Chapter 192
Jackson looked at me and took a step forward, then stopped abruptly. It was as though I had pricked him.
If only I could.
If only I were a porcupine shifter or something-if those even existed. All those little needles to protect myself from all these Alphas and their tempers.
He let out a huff. “I don’t need you to flatter me. I just want to make sure you’re okay.”
I’d readied myself to fight with him; I didn’t expect him to say such a thing.
It threw me off-kilter.

And now he was smiling, which threw me off even more.
He seemed genuinely concerned about my physical condition and asked a few more questions.

“Taya?”

I tried to keep my expression bland and indifferent, but I couldn’t help the tears in my eyes.
My hopes that he didn’t see them were dashed when I saw his chest heave and his eyes soften.
He was about to speak, but I didn’t want his pity. How dare he.
“If you want to make sure I’m fine, then why did you treat me like that five years ago?”
