Ch. 161..165
Chapter 161
Allison experienced a sharp pain in her chest. She was unable to see that Ryan was holding another woman at the time.
She had the intention of leaving the pack house at this very moment, but she forgot that her hand was still holding Ethan’s arm.
Ethan yanked her hand away from the hold she had on him and sprinted over to the two people who were seated on the couch.
Allison was taken aback and immediately began to chase after him.
Ethan seized Elora by the arm and yelled,
“What a shameless woman you are!”
Allison’s eyes widened. She stared at Ethan. She was completely unaware of what had transpired with him.
Elora gay than a frowning look while she gazed at the hand that

Allison cast her gaze in his direction. Her attention turned to the han that was still around Elora’s waist being held by him. ́
Elora snatched her arm away from Ethan’s grip. “How dare you?” Sh said while scowling at him.

“Whatever theme my Luna wants.” Ryan responded and looked at Allison.
His piercing eyes revealed no sign of emotion in any way. She was able to recall every word that he had told her last night.
She looked away and nodded her
She asked Elora.
. “What do you want, Elora?”
“For now, I want this man to leave my Alpha’s bedroom.” Elora said and signaled Allison towards Ethan.
Allison was astonished by her words.
“Excuse me? He is the head Alpha of this pack. You are not allowed to speak to him in that manner. You can’t be impolite to us simply because we are courteous with all of you; it’s not acceptable.”
Allison made an attempt to speak for Ethan, who was staring at Elora, as though she were the most dangerous adversary he had ever faced in his life
In your Alpha to learn something. How can he touch

her.
We are not here to argue. We just want to ask about the party theme.”
“Black and white.” Elora let out.
“She didn’t ask for a dress code.” Ethan said while piercing his sharp eyes at her.
“I didn’t talk about dress code either. We want a black and white theme. It is impossible for everything to be black, so why not just mix some whi
nto it?” Elora explained to Allison, totally ignoring Ethan “Okay, thanks for your cooperation. We are leaving now. Have a good night.” She replied. She could feel Ryan’s gaze on her. There was no
point in looking at him at this point.
She took Ethan along with her by holding his arm and pulling him.
“Let’s go. Let the couple enjoy their night.” Allison said it loudly to
make it audible.
On the other hand, she was completely unaware of the fact that it roused Ethan’s wrath.
After escorting Ethan out of the room, Allison loosened her grip on his arm and questioned, “What exactly is going on between you and Elora? Why did you behave like that inside the room?”
Ethan’s eyes turned red, which surprised her. He shook his head and said,
“Right now, I really need to go for a run. Go back home. My driver will drive you safely.”
Saying that he left from there. Allison glanced at the door, which she closed behind her the moment she came out of the room.
Her heart was shuddering, thinking about Ryan with another woman. She did not want to think about what they were doing inside. She tried to control her tears and left the pack house as quickly as she could.
Meanwhile, in the bedroom,
Elora was pacing back and forth. Ryan lit up another cigarette while maintaining his focus on her.
“Feeling bad for your lover?” He asked.
“He is not my lover.” She replied and continued walking.
She was t
g to exert control over her wolf, which was showing
signs of distress for the sake of her mate.
“Oh, yes. He is her lover. A cowardly couple, a man and a woman who
are both cowards. The perfect match!” He mocked Allison in his statement.
Elora halted her movement and turned her attention to him. “You were well aware that they would be able to see us. Because of this, you let me hug you.”
“My hybrid can’t be naive. I knew it.”
“Ryan, let’s leave tonight. We don’t need to wait another night. I am not feeling well.” Elora requested.
Ryan observed her face. She was on the edge of breaking down into teare
“Come here.”
She slowly stepped towards him and stood in front of him.
“I am really impressed with you. You made him fall for you in a few days. Indeed, matebond is a really nasty thing.” He muttered with hostility in his tone. He was looking at the closed door while talking.
“But then again, you are my hybrid. You will do as I wish, won’t you?”
hile listening to him.
at do you want me to do?”
He turned to her and replied,
“Reject him.”
She shook her head in disbelief. “No, I can’t. He is an Alpha. How can anyone reject an Alpha?”
He smirked at her. “Whose blood is running in your body, dear?”
