Ch. 166..170

Chapter 166

Allison was observing the two brothers talking with each other. She felt relieved that at least they were having a conversation. However, as she watched Ryan walk away from Ethan, she focused her attention on Ethan. She saw him ordering another drink as though he were becoming agitated.

“What did they talk about that made him angry?”

As she looked around, she noticed that people were beginning to dance in the empty space in the center of the room. Music was played to let them enjoy the dance and the party.

After a short while, Ethan walked away from the bar area and approached Allison.

“Let’s dance.”

All of a sudden, he said and extended his hand toward her.

Allison was taken aback by it. She cast a quick peek around them and observed that everyone was staring at them.

She could not deny him in front of them. She held his hand. He took her out onto the dance floor, where another couple greeted them with a friendly smile. Allison flashed a grin right back at them.

E

took a light hold of her waist and brought her in slightly closer to him.

She was stunned by the sudden pull. She blinked a few times. He paid no attention to the stares of the others and began to move alongside

her.

“What the heck happened to you?” Allison asked him.

“Let me dance with you. Maybe I will never get the chance again.”

His remarks left Allison with a muddled understanding. She had a fixed glare at him. She could see his eyes clearly.

“You are drunk.” She mumbled.

“Yes, I am. I have to get drunk. Otherwise, I will lose my control over my wolf and do something foolish.”

Allison tried to understand him. She had not informed him that she would talk about the cancellation of the wedding with everyone after the reception.

Looking at his condition, as she observed his state, she developed an interest in getting to know the reason behind it. Because she was planning to leave him anyway.

“Why are you behaving like this?”

“I am tired, Allison. Can’t you read me?” He questioned her as he turned her around by her wrist.

Her sight changed with the spinning. It came to her attention that Teresa and Eora had joined Max and Ryan on the dance floor. Her gegaze traveled across to Ryan, who was holding Elora in his arms.

Her eves met Ryan. She could not help but keep her eyes on him, and ult, she was unable to notice that Elora was looking at the hman Allison was dancing with.

On the dance floor, two couples were dancing while maintaining eye contact. But instead of looking at their partner, they were looking at ththe partner of the other person.

EtEthan turned Allison around, and her eyes fell on Ethan once again.

“I know you love me.” Ethan said to Allison.

She made a miserable face and shook her head. “You are currently in a drunken state. You are making a fool of yourself once again.”

Ethan chuckled and leaned close to her ear, then whispered,

“Of course, you have a soft corner still left in your heart for me. Otherwise, you would have never defended me whenever someone else tried to disgrace me.”

Allison recalled last night when she defended him when Elora was talking with him in an impolite way.

Before she could say anything, he added,

“But you love him more.”

His words froze her. He moved his head back and looked at her.

“When did you realize that you love him more than me?”

“What are you saying, Ethan? I think we should stop danci-”

“No, I want to know. I need to know how other people were able to enter our lives and grab our hearts in such a short time.”

Allison stopped her legs from moving. “Other people? Our hearts? What are you saying?” She asked him with a shocked tone.

It was quite evident that he was referring to both her and himself.

made the statement.

Who grabbed his heart in such a short time?

Suddenly, the music changed, and all of the couples drew closer to one another in a circle.

It was the time when people could change their dancing partners by swirling them around.

“Etha-”

Before Allison could ask Ethan, he twirled her around and let go of her wrist.

After she had turned, another person caught hold of her wrist. Her upper body collapsed onto the hard chest, but her legs continued to move slowly in time with the music.

She raised her head and was met by a pair of familiar sharp eyes.

Her heart started to beat faster.

His hand went tenderly around her waist as it was wrapped around her.

She was lost in his eyes. But his eyes were blank for her to read.

They were dancing in silence while looking into each other’s eyes. Her eyes were filled with love, but his eyes were filled with anger.

So Alpha Easton’s sister is more gorgeous than me? Then why didn’t you go for her instead of Elora?” She broke the silence.

She thought he would not answer her. But he surprised her by responding.

“Because she is special. She has the charm to grab anyone’s heart around her fingers to clench it.”

The words rolled down his tongue with an amusing tone.

She frowned with a confused look when she saw him looking behind her. She turned her head to see where he was looking.

