Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

I answered the phone quickly, confused as to why Elder Thorin was contacting me directly.

"Ms. Palmer, I'd like to see you in my office." The elder's voice was gentle, but even a human like me understood the unspoken command underlying every word the elder ever spoke. Even Alphas obeyed the elders-typically.

After giving the order, he hung up the phone, leaving no room for me to refuse or ask any questions.

Crap. I was pretty sure Griffon was up there, since I'd seen him on the private elevator. The last thing I wanted to do was see him, but if Elder Thorin wanted to see me, it must be important.

Ever since I had started working for the Midwest Packs Corporation, the Elder Thorin had always been friendly and kind to me, so I forced myself to his office. Even though I'd quit this job, I still wanted to be respectful of him and treat him how he'd always treated me.
