Ch. 31..40
Chapter 31
“That means you will have to spend some time with Ethan from now on if you want to recover your wolf.”
Allison lay down on the bed. She closed her eyes.
“I don’t want it, Teresa.”
“I have just seen some pictures. They are saying something else huh.” She waved her phone close to Allison’s face.
Allison opened her eyes and rolled them.
“He asked me for forgiveness.”
“What?”
“Yeah.”
“You didn’t say that to me.”
“How can I? You were not at the school.”
“Tell me what happened. Tell me everything.”
Allison sat up and told her about everything. Including what happened with Ryan.
“You mean Alpha Ethan is apologizing to you and wishes to earn your forgiveness.”
“Yeah.”
“And his brother Ryan tried to get close to you. You almost let him kiss you?”
“Y-Yeah.”
“THAT BASTARD!”

Allison sighed. She knew she would get this reaction.
“Allison, stay away from him. I am warning you. He is a playboy.”
“I am not that close to him either. But it’s just I don’t know what is going wrong with me.”
“Nothing is happening. He is using his charms on you.”
“His charms?”
“Yes, his charms. He is using his tricks to get you. You know how Playboys usually use tricks to trap girls. He is doing that.”
“Really?” Allison asked and glanced at the blank wall.
“Yeah, Honey. Come here. I will protect you from him. He is not good for you.” Teresa pouted and hugged her as if Allison was a kid.
“Whatever. Drop this topic. Tell me about you. Are you still in contact with that Max?”
Teresa was silent. Allison looked at her.
“What? Do you really believe him?”
“I don’t think he is like Ryan. Ryan came from abroad but Max was always here. We saw him before. He is a good boy.”
“Wait a minute. When did this happen? How long have you been observing him?”
“Just a few years.”
“Oh my god!! You didn’t tell me!”
“I was confused. He was just a crush. I thought I would never get to talk to him, you know. If the chance is so low then why would I dream of it? So I didn’t tell you.”
26
Allison nodded her head. “If you really like him. Then please be careful, okay? I don’t want you to end up like me. Your birthday is also coming.”
“I will wait for my mate. I know Max does not like me. We are just
friends.”
“But you like him.”
“As you say, I can’t feel the pain like you. So it would be better if I wait for my fate.”
Allison smiled. “You are not foolish like your best friend.”
They talked for hours. Allison had lunch at Teresa’s house. Teresa’s mother called Allison’s mother and told her that Allison would be at their house till evening.
“I am so sorry, Hailey. She can’t.”
“Why Joey?”
“Allison has to go to the pack house”
Teresa’s mother was stunned. “Pack house? Is everything okay?”
“Yeah, everything is okay. But she has to join the training course from today.”
“It’s a nice thing. Don’t worry I will send her soon.”
“Thanks a lot, Hailey. Let’s meet one day and talk more peacefully.”
“Yeah, you are right. It’s been a long time since we have seen each other.”
They talked for a while then Teresa’s mother went to Teresa’s room.
“Allison, you have to go now. Your mother told me you have to go to the pack house.”
“Pack house?”
Allison almost forgot about training. But she planned to cancel it.
“It’s okay, I can go tomorro-”
“NO!”
Teresa spoke out loudly.
Allison turned to her. Teresa smiled at her awkwardly.
“You have to go, remember? You have to go. Your wolf wants to train. Am I right?”
Teresa gestured to her in front of her mother and tried to remind Allison about her wolf.
Allison understood what she was saying. She nodded her head. “Oh, yeah. My wolf… wants to go training.”
She said goodbye to Teresa and her mother then left the house.
She took a cab to go to the pack house directly. When she arrived in the area, it was already afternoon.
She paid the driver and did not get out of the cab immediately. She took a deep breath.
“Madam, we are here. You can-”
“I know I know. I am leaving.”
She got down and headed to the pack house. The pack house’s areal was really big. No one could enter any car without Alpha’s
permission. So she could not take the cab inside.
When she reached the pack house, guards recognized her and smiled at her, she smiled back at them.
They were old guards. They had known her since she was a child.
She entered the pack house, Luna was sitting on the couch, talking with someone on her phone.
When she saw Allison she stood up.
“Yes, yes. She is here. Now let me talk to her
Your time is over.” She
chuckled and hung on.
“Come here, Dear. I was just talking to your mother.”
Allison smiled and walked to her. She felt awkward coming here alone. She always came with her mother. She just came here last night. Now again she came back.
“I came here for training, Luna.”
“I know that. Take a rest first then go to the training hall.”
“No, it’s okay. I am totally fine to go there.”
“As you wish. But don’t think of going back before dinner.”
“Dinner? It would be too late.”
“One of our drivers will send you home. So no worries.”
Allison could not deny her. She nodded and headed to the training hall.
The pack was enormous, like a palace. There was a pair of stairs that led to going upstairs and then connected together. It was a duplex bungalow.
Inside the house, there were numerous hall rooms, including a
ballroom.
She entered the training area. She expected a large number of pack fighters to train there.
However, she was shocked to see that there was no one in the
training hall. She took a step forward to have a look around. But she came to a halt as she heard Ethan’s voice from behind her.
“Welcome to your first day of training.”
Chapter 32
“Welcome to your first day of training.”
She turned around. Ethan was grinning at her.
He was in his training clothes. His black training pants and white skin. tight t-shirt could grab anyone’s attention. His muscles were visible in that t-shirt.
Allison almost lost in his good looks but then she controlled her heart.
He walked to her. “You came late. I thought you would be on time.”
She averted her gaze from him and looked around the massive hall.
“I was busy. Where is everyone?”
“I gave them leave.”
She was stunned. “Leave?”
“Yeah, I thought it was your first day. So you need some privacy since you are shy.”
She glared at him. “I am not shy.”
“Will see.” He replied and headed to another room. Allison did not
know if she should follow him or not.
She followed him. They arrived in a large room. It was similar to a locker room, except it was a place where everyone came to change
their clothes.
He went to the large closet and opened one of the drawers. He pulled
out a black cloth.
“Here are your training clothes. Change your clothes. Come to the hall now. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Allison nodded
added and exited the room. It
was om.
People
gathered here after training to take a shower to eliminate sweat from their bodies.
She was dressed in a black T-shirt and cargo pants. Those made her
feel at ease.
She went to the training room.
She noticed Ethan drawing a line with white chalk. He halted when he
turned his head to her.
“Let’s get started,” Allison remarked, approaching him.
He stood up and nodded.
