Ch. 81..90
Chapter 81
Allison turned her head toward him. Her eyes met with his.
He moved away and looked at the professor.
She furrowed her brows.
“And why would I do that?” She asked.
He replied without looking at her, “You know the reason. Or do you want to hear it again?”
She turned her head and looked down at the notebook.
“I will tell him about what happened between us. It was not my fault. If he still agrees to be
with me,
then I-”
He interrupted her by coming close to her face again.
“Then what? Will you continue your relationship with him?”
She blinked her eyes a few times. After coming to the realization that she no longer loved Ethan, she decided that she could not proceed. However, she was unable to just say it to Ryan. She did not know him very well at all. Even at that point, she had no idea what his intentions were. If she had to stay single, she did that after breaking up with Ethan.
“Miss Clark and Mr. Iversen, if you don’t like my class, you can leave.” The professor spoke
out in sarcasm.
Ryan turned to the professor and gave him a bright grin.
“You are right. Thanks, by the way.” He said and grabbed Allison’s hand.
“What?” She asked Ryan with a shocked face.
He took her books in his hand and pulled her up from her seat, then headed to the door.
Everyone was looking at them in shock. The professor was unable to understand what was happening. The purpose of him saying those things was to silence them.
Ryan paused in front of the professor. He looked at him,
“You are the best professor in this school. You deserve a promotion.”
The professor’s jaw dropped after hearing him. He was dumbfounded.
Ryan dragged Allison out of the class.
“Leave my hand. Where are you going?” She said angrily.
She felt humiliated because of the way other people were looking at them. Due to the fact that
she was still Ethan’s girlfriend, It would be extremely embarrassing for her to be seen with the playboy Ryan when she was already with his brother Ethan.
He took her to the locker room. “Open your locker and put your books inside.”
“What? Why? There is still one more lecture that I have to attend.”
“You are an exceptionally intelligent student. You do not need to be present at each and every
lesson.”
“From the day you came to this pack, I became a dull student. I have been unable to pay attention in class.”
“Wow, nice. I had no idea that I was having such a significant impact on you.” He said while chuckling to himself.
She was well aware of the fact that she was powerless over this sassy boy. So she placed her
books in her locker and turned around.
“Where are you going?” He asked behind her when she started to walk.
“I am going home.”
“I didn’t take you out of that class for going home, baby.”
Her steps halted when she heard him calling her ‘baby‘.
She realized that it had been a long time since they had last communicated with one another. After Ethan’s accident, he stopped talking to her until last night, when they had at
conversation.
She turned to him. “Stop following me.”
“Last night I asked you the same. But you did not listen to me. How can I listen to you now, baby?”
Allison cast a quick glance at the area around them. Students were glancing in their direction.
Her gaze shifted in his direction. “Don’t bother me. I am already in quite a predicament. I have to get back to my home.”
“I have just begun to bother you, and you are already tired? I can’t stop myself, not so soon.”
She clenched her hands into fists and then spun around. “Do whatever you want.” She
muttered and walked to the entrance area.
She went out of the school and was about to call her driver to pick her up, Ryan’s voice came to her ear.
“Come with me in my car.”
street.
She had no doubt that he would follow her. Without her knowing, she was liking it.
She walked over to the bus stand and sat down on one of the benches there.
He stood beside her. “Allison”
“What?”
He sat next to her. “Mom told me today to pick you up.
“Why?”
“I don’t know. Aunt Joey is also at the pack house today.”
She was stunned. She looked at him and inquired, “My mom is there? But she didn’t tell me anything about it.”
“I went to the class to take you to the pack house. You can ask your mom. She is there.”
Allison unlocked her phone and saw many missed calls from Teresa. Her phone was silent in class, so she could not realize it.
She called her mother.
“Allison”
“Mom, are you at the pack house right now?”
“Yes.”
“You didn’t tell me that you were going there.”
“Luna Ella suddenly called me to go to the pack house. So I thought about going. By the way, you can come directly here from your school.”
“Okay, Mom.”
She turned her gaze to Ryan. He looked at her with a look that said, “I told you,” and continued to stare at her.
“Mom told me to go to the pack house.”
“You didn’t trust me and called your mother. It shows you don’t believe me at all.”
Allison looked into his eyes and replied,
“You have to earn trust before expecting it. Because once someone said, ‘Don’t trust me, Allison‘. So I just took his advice seriously.”
“I see.” He muttered as he recalled that it was him who said that to her on the rooftop.
A bus pulled up and made a stop at the bus stand. She got to her feet and waited for the customer to hurry down.
Suddenly her eyes caught a glimpse of the old witch she always met.
