
“Griffon, we can wait a little longer. There’s no need to—”
“What’s there to wait about?” Griffon snarled.
Preston opened his mou th and wanted to say something, but it was useless.

No matter if they did it immediately or waited, the outcome was still the same.
Instead, Preston simply nodded and said, “I’ll have Mr. Sheridan prepare the mating gifts.”

The Rolls-Royce stopped at the entrance to Taya’s neighborhood. Taya, lying in the back seat, had not woken up
yet.
“Alpha, should I wake Ms. Palmer?” the driver asked.
Jackson turned his head to look at the peacefully sleeping Taya, feeling a bit reluctant to disturb her.
“Call for one of the men to pick you up. Leave the car to me.”
The driver nodded and handed the keys over to Jackson before getting out of the vehicle.
Jackson didn’t know which house Taya lived in, nor did he know when she would wake up.
After hesitating for a few minutes, he started the car and took her to his villa.
He had planned to stay there when he came to Arcadia for the bidding, but Ms. Thorin had insisted on arranging a hotel for them, so he had never been there.

One of the many perks of being a rich Alpha was the ability
to have someone purchase real estate for you and take care of getting it set up.
After he parked the car, he carried Taya into the villa.
How was she still not awake?

“Alpha, you’re here.” Cora, who was waiting in the villa, hurried over when she saw Jackson.
He nodded and instructed, “Prepare a set of clean pajamas.”
Cora glanced at the girl in his arms and dared not ask any more questions. She replied with a “yes” and went to find pajamas.
Jackson put Taya on the bed in the second bedroom. Looking at her peaceful and beautiful face, the sense of paranoia that had been plaguing him eased slightly.
He raised his hand and caressed her hair.
For a long time, he sat by the bed and watched her before asking Cora to help her change into the pajamas.
Then he went to the bathroom, washed up, and returned to the bedroom to look at Taya.
Seeing that she had turned over and changed her sleeping position, he heaved a deep sigh of relief.

It was as if she had passed away silently when she fell asleep.
Now that Taya was safe and sound, he gently closed the door and turned to the main bedroom.
