Ch. 181..185
Chapter 181
“Allison!”
When Teresa saw her best friend crying on the ground while kneeling, she was unable to hold back her need to rush up to her and comfort her.
On the other hand, Max took her by the hand and pulled her along with him.
“Max, let me
CO.” She said.
Max did not listen to her and began to drag her up the stairs.
Meanwhile, Georgiana and Elora were looking at Allison. They were standing a little far from the couch Ryan was sitting on.
Ryan’s eyes were fixed on Allison the entire time.
When Allison did not hear him, she raised her head and looked at him.
“Please?”
Ryan raised an eyebrow and asked,
“Why would I?”
“Ryan, that’s your family. Your father is in the war, fighting for this pack. My father is already injured. Who knows what will happen to him?”
“So you are worried for your dad.”
“No. Not only for my dad but also for everyone. This is my pack. I want my pack to be saved.”
“But this is not my pack. Why would I help you all?” He asked and inhaled smoke, then exhaled it the next moment.
She frowned at him. She was getting angry at his remarks.
“How can you say that? This is also your pack. Your brother is lying in bed. If he had been awake, he would have never let his father go to war alone. He was always concerned about his parents‘ lives. That’s why he tried to avoid wars.”
He scoffed when he heard her.
“Then your head Alpha is a cowardly man. Let me tell you the truth. He is not a leader but a follower who only works under the former Alpha. The Alpha, who avoids wars in fear of losing lives can’t be a leader but a mare pack member, who hides in his house in fear of danger.”
Allison closed her eyes as she realized that she could not make this man understand anything.
“So you won’t help?”
“There’s no reason for me to. Is there some kind of alliance that exists between the Black Moon pack and the Moonlight Crown pack? I can’t remember it.” He mocked her with his words.
She rose up slowly and looked directly into his eyes as she did so. She gave him a small nod and then continued,
13
“Don’t help then. Let your parents die in front of you, then regret this night for the rest of your life. You will mourn that you had a chance, but you could not save the people who gave you a chance to come to this world.”
”
“Stop lecturing me. I am not in the mood, Woman.”
His cold voice made her flinch. She took a few steps back before turning around to face the
entrance.
“I am an omega, but I will also fight for my pack until I die.” 1
Saying that she left the pack house. She dashed to the woodland that was close to the pack house, where she entered the forest and continued running.
In the meantime, Elora held Georgiana’s hand and took her to a corner.
“Mom, you will help them.”
“Are you mad? Do you think witches can help in a werewolf war? We don’t have any work there.”
“Then why did you tell Aunt Ella about going to the war?”
“I was thinking about something at the time.” She responded while casting a glance toward the door of Ethan’s room.
Elora was not a fool. After following her gaze, she became enraged at her mother.
“Mom, I can’t believe this. After saving him, how can you think like this?”
“What did I think?” Georgiana asked her daughter.
“You want to hurt him, don’t you?”
“Elora, my child. Don’t be so silly. Why would I?” She said and held Elora’s hand with a smile. Bur Elora stepped backward and warned her,
“Mom, if you do anything bad to him, I will see you.”
Georgiana grabbed her arm tightly and asked,
“What will you do to me? I am your mother, but look how you are talking to me so disrespectfully. It seemed like I spoiled you too much.”
Elora snatched her arm away from her mother’s hold and replied,
“I can do many things, Mom. This time, I will tell Ryan everything truly. I will tell him that you are the one who cut my wrist and let me die in pain so that he would come and save me.”
Georgiana’s eyes widened. She pressed her palm over her daughter’s mouth and scolded her.
“You have gone completely insane due to your love for that Ethan. Now, will you start to blackmail your own mother?”
Elora rolled her eyes and remained silent. She could not expect anything more from her mother than to emotionally blackmail her.
On the other side, Allison was frantically sprinting in the direction toward the border where the war was taking place.
She had to run long. She reached a point where she could see Ella and her mother, Joey, standing and crying.
They were surrounded by a large number of guards who prevented them from proceeding to the next region.
“Mom, Aunt!”
She went to them.
“Allison!”
They were surprised that she had come there.
“Go away. They will see you. You are an unmarked omega. It’s not good for you to be here.” Ella told her and wiped her eyes.
d no idea that she would do that.
She quickly entered the area, leaving them behind.
One of the guards yelled and tried to follow her to bring her back. “Catch her!”
Chapter 182
Allison evaded capture by the guards. She had a speed that allowed her to run. When she looked up and saw the view in front of her, she could not help but stop.
A small number of trees were consumed by the flames. If they were to spread, the blaze could consume the entire forest. She witnessed the fighters from her pack engaged in war, but it was clear that they were outmatched by their rival wolves.
