Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

Seeing that Taya was upset, Harper hurried forward to stop her from leaving the room, but Taya pushed her away. Harper sighed helplessly. "Why are you so damn stubborn?"

"You've cared for me since I was young, since I didn't have a wolf to rely on. I've never been able to do anything for you. I've always been the poor little human who couldn't fend for herself." Taya paused. "Just think of it as a gift from your little sister. A thank-you for everything you've done for me."

Harper still didn't agree. Taya's life was already difficult enough, and she wasn't sure how things would go now that she didn't have Griffon taking care of her and now that Harper was moving. How could she ever accept Taya's money when she didn't know what was going to happen to her?

But...what she could do right now was just take the card, don't spend anything, and give it back to her later. Maybe when Taya got married. Taya would be happy, and they wouldn't fight. Plus, one good dowry deserved another, right? Or something like that.

After packing some more of Harper's belongings, they lay in Harper's room on the bed.