She saw Ethan dancing with Elora. His eyes were fixed on hers. She saw that his eyes looked different. It was filled with anger and pain.

Pain?

She turned her head back to Ryan with wide eyes.

moved away from him and walked to Ethan. She seized his hand, d they came to a halt in their dancing.

Ethan acted like he was lost somewhere and had just come to his

senses.

“I am rry, I forgot to swirl her.” He muttered to her.

During that time, Elora turned her gaze away from Ethan and glanced

at Ryan, who was staring at her.

After dragging Ethan away from the dance floor, Allison then

proceeded to the garden area.

“We need to talk, Ethan.”

Chapter 167

Allison brought Ethan to the garden, which was far away from where the party was going.

“Ethan, what was that?” Allison questioned him while she was

keeping an eye on him.

“What are you talking about?” He asked with confusion in his eyes.

“Don’t tell me any lies. Tell me what is going on in your head.”

“Allison, I wanted to talk to you about it.” He said with a lower tone.

at’s wrong with you, Ethan? What brought on that strange stare in ora’s direction? It has been brought to my attention that the way you behave in front of her is different. And the way you reacted last night, that was totally unexpected.”

“I am lost, Allison.” He let out and moved away from her.

She was stunned by his words. “Why?”

He Wened around and began to walk inside the garden. She followed

“Ethan, you are doing wrong. She is engaged to Ryan at this time.. How is it even possible for you to think about her at all?”

Ethan did not answer her questions. She sprinted over to catch him as his steps began to stumble, hoping to keep him from falling.

“You are drunk. Look at yourself. What you have made yourself in a . few days. You were never like this before.”

Ethan reached out and grasped her hand. He fell to his knees in front

of her.

Allison’s eyes widened.

He looked broken. She could see his glossy eyes. She could not recall ever having seen him cry, not even when he had come so close to losing his life in an accident. Even though he begged her for

forgiveness a lot of the time but tonight, he appeared to be a different person. He looked vulnerable.

She glanced at the hand that he was holding tightly. Almost instantly, she got down on her knees and demanded to know,

ked down at the floor. She could not be more shocked when aw tears rolling down his cheeks.

e cupped his cheeks and made him look at her. “Hey! Why are you crying?”

Though this man rejected her and then tried his best to cage her for him, he always supported her and made many efforts to win her heart. He never hurt her after promising that he would never hurt her

again.

Allison could not just let him leave in this situation without knowing th ason for his breakdown.

“I-I am sorry, Allison. I-I….” He paused and looked away from her, then said,

“I can’t continue being with you. I’m sorry, but I can’t marry you.”

Her hands froze on his cheeks.

What was there to be so sorry about? Didn’t she always tell him to. call off the wedding?

“Why can’t you?” She asked because she wanted to know the reason. She was afraid that it was connected to Elora in some way.

“My heart betrayed you by falling in love with someone else.” He replied and turned to look into her eyes.

She slowly let go of his cheeks, but he held her wrists tightly.

“No, don’t go. Listen to me. I tried. I always tried to be with you. I always tried to support you. I never stopped trying to find a way to make you forget about the rejection you felt. I believed that I loved you, which is something that I still feel I do, but…”

After pausing for a moment and drawing in a long breath, he added,

“Just like you, I lost my heart to someone else.”

“Is it Elora?” She asked calmly.

She was keeping her fingers crossed that it wouldn’t be Elora. Because Ryan would carry out his threat to destroy everything exactly as he described it if Ethan made even a single mistake.

“Yeah. It’s her.” He mumbled and then dipped his head once again.

Allison quickly yanked her hands free of his grasp and stood up after he attempted to restrain her.

H

ed his head to look at her.

“Are you out of your mind? Have you gone completely insane? She is going to become Ryan’s wife. They like each other. Ryan will kill you if he gets to know.” She said and placed her palm on her forehead. She was unable to even consider the possibility of what would happen.

“He knows.” Ethan said while smiling at her bitterly.

She regarded him with a frown. “He knows? Knows about what? Does. he know that you have feelings for the woman who will soon be his

Luna?”

Ethan closed his eyes as if thinking something. His eyes had turned red when he opened them again.

