Chapter 223
Taya gave up on asking for help.
Covering her heart, she turned over and looked up at the sky.
It was dark and gloomy, without a trace of light, as if she had come to h ell…
It was her time, and she accepted it.
Then, she felt the world spin around her, and a man picked
her up.
Taya forced her eyes open in his strong arms and looked at the perfect profile.
She couldn’t see the expression in his eyes clearly, but she could feel that he was holding her very tightly as if he was afraid of losing her.
This was the first time Griffon had shown her affection or care
in front of anyone.
She was greedy for such an embrace and couldn’t help but to lean her head on his chest.
I’ll just indulge myself for once…
Griffon quickly put Taya into the car.
Walking toward the hotel, Tara saw Griffon getting in the
car with a woman in his arms. Her face darkened, and she
hurriedly walked over, her wolf rippling inside of her with
warning.
“Griffon, who is she?” she asked.
When Griffon saw her, he quickly closed the car door so Tara
couldn’t see who the woman was.
She could only stare at the woman in the passenger seat through the dark window tint.
“I said, who is she?” she growled out.
Griffon had already proposed to her, and they were even talking about when their mating ceremony would be. But here he was, embracing another woman and putting her in his car.
And for everyone to see!
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Ignoring her, Griffon went straight to the driver’s seat, got in the car, and closed the door without hesitation.
When Tara saw the stretch limo disappear from her sight at an extremely fast speed, it was everything she could do to keep from shifting into her wolf and chasing after the car. She hadn’t even been able to catch a sniff, to scent if the woman
was familiar. And she knew better than to ask Griffon’s pack guards.
They wouldn’t say a peep about anything unless they had
been explicitly given permission to.
She took out her phone and made a call. “Find out who the woman is that accompanyied Alpha Knight to Seaview Hotel today!”

Breathless, Taya used all her strength to turn her head and look at Griffon. He was concentrating on the road as he dr ove at high speeds.
“You… Go… Your mate… Don’t worry…about me…”
Every syllable was a struggle.
She leaned back against the passenger seat and tried to take a deep breath, but she could not relieve the suffocating feeling no matter how hard she tried.
Griffon frowned and glanced at her, but he didn’t reply. With a

shirt.
“I… I don’t want…hospital…”
Taya’s fingers were cold, as if her body temperature was dropping rapidly. Or maybe she was losing circulation?
Either way, Griffon’s heart trembled, and his wolf pawed at him that he had to hurry.
“Listen to me. You’re struggling to breathe, and there’s oxygen in the hospital.”
After comforting her, Griffon held her tightly and went straight to the emergency room.
One of the doctors rushed forward.
“Alpha Knight—”
“Stella, I think she’s had a heart attack. Help!”
Stella was interrupted by Griffon before she could even speak.
She glanced at the woman in Griffon’s arms, then quickly led him toward a hospital room.
“Come with me!”
She pushed open the door and asked him to put her on the
bed.
Seconds later, an oxygen mask was over Taya’s ashen face.
