Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

chapter8 Shit.

I had offered three months because I would no longer be in this world by then. And if Roman still wanted me...well, he could go and sleep with my ashes. But three days? That was hard to accept.

In any case, I could at least get away tonight.

"Alright, babe." Roman bent down and kissed my cheek. "I'll leave you alone tonight, then. See you in three days."

I touched my cheek, resisting the urge to wipe it off, feeling disgusted.

I struggled to keep an obedient face as I nodded.

Roman seemed content and finally walked toward the door.

"By the way..." He stopped half-way and turned to give me a meaningful, pointed look. "Harper is your friend, right?"

My mask of obedience cracked for a moment.

"What about her?"

"Nothing. Stay home and wait for me, okay? Don't go anywhere." Roman chuckled.

He didn't say anything threatening, but I knew exactly what he meant.
