Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon) novel Chapter 42

chapter42
There were about ten days left before the ninth of the next month.

Every day, I went to different hospitals and got prescriptions so I could accumulate sleeping pills.

After coming home one day and placing the medicine on the table, I glanced at the box setting to the side.

I hadn’t returned the dress and necklace to Roman yet. I was surprised he hadn’t asked for it back given how expensive the necklace must be. I quickly picked up the phone and made arrangements to deliver them to him.

Although I had to deal with Roman, I would return what did not belong to me.

The delivery man arrived quickly. After sending the package out, I felt much more at ease.

When Roman saw the dress and necklace being returned, he was pleased, and his wolf pawed at him.

“I know, I know,” he soothed.

If it were someone else, they would have already sold the necklace, but Taya had returned it. Which meant she cared about him enough to return something that belonged to him, and she didn’t care about the money.

Sure, she was resistant, but he’d dealt with this before with women. He loved a challenge. Right now, he just needed her to secure the project…and then he’d secure her.

“Where’s Harper?” I asked him excitedly.

Damian raised his chin toward the fitting room. “She’s trying the dress on. I saved you a seat over here.”

Oh, thank the goddess there was someplace to sit.

It was getting harder and harder to stand for long periods of time. My body could never get enough oxygen anymore. The weaker my heart got, the worse the symptoms were. I knew it wouldn’t be long for me, but I HAD to see Harper and Damian’s mating ceremony if it was the last thing I did.

And…it might possibly actually be the last thing I did.