“You don’t want to stay with me. I am okay with that. But you can’t go to Ryan if I call off the wedding.”

She was surprised by his statement. “You are insane. One time, you say you love Elora now, but the next moment, you are telling me not to go to Ryan? Why are you doing this? Can’t you see because of one wrong decision, everyone’s lives have been turned upside down? On the night of Ryan’s birthday, you had the option of turning down the marriage proposal. You had the opportunity to discuss the relationship between Ryan and me with your father. But you went in the complete opposite direction. Now, when you see that he is happy with someone else, you are after his fiancee? You should be

ashamed of yourself, Ethan.”

Ethan gave a shake of the head and made an effort to stand up. This time, Allison did not help him.

“Leave it. How can I explain this to you, Allison? You will never understand me. I always wanted your good. But now I am feeling like I can’t do this anymore. My wolf doesn’t permit me to stay with you. I am afraid of myself. I don’t want my wolf to hurt you. Can’t you see hovalam controlling my wolf right now?”

Anson could see his eyes turning red to black, back and forth.

Allison was perplexed. Firstly, he was drunk. Secondly, she could not understand why he was explaining all of this to her when there was no need for it. It was always her who wanted to break the wedding and leave him anyway.

“I can only alert you, Ethan. Don’t mess with Ryan this time. Elora is.

his woma-”

“No, she is not. She is only mine.”

“What rubbish! You are not in a state to talk. You are babbling nonsense. I am leaving.”

She said that and turned around to leave, but his reply stopped her. “She is my woman, Allison. She is mine. My second chance. My mate

Chapter 168

Allison turned to him. She was too shocked to react to his words.

“What?”

Ethan nodded his head. “I am feeling broken inside each day I see her with him. I realized our bond the moment she came to the pack house.”

Allison recalled the day when Ryan had come to visit the pack. That day, she had seen Ethan behaving strangely. But that time, she thought he was jealous of Ryan and did not like that Ryan turned out to be so powerful.

‘So it was because he was feeling the mate bond?’ she thought.

“I tried to stay away from her. But the mate bond is something that can’t let me stay away. Her scent always pulled me toward her. I could stop my wolf before I rejected you. But this time, my wolf became out of control, and my heart reacted the same as well.” a

“Why didn’t you tell me about it all these times?”

“I thought I could handle myself. I did not want you to let go.”

Allinn tightened her fists as she stared at him.

“Why were you so adamant to be with me?”

“I can’t tell you why. I am not allowed to tell you.”

“What?” She asked and was taken aback.

What was the reason he was still thinking about it when he had already found his mate?

“I don’t want to make the same mistake again, Allison. Your hatred

was enough for me. I can’t live with more hatred. I am sorry.”

Allison did not know what to say. It was too much for her. She had no idea why fate was playing with them like this.

Allison was about to say that he should not do that either. But before that, she heard another voice from behind.

“Ethan”

Allison turned around and saw Elora coming towards them.

Allison parted her lips and asked,

“Do you know about it? The mate bond?”

“Yes, he knows.”

“Then why are you still together? Your mate is here.” She asked with a disappointed voice.

“All, can you please leave us alone for some time? I want to talk to Ethan privately.” Elora requested her.

Allison turned her head to Ethan and then back to Elora. She nodded at her and replied,

“Clear up all the problems between you. It would be better for both of you.”

Allison glanced at Ethan for the last time and left the garden, leaving

the two mates alone.

Elora stared at Ethan, who was looking somewhere else.

“Why did you tell her about our mate bond?” She asked and folded her

hands.

He turned around and began to walk. He wiped his face and responded,

“She has the right to know everything about me.”

“You still love her, don’t you?” She asked from behind.

Her question froze his legs. He turned to her and nodded at her.

“I do. I don’t want to lie to you. If I knew that she was not happy with me but still I tried to stay with her just to keep her safe, then yes I do

is a simple omega whom I wanted to make mine. But I lost her night. I let her go and break the cage.”

Elora’s ows shot up. “Let go?”

Ethan took a deep breath and approached her, which caused her to take a step back.

He held her hand and said,

“I don’t want you to leave, Elora. You are my mate. How can you get away from me?”

She was stunned. She tried to remove his hand from hers, but his

hand tightened on her wrist.