By the way, you look good in these clothes.” Ethan said as his gaze traveled to her body. He had never thought her body would be like this. So perfect and beautiful. The curves of the upper body were visible to him.
He averted his gaze so as not to make her feel uncomfortable wit his skimming eyes.
“Stand on the opposite side of the line.”
Allison attempted to follow his instructions. He demonstrated some warm-up movements to her.
“How can I possibly do that?” Allison inquired when she noticed how neatly he stretched out one leg on the ground while bending the other.
“You certainly can. Just give it a shot.”
“I am trying.”
“No, it’s not like that.”
He spoke up and approached her. He sat alongside her and pushed her leg, which was at its limit.
“Wait, what are you doing? It hurts.”
“Assisting you in preparing for a perfect fight. Legs are the most important body part for any fight. So concentrate on your legs.”
When Allison clenched her eyes hard to bear the pain, Ethan gazed at her. She placed her palm on his shoulder and fist-cuffed his t-shirt.
“You are going to kill me today. My knees are in excruciating pain.”
Ethan did not respond to her. He was staring at her. He could see her clearly and very closely.
She was stunningly attractive, with flawless skin.
Why hadn’t he looked at her this way before?
Or did he lack the confidence to do so?
Allison felt his hand moving from her knee to her thigh. She jerked back and opened her eyes.
“What exactly are you doing?”
Ethan averted his attention from her and rose up as he heard her
query.
“Let’s do this right now.”
He moved back and began to stretch his hands. Allison slowly stood up and followed his moves.
Ethan taught her some fighting techniques. They were all defensive
moves.
“You are free to use them whenever you are in danger, okay?”
Allison nodded and concentrated on her exercises. She also desired
to learn to fight. She wanted to defend herself on her own.
They practiced for two hours. They were drenched in sweat.
“You can shower and put on a bathrobe. You are free to wear your
attire.”
“I’m going to wear the clothes I was wearing before this training.”
“Sure.”
Ethan walked to the restroom to take a shower.
Allison punched the air behind him as if she were pounding him.
He turned around at that point. In her astonished state, she froze.
He frowned at her unmoved hand in the air. She glanced at her hand slowly and immediately moved down.
“W-Well, I-I was-I was trying out the moves.”
“Hmm”
He turned and started to walk again. She sighed and shook her head.
But she could not see the faint smile on his lips.
Allison took a shower and changed into her clothes which were blue jeans and a black top.
She came out of the shower and rubbed her hair. Ethan was already out so he waited for her outside.
When she went out of the training hall she saw him talking with. someone on the phone.
He glanced at her and hung up. He approached her.
“You look fresh.” He murmured while looking at her wet hair.
Allison did not respond to him. She made her
She decided to return right away. There was
way to the pack house. Still time for dinner. She
would eat dinner with her parents at home.
“How was your training?” Luna Ella asked when she saw her entering the pack house.
“Good, Luna.”
“That’s satisfactory. Your hair is wet”
“Yeah, I took a shower.”
“You will catch a cold. Go upstairs and dry your hair.”
“Okay.”
She made her way upstairs carefully. She went through the first room, which was Ethan’s. He might go to his room now, so she did not go there.
There were two further rooms. One of them, she remembered, was n, she remembered, was the guest room. But she was unable to recall which one. As a result, she headed to the last room in the
corner.
When she opened the door, she noticed the room was dark. She
turned on the lights, and the room brightened.
The room was painted in black and white. On the right side, there was a king-sized bed. A large window next to it. Many black-colored
pieces of furniture were scattered across the room.
“The room has changed a lot in two years.” She said to herself.
She needed to use the restroom to fetch a hair dryer. But her gaze was drawn to the bedside table. There was a photograph of a boy and
his parents.
She recognized the young boy. Did she mistakenly come to his room?
She was about to turn to leave the room but paused when she heard
the boy’s voice.
“What are you doing in my room?”
Chapter 33
“What are you doing in my room?”
Allison turned around. Ryan was leaning in his door while folding his arms against his chest.
The door was closed! When did he come and close the door? She did
not hear any noise.
“I came to take..” She paused when she saw something on his white
shirt.
“To take what?” He asked.
Her eyes were on his shirt only. There was a mark of a red lipstick inch down from the collar of his shirt. It was visible. Not only her, but also anybody could notice it.
Allison remembered what would have happened between them in the
morning.
They might have kissed if he had not moved away from her.
How could she do that? Had she lost her mind?
He came back to his home after doing dirty things with another girl. As he always did.
Allison looked away and replied,
“I mistakenly came here.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.” She declared and walked to the door.
However, he was standing there at the door. If she wanted to go, she
had to move him.
715
“How can you mistakenly come to a man’s room? Not only did you come to my room, but you also had a shower.”
She looked at him and shook her head.
“I didn’t take a shower here. Let me go, I have to go to Luna.”
Ryan did not know why she came to his house or what she was doing
in his room but by looking at her face, he could say she was not feeling good here.
“Sure.” He moved aside from the door. Allison touched the doorknob.
“I heard what happened today in school.” Allison turned her head to
him.
“About the pictures.” He enlightened the fact he was talking about.
“Yeah. I don’t know who clicked them and uploaded such a fake post.”
“I must say. You two look good together. And what is fake? You can’t say any of that is a fake picture. You two were undoubtedly this clos last night.”
She turned to the door and nodded. “Yeah.”
She did not need to explain anything to him. He was no one to get any justification from her. She opened the door and left his room.
She made her way downstairs and looked for Luna Ella.
“You haven’t dried your hair yet? Come with me.”
Luna Ella took her to her room when she heard she mistakenly went
to Ryan’s room.
Allison entered the master bedroom. It was downstairs in the left side corner. The bedroom was having all the advantages of broad spaces. So much furniture was there but it still looked classy.
Luna sat on the bed and Allison sat on the tool in front of the dressing table.
“The bedroom is ours for a few days. After the coronation, Ethan will
shift here.” Luna Ella said.
Allison heard her while drying her hair.
“I hope he will get the best Luna. Because if a Luna supports her Alpha wholeheartedly, he can do anything.”
Allison smiled at her. “It must feel really good to be Luna. Everything is here for you.”
Luna Ella chuckled. “It’s not so easy, dear. A Luna had to bear pain too. If the Luna is not strong, the Alpha can be in danger. Because his rivals can attack her to get the pack. The Alpha will be helpless at that moment. He will lose everything at the same time.”
Allison lowered her head. She remembered what Ethan told her in the
time of rejection. He was doing that for his people, for his pack.
Hearing Luna Ella, she suddenly felt Ethan took the decision for hist people unquestionably. He was only thinking of his pack and its safety.
