Chapter 177
“Say something.”
Griffon lowered his head and moved his face closer, his lips brushing against my cheek as he spoke.
I desperately wanted to dip my head down and away from his m outh, but he clasped the back of my
head and stopped me from moving.
“I’ll only give you one chance to explain,” he growled out, low and menacing.
There was no denying the Alpha when he was like this-if one were a wolf shifter.
Lucky for me, I was not. And his words had no power to compel me to do his bidding, to make me

I remained silent for a long time. Just as Griffon was about to lose patience, she replied. “I have nothing
to explain. It has nothing to do with you.”
The muscles in Griffon’s jaw ticked, and his fangs dropped a bit

“It has nothing to do with me…”
After repeating my words flatly, he moved his head and fisted

kiss me at any moment, and I felt his breath caress my lips.
I didn’t know what he was going to do. I was scared and guilty… and turned on.
Just as I clenched my fist, torn between trying to push him away and grabbing onto him for dear like,
Griffon suddenly spoke up.
“You lied to me because he’s Silas Johnson. You lied because you didn’t want me to know your past.

As expected, Taya’s actions confirmed his guess.
As far as he knew, the “secret” of the Sterling pack was that Jackson, who had been lost for many
years, was found five years
ago…
Taya sold herself five years ago, and Jackson was found five
years ago.
What a coincidence.
There was only one possibility: Jackson was the man named Silas she had yearned for, had called out
for in her sleep.