Her eyes widened. Her knees trembled after hearing that.
She fell to her knees as tears rolled down from her eyes unexpectedly
She sobbed and let out,
“H-He will die.”
Chapter 162
The whole pack house was busy with decorations and arrangements just as Alpha Neil said it would be a grand party. Every other Alpha from different packs would attend the party. So the arrangements should be the best
Ethan returned to the pack house in the early hours. He ran the whole night in the forest to ease his anger.
He was a dominant Alpha. His wolf did not like it when he saw that their mate was getting close to another man.
Last night, Ethan’s wolf was on the verge of taking control over him. But he somehow controlled himself and went for a run.
“Where were you, Ethan?” Ella asked him as she noticed him coming inside the pack house.
Mom, you woke up at this hour?” He asked her and composed imself so that his mother would not understand his mood.
Ella walked toward him and stroked his hair. “Why do you look so gloomy and tired? You were outside the whole night?”
“Yeah, mom. I just wanted to run for some time.” He replied and looked away from her gaze.
“Did you have a fight with Allison?”
He shook his head and replied,
“No, Mom. I am sleepy. I will talk to you later.”
Ethan headed to the stairs without letting his mother ask another
questi
e did not want to lie.
When he was heading to his room, he stopped and turned his head to
the opposite hallway.
Unexpectedly, his legs started to stem that way. He stopped in front of a door and lifted his hand. He was about to knock on the door, but before that, he heard the sound of another door closing.
He turned his head and saw Elora coming out of Ryan’s room.
He felt rage bubbling inside him. His jaw clenched, and his fists tightened.
Elora paused as she noticed Ethan standing close to her bedroom door.
She was in Ryan’s room all night. He was not in his bedroom. He had left his room half an hour after Ethan and Allison left.
She did not feel good, so she stayed in the empty room and had no idea when she fell asleep. But when her eyes opened, she came out of the room with the thought that Ryan would not like her to stay in his room for long.
“What are you doing in front of my bedroom?” She asked Ethan and started to walk again.
“So you were sleeping with him?” He muttered. Anger was swayed in his tone.
Elora rolled her eyes and stood beside him. “I don’t need to tell you with whom I sleep at night.”
She reached for the doorknob and twisted it. She entered her room
and tried to close it.
But a hand grabbed the door and stopped her from closing it.
“What are you doing?” Elora let out a low scream.
He pushed the door with his hand and entered the room. It startled. he, and she stepped back.
His eyes were grimacing at her as he cird the door behind him.
Elora attempted to grab the doorkob to open it, but he grabbed her arm and slammed her back agains the door.
She looked at him with wide eyes.
“W-What’s wrong with you?”
Ethan came close to her and placed his elbows on the door beside her head to cage her between his arms.
Elora could see his weary eyes. He looked exhausted. She averted her eyes and said,
“How dare you push me like this? If Ryan kno-”
“Shhh”
He placed his finger on her lips to halt her from saying any further.
She froze because of his touch and the closeness between them.
“How could you do that when you have your own mate? Didn’t your wolf feel anything?” He asked with his furious eyes, expecting
answers from her expressions.
Her face grew calm as she sighed. She did not speak because his finger was on her lips.
His eyes shifted from hers and fell on her lips. His fingers slightly caressed her lips.
She pushed him immediately and said,
“Don’t touch me. I am no one to you.
her arms and once again pressed her against the door.
He grab her arms
“Why are you after him? He can’t make you happy.”
She chuckled as if mocking him. “Really? Then who can make me happy? Do you have any options for me? Did you leave any options? Because you are busy making your ex-rate happy.”
Ethan’s grip tightened on her arms. She glared at him. “If you love her so much. Why don’t you just mark her as quickly as you can? Why are you even waiting for a month?”
“You are so eager to see my mark on her neck. Aren’t you?” Ethan asked with gritted teeth.
“Of course. When you mark her, maybe Ryan can be fully mine. Otherwise, she will always roam around him. You know how much I love Ryan.”
“I dare you to call his name another time. I will kill you.” He warned as his eyes turned red.
She did not feel any fear in her heart. Because she was a powerful witch.
Her eyes also changed color. Seeing her glowing emerald eyes, Ethan felt a pain in his chest.