“How are you?” The old woman asked her.
She smiled at her and replied,
“I’m totally fine now.”
The woman nodded her head with a grin.
Allison cast a quick peek in the direction of the bus, where she saw a number of people getting in. So she said to the woman,
“Aunt, I am in a hurry. See you again.”
Allison did not waste her time and got on the bus.
che went to sit on a Wind
seat and looked outside. She saw Ryan standing outside and did
not initiate getting on the bus.
She somehow thought he would follow her inside.
When she was about to turn her head, she paused.
She saw the old woman looking at Ryan. She had a startled expression on her face. As Ryan approached her, she bent her head to him in a manner as if she was bowing to him.
Allison leaned to the window to see clearly, but the bus had already started to move forward, so she could not see any further.
A question was raised in her mind.
‘Do they know each other?!
Chapter 82
Ryan wanted to follow Allison on the bus, but his eyes fell on the old woman who was talking
with Allison.
He let Allison go alone and looked at the old woman.
The old woman looked frightened. Then she immediately bowed to him when he walked.
toward her.
“Alpha”
Ryan glanced at the bus when it drove away, his eyes turned cold. He moved his attention to the old woman and said,
“A Fire witch.”
The old woman slowly lifted her head. She looked at Ryan very carefully with her green eyes.
“What were you talking about with that girl?”
“Alpha, 1-”
‘Shut up. Stop calling me Alpha as your head Alpha. Your Alpha is someone else. You should practice calling him Alpha.” Ryan replied while gritting his teeth.
She shook her head. “Anyone can be our pack’s head Alpha, but you have the highest authority in every way. We can’t disrespect you.”
Ryan turned around the opposite way from where the bus left. He began to walk and said,
“Follow me.”
The old woman followed behind him silently.
Ryan called someone, and in two minutes, his car came to pick him up.
Owen was about to open the car door and come out, but Ryan stopped him.
“Drive the car, I am tired.”
“Bro, do you think I am your driver?”
“I thought so. Because I remembered that every time you came to see me, you insisted on driving my car.”
“That was your car. The branding bulletproof car! But this car is just a waste. I don’t want to waste my time.”
The old woman stares at the two friends bickering with a smile on her face.
Owen’s eyes fell on the woman. “Oh, we have a guest? Sorry. Please get in the car, I am going to drive.”
Ryan went to sit in the front passenger seat, and the old woman sat in the back seat.
As soon as Owen started the car, Ryan glanced in the rearview mirror and questioned,
“What were you saying to her? You two did not look like strangers.”
The old woman’s smile did not leave her face. “I met her two times before. She is such a
beautiful girl.”
“And?”
“She looks confused every time I see her. But she…”
“She what?”
“I saw her with our future Alpha Ethan.” She let out in a lower tone.
“When?”
“One and a half months ago. They looked close.”
Ryan moved his eyes from the rear mirror. Owen glanced at Ryan and then turned his gaze to
the street.
“That is his brother.” He said to the woman.
“What? Our head Alpha is his brother? That means he is Alpha Neil’s son?” The old woman
asked Owen.
“What is your name?” Ryan asked the old woman.
“Aurelia, Alpha.”
“So, Aurelia, how many things have you spilled to her?”
I
“No, I didn’t say anything. I would never dare.”
The car stopped in front of a residence. Ryan and Owen went out of the car, and Aurelia
followed them.
The moment she stepped foot out of the car, her eyes widened.
She was feeling an air of power. The power that was emerging from the house caused her heart to race rapidly.
Owen walked to the door and rang the bell.
A middle–aged woman opened the door and smiled at Owen.
Ryan walked inside without glancing at the woman.
Aurelia was still standing beside the car. She did not move even a little bit.
“Let her enter, Georgiana.” Ryan said from inside.
After staring at Aurelia for a few seconds, Georgiana moved to the side and beckoned for her then said,
“Come in.”
Aurelia was an experienced fire witch. She had many abilities. But Lunar witches were the most powerful in the world.
Georgiana was one of them. Everyone in this pack knew that Georgiana was Alpha Neil’s close friend. So she had great power in this pack.
Aurelia entered the house and walked to Ryan. He was sitting on the big couch. Owen went to sit on another couch.
Her attention was drawn to another young man. He had glasses on. He was doing something on his laptop while drinking tea.
Ryan signaled for Aurelia to sit on a couch.
Georgiana came to join them..
“She recognized you?” Georgiana asked Ryan.
“Of course, she did. A fire witch had the power to see beyond any spell. I didn’t know my father’s pack had fire witches too.”