She wanted to shift, but she thought it would only grab the attention of others since her wolf was white.
She was able to observe that not everyone had shifted. Half of the people shifted, and others remained in their human form.
A man brandished a wooden stake in an attempt to attack her. She instantly kicked on his lower half and used the opportunity to steal the stake out of his hand.
She did not know what gave her the bravery, but she pierced the man in the heart with the stake, and then she ran ahead to kill others.
She had never killed anyone before. So it was really unfamiliar and mournful for her. However, she would need to fight if she wanted to save herself and her pack.
They were not innocent people either.
She was taken aback by how well she could defend herself. She was unaware of her true fighting potential at the time. She was able to evade and kill a great number of attackers.
It was not a movie where she would not get a single scratch in any fight. In reality, she was injured in a few different places. But despite this, she continued to fight.
At one point, she noticed Beta Wade, she followed his direction, and found her father and Alpha Neil.
All of them were in their wolf form. Everyone was in their wolf form at that point. Because she was so preoccupied with finding them, she failed to remember that she needed to protect herself.
She felt a scratch on her right arm. Blood rushed out of her hand.
At that time, she saw all the pack fighters of the East Flow pack getting heavy over her pack fighters.
Alpha Easton was going to win the war.
Only a few people of the Moonlight Crown pack were alive, which did not give them winning because their head Alpha was already missing in the war. It would be declared that the head Alpha fled away out of the dread of the impending war.”
Allison cried when she spotted a few wolves circling over her father.
She made an effort to approach him, but another wolf blocked her path and began to claw her body.
She hissed in pain while trying to kill the wolf. The wolf was going to bite her leg in ant

attempt to separate it from the rest of her body.
However, at that precise time, a loud growl could be heard coming from the depths of the dark forest, which was now illuminated by an orange blaze.
The growl left everyone in complete shock. They halted and searched around for thé who had made the growling sound.
person
Everyone could make out a large number of silhouettes approaching from the opposite side. “Who are they?”
One of the pack fighters of the East Flow pack asked.
After a while, after they had begun to slaughter the wolves belonging to the Easy Flow pack, they yelled very loudly.
“THE BLACK MOON PACK HAS ALSO ATTACKED THE PACK!”
Allison was shocked to hear that.
Did he come to kill them? Because he clearly refused to help them when she asked for his help. The situation turned wild. The war became increasingly chaotic as each pack warrior belonging to the East Flow pack was killed one by one.
Allison stopped the flow of blood from her arm wound by pressing on it as she stood in the shade of a tree. She was already feeling hazy.
When she entered the war, she did not experience any dread for herself. But now that she was thinking about Ryan, she noted that her heart rate was slowing down.

It was well known throughout history just how mysterious Alpha he was. He had never been defeated in any battle. That meant he would kill everyone tonight.
“Please, Ryan, just please. Don’t do anything that will make you regret forever.” She said and cried.
She did not want to hide, but her hand was hurting. Due to the severe pain, she was unable to move. She tried to convince herself to get out and jump into the fight once again. She could make out the scratches and cuts made by the claws of other wolves on her body. They were oozing blood all over the place.
Instantaneously, she had a thought pop into her head.
Didn’t Georgiana mention to the other people that she would be coming as well? Where exactly did she go? Was she holding her breath, expecting Ryan to attack?
‘Is she going to help him kill all of us?‘ She thought.
‘What about Elora? Does she also want that?‘ She tried to find the answers as she looked at her
arm.
“No, I can not allow myself to be terrified of this wound. I have to fight back.” She told herself, and then she emerged from the cover of the tree’s shadow.
She started running while holding the wooden stake in an effort to protect herself, despite the
fact that her right arm was injured and she was able to strike.
She dodged a few but could not avoid a man’s attack. He was about to pierce a stake in her stomach when a hand stopped him.
She cautiously moved her head to look for the person who had saved her. When she realized who it was, she was completely taken aback.
She gasped and let out,
“ETHAN!”
GET
Chapter 183
She had a hard time believing the fact that Ethan was awake and standing next to her.
Was he really Ethan? Or was she merely having a dream? Did she have hallucinations at that moment?
Ethan killed the man and turned to her with a warm smile. “Are you okay?”
But he made a frowning face when his gaze landed on her arm,
When he woke up in the pack house and found himself there, everything was a jumble. He left for the war and came here. He realized that he could not shift, which really broke his heart. But he was an Alpha. How could he not fight back and run away? He jumped into the war without his wolf and started to fight like an Alpha.
“When did you wake up?” She inquired while maintaining her focus on him.