His
Mora.”
to her cheek and said,
e balled her fists to prevent herself. Her wolf was howling to embrace this man.
How long have they known each other? Only one week!
But why was this mate bond feeling like that? It felt like she had known Ethan for a long time. It felt like she would die if she did not accept him and let him move on with another woman.
“Why? So that I can see my mate marrying another woman?” She let
Jut.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Seeing his reaction, she laughed at him.
She patted his arms and said,
“Alpha Ethan, you are a cowardly man. You never dared accept your fate and always tried to hide from reality. Is this what you call a dominant alpha? Is killing in the war the only thing that makes anyone a good Alpha?”
Ethan rested his head on her neck and mumbled,
“Even if I want, I can’t let her go..” He paused and smelled her scent from her neck by inhaling.
Her fingernails almost pierced muscles through his shirt, and he began to feel burned there.
He groaned when she pushed him. She opened the door and said,
“Leave my room. I am leaving your pack tonight anyway.”
He stared at her for a moment, then said,
“I won’t let you go.”
“Really? How? By telling others that I am your mate? What about the woman that you have been caging for years? What about your brother? Will he let you do that?”
He glared at her and said,
“He knows everything, doesn’t he? He is just taking revenge on me. He knew about us, but still he slep-”
“SHUT UP.” She yelled at him, which took him aback.
“If you d o talk about him once again, I will show you what a hybrid’s power is. Your Alpha self will lose in front of it. Everything. you said was bullshit about him. Do you know what reality is? He is
far better than you.”
It didn’t suit him, so he parted his lips. However, she stepped toward him and pointed her finger at his chest.
“You are a sinner. You broke his heart in childhood. Because of you his parents never treated him well. You are his big brother, right? Then why didn’t you show him the love that other brothers show
for their siblings? Do you know why? Because you were insecure inside your heart. You always wanted his things. You rejected Allison, but when you saw that Ryan was after her, you realized that you had lost
something to him. Now, when you see Ryan has another woman, you
want that too.”
Ethan’s eyes widened. Her words pierced his heart. He frowned at her. “I-I never thought like that.”
She scoffed at him. “Yeah, sure. He is the only evil in the world, and you are a saint. You always wanted good for everyone. But what about your brother? Have you thought about it ever?”
“Don’t hide his mistakes. Allison was my mate at first, and you are my mate now. Both of you are related to me. So he is the one who crossed my fate. I am the Alpha who did not kill him after seeing you in his bedroom. Who knows what he has done with yo-”
A slap echoed throughout the room.
Elora slapped him.
“He never touched me for once. It was me who was always after him. tried hard to attract him, but he never spent a single night with me. It’s not only because he had another woman in his heart but also because he was not as treacherous as you. You knew he loved her, but you still managed for your father to knot your tie with her. But he never used me once. Because he was loyal to his brother in his heart. He knew I was his brother’s mate. He gave me his name, and he
secured me with him. He never let other men disrespect me. He always reminded me of who I am. He never tried to be a disloyal person like you, Alpha Ethan. He can play a villain in everyone’s life, but in my eyes, no matter what, he will always be my hero.”
Her words caught Ethan off guard. Elora could see his cloudy eyes. But she could not read them.
Ethan did not say anything to her in reply. In fact, he turned around. and left her room.
Chapter 163
Allison combed her hair as she stared at herself in the mirror.
Ella sent her a gorgeous gown for tonight. It was a stunning red gown embellished with white stones and gleaming pearls.
She did not appear to be a common young woman but rather a noble lady who had become mature enough to gracefully carry herself.
She then looked at the setting she had chosen for her hair while laying the comb down on the dressing table. She had two braids. coming down from the upper two sides and joining in the middle of her head. Her hair was down.
She got to her feet and slipped on her red high heels. She gave herself one more look in the mirror before saying,
“Tonight, everything will be changed. He will leave the pack tonight. I will call off the wedding tonight as well.”
She emerged from her bedroom and made her way downstairs. She looked up to see her mother and father standing at the door.
walking up to them, she announced, “I am ready.”
Her father gave her a glance and then said, “I think it would be best if we talked first. Last night, you said you were not available to talk. Today, you locked yourself in your room the whole day. Now you have to talk with us.”