Aurelia bowed her head. “Alpha, believe me. I did not say anything to anyone. But when I looked at the girl, I recognized her, and I got some visions. You helped her a lot. But she got the wrong idea and thought it was your brother.”
After lighting up a cigarette, Ryan responded,
“I know.”
“Why did you bring her here, Alpha?” Georgiana asked.
The young man who was typing on the laptop spoke out,
“She will join the coven.”
Georgiana’s eyes widened as well as Aurelia’s.
Georgiana stood up immediately. “How can you say that, Collin?”
Ryan glared at her. “Lower your tone when you talk to my men. Have you forgotten who he is?
She shook her head. “Alpha, we can’t just bring any witch with us. We have to be very selective. She is completely unknown to us.“”
“I am doubtful about your spells. Last time, it broke with just someone entering the coven. Now this woman recognizes me. What do you want? Do you want me to kill you all?”
“N–No.”
“She is an old witch, but a powerful and loyal one. Take her with you when you leave the pack.”
Georgiana felt defeated and nodded her head.
“As you say, Alpha.”
Aurelia stood up and immediately kneeled down in front of Ryan.
A coven was like a home for witches. It was a powerhouse for them. Only powerful witches
could enter a coven and stay together to utilize their abilities. They lived a long life with spells and powers.
“All hail
“All hail to you, Alpha.”
Ryan blew the smoke out of his mouth and looked indifferent. It never affected him. He did not want people here bowing to him. He did not come here to rule this pack.
“Go back to your home. Georgiana will take you to the coven soon.”
As she rose up, Aurelia nodded her head in agreement. She knew this man was not like how he was behaving right now. He was in this pack that was why his aura and lifestyle were different.
He was dangerous outside. No one could touch him if he came to his real self.
She thought about him and left the house.
Georgiana turned her head to Ryan and asked,
“She just said that you helped Allison’s wolf to recover, right? If that’s the case, then why didn’t you let her know about it?”
The young man named Colin turned his attention to Georgiana as he shut down his laptop and set it on the coffee table in front of the couch.
He winked at Georgiana before saying,
“He has his own reasons, Georgiana. Just like your daughter has reasons to love him.”
Chapter 83
Allison reached the pack house and spent the whole day with Luna Ella and her mother.
She cast her gaze over to the front door every so often. She was dwelling on Ryan in her mind. had not arrived there.
Even though she had arrived at the pack house several hours ago, he sti
“Where is he?” She muttered.
“Who?”
She heard Luna Ella’s voice. Her gaze immediately turned to Luna Ella, and she shook her head.
“No one.”
“Are you waiting for someone, Allison? You look lost.” Luna Ella asked with doubtful eyes.
“No, Luna. Nothing is like that.”
“She is maybe tired.” Her mother spoke out.
Luna Ella nodded her head. “Yeah, you are right. She looks tired. Dear, you can go up to the second floor and take a nap in the guest room if you need to get some rest. I will call you
dinner.”
for
Allison agreed with it and stood up. She headed upstairs. Her mother had told her that they were there to accompany Luna Ella. So they would go back home after having dinner with her.
Allison proceeded to the guest room, but her eyes fell on Ryan’s bedroom.
She stood outside the room for a while. She had a sudden desire to go inside the room. She was aware that Ryan was not present at the pack house. It was considered extremely impolite to enter a man’s bedroom. She remembered that whenever she went to his room, something happened. Nonetheless, she wanted to enter.
She took hold of the doorknob and turned it. After walking into the room, she then shut the
door behind her.
The moment she entered the space, she was greeted by a whiff that tickled her nose.
She lowered her head and shut her eyes as she leaned her back against the door. She inhaled deeply of that scent.
It was Ryan’s scent all over the room.
Her heart was beating quickly. She felt comfortable in the room.
She wandered inside the room and looked around. The bedroom gleamed with a dark
ambiance.
She walked to the window and opened it. She felt the blowing wind touch her face. She could see the woods from the window. She remembered how Ryan took her to his safe place. She smiled, thinking about it.
‘I will break up with Ethan. But I will no that.‘ She thought and chuckled.
accept you so soon, Ryan. You need to work hard for
She raised her head and gazed at the sky. In the hazy sky, the moon’s radiant yellow light made it appear as though it were made of gold.
She was so enraptured by the splendor of the moon that she did not realize someone had entered the room.
She was startled when she felt a pair of warm arms slowly wrap around her waist.
She gasped and smelled the familiar cologne. She turned her head to the side.
Ryan rested his head down on her shoulder and stared up at the night sky.
“You still haven’t gotten used to my touch. Don’t worry. I will make sure you get used to it.” He replied, and his thumbs caressed her belly over her dress.
