Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

chapter31

Preston quickly turned to face the back seat and stopped me, his voice low and gentle. "Don't worry about it. It's just water. It'll dry."

For a moment, I almost forgot that the person sitting in the passenger seat in front of me, who had rescued me from the rain was related to Griffon, was part of the powerful Knight family and pack. A pack known more for its ruthlessness and power than its kindness. I shoved the remainder of the tissues in my bag, then looked at Preston uneasily and whispered, "Thank you."

Preston waved his hand casually. "Where do you live?"

I gave him the address, and the car quickly started and drove in the direction of my home.

Glancing at Preston, I felt a little less embarrassed when I saw him looking out of the window, his attention elsewhere. All I had to do was get through this short car ride. And thankfully, he wasn't sitting in the back seat with me. I wasn't sure why he was sitting in the front seat, but I hoped it was because he was trying to be polite and give me space...not because he would have been disgusted to sit next to me.

I'd had plenty of shifters in my life who'd wanted nothing to do with the human girl raised by wolves.