“Before a while.” After responding, he turned his attention to the pack of wolves that was closing in on them. He was successful in throwing them both to the ground and then snatching the stake out of Allison’s hand. He drove the spike deeper into the chest of the wolf. Allison’s eyes widened as she watched a wolf race for Ethan. However, a wolf with black and brown fur pounced on the other wolf and killed him.
Ethan turned to stare at the wolf that had rescued him. After a moment of silence, he spoke softly.
“Thanks, Ella.”
That time, Allison got to know that it was Ella. The hue of her wolf surprised her quite a bit. The hybrid did not possess the one–of–a–kind color. (2)
Ella veered off in a different direction and rushed ahead. Ethan was unable to prevent himself and gaze at her as she confidently took down a large number of wolves all by herself.
Both Ethan and Allison headed in the direction of their fathers. They stopped when they saw Alpha Easton. He had not shifted yet.
“Alpha Neil, I was told that your son has been ill. See? I decided to seize the opportunity and attack your pack. But I was unaware that your other son was still in this pack. But sadly, he can’t save his father now. Because you are under my control.”
Alpha Neil was about to go to him, but a few wolves captured him.
“DAD!”
When Ethan realized that his father was in danger, he let out a scream of rage.
The Moonlight Crown Pack immediately stopped fighting and turned around with surprised expressions on their faces. When they looked up and saw their Alpha standing in front of them, they could not believe what they were seeing.
The adversarial warriors saw an opportunity to attack them and took advantage of it.
“Ethan! You have woken up! Son, why are you here? Go back.” Alpha Neil said in the mind link.
“Ethan!” Beta Wade was in the same state of shock
“Get away from my dad.” Ethan yelled in Alpha Easton’s direction.
Alpha Easton laughed at him. “What brazen behavior you have! I’ve heard that you have a lot of fighting skills. Where exactly is your field of expertise? Why didn’t you just shift? Or have you perhaps lost it?”
“Leave my Dad.” Ethan repeated it again.
“A few years ago, I made an attempt to take your life, but at that point, your brother was able to protect you from me. But tonight, he himself has sent his troops to slay each and every one
now of you. How do you feel about it? Who will save you He just made my victory that much easier.”
The entire war started over again, except this time, every official, Alpha Neil, and Glen were captured by the wolves of the rival pack.
From both sides, a few men seized Ethan and Allison. Ethan glared at them and tried to move because his wolf was not reacting to him.
Alpha Easton was unable to contain his amusement as he watched them struggle. However, his laughter could not last for very long.
His smile froze when he heard a growl. When he noticed a man coming toward them, all of the color in his face immediately faded away.
Nobody tried to harm him because they were aware that doing so would only result in their own deaths.
“Ryan?”
Allison whispered to herself as she stared at him. She tried to break free herself when a few men grabbed his arms.
“What are you doing here?” Alpha Easton asked while furrowing his brow.
“Come on, East. Is this a place to have chit–chat? I was wondering if this is how you win other packs, Ryan asked while sweeping his gaze over everyone with his sharp eyes. There were four formidable wolves standing behind him, indicating that they were his officials.
Allison observed that there was an immense amount of blood covering Ryan’s body. But it was not his blood; it was the blood of the other wolves who were trying to get close to him.
.וולו
“All right, Ryan, how about we make a deal?”
“Deal? Interesting.” When he lifted his hand, his wolves immediately stopped fighting with one another. Easton’s sides were also doing the same. But the Moonlight Crown pack did not have many pack fighters in the war at this time.
“Let me kill this father and son, and then we will divide the pack amongst ourselves. What’s to say?”
Ryan raised a brow and nodded his head.
“Not a bad idea.!!
Allison’s eyes widened, “Ryan, how can you say that? It’s your own blood and bones. Your
father and brother. Will you let him kill them?” She yelled even though she was crying.
Ryan gave her a stern look, signaling for her to shut her mouth. Ethan appeared unruffled and as though he had nothing else to say. In the meantime, Alpha Neil had a disappointed look on- his face as he stared at his son, Ryan.
At that time, Ella’s voice could be heard reverberating across the forest as she reached there.
“DON’T KILL THEM.”
Chapter 184
“Mom, why are you here?” Ethan questioned his mother as she was being held captive by a group of wolves. Joey was also present, but she quickly shifted and rushed to Glen.
Allison was unable to cry any longer. She had the impression that everything was beyond fixing. Everything was beginning to slip through her fingers, as well as her mind.
“DON’T TOUCH MY MOM.” Ethan yelled at the wolves in an angry manner.