Allison stepped aside to cross her father’s path and stepped out of the house.
“I will talk to you after the party.” She said and walked to her father’s
wing for them to come.

“You are a Luna. You can’t think of yourself over your pack.”
“Sometimes I wonder, Dad. Am I really your own child?”
“ALLISON!” Joey shouted and grabbed her arm..
“Stop talking nonsense. You can’t talk to your father like this. We didn’t bring you up for this day.”
Allison slowly removed her mother’s hand from her arm and replied,
“I don’t want to be impolite with you either. You will not have to feel like this anymore. Because I am leaving soon.”
“Leave?” Glen asked with a stunned face.
“Yeah, I will break the wedding tonight. Not in front of everyone, of course. I can’t see them feeling embarrassed. After the party, I will explain everything to others. I am an adult. I know what is good or bad for me. I can’t live like this. If you will let me choose once again, I’ will choose myself this time.”
Her father stared at her. She could feel her mother’s gaze on her, too.
Unexpectedly, they did not say anything and turned away from her.
The driver was silent the whole ride. He was a loyal man to Glen. So they did not bother to think that he would listen to everything.
The car reached the pack house. The pack house’s exterior ations were the first thing that welcomed them.
The lights that were shining outside the pack house brightened her
eyes.
So many cars were v
in line in front of their cars to let the
guests down on the red carpet.
She noticed many young ladies came with heavy gowns and gorgeous makeup. She understood that they were the other head
Alphas’ daughters.
When their car stopped in front of the entrance of the pack house, Allison got down with her parents.
She walked the red carpet gracefully. Others around her were looking at her in awe. They knew who she was.
The soon-to-be Luna of this pack.
Allison entered the pack house and saw many guests. So many different faces came to attend the party tonight who might never have come to any other party before.
It was clear that each and every one came to meet the head Alpha of
the Black Moon Pack.
“Allison, my dear.” Ella spoke out from a little distance.
She ignored others’ gazes on her and directly headed to Ella.
She hugged her and noticed Ella’s dress. It was almost the same design as hers, but in white. She was surprised by it.
“I selected three dresses. One for me and the other two for my two beautiful daughters-in-law.”
Allison was amazed by her statement. But she felt bad that she would have to break Ella’s heart tonight.
explain how gorgeous you look. You are looking like a queen.” Ella said with delight in her eyes, indicating that she was not lying but saying it truthfully.
“Thanks, Aunt.” Allison said and hugged her.
After breaking the hug, her eyes fell behind Ella. Ella’s eyes followed her gaze.
Everyone also turned their heads as the main characters came to join
the party
Ryan was coming down with Elora.
Allison looked at Ryan, who was in a black suit, which was his color as always.
But her eyes shifted to Elora, who was wearing the same dress as her but in black color.
Ella smiled at them and said to Allison,
“I chose you two girls’ dresses with my two sons’ favorite colors.”
Allison could not pay attention to Ella since she was lost looking at the couple in front of her eyes.
However, Ella’s statement caught her mind.
“My sons are your fates. I know my sons. They are different from each other. But one thing is for sure. They will never let go of their
beloved woman.”
Chapter 164
Alison’s eyes were fixed on Ryan. The alphas of different packs
gathered around him just to greet him once
He was the main character of the pary, in fact, he was the most
wanted man in all of the packs.
She could see others behavior in fort of him. At such a young age. he buit such a massive caste that others could not even dare touch

He was the Alpha with the most success and an accomplished businessman who effortlessy maintained his dominance over them.

itfight he believes that am not strong enough to
with him. Therefore, the conflict is not even close to it.”
We she was looking at Ryan, she whispered.
What are you saying? Did Ethan say that? I am going to grab his ear and tell him that he needs to apologize to you.”
“Ethan?” Allison asked and came back to her senses.
She turned to Ella and smiled at her. ‘Don’t do anything. I was just-
Allison. I think it’s normal to have fights in couples. Do you know something? Fights and distance make love stronger. Because when people own their shortcomings and comprehend their blunders, they
move closer to one another.”
Allison glanced at Ryan and cursed herself for relating him to every single thing.
“But I think he is extremely regretful. He was really upset and angry
when he returned to the pack house today.”