“But a low ranked Luna can be like other powerful Lunas too, If her Alpha supported her wholeheartedly”
Allison looked at Luna Ella. She was smiling at her. Allison could not
understand the reason behind her smile. But she nodded at her.
“That means, A Luna and An Alpha are part and parcel to each other. If you support him and he will support you back, you can achieve everything together.”
“Yeah.” Allison mumbled.
Allison looked at her hair. It was done.
“Luna, i want to go home.”
“Of course, you will. But not before having dinner with us. Let’s go, dinner is ready.”
Allison could not refuse her. She went to the dining hall with her.
She saw Alpha Neil was already there. He was in his office all day long. When the maids called him for dinner, he came to have dinner
with everyone.
Allison glanced at the right side of Alpha Neil. Ethan and Ryan were sitting there.
Alpha Neil saw her and smiled. She smiled back and bowed to him.
Luna Ella sat on the left side of Alpha Neil and Allison sat beside
Luna Ella.
In that position, she was facing Ryan, he was in her opposite seat.
She did not look at any Iversen brother.
“Hello, my child. How are you?” Alpha Neil said to Allison.
“Fine, Alpha. What about you?”
“Busy at work. There is so much work before giving my responsibility to the next head Alpha.”
Allison nodded and glanced at Ethan. He was looking at his plate.
Everyone started to eat quietly.
Suddenly Alpha Neil asked,
“How was your training today?”
Allison looked at him and nodded her head. “It was good, Alpha.”
“Just good?”
“V-Very good.”
Alpha Neil chuckled at her answer.
“What training?”
Ryan’s voice came to her ear from her opposite seat.
Luna Ella replied, “Today was the first day that Allison began her training. I believe she will learn everything soon.”
“Of course, she will.” Ethan spoke out with an assuring tone.
Allison blushed while looking at her food. Everyone was praising her too much. She was not even strong. But she needed some inspiration so it was a good thing for her.
Alpha Neil let out,
“How can she not learn properly when the future Alpha himself will train her every day?”
Allison could feel a gaze on her. She lifted up her head and saw Ryan looking at her. His eyes were cold. She could feel herself frozen in her
seat.
She could not help but think, ‘What’s wrong with him?’
Chapter 34
“Teach her every move that royal wolves use in battle, Ethan. I want Allison to grow into a good fighter.” Alpha Neil stated while chewing
his supper.
Ethan gave a nod. “Don’t be worried, Dad. I will.” While glancing at Allison, he responded.
Allison was looking at Ryan, then at Ethan. Ryan was furious, but
Ethan’s eyes were soft on her.
She turned her gaze from them and concentrated on her food. She was unwilling to hear anything further about fighting or training.
Ryan grinned at Alpha Neil and twisted his head to Ethan. “I thought an Alpha was supposed to assist the current Alpha before seizing control of the pack? It appears that our future Alpha is enjoying his
leisure time.”
Ethan turned to face him and stared him in the eyes.
“Am I completely wrong, Alpha Ethan?” Ryan rolled out his name sarcastically with rank.
Ethan gave him a friendly smile. “Yes, you are wrong, brother. I don’t have the free time to live my life by going to clubs and throwing parties.”
Ryan rolled his eyes. “What makes you spend your precious time on training an Omega? Don’t you have a bunch of pack fighters to train them?”
“Well, our current Gamma is doing that. After him, my gamma will take over the job. But how can I describe that to you? You can’t understand the royal jobs you know.”
Ryan scoffed at him as if he did not feel any insult from Ethan’s
words.
“Most importantly, no matter how busy I am, I am always there for my family. Allison is Beta Glen’s daughter. So she is a member of our family too. I am delighted to devote my time to her. What does it matter if she is an omega? I’m going to train her like an Alpha she-
wolf.”
Everyone was staring at the two brothers, who were locked in a
staredown.
Allison had no idea what was going on. The person who first encouraged her is now discussing her rank. And the other, who rejected her because of her rank, tried to make her powerful?
“Stop talking and eat quietly.” Alpha Neil spoke out with a cold tone.
Ethan and Ryan were still glaring at each other as if, at any moment, they would end up fighting.
“What did your father say? Didn’t you both hear him? Focus on you meal.” Luna Ella said it in the same icy tone.
Allison was taken aback by her demeanor. Luna Ella’s gentle side had always been apparent to her. She was able to glimpse her dominant side today. She was a Luna, as domineering as her Alpha.
However, she noticed something in the eyes of Alpha Neil and Luna Ella. That was terror. They were scared that Ethan and Ryan would fight to the death.
Ethan and Ryan both looked away from each other after hearing their mother’s voice.
Ryan stood up from his seat. Luna Ella looked at him.
“Where are you going? You can’t leave without finishing your food.”
“I’m done.” Ryan replied.
His gaze was fixed on Allison. At that moment, Allison also looked at
him.
Then Ryan looked away and left the dining room in a bad mood.
The atmosphere was silent. Alpha Neil glanced at Allison.
“He is an uncivilized young man. Don’t mind his words.”
Allison gave a nod. She decided it would be best if she went back home as soon as possible.
She waited for Alpha Neil and Luna Ella to finish their dinner after she finished hers. It would be impolite for her to leave like this.
Later, everyone went to the living room. Allison spoke out to them,
“I think I should leave now.”
Alpha Neil nodded his head. “Okay. He turned to Ethan and ordered him,
“Go and drop her off at home.”
“Okay, Dad.” Ethan stood up and was about to go out when Allison stopped him,
“No need. Thank you. I can go back by myself.”
“No, you can’t. It’s already late. I can’t let you go alone at this time.”
Ethan let out.
Alpha Neil and Luna Ella both saw how Ethan behaved with her. They
looked at each other and smiled.
Luna Ella cleared her throat. “It’s okay, Allison. He is a good driver. He will drive the whole pack soon. You can trust your life with him.”
Allison felt like laughing inside her mind. ‘Trust my life with him? He almost killed me,” she thought.
Ethan did not listen to her. “I am going to take out my car. Come outside.”
Allison bowed to Alpha and Luna, then followed Ethan outside.
He went to the parking lot to take out his car while Allison waited for
him outside.
“So he is going to train you daily.”
She heard Ryan’s voice. She turned around and saw him coming to her. It looked like he was outside all the time.
“Yeah,” Allison replied simply.
He nodded his head as if calming himself from something then said,
“I am just curious.”
“About what?”
“How can you be so shameless?”
“Pardon?” Allison was startled by his words.