“Don’t go. Don’t leave me. I am a sinner who rejected my mate once. This time, can you help me to be a good person?”

She felt a pang in her heart. She averted his gaze and said,

“W-What are you saying?”

“Elora, don’t leave. I will tell everyone that we are mates. No one will oppose it if you agree with it. Don’t think about any reputations. If others get to know that we are mates, they will understand us.”

She pushed him. She frowned at him.

“Why do you want me to stay? Just because I am your mate?”

“I was going to tell you about it. But wanted to tell that to Allison. first

on, Allison. Your every word starts with her and ends you really love her this much, then why do you even decide ner? Stay with her. I am happy with Ryan.”

“You are not happy with Ryan. You can’t be happy without your mate.

The things he said infuriated her. She seized his hand, causing him to groan out loud in pain.

She was a hybrid. She possessed the abilities of a witch. Her entire being was brimming with a wide range of abilities and powers.

“What my mother said to me about you was absolutely correct. You. don’t deserve me.” Elora muttered and pushed him hard.

He fell to the ground. He felt that there was a power that pushed him onto the ground with force. He came back to his senses from his drunken state. He became completely sane.

“Your mother?” He asked with confusion and tried to sit up.

“Yes, my mother. The greatest witch in the world. Georgiana James.”

His eyes widened in shock. “G-Georgiana is your mother?”

“Yes, I am her daughter. And I am powerful like her as well.”

“Elora, you are misunderstanding me. I want you to be with me. Ryan is no-”

“Stop it.”

Elora did not let him talk. Her glowing green eyes were only getting dark. As if some powers were forcing her to misplace her mind, she

shook her head.

“Ryan is the master of my fate. He wants me to reject you. I will do

that.”

“What?” He asked and stood up with all of his strength.

When he tried to approach her, he felt an invisible wall between them, preventing him from going close to her. No matter how much he tried,

couldn’t get to her.

“Liora, listen to me. I need to tell you something.”

“I don’t want to hear anything from you.” She said and shook her head.

“It’s about us. It’s about your-”

She could not let him finish his sentence and stated,

“I, ELORA JAMES, A TRUE HYBRID, REJECT YOU ALPHA ETHAN AS.

MY MATE.”

Chapter 169

Allison came out of the garden. She was frightened for the future.

What she had just heard was something that could cause a clash between two brothers.

"He knows about it. Then why didn't he let Elora go?" She questioned herself as she made her way into the hallway.

She did a quick scan of the area.

'I think I should talk to him about it.' She thought and tried to find Ryan.

When her eyes found him, she was a little surprised. She saw Ryan talking with Alpha Neil.

She stood in a corner and did not go to disturb the father-son's conversation.

"Where were you?" She heard a voice.

She turned and replied, "Teresa, I was in the garden."

"The way you dragged Ethan like that! What happened?"

"Teresa, I am feeling scared."

Teresa wrapped her arm around Allison and rubbed her arm. "Why? Are you okay? Did your father continue to make an effort to exert his influence over you? Or is Ethan more adamant than ever about keeping you?"

Allison shook her head and responded,

"Tess, he confessed to me about his feelings."

The look of wrath on Teresa's face was clear. "That jerk still has the nerve to tell you he loves you after all the things he has realized?"

"No. He confessed that he loved Elora. Wait.... Did you just say he has realized? Did you know everything?" Allison asked with a shocked tone.

Teresa looked away from her but nodded her head.

"I was aware of that. Elora told me about it when she felt the bond. That's why I was always close to her every day to handle her."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"And what would you have done after learning it? Went to talk to them and try to matchmake? No, Allison. That's not how things go. They have their lives. If they are unable to feel anything for one another or to admit that feeling to one another, then there is nothing that can be done between them."

"Ethan said he loved her. What about Elora?"

"I have seen a glimpse of devotion in Elora's eyes for Ethan. I was shocked because I had seen her roaming around Ryan. But when she told me that Ethan was her mate, her heart started to move for him. And believe me, Allison. No matter how much you want someone else, when your mate comes toward you, you won't be able to resist him. That's how powerful a mate bond is."

"But you should have told me everything, Tess. You knew I was going to marry Ethan. What about my wedding? If I had not planned to back off, maybe I might have ended up marrying him.

