Chapter 94
Brooks wanted Griffon to go to dinner. He wanted Griffon to mediate the issues between the Sterling pack and the Midwest Packs Corporation. Only if Griffon handled the situation and explained things would the Sterling pack
conform.

With Griffon being the powerful Alpha he was, his word tended to be law, even over the elders. Otherwise, with Tara being the new CEO, smoothing things over with the Sterling pack would be her job, and Brooks new that it would be impossible for her to do-given the fact that her relationship
with Griffon was the crux of the issue.
But right now, Griffon appeared to be unhappy, and that
put Brooks on edge. After all, he couldn’t figure out Griffon’s
feelings for Tara now that she’d returned, so he couldn’t ask
Griffon to do things as his father-in-law. He needed to be
cautious with how he worded things and with what requests.
he made.
As an elder, Brooks wielded a certain amount of power, but
Griffon and the Knight pack were a different beast altogether.
Quite literally.

They were powerful, strong, dangerous, feared…
Brooks needed to tread carefully.
Griffon put away his phone and glanced indifferently at Brooks, who was trying not to look as eager as he felt for
Griffon’s answer.
“Send me the address,” Griffon said.

Brooks hadn’t expected that Griffon would agree. He was
overjoyed but said calmly, “I’ll have Taya to send it to you after
she makes the reservation.”
After saying that, Brooks looked at Griffon with a smile and said, “I appreciate you attending tonight. Tara doesn’t have much experience with situations of this nature. And since I’m unable to attend, I’ll feel more comfortable with you there to…
guide her.”
As an elder, Brooks wouldn’t attend business dinners between
packs unless specifically requested.
And he was definitely not invited to the dinner tonight.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Sterling pack was always making things difficult for his daughter, Brooks wouldn’t have intervened with the dinner tonight. He wouldn’t have had
reservations made, and he wouldn’t have secured

transportation from the airport.
Fortunately, Griffon had agreed, and with the powerful
Alpha to support Tara tonight, Brooks was confident that the evening would go okay.
Brooks looked over at Tara, caught her eye, and then gave a subtle nod toward Griffon.
Tara quickly sat up straight on the sofa next to Griffon and leaned closer to him. “I’m so glad you’ll be attending tonight. I do hope it’s no trouble for you.”
Griffon leaned slightly to the other side to avoid her touch.
In an indifferent tone, he answered, “He handed over the development rights to me, not for me to stand by and do
nothing.”
The “he” Griffon referred to was his grandfather. Though
Griffon was the Alpha of the Knight pack, his grandfather was
still alive and was still highly revered by his pack and others.
Brooks understood what he meant. Griffon mentioned his
grandfather because he wanted to tell them he agreed to go, but not because of Tara. He just wanted to deal with official pack business.
Although it would make Tara uncomfortable, for Brooks, it was enough that Griffon agreed to go. The Alpha’s reason didn’t

matter.

“I have other business to attend to.” Griffon abruptly rose and
left without a backward glance.
Tara couldn’t hide the disappointment on her face.

Brooks leaned over and patted the back of her hand. “Griffon is an Alpha with a lot of responsibility.”
Only then did Tara put away her desolate mood and nod. “I understand.”