He glared at her. “Didn’t he reject you? Then why are you wasting time on him? Why are you even talking with him?”
She stared at him for a few seconds, then replied,
“Ryan Iversen, firstly, you are not my dad. So please stop telling me what I should do or not do. Secondly, just because you know about the rejection, you can not mock me about it all the time.
And lastly, he apologized to me. He was helpless. He thought more about his pack than his mate. So I can not do anything with him.”
“He was so right. You don’t deserve him. I can’t believe I even gave you a suggestion to move on. Because all you can do is roam around the head Alpha without even thinking about your self- respect. Wait a minute, do you even have any self-respect?”
Allison was stunned. She had never thought Ryan would talk to her like that. Because all the time, he only motivated her.
He was right that she should not be with Ethan, but why was he humiliating her like that?
She needed Ethan, at least until she got her wolf back. Ryan just misunderstood her.
She took a deep breath. Before she could say anything, Ethan’s voice came from behind.
“How dare you talk to her like that?”
Chapter 35
Ethan came to them and glared at Ryan.
“Why are you talking so rudely to her?”
Ryan’s eyes were still on Allison.
She was speechless. She did not think Ethan would ever come to defend her.
“Why do you care?” Ryan asked Ethan and turned his head to him.
Suddenly, Allison felt her wolf whining. She felt her wolf shaking inside. Her wolf was reacting again.
Ethan grabbed her wrist, and she heard him say,
“I care for her. You heard me, right? So stop provoking her.”
Allison slowly turned her head towards Ethan.
Did he say he cared for her? Why?
“Where was your care at that time when you rejected her?” Ryan inquired and approached him. Ethan also took a step forward.
Allison had no doubt that they might fight at any time. She remembered how they fought in class. She injured herself while
attempting to stop it.
So she did not want to be a part of it this time.
She yanked her hand away from Ethan’s grasp. She gazed at them both and said,
“I don’t care what you both think about me. I don’t want to know
either. Just leave me alone.”
She turned around and walked to the road.
“Stay away from her.” Ethan warned this to Ryan angrily and ran
behind Allison.
Ryan stared at the two of them with his glowing eyes.
“Allison”
She heard Ethan calling her but she did not stop walking.
She heard the horn of a car behind her. Ethan took his car to take
Allison and drop her home.
But Allison did not want to go with him. She wanted to be alone.
Her mind was stirred up. Ryan’s words were running through her mind.
‘How dare he talk to me like that? Just because he knows my
weakness, he can’t humiliate me. He called me shameless! Who is
he? No one.’ She scolded Ryan in her head.
“Don’t worry. You will be fine.” She told her wolf and stepped slowly,
A car came around and stopped in front of her. Ethan came out of the
car.
“Allison, get in the car.”
“No.”
“Don’t be stubborn. I will drop you home.”
“I don’t want your help.”
“You were about to go with me until you met Ryan. Please don’t listen to him. He is just brainwashing you.
She frowned at him. “Brainwashing me? Do you think what he said was a lie? He was right. I should not be with you for a moment. You
are the one who rejected me without mercy. I am supposed to hate you till the end of my life.”
“Allison, don’t say such a thing.”
“Are you kidding me? You left me to die. Did you forget that, Alpha Ethan?”
He looked away from her and requested her,
“Please. Mom and Dad ordered me to drop you off at home. If I don’t
do that, what will they think about me?”
She pointed her finger at him. “This is what you are. Always think about what others think about you. Just like how you rejected me by thinking of your pack. My life was a waste for you.”
“No, it’s not true.”
“I don’t care about anyone. Go to hell.”
She walked past the car. But he grabbed her wrist.
“There are still three hours left before my birthday ends. Can I request this from you? Please come with me. I will drop you home.”
He dragged her to the door and opened it.
“Please?”
Allison looked at him. His soft eyes were requesting her to agree with
him.
She looked away and sat in the passenger seat. He came to the driver’s seat and started the car.
The whole ride was silent. When the car stopped in front of her house, Ethan came out to open her door.
She got out of the car and glanced at him.
“I don’t want to get any training from you anymore.”
“That’s not possible.”
“Why?”
“I have already set everything in my schedule. Dad and your father both wanted this. You can’t refuse them. They want you to become a
well-trained wolf.”
She stared at him. What happened to him? Why didn’t he think about her like that before rejecting her?
‘He is thinking that by doing all this, he can repay me?’
Ethan looked into her eyes. He wanted to tell her that he wanted to train her and make her one of the best fighters so that, in the future, she would be like other high-ranked wolves. He wanted to prepare her
with his own hands.
“Ethan”
They heard a voice and turned to Allison’s house.
It was Allison’s mother, Joey. She was waiting for Allison. When she saw Allison with Ethan, she called him from the door. She was a little far away, so she could not hear them.
“Aunt Joey, hello.” Ethan shouted from there.
“Son, what are you doing outside? Come inside, have dinner with us.” She gestured to him with her hands.
Before he could reply, Allison spoke out,
“No, he can’t. We had our dinner in the pack house.”
“Oh. Then come inside. Let’s have coffee.”
Joey was a very lovable person. She adored Ethan because he was
brought up in front of her eyes. So she did not think of him as an Alpha but as her son.
More than that, he was the future Alpha. How could she let him go from the door?
“No, he had some work,” Allison replied again.
Though it was an insult to Ethan, he still smiled at Allison.
“Are you afraid that I will grab more attention from your parents?”
Allison turned to him and shook her head. She said in a low voice,
“No. I don’t want my parents to get close to you. They don’t know what you did to their daughter. But the moment they get to learn about it, they will start to hate you. So it’s better if we maintain the relationship like an Alpha and pack members. It would be nice for all of us.” She smiled back a little as if she were talking with a stranger.
Ethan was taken aback. His smile froze. He averted his eyes from her and stepped back.
“See you tomorrow. Come to the training hall at the time. I will wait for you.”
He turned around to go inside the car. But he heard her. “Happy Birthday, Ethan.”
Chapter 36
Ethan turned to Allison. She looked indifferent.
“It’s your day. So I wish you a happy life, Alpha Ethan. Don’t expect anything more than this. And thanks for dropping me home.”
She turned around and headed to her house.
Ethan stared at her back for a while, then drove away with his car.
“Why didn’t you convince him to come inside?” Allison heard her mother when she entered her house.
“Mom, he is going to be the head Alpha. He does not have as much time as his pack members. He has some work.”
Her mother observed her carefully. “Allison?”
“Yes, Mom?”
“Is everything okay? You don’t look in a good mood.”