Teresa heaved a sigh before releasing her grip on Allison's arms. She held her hand and said, "He will never let you marry Ethan. Do you ever wonder why he has come back at this particular time? He told you that he was waiting for you, didn't he? Do you really think he would let you go so easily? He is Alpha Ryan. I have witnessed the power that he carries in his pack. Every creature, be it a werewolf, a witch, or a hybrid, kneels down to him in reverence. With his power and abilities, he will never let you marry someone else."

Allison stared at her. "B-But he said he hates me, Tess."

"Hate or love, I think it's always you in his heart."

Allison cast a sidelong glance in the direction of Ryan, who was drinking, while nodding his head as if he were answering his father's question.

Suddenly, a breeze of serenity blew its way into her core.

"Don't worry. Everything is going to be fine." Teresa told her.

The way Ryan was talking with his father, it did not look like they were arguing about something.

"Can we really expect that?"

Teresa rubbed the back of her hands and replied,

"Let's see where fate will take us."

Allison fixed her eyes on Ryan and mumbled,

"I hope he will make everything right."

In the garden

Elora rejected Ethan as her mate. She saw him standing straight after hearing her rejection. He appeared to be in a state of disbelief as he peered at her.

His eyes went completely blank. When there is no suffering, there are no emotions. It was like he was frozen.

As soon as she realized that he was in perfect health, she retreated.

"I wish that we had never crossed paths, Ethan. I really miss the Elora I was before I came here." She said that, and a tear escaped from her eyes.

She turned around and left the garden without looking at him back for once.

When Elora walked out of the garden, Ethan finally let out the breath he had been holding. His body hit the ground with a thump as it dropped to the ground. He reached out and clutched his chest while clenching his hand over his white shirt.

After Elora said those words to him, he had the sensation that someone had stabbed him in the chest. However, he did not allow her to see the agony that was written all over his face.

Ethan let out a deep groan.

He was able to sense that blood was coming out of his nose. His wolf started to howl inside.

He felt his lungs were going to explode. The pain that he was experiencing was beyond his ability to bear. As a direct result of this, his entire body started to shake.

He was going through excruciating anguish that he could not endure any longer.

'Does it what rejection feels like?'

He knew no one could reject an alpha. Then, how did Elora reject him?

"Why is it feeling like I am going to die?" He mumbled as he stared at the open sky above him.

The feeling of someone killing your wolf surged inside him.

The outer edges of his eyes began to well up with tears. As if, one by one, his bones were breaking, he was lying in hell.

Would he die tonight? Was this his end?

Was it retribution for rejecting his mate once? Was that why his second mate rejected him?

He wanted to tell Elora something, but he could not get the opportunity.

Thinking that, he let out a gasp as his upper body rose into the air, and then it descended back to the ground. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth and soaked the white shirt he was wearing.

Something hit his mind, and it caused his eyes to widen.

He tried his best to link his mind with Wade but failed because his wolf was no longer reacting.

He made an effort to stand, but he failed.

The pain across his entire body was getting worse by the second. He felt like his brain and heart were about to explode at any moment.

With every passing second, his breath was getting slower.

When he sensed that everything around him was becoming darker, he took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

Chapter 170

While sitting on the bar, Max was informing Ryan about the pack. Meanwhile, Ryan’s eyes were fixed on the way Allison took Ethan. He could see Elora making her way in that direction.

“In my opinion, we shouldn’t put any stock in what Mr. Charles says. Even though he is reliable in his work, I have a sneaking suspicion about him.” Max said.

“Yeah, bro. I also feel the same. In fact, Colin sometimes warned me about him.” This was said by Vernon as he took sips from his drink.

“Ryan, are you paying attention to what I’m saying?” Max asked when he gave Ryan a shoulder pat.

“I am all ears.” He replied without moving his gaze.

Max shook his head and uttered, “We will talk about it later. You are not in a mood right now.”

Ryan did not respond to it. At that moment, his father approached

him.

“Would you mind giving me some time to talk to him?” His father said

to Beta Max and Theta Vernon.

After exchanging a glance with one another, Max and Vernon shook their heads in response to Alpha Neil.