Allison frowned in confusion. “Returned? Where was he?”
“He left last night and did not come back until early in the morning. He looked distressed. I asked him what had happened to him. He just said that he was out for a run.”
“Run?”
She recalled that before her, he left the pack house after telling her that his driver would drop her home.
‘So he ran for the whole night? Why? She thought about it and tried to locate him.
As her eyes wandered, Ella understood that she was searching for Ethan.
“He is drinking nonstop. I think you two should clear up your misunderstandings. He is the head Alpha of this pack. Other Alphas are trying to greet him, but he is not giving them a chance and has made himself busy.”
“Don’t worry, Aunt. I will talk to him.”
Ella gave her a nod in relief and gestured her toward the bar area.
Allison found Ethan sitting on a stool. He was looking somewhere
Minking.
Allison walked to him and stood next to him. He was so lost looking somewhere that he did not realize that she came to speak to him.
Allison followed his eyes and looked in the direction he was looking.
“An apple juice for her.” Someone ordered the bartender.
Allison was stunned and turned her head beside her. She saw Vernon. standing beside her.
She raised her brows at him. He glanced at her and asked,
“What?”
“Nothing.” She replied with a warm smile.
She was surprised that Vernon remembered what drink she preferred.
He formerly worked as a bartender in a club that belonged to this pack. At the time, she was unaware of the fact that he served as one of the authorities for a powerful pack. She could not believe how effortlessly Ryan and his officials hid their identities and carried on as if they were just living a normal life here. Despite the fact that they were the wealthiest people, they did not exhibit any signs of
arrogance.

e glanced behind her at Vernon with a pair of incensed eyes. But Vernon ignored him, as if he did not sit there for any fight but only to have drinks.
“You were so busy looking somewhere. I can see these days. You are lost. What happened to you, Ethan?” Allison asked him.
Ethan looked away and chugged down the drink from the glass in his har
He did not respond to her. She stared at him while observing him carefully. She sipped her drink and then roamed her eyes around the hall.
Her eyes met a pair of dark eyes. She immediately averted her eyes.
Ethan got on his feet, and she also followed him.
“Alpha, nice to meet you. We were looking for you. We thought you.
would be the one who introduced us to Alpha Ryan.”
A few Alphas approached them and said to Ethan.
They glanced at Allison and greeted her.
“Should we call you Luna? We got the invitation to your wedding. We are eager to attend your wedding next month.”
Allison could only smile at them politely. She did not know what to answer. She knew Ethan and the whole pack’s reputation would be destroyed when a girl rejected the marriage proposal or called off the wedding with the head Alpha.
“I thought it was Alpha Ryan’s day. So I gave you all the time to meet him freely.” Ethan replied calmly.
“You should count your blessings that he is your brother. Alpha Neil never introduced him to us before. We wonder why. Perhaps he has no interest in your pack and went for the biggest pack to rule.” Another voice came from behind the Alphas, who were standing there.
These Alphas made a slight movement, which allowed the man who was speaking to go closer to them.
“Alpha Easton.”
Ethan recognized the man who approached them slowly. He was the sere biggest pack, the East Flow pack’s head Alpha.
Allison was taken aback by looking at the young man. She remembered that he was the one who attacked Ethan two years ago. Because of him, he almost lost his life.
“How are you, Alpha Ethan?” He asked and smirked.
Ethan’s fists tightened, which Allison noticed clearly. She held his hand and patted his hand with her palm to prevent him from doing. anything that would leave a bad impression later.
“Oh! Beauty! Who is she?” Alpha Easton asked as his eyes fell on
Allison.
“She is our future Luna.” Wade replied, and he came to handle the
situation.
“I can’t believe it. What a fate! She is gorgeous.” He muttered.
Ethan almost growled at him, but Ryan’s voice stopped him.
“Not more than your sister, East.”
Everyone’s attention was drawn to Ryan. It was Elora who brought him there.
Easton rolled his eyes. His amazed face turned grim.
“Rya

into war.”
Chapter 165
Everyone started to feel nervous. Ethan frowned at Ryan, thinking he was talking about him. But his eyes fell on Easton, who looked
anxious.