“I am fine, Mom. I am tired because of training.”
At that time, her father came to the living room.
“How was your training?”
Allison nodded her head. “It was good.”
“How was Ethan as a trainer?”
“Just fine.”
Just fine? He can kill more than hundreds in a night. He went to a war with us a few years ago. That time we understood how eligible he is for this position.”
Allison felt abhorrent thinking about Ethan killing wolves.
“Dad, I am just learning defensive moves so that I can protect myself.”
“Yeah. But soon you will learn attacking moves too. He will teach you
everything.”
“Okay.”
She did not think too much about it. She was a simple girl who only
wanted to live a simple life.
War, fight, kill. Those were not her cups of tea.
“I am sleepy. I already had dinner at the pack house. I am going to sleep now. Good night.”
She told her parents and headed to the stairs.
She heard her parents talking to each other.
“Ethan came to drop her off, then left,” Her mother told her father.
“Why didn’t he come to our house?”
“He said he has work. Allison said so.”
“Yeah. He always kept himself busy with work. It’s Allison’s luck that she is getting training from a head Alpha.”
“You are right, Glen.”
Allison entered her room and went to change her clothes.
She did not want to think anything about anyone; she just wanted to close her eyes and forget whatever was happening around her.
She was bewildered about her condition. Her wolf was confusing her
the most.
She knew what that witch said could not be accurate. Because Ethan had already rejected her, which was why her wolf became like this.
However, she told her that her wolf needed Ethan. That could be the
case.
She decided to stay close to Ethan until she got her wolf back. After that, she would stay away from him as much as she could.
The next few days passed like an office schedule for Allison.
She began her day by going to school first thing in the morning and then starting her training schedule at about noon. She needed to continue her studies once she got back to her house. It rendered her life monotonous and dull.
It was time for a class and she was headed there.
It was a combined class with seniors. She walked inside the
classroom and found a seat in the very back of the room.
When she looked out the window, she noticed a group of girls jumping and spinning about something. As she considered the various possible outcomes, a scowl formed on her face.
She moved her gaze from outside when she felt someone seated
beside her.
She was surprised when she saw that it was Ryan.
They did not talk to each other for a while.
Allison had the impression that he was trying to avoid her in recent days. It was good for her to do so. Because she felt the same way about him, too.
Allison averted her gaze away from him. At that moment, Ethan and his friends came into the classroom together.
His eyes looked about for a seat and eventually settled on hers. He moved his eyes to the side of her and grimaced as he did so.
Allison and Ethan started to get along with each other. She had a feeling that Ethan was making an effort to win her forgiveness. After that night, he began conducting with her as a trainer. On the other hand, she had the sense that he was changing his behavior around her. He was no longer the same cold-hearted Ethan who had always neglected her.
Ethan and his friends moved to the seats in the far back of the class, which were a few distances away from Allison and Ryan’s seats.
Allison pulled out her notepad and began writing in it since she was bored and had nothing else to do. It was the final session of the class. Therefore, she decided that instead of going to today’s training, she would return home earlier than usual. She might be absent for one day. There would be no issue with that at all.
She was aware that Ryan was looking at her. It made her feel weird. She had Teresa on her mind constantly. Because her schedule did not align with that of this class, Allison was forced to sit through the entirety of it by herself.
After entering the room, the professor immediately began with the
lesson.
Allison observed that the professor kept glancing over to check on her and Ryan several times.
She did a quick turn of her head and gazed at Ryan. He was looking at her very intently. She turned her head away and then asked,
“Do you want to say something?”
Ryan did not respond to her question. She drew a deep breath in and squeezed the pen in her palm as she closed her eyes.
“Stop gazing at me. The professor is taking notice of you.
She thought he would not answer her. But he replied in a single word.
“So?”
Η
Allison was able to pick up on the deep gloom in his voice. Even
though they had not spoken to each other in three or four days, she felt they had not had any conversation for a long time.
She looked at him and asked,
“It’s my first year; I have to study hard, so stop creating trouble for me.
Hearing that, a smirk formed on his lips.
“Maybe you don’t know that. People used to call me a troublemaker in my last place.”
She gave him an angry look. Her gaze shifted over behind him. Ethan was staring at her.
She uttered a snarling hiss as she jerked her head to look out the
window.
‘These two brothers! I don’t want to grab any of their attention.’ She
said to herself.
“I want to talk to you,” Ryan said.
“But I don’t.” She replied immediately. Her eyes were on her book.
She was stunned when she felt Ryan coming closer to her right ear. She felt as though her heart was beginning to race as this near
movement continued.
“What do you think about detention?”
When she moved her head, her nose accidentally brushed across his; she had almost forgotten how close his face was.
“Don’t you dar-”
The warning she was giving was cut off by the booming voice of their professor.
“Both Ryan Iverson and Allison Clark
DETENTION.”
Chapter 37
When Allison heard the professor, her eyes immediately widened.
Ryan moved away from her. He relaxed his posture and leaned back in his seat while grinning broadly.
Everyone turned their attention to them. Allison was embarrassed about what they were thinking of them. A few of them started
muttering among themselves about them.
She was mad at Ryan more than anything. She had never gotten any detention before. Usually, professors cut marks if any student
disturbed in their classes. But detention was like a lock up for
criminals in schools.
She tightened her fists and sat frozen in her seat. As soon as the teacher announced that the class was over, she was the first person
to leave the room.
She talked to Teresa and gave her a hug. “What the heck happened
“That Ryan Iversen…” She mumbled in an irate manner.
Teresa wore a frown. “Ryan? What sort of thing has he been up to this
time?”
Allison tried to remain cool as she exhaled through her mouth and
blew out her breath.
“Because of him, I got detention.”
“What?”
“Yeah. That boy is killing me. I did not want to talk to him, so he decided to take me to detention.”
“How? Why?”
“I don’t know. I just don’t want to see him. He told me so many things. that night. He even talked about my ranks to her parents. Now what will he say to me? Again mock me for the rejection? I don’t want to
talk.”
“Allison, calm down. Why are you so affected by him? Just relax. Go to the detention and sit down for a while. If he wants to say. something, don’t listen to him. And it’s a detention. The professor would be right in front of you. So Ryan can not talk to you.”
Allison thought about it. “You are right. I should not think too much.”
“Yeah. Go now. Do you want me to wait for you?”
“No, Teresa. I will go back by myself. You just got better from a fever. Go home and take a rest.'”
Teresa nodded and stroked her head. “Relax.”
Allison headed to the class. Students were leaving the school.