“Calm yourself down, Alpha Boy. We hold no ill will or resentment toward noble ladies. We are simply interested in taking your head, and more specifically, that of your father.” Alpha Easton remarked to Neil while maintaining her sneer.
“You killed my father in a war. I didn’t forget that. You gained the support of our pack members in order to oppose him simply due to the fact that you were not a fan of the way in which he was leading the pack. After that, when you attacked the pack, everyone joined in to assist you in killing him. You can never earn my forgiveness. Your beloved son will be killed right in front of your very eyes. Simply sit tight and keep an eye out till it’s your number.” Alpha Easton was about to approach Ethan when he felt a hand grip his shoulder from behind. This prevented him from going to Ethan.
“Why are you in such a hurry, my old buddy?” Ryan’s dark voice came to everyone’s ears. Alpha Easton slowly turned to him and asked,
“Didn’t we make a deal?”
“Did I just say that I agree?”
“Rya-”
Alpha Easton got interrupted by a punch and fell to the ground. Everyone shifted their attention to him.
They realized that his face had been pierced. When they switched their attention to Ryan’s hand, they noticed that he was holding something in his fingers. It was the same as if four razor–sharp knives were brought together.
“Four silver knives!” Easton exclaimed. When Easton saw what Ryan was holding in his palm, he was taken aback and astonished. He realized that his face was beginning numb.
O go
The moment the East Flow packs noticed that their Alpha was being attacked, they resumed the battle.
One of the wolves rushed to Ryan.
“Oh, Beta Ramon! Instead of sending you a warning, I should have killed you that night.” Ryan muttered.
A few wolves joined Beta Ramon as well, and all of them were officials working for Alpha Easton.
The pack warriors of the East Flow pack were the current target of Ryan’s officials. They were busy killing the pack fighters of the East Flow pack.
Ryan shoved away all of the wolves that were approaching him and rushed to the direction of Ramon. When Ramon jumped on Ryan, both of them fell to the ground.
A painful growl came out from their direction.
“RYAN!”
Allison let out a piercing scream. She cried out loudly. Fear began to quicken the pace of her heartbeat, and she felt her stomach turn. She was able to make out Ryan’s body underneath Ramon. During her grief, she had the sensation that she was going to die. She thought that Beta Ramon had killed him.
Every one of the Moonlight Crown Pack was shocked.
Because Beta Ramon was in his wolf form at the time, his body hovered above Ryan. Everyone thought the growl came from Ryan.
But their mouths dropped open in surprise when they watched Ryan push Beta Ramon’s body away from him.
What shocked them was the heart in Ryan’s hand.
He ripped Beta Ramon’s heart out of his chest with his bare hands!
“I knew you would attack one day. Because of you, I had to spend quite some time in this pack. But you took a long time. As you can see, the person you are hunting has even recovered from death. You should have come before he woke up.” Ryan said and turned to Easton, who was now a little far from him.
Easton was unmoved. The cuts on his face had a burned appearance to them.
Ryan twisted his head to the right and then to the left. The sounds of bones cracking reached ears around him.
“Ryan, you have always protected your family without letting them know. Because of you, no one has ever had the courage to attack this pack. But not any longer.”
Saying that, Alpha Easton shifted and rushed to Alpha Neil to kill him.
“DAD!”
“NEIL!”
an
There was echo of Ethan and Ella’s screams. Alpha Neil prepared to draw his final breath and closed his eyes when he realized that there was no way for him to survive.
But the attack never came to him.
With a ground shaking growl, a black giant wolf shifted and stopped Alpha Easton before he could reach Neil.
Alpha Easton’s eyes widened as he saw the giant wolf. It was impossible for him to accept that it was Ryan.
The pair of orange eyes came dangerously close to taking his life. He forgot everything and wanted to ask forgiveness as he recognized Ryan’s real identity.
But Ryan did not give him any chance to apologize because, before that, he detached his head
from his body, which caused it to roll down to Alpha Neil’s legs.
Everyone was frightened, but at the same time, they were compelled to feel numb as they looked at what had just happened.
Ryan looked at everyone and raised his head to look at the moon, which came out of the cloud just to give shine to its favorite creature.
He howled loudly.
Each and everyone’s knees were shaken by it. His scent made them feel inferior and forced them to submit. They fell on their knees, whether they were in human form or their wolf form.
Allison was shocked from the moment Ryan shifted. Her eyes never left him when she saw him killing the enemy with just a single move.
His scent also made her fall on her knees, but all of those were not the reason for her shock.
Tears rolled down her cheeks as she mumbled,
Chapter 185
Everyone was gazing at Ryan with shocked eyes.
One of them spoke out,
“A True Blood!”