“Of course not.” Max replied. Then he left the bar with Vernon, leaving. the father and son to have a quiet talk on their own.

Alpha Neil sat on a stool next to Ryan and ordered a drink.

Ryan ignored him totally while looking at the way, which led to the. harder area.

When he saw Allison coming out of the way, it caused a frown to form on his face. He removed his gaze from that location and shifted his attention to Alpha Neil.

Alpha Neil lifted his glass, and Ryan toasted with him. “Cheers, Alpha Neil.” Ryan said and sipped on his drink.

“Ryan, when will you stop calling me this? I am your dad. Call me dad.”

Ryan raised an eyebrow. “Sorry? Did I hear wrong?”

Alpha Neil quickly averted his eyes before speaking, saying,

“I came here to talk to you.”

About what?”

First, I want to congratulate you on your success. You have achieved a lot at this age. I am an unfortunate man who was not able to witness it in person.”

His voice was lower. Ryan sneered at him and shifted his eyes to the people around the hall.

*Unfortunate not to witness? What I remember is that you said you were an unfortunate father by having a son like me, Alpha Neil.” Ryan’s voice was full of mockery.

Alpha Neil looked at the young man sitting beside him. Even though. he was his son, he was never able to comprehend him. He never demonstrated his might to his father in any way. As a result, he

was unable to recognize his potential. Who could have predicted that he would become such a powerful Alpha?

“I heard what you said to Alpha Easton. So when you were leaving the hospital that day, you actually went to get his beta?”

When Ryan was drinking, there was a pause in his lips. He gave an. amused grin as he twisted his head to look at Alpha Neil.

“Not bad. You are not as foolish as I had thought.”

The sarcasm that his son had used made Alpha Neil laugh out loud.

Ryan kept his gaze fixed on him. It was the first time that he had ever seen his father laughing with him. It was awkward for him. He had never thought to have this type of conversation with him.

He averted his gaze and said,

“What did you want to talk about?”

“I have never treated you with respect when I have spoken to you. But your mother has always been a strong advocate for you. It was usually me who reprimanded her for siding with you in any argument. Don’t punish her like this. She is innocent here.”

Ryan’s attention was drawn to his mother, who was having a

conversation with Allison’s mother at that moment. She looked upset.

“Maybe she is an ideal wife, but she is not a good mother. Because I heard mothers love their children equally.”

“She loves you, Ryan. Two years ago, when you left the pack, she came dangerously close to losing her mental health. She required some time to mend her broken heart. She will die if you leave this

time.”

“Oh, are you serious? So tell me, what it is that you want from me. Are you suggesting that I abandon my realm and remain here with her? Or, if I may inquire, would you like for me to hand over the packs to your son?”

Alpha Neil shook his head as he heard him.

“No, son, I didn’t intend for you to think that.”

He looked at him with a frown. “Son? Which son are you talking about, Alpha Neil? The son, who you always disgraced? Have you

forgotten what it was that you told me earlier? I don’t deserve to be your son.” Ryan said while flashing a grin at him.

His remarks cut night through to the core of his father’s being

Alpha Neil was taken aback. He placed his glass on the counter and

muttered,

“I don’t know what to say. If you think I am greedy, then let me tell you. I don’t want anything from you. I thought I should talk to you since you are leaving. If my words ever hurt you, then I am feeling bad about it. I have realized that I should not have done that. I don’t know why you got so angry that night. I only wanted to celebrate your birthday. I know I should not have attached your brother’s

wedding announcement that night. It would have been better if I had done it on a different day. I feel regret for that.”

A dark laugh came out of Ryan’s throat. Some of the guests at the party thought the father and son were engaging in affectionate

conversation. However, they were unable to hear what they were saying to one another.

Ryan glanced at Allison, who was busy talking with Terrsa. He asked,

“Do you know what is more regretful than this?”

“What?”

“Seeing the girl you love standing with her head down in the arms of another man.”

His words astounded Alpha Neil. He followed his eyes and looked at Allison. He realized that Ryan was staring at Allison for a while. Neil could not be more shocked.

“What are you saying? She is your brother’s fiancee.”

“Because of you, I had to see that, Alpha Neil.” Ryan replied and turned to him.