When she noticed Ryan standing while leaning against a wall, her steps halted. Then she paid him no attention as she made her into the classroom.
But he gripped her wrist.
“Take your hand off of me.”
She tried to break free her hand. However, the grip only tightened.
“If you want, I can cancel the detention, but you need to come with
me.”
“Let go of my hand. I don’t want to go anywhere with you.”
He pulled her closer. “Do you know what? No one had ever said no to me before. So I don’t know how to deal with you right now.”
She was stunned by his moves and his words.
“What are you saying?”
He ignored her question and opened the door of the classroom, still grabbing her wrist.
The professor looked at them. “You two came?”
“I can’t take the detention, and neither can she. So cut it off for today.”
The professor stood up. He glared at him. “You can’t leave without
detention.”
Allison gulped when she saw how angry the professor was. She was about to tell him that she would take that detention alone.
But before her, Ryan spoke out,
“Call Alpha Neil and tell him that his son ran away from his punishment with a girl.” He gave a wink to the professor and then dragged Allison out of the classroom.
Allison saw the professor’s jaw drop upon hearing him. She looke Ryan when he was dragging her outside.
‘How can he get what he wants every time? How cunning is he?’
He stopped in front of his car. He opened the car door, but it was shut by another hand.
“Where are you taking her?”
After the detention, Ethan was waiting for Allison to come out, but he spotted Ryan pulling her out instead. So he came and stopped him.
Ryan and Allison turned to Ethan.
“Why are you still here?” Ryan asked Ethan.
“I asked, where are you taking her?” Ethan questioned him again as he glanced at Allison..
Allison could not proceed with anything. However, she thought about hearing Ryan first. If he wanted to say something, she would listen to him. What if it was something important?
Ryan did not reply to his question and said,
“Wait, let me guess. You had been hanging around waiting for your trainee to show up. But sadly, she is unable to make it to the training session today.”
Allison raised her brows and looked at him. Ethan glared at him. “She is coming with me.”
“You wish.” Ryan said and opened the door again.
Ethan grabbed Allison’s other wrist and said to her,
“Allison, come with me.”
Allison was shocked by them. They both held her hands and wanted her to go with them.
She looked at Ethan and then at Ryan.
Ryan’s eyes were on her other hand, which was grabbed by Ethan. His gaze moved from her hands and fixed on her eyes.
“I am going with him.” Allison let out a sigh while looking at Ryan.
Ryan’s eyes turned cold when he heard her. His grip loosened.
Allison turned to Ethan. “I am going with him, Ethan.”
Ethan was taken aback. “Allison, he is not a good company for you.”
Allison nodded her head. “I know. But I need to talk to him. So I can’t come for training today.”
Ethan glared at Ryan and nodded at Allison. He let go of her hand.
Allison sat in the car, and Ryan got in too. He turned the key in the ignition and drove off.
A stabbing pain arose in Ethan’s chest and he grimaced in discomfort. He was hesitant to let go of her hand and expressed a desire to bring her along with him. He did not believe Ryan. Even though he did not want her to go with him, she insisted on going
nonetheless.
Meanwhile, Allison was looking at the road. The whole ride was silent. Ryan did not let out a single word after starting the car.
She did not know where he was taking her. However, she was thinking a lot about it. Why was she not worried? Was she trusting him that much?
Suddenly, the incident on the rooftop came to her mind. She tried to clear her mind by closing her eyes and shaking her head. She should not think about those things ever again.
At that moment, she heard Ryan’s voice, “I am sorry, baby.”
Chapter 38
Allison turned her head slowly toward him and asked,
“W-What?”
“I said, ‘I am sorry”.”
“Why did you call me ‘baby’ again?”
He narrowed his eyes. “You only heard that?”
“How many times have I told you not to call me that?”
“I can’t stop myself. It’s a habitual fact now. And you should make a -habit of hearing that also.”
“Are you crazy?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Then you should go to a mental hospital.”
“Oh, baby. I was admitted there before I came back to this pack.”
Her eyes widened. “WHAT?”
He glanced at her and chuckled. “Silly girl. I was kidding.”
Allison rolled her eyes and turned to the window.
“I am not talking to you.”
“I am sorry, Allison.”
“Sorry for what? For how you talked to me that night? Or for how you belittled me in front of Alpha and Luna?”
He stopped the car, and she frowned. “Why did you stop the car?”
He turned to her and replied,
“We reached where I wanted to take you.”
She turned her head outside.
“Forest?”
“Hmm. Let’s go.”
He got out of the car and came to her door. He opened the door for her. She got out and asked,
“Why did you take me here? My house is beside the forest. I can go there if I want to go for a run.”
He grabbed her hand and started to walk. She looked at his hand that
gripping her and then glanced at him.
was
Why did he treat her as though he was really close to her? As though he had a claim on her. He called her nicknames and grabbed her hands without her consent.
Allison’s gaze was drawn to the trees; it was a large and dense forest that stretched across the entire pack.
In other packs, the forest was not close to the pack members’ houses. So they needed to go far to go for a run.
However, the Moonlight Crown pack was unique. Its forest was close to its pack member’s homes. They did not have to travel very far.
Allison last visited the forest when Ethan rejected her. This forest brought back all of her bad memories.
When Ryan stopped walking, her steps came to a rest. She realized they had been walking for quite some time.
“This is the place,” he murmured as he moved away from her sight. Allison took a look at what he was saying.
When she spotted a beautiful lake in front of her, her eyes froze.
“Wonderful!”
Ryan let go of her hand, and she took a step forward after he did so. She lowered herself to the ground in a kneeling position and looked at the lake.
This place was spotless and bright. The sunlight, which was blocked from entering the forest by the magnitude of the trees, was reflecting off of the waters of the lake.
“Beautiful!” She grinned and whispered her response.
Ryan was observing the look on her face from behind her. His gaze traveled her face back and forth.
He went to her and sat down. “Sit properly. No one will come here.”
She turned to him and sat down beside him. “What do you mean no one will come?”
Ryan gazed at the lake and replied,
“This is my safe place.”
“But not your secret place.”
“Yeah, but. No one is allowed to roam around here. This is where I call home. I don’t allow anyone to come here. If they do, they have to face me.”
Allison saw an unknown emotion in his eyes. She sighed and asked,
“Then why did you bring me here? You said no one is allowed, right?”
“Because I am allowing you.”
“What?”
He turned a little so that he could see her face clearly.
“You are welcome to visit at any time. There will be no one to bother you. In fact, the nighttime view is much more breathtaking. It is possible to observe a reflection of the moon in the lake. It leaves a sense of satisfaction.”