Ethan was staring at Ryan. His eyes were focused on him. He was also feeling submissive toward him.
While sitting on his knees, he remembered the night of Ryan’s birthday. He had told him about it that night.
“Don’t be so arrogant about your wolf, Alpha Ethan.”
He leaned close to him and whispered,
“Because if I shift, no one here can stay on their feet. You will have to bow to me, and I will destroy everything in front of your eyes.”
Ethan shifted his eyes to everyone around them. Indeed, there was not a single person who stayed on their feet. Everyone had to bow to Ryan when he shifted.
He turned his attention to Ryan once again. His eyes met his..
There was a slight smile scrambled on Ethan’s lips as he spoke out loudly.
“All hail to the new Alpha of the Moonlight Crown Pack, Alpha Ryan.”
Everyone around them started to howl in cheers.
Since he attacked the pack and killed the enemy, and the Moonlight Crown pack’s Alpha was kneeling before him and surrendering himself, the war was won by the Black Moon pack.
Ryan’s family was already surprised, including Glen and Joey. But no one noticed or heard Allison.
She was still in perplexity. She could not believe that Ryan was her mate.
However, Ryan did not give a glance at her for once. Could he not feel the mate bond?
Allison felt that life played a very dirty game with her. If she knew that Ryan was her mate, everything would not have turned out like this between them.
She was stunned that he was a true blood alpha. She recalled the painting she had seen in the art gallery.
She remembered what the elder witch had told her. He was the almighty Alpha, to whom everyone bowed to show respect and felt submissive before him. He gave shadows to the
witches.
Now, Allison could understand why Georgiana or that older witch woman always bowed to him. It was not because he was a giant pack’s Alpha but because of his rank. He was true blood!..
Beta Max rushed to Ryan and said something in their mind link.
Ryan growled and linked with every wolf around him.
It was the first time his pack members would hear him through à mind link
“Everyone go
back.
His voice came out as an order. Everyone stood up and bowed to him, then left for their houses. All the Black Moon pack’s warriors left for their own pack.
Ryan did not shift back. He was about to pass his father, but he stopped when he saw his father bow his head on the floor before him.
It really startled others. It was a respectful act toward a head Alpha, but at the same time, doing that was like losing self–respect for the person if he was a head Alpha once.
Ryan’s brows shot up when he saw his father bowing in front of him. He gazed at him and said in his mind link,
“Raise.”
But his father did not stand up, as if he did not want to.
“Neil, why are you doing this? No matter what rank he is, he is still your son.” Ella said to Neil and hurried to him.
Ryan looked away from them and left the forest without glancing at anyone.
The war had finally ended.
After a while, the fire department arrived to put out the blaze that was consuming the trees in
the forest.
One by one, everyone left for the pack house. When it was only Allison and Ethan left, she turned her head to Ethan and noticed him.
He was still kneeling, just like her. He was looking somewhere, as if he were lost in thought.
Allison had no energy to ask him anything. She was already drained with thoughts. She stood up slowly and said,
“L–Let’s go, Ethan.”
Ethan nodded his head and shot on his feet. He turned to her and smiled.
“Are you happy?”
“Huh?”
She thought Ethan was taunting her because Ryan had become the head Alpha. “I–L…”
“You should be. He deserves it.” Ethan let it out in a low tone and headed on the way back to the pack house.
Allison stared at his back. She frowned when she thought about him. Why did he not shift tonight? Why did he announce the win for Ryan without trying to fight against him? However, it was obvious. Ryan’s winning was clear. No one could win against him.
When Allison reached the pack house, she saw no one in the living room. She understood that everyone had left for their own rooms. The whole pack house was turned into a mess because of the fear of war.
She went to the guest room and took a shower. Her wounds were hurting, and her heart froze to feel that.
When she came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, she heard noises coming from outside.
She left the room and went to the living room. She stopped her steps when she noticed Alpha Neil was kneeling in front of Ryan. Everyone was shifted back, and no one was in their wolf form.
“Why are you doing this? Do you want to get back my new pack?” Ryan asked him with a frown.
Alpha Neil shook his head. He joined his hands in front of him and started to speak.
“I have always ignored you and your abilities. Never did I want to learn what was on your mind. You have always protected my pack behind my back, but here I was, always taunting you for béhaving rudely with me. From childhood, you wanted the parents who would be with you always, but we failed to divide our love between our sons equally. We should have thought about you. But we could not be the perfect parents for you. I am kneeling before you, not because you won my pack or saved my life. I am groveling before you in order to seek your pardon.
We know we can’t give you back your childhood, but don’t break your relationship with your parents. We are getting old. Don’t punish us like this.
Forgive us, my son.