“How is your beta? I had heard that he was ill.” Ryan put the question
to Easton.
“He is doing well at this time.” Easton gave his response. His tone was full of anger.
“You need to provide additional training for your officials. Take a look at mofficials. They have the appearance of college students, yet
omes to fighting, they can even kill the head Alphas if I order ell, not by tricking them into some kind of car accident, you meant the real fight.” Ryan said and winked at Easton.
statements took Ethan, Allison, and Wade by complete and utter Surprise. They were aware that he was referring to the accident that Easton staged in order to take Ethan’s life.
“Were you talking about me?” Beta Max came there with Teresa.
Allison looked at her and saw she was wearing a beautiful blue dress.
1. Come here. Meet Alpha Easton, my very old buddy. I could norget a chance to introduce you to him.” Ryan’s voice came out as
sarcasm.
But Beta Max nodded at Alpha Easton. He also gave him a nod and
said,
“Nice to meet you all. I think I have to leave right now.”
“Why? Don’t you think you should be here till the party ends?” Ethan. muttered.v5
“No, I just came to greet everyone. See you all at the pack meeting.”
Saying that Alpha Easton left the pack house.
A scoff could be heard there. Other Alphas looked at Ryan, who remarked,
“Coward!”
They kept quiet and went to their Lunas, who were busy talking with each other.
Meanwhile, Teresa hugged Allison and said in a whisper, “My drop- dead gorgeous lady.” Allison chuckled and praised her as well.
Teresa went to Elora and hugged her too, since she was also her friend. However, Elora did not look happy.
Allison felt that Elora was faking her delighted behavior.
She looked at Ryan, who had walked to the bar, and sat next to Vernon, who was still enjoying drinks. Then he ordered a drink for
himself.
Her eyes turned to Ethan, who was staring at Ryan as if he were thinking something.
“Ethan” She patted his shoulder.
Lurned to her and said,
“Give me a few minutes. I need to talk to him.”
Allison was stunned. “To him?” She asked and pointed her head at Ryan.
Ethan gave her a nod of acknowledgment. Allison let him go and
stood in a corner. Her mind was full of questions. She was perplexed. by each and every one’s behavior.
Meanwhile, Ethan took a seat next to Ryan.
“So you were the one who disabled Alpha Easton’s beta?” Ethan asked him.
Ryan paused his drinking. Vernon chuckled when he heard Ethan.
“Alpha Ethan is really slow. He should have understood this a very long time ago. Who had the audacity to touch Alpha Easton’s people?”
Ethan heard Vernon but stared at Ryan. He observed the man in front of him. He was his brother. But they did not have time to build their relationship like that.
He thought he took everything from him and vice versa.
d you do that?” Ethan asked once again.
yan took a sip of his drink while maintaining his attention on the bar counter before responding,
“If you had died by his hand, it wouldn’t be fun, you know.”
*Then why did you save me by giving him a warning?”
Ryan cocked his head to the side and sneered at Ethan before saying,
“So that I can give you the death that I have decided for you.”
A
aring his response, Ethan was taken aback. After a moment, he regained his composure and asked,
“Do you hate me that much?”
“Of course not. Not more than your dad.” He muttered and winked at him.
“Ryan, he is our father.”
“Your father.” He reminded him.
“He loves you too. I saw the pain in his eyes when you left the pack. He looked for you in every possible place, but when he couldn’t find you, I watched how devastated he became. You are aware of his personality. Even though he is unable to express his feelings to other people, he will never stop loving you.”
“Oh, come on. Why is everyone rushing over to give me a lecture? Why are you so emotional today and telling me this? Perhaps…” Ryan paused and turned his head toward Elora, who was talking
with Teresa. After that, he continued by saying,
“You want me to let go of something for you.”
Ethan looked into Ryan’s eyes, which were full of amazement.
“You knew everything. Why did you not tell me? How can you want to live with someone else’s woman?”
“You are doing the same; why would I have a problem with it?”
Ethan glanced at Allison and then looked away. “You can’t have her. Not even if I die.”
The light in Ryan’s eyes began to fade.
“Who said to you that I want to have her? I have your mate with me. She will be mine in every way. You know what I mean.”
Ethan lifted his hand to grab his collar but stopped himself when he realized where they were.