“Oh.”
She paused before falling into silence and looking around. It came back to her that she had been upset with him. But now she was chatting with him in a casual way. She should not have dealt with him in such a cool and calm manner. She ought not forget that he was the one who humiliated her.
“I wanted to talk to you.” He broke the silence.
During the time that she was listening to him, she remained quiet.
“Look, Allison. I admitted that what I had said was wrong. I was impolite to you that night. I am very sorry.”
She did not reply to him and instead fixated her gaze on the lake.
“Look at me.”
He moved closer to her face. She gave him an angry look.
“What?”
“So, you let me off the hook, right?”
“No, I didn’t.” She said and turned her head to another side.
“Aww, my baby is so angry that she doesn’t even want to look at me.”
She turned to him and glared. “Again?”
He lifted his hand. “Okay, I will not call you ‘Baby’. Tell me you forgave
me.”
She felt defeated by this childish man. Why was he acting so calm
now? He did not look good that night. He always turned into someone else every time he got angry.
“Hmm” she replied, turning back to the lake.
She shifted her position to get there and then began untying the stripes on her shoes.
Her legs finally made contact with the water. The water in the lake. was of a comfortable temperature. When she finally felt some warmth despite the chilly weather, a smile broke out on her face.
“Are you enjoying your time here?” She heard Ryan.
“Yeah.”
“I knew you would like the place.” He said with a confident tone.
She turned her head to look at him and noticed that he was flexing his back muscles while squeezing his hands together.
She suddenly recalled something, and as she did so, her gaze drifted away from him.
She remembered that evening when she saw a lipstick mark on his shirt. She wanted to ask if he had again started to hang out with girls.
“I was wondering if you had any questions for me.” As he observed her facial expression, he inquired.
“Do you still hang out with girls? I mean, I know you do. Why am I even asking?” She shook her head as if she had asked a silly question.
“No.” He replied without taking any time.
She looked at him immediately. “No?”
“Most women fall over me and want to go out with me. But now I push them away since someone told me to wait for my mate.”
She was the one who told him that. She smiled at him, hearing that,
Chapter 39
His question completely caught her off guard.
“Help?”
A nod of the head was given. “Yeah, help.”
“What can I do to help you?”
After a brief moment of thinking, he shook his head in disagreement.” Forget it. I was merely requesting for nothing.”
She tried her best to make sense of the facts by blinking a few times.
She gave a thought about how he was living his life. Even with his own parents, he did not even converse with them appropriately.
“Let’s be friends.” She let out.
It appeared from the expression on his face that he was disapproving of her suggestion.
“Friends?”
“Hmm, friends.” She made a gesture with her hand toward him.
He gave her hand a sideways glance and then chuckled.
“I don’t make girls my friends. Because in the end, they chose to be with me.” His eyes seemed to be gleaming with amusement.
Allison withdrew her hand and turned her gaze away from him as she did so.
“You are a narcissistic man.”
“I always tell the truth. The truth can be quite sour. Therefore, nobody wants to agree to it.”
Allison drew her legs up from the water and pulled them against her
chést to let them dry in the sunlight.
“What gave you such a fit of rage that night?” She asked.
“Not a whole lot. A girl was making me mad that night. Because of
my fury, I shouted a lot of hurtful things to her, who was already feeling bad.”
She gave him her gaze. “I’m the one you are talking about.”
“Oh yes.”
“Then why are you trying to make a big deal out of it?”
“Oh, baby. You are very unromantic!”
“Again?” She twisted her head to his side.
“Well, I told you that I wouldn’t call you that. However, I did not mention for how long.”
Allison was aware that wasting time in conversation with him w futile endeavor. She stood on her own. “I have to go back home.”
After lacing up her shoes, she started walking.
In addition to that, he got up and started pacing alongside her.
“By the way, why do you feel the need for Ethan’s training?”
She came to a halt and cast a peek in his face. “I am not interested in his training. It was my father’s wish. He wanted that. I could not deny
him.”
Once more, she started walking.
“If you’d like, I can train you as well.”
She appeared to be in shock.
He wanted to train her? He was out of the pack for so many years. He did not join any wars with his father. He could not get any training from the Gamma. His father always taunted him about these types of things.
Allison wondered if he really knew how to fight like an Alpha.
But did Ryan just compare himself with Ethan?
Ethan was a powerful Alpha whom everyone from other packs was afraid of in the battle ground. On the other hand, he was a normal Alpha without any skills. He was clearly not as powerful as Ethan.
“As I have already stated, I have no interest in receiving training. That was not what I wanted at all. That was something that was desired by my father. Additionally, I need Ethan to stay close to me.”
His delighted face turned grim. “You need him for what?”
“I can’t tell you about it. It’s something personal.”
“Personal?” He muttered the word as a question.
“I hope you will not ask anything about him again. It’s my matter. I want to fix it on my own.”
He averted his gaze away from her and nodded. “I’ve got it. I won’t ask you anything again.”
“Thanks, Ryan. You really were of great help to me. I apologize that I was unable to express my gratitude to you. You inspired me to move on. It actually was effective.”
“Yeah, I can see how effective it was.” After muttering that, he went on his way.
She went after him and they had no further communication.
They came out of the forest and got into his car. He turned the engine
1.
His behavior boggled her mind. At one point, he was being playful, but at a later point, he appeared to be in a bad mood.
‘Does he have some kind of mood disorder?’ She thought.
In front of her house, the car came to a stop.
“Would you like to come inside?” She asked.
“No.”
“Okay. Thank you for bringing me to your place.”
He turned his head to face her and said, “That’s your place too. You are welcome to visit there at any moment.”
She gave him a small smile and a nod. She did not know when she would go there, but it was possible that she would go there when she got her wolf back.
She stepped out of the car and waved her hand at him as she walked towards her house. He waved at her back and then started the car to drive away.
She made a move towards her house door but hesitated on the way. Her father was standing there.
“Dad?”
“Allison, where were you?”
“I was outside.”
“Yes, I can also see that. However, that was your training time.”
Allison scratched her head and smiled at him in an odd manner before continuing.
“D-Dad, I was not feeling well. So I-”
“If you weren’t feeling well, you really ought to have stayed at home. and rested. What were you doing with Ryan?”
“He is just a friend, Dad,” She replied. She said that so that he would not misunderstand what she was trying to convey.
“Friend?”
“Yeah.”
Her mother emerged from the kitchen. “Glen, don’t scold her.”
“Scold? I was merely asking her questions.”
He turned to Allison, “It is not okay for the two of you to be friends, Allison. You can not be friends with Ryan. I have told you before. And you said you would take care of it.”
