Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

Somehow, that small amount of Jell-O managed to fill me up. I put down the spoon and asked Harper, "Shouldn't you be getting to work?"

"I've taken two days off to take care of you. You can't just be in the hospital alone."

Harper lay down on the empty hospital bed next to me. "Plus, I can take this opportunity to get some rest."

I smiled gently, knowing better than to argue. "Thank you, Harper," I said softly.

Harper waved her hand and yawned. "I'm gonna take a nap. Yell if you need anything."

I nodded. "The nurses are here if I need anything. Don't worry, and go to sleep."

Only then did Harper close her eyes.

Harper worked in a nightclub. Most of the time, she was on the night shift. Since her hours were awful and she had to cram her daytime chores and errands into a few hours after she woke up, she was always very busy and tired.

Had she been adopted into a pack,

her life would have been very different. I'd always hoped for that

for her. Once I didn't get t I wolf puberty, I knew there was no hope for me. But Harper? She had her

wolf, and she was so smart.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Without a pack and a family, she wasn't able to go to college, and without a bachelor's degree, there wasn't much else she could do other than a service industry job.

After graduating high school, she didn't find a good job, but she wanted to settle in Arcadia. So, the nightclub it was.

At first, she worked bottle service. It

didn't take her long to be promoted to a management position, though because she was damn good at her job. She was great at everything she did, and I was super proud of her.

She was even able to buy a house and a car after a few years, which was a huge achievement for an orphaned she-wolf with no pack.

To top it all off, Harper had met the

man she was going to spend the rest of her life with, and their mating ceremony was next month. After she mated, she'd finally belong to a pack and have the family she'd always dreamed of.

No more struggling for her. She'd finally have everything she wanted.

Unlike me. I'd never have the chance for that.

But I wouldn't have any regrets as long as I could live until Harper's wedding and see her get married.
