Chapter 35

Preston quickly turned to face the back seat and stopped me, his voice low and gentle. “Don’t worry

about it. It’s just water. It’ll dry.”

For a moment, I almost forgot that the person sitting in the passenger seat in front of me, who had

rescued me from the rain was related to Griffon, was part of the powerful Knight family and pack. A

pack known more for its ruthlessness and power than its kindness.

I shoved the remainder of the tissues in my bag, then looked at Preston uneasily and whispered,

“Thank you.”

Preston waved his hand casually. “Where do you live?”

I gave him the address, and the car quickly started and dro ve in the direction of my home.

Glancing at Preston, I felt a little less embarrassed when I saw him looking out of the window, his

attention elsewhere. All I had to do was get through this short car ride. And thankfully, he wasn’t sitting

in the back seat with me. I wasn’t sure why he was sitting in the front seat, but I hoped it was because

he was trying to be polite and give me space…not because he would have been disgusted to sit next to

me.

I’d had plenty of shifters in my life who’d wanted nothing to do with the human girl raised by wolves.

Preston looked at the thin figure in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

It was a cold day for a human, and she had no coat. Yet she was still out in the rain trying to hail a taxi,

which made Preston curious. Why hadn’t she called someone or tried to find shelter until the rain

passed?

“Ms. Palmer, why didn’t Beta Starke take you home?”

A look of confusion crossed her face for a second before she erased it.

My wolf knew she was coming up with a lie…he could smell it in the pheromones coming off of her.

She clenched the purse in her hand and said casually, “We had an argument, and he threw me out of

the car.”

Preston nodded slightly. “I see.”

He noticed she was shivering, so he turned up the heat and didn’t ask any more questions. She clearly

wasn’t going to tell him the truth anyways.

The temperature in the car rose, and Taya gradually stopped shivering-while Preston was burning up.

Wolves ran hotter, and he couldn’t wait to turn the A/C on once she was out of the

car.

She gave a grateful look to Preston and explained in a cautious tone, “I was originally planning to call

an Uber, but my phone died. Everything was closed, so I was trying to get a taxi. I’m really sorry to

trouble you, but I’m thankful you stopped.”

Preston looked at the embarrassed Taya again in the rearview mirror before saying gently, “It’s okay.”

Only then did Taya seem to relax. She leaned her head against the car window and closed her eyes

wearily.

She soon fell asleep.

Not long after, the car stopped at the gate leading to Taya’s neighborhood.

Preston said without looking back, “Ms. Palmer, we’re here.”

After a few seconds without a response or hearing any movement from the back seat, Preston turned

to look at Taya.

His eyes widened slightly when he saw her leaning against the car window and sleeping soundly.

How utterly careless. How dare this little unprotected slip of a human sleep in a strange wolf’s car so

easily?

Did she think just assume that he was a good person?

Frowning, Preston gave his driver a meaningful look.