Allison shook her head to her father. “Dad, he is not that bad.”
“You are a young girl. You don’t know about boys’ mentality. Ryan is not a good person.”
“Dad, he is turning into a good person. He was alone so he did not
know what to do. He was lost.”
“Are you saying that you are going to take responsibility for him now?”
The sarcastic tone that her father used shocked her. That was an entirely new way for him to interact with her.
“Dad, let me explain; I was just…”
Her father let out a sigh before walking over to her. He caressed her hair. “I am so sorry, my princess. I talked rudely to you. However, I am concerned about you.”
She smiled and gave her dad a hug before nodding. “I know.”
In the middle of the hug, her mother joined them. They did not bring
up Ryan in conversation again.
After that, Allison proceeded to go to her room.
She closed her eyes as she lay down on her bed. She did not want to debate with anybody on behalf of anybody.
That lake and Ryan’s words roam into her head simultaneously.
“Will you help me to become a better person?”
His words never left her mind.
She thought about how he rejected her friendship with her.
Then how did he ask her to help him? How would have she helped him? Did he think she was one of those girls who was head over heels for him?
All of a sudden,
she opened her eyes and touched her heart. She sat up. Her mouth opened wide. She mumbled in a shocking tone.
“M-My wolf! My wolf is back!”
Chapter 40
She could feel her wolf inside. Her expression suddenly lit up with a radiant grin.
“I just can’t believe it.”
She looked through her bag, trying to get her phone. She pulled out
her mobile phone and dialed Linus’s number.
The phone rang three times before he received it.
“Linus”
She exclaimed and stood up with excitement.
“What happened? Are you okay?”
“Linus, I can feel her inside. I think my wolf is back.”
“Really? It is good news. Try to shift or let your wolf take over.”
“Okay, I am trying.”
She tried to let her wolf take over. But nothing was happening.
“L-Linus..”
“What took place?”
“I can’t.” She heaved a sigh of disappointment and plopped down on
the bed in defeat.
“Allison, please don’t lose hope. Your wolf is progressing. It’s still good news. You should be happy that you can feel her. She will be back soon.”
“Yes, you are right. I should not feel dissatisfied.”
After finishing her conversation with Linus, she hung up the phone
and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
The next day, she went to school. As usual, she told everything to Teresa.
“I am very confused. My perception of Ryan is changing now. I heard he stopped messing with girls.” Teresa said.
Allison remembered that Ryan also told her that. So that means he was telling her the truth.
“Ethan is also regretting his decision. So maybe he will start to like you?”
Allison snapped out of her thoughts and furrowed her brow. “Like me?
Teresa gave a slight nod of her head and then motioned for her to look elsewhere. She flicked her eyes over in that direction, and her gaze landed directly on Ethan.
Even though he was conversing with the other people at his table, he could not take his eyes off of her.
Allison looked away from him and shook her head. “You
misunderstand him. Maybe he is feeling guilty. But liking me is something he can’t afford. He is the head Alpha. What I have learned about him in a few days is that he thinks about his pack before him, which is great for the others in his pack but terrible for me because he has rejected me.
Teresa kept a close eye on her best friend and asked, “I want to ask you a question. May I?”
“Do you even need to ask my permission?”
It seemed as though Teresa was debating whether or not she should pose the question. Allison patted her back.
“Ask me anything. No worries.”
“Have you forgiven Ethan for what he did?”
The question astounded Allison. She herself did not know the answer.
“It’s just been a week since he asked for forgiveness. But what he did. to my wolf is something I can’t ever forget. However, when I get my wolf back, I will think about it. His life will be separated from mine. I will not ruin my future by thinking about this rejection. So I will try to forgive him and free myself from this tragedy.”
Teresa held her hand. “Your thoughts are great. Only if you forgive him and let go of your mind can you free yourself. You will be happy in the future without any worry.”
Allison smiled at her. Her eyes fell behind Teresa. She caught a glimpse of Ryan. He was talking with a girl. The girl was trying to explain something, but he backed away as if he did not care.
“Girls always surround him. Who knows how long he can stay away from them?
When he entered our school, girls thought he was a playboy with a flirty attitude, but they were wrong. He is a cold man. I even heard that he is too rough when he fu-”
Allison pressed her hand over Teresa’s mouth.
“What the hell!” Allison yelled in whispers.
Teresa gave her a look at what had happened. Allison shook her head. “I don’t want to hear these types of things.”
Teresa removed her hand from her mouth and chuckled. “You almost
kissed him, so I thought I should let you know first.” She winked at Allison.
Allison hit her arm. Teresa cracked up.
“Okay, I was just kidding. But what I told you about him was true though.”
“I don’t care. I saw how disappointed his father was every time he talked to him. I saw his mother’s pain in her eyes. He always behaves like a spoiled brat.”
“So what do you want to suggest?”
“I told him to wait for his mate. He accepted my advice.”
Teresa frowned. “Do you really think a playboy like him can take advices? I mean, don’t you think something is fishy? How can he change himself for someone he doesn’t even know exists? Like no one. When will his mate come? Until then, will he bury his desire like this?”
Allison wanted to think about it like Teresa. But she thought, why would she overthink?
“Who cares? I just wanted him to be a good boy. I hope he really gets it in his heart and becomes a better person.”
“Will see.”
“Yeah.”
“What about you?”
“Me?”
“What do you think about him?”
She was wondering what her thoughts were on Ryan. A good friend? However, he did not agree to become her friend.
“He is just a family friend. Nothing more. He helped me with his motivation. I feel a sense of gratitude. Aside from that, I can’t think of anything else.”
Teresa nodded her head as if she were thinking something.
After all the classes, Allison returned to her home. Tomorrow was the weekend, so she thought about going to the training the day after
tomorrow.
People could call her lazy, but she did not want to face Ethan every day, even though it was good for her wolf.
When it was eight o’clock in the evening, Allison was scrolling her social media timeline while lying on her bed. She was alone in her house. Her parents went to a pack party at 6. She was feeling bored alone.
RING!
Her phone started to vibrate with a ringtone.
It was from an unknown number. She received the call.
“Hello?”
“You still haven’t saved my phone number, right?”
She got on her feet and questioned,
“Ryan?”
“What were you doing? Feeling bored?”
Allison put away her phone and looked around her room.
‘Did he set any cameras in my room? But he had never come to my home before.’ She thought.
He hummed when she became silent.
“Why did you call me?” She inquired.
He replied with a chuckle,
“I am standing at your main door.”