She paused at his handsome side profile. She took a moment to admire his hunky features from the side. Under the light of the moon, his eyes and face gave off an attractive glow.
Her body was pressed against his hard chest. She lowered her head and grabbed his hands.
“Ryan, leave me.”
He pulled her closer to him. She felt her lower back touch his body. She flinched.
“I don’t want to leave you. Let’s stay like this for some time.” He whispered while rubbing his
nose on her neck.
She closed her eyes. Her hands loosened in his grip.
She did not know why she was becoming weaker for him day by day.
It seemed as if he had complete control over her. She was completely unable to turn him down. Her wolf had a strong desire to be with him. She began to feel a fluttering in her chest for him.
She was gradually coming to terms with the feelings she had for him. He created a spot in her heart that she could never remove. She made every effort to stay away from him. The ice in her heart was broken when he got close to her, and he was able to get inside it once again.
Suddenly, Ethan came to her mind.
“You should stop doing all of this. It’s wrong. Ethan will-”
“I don’t care. Only I can be with you like this. If he attempts to even touch you, I will break his
hands.‘
Allison knew he was only saying this. It was clear that he would not harm Ethan in any way. Because Ethan was a skilled Alpha, he would not take any attacks either.
“Of course, he will touch me. I am his girlfriend.” She said with a mocking tone. Suddenly, she wanted to tease him.
His hold became increasingly tightening around her waist.
“I think one bite was not enough for you.”
She immediately turned around and pushed him. She stepped away from him while shaking
her head.
“Don’t even dare to do that again.” She warned him.
He saw her reaction and smirked,
“Dare? Are you putting forward it as a challenge to me to do that again? Oh, Baby, you are really naughty. You thought I was talking about biting your pretty pink lips, which only I can taste and bite?”
Her eyes widened at his words. The way he was talking so openly like this in a sassy way, she was dumbstruck.
She wanted to run away from him and hide herself somewhere.
“How shameless you are! How can you talk so dirty like this?”
He chuckled as he walked toward her. He bent down to her level, tilting his neck, and gazed intently into her eyes
“Dirty? You will die in shame if you learn what type of wild thoughts run through my mind whenever I see you.”
Chapter 84
Allison felt her heart skip a beat. She was shocked. She was unable to let out anything.
He examined her reaction and tilted his head. He kissed her left cheek and moved back. He comforted her by stroking her hair and reassuring her,
“Don’t be shocked, baby. You are a little kitten to me.”
She exhaled her breath, which she was holding inside, after hearing him.
But then again, his statement shook her to the core.
“Because I still have some time. I will cherish you first, then ruin you under me step by step.”
Allison shoved her chest and ran out of the room.
She could hear his chuckles coming from inside the room. She rushed downstairs and held her
heart.
‘W–What was he saying?‘ She gulped and bit her bottom lip.
She tried to calm herself.
That man was full of teasing.
“Allison, what happened to you?” Her mother, Joey, asked as she looked at her.
“What happened to me? Nothing.” She replied with a confused face.
“Your face is red. Come here, let me check if you have a fever.”
Allison was embarrassed. She was blushing so hard that others were thinking that she was having a fever.
She was about to head to her mother when she heard Ryan’s voice,
“How are you, Aunt?”
He was coming downstairs. Joey smiled at him.
“When did you come?”
“Just a few minutes ago. You were busy with Mom in the kitchen, so I did not disturb you.”
Ryan replied and walked to the couch with Joey.
Allison kept her eyes fixed on them as she trailed closely behind them.
Luna Ella was sitting on the couch while talking to a maid. It appeared as if she was providing the maid with some kind of instructions to follow. That was the head maid of the pack house.
When Allison was going to take a seat on the couch, she heard the sounds of cars.
A few cars came to a stop in front of the pack house.
Alpha Neil, Beta Glen, and Ethan came out of the car.
Luna Ella stood up and rushed to them.
“How was your visit?” Luna Ella asked while hugging Alpha Neil.
Beta Glen also hugged Allison’s mother. Allison stared at the happy moments.
“I cooked your favorite food tonight, my son.” Luna Ella said to Ethan.
Ethan nodded and kissed her forehead. His eyes fell on Allison, who was standing behind Luna Ella.
He walked to her and hugged her.
“Missed me?”
Allison was taken aback by the hug. But instead of responding, she returned his hug and patted him on the back.
Ethan released her from the hug and flashed her a grin.
“I missed you a lot.”
Everyone noticed them. Allison glanced at others and cleared her throat.
“Why didn’t you tell me that you were coming?” She asked Ethan.
“Because he wanted to surprise you.” Luna Ella said.
She turned to Luna Ella and her mother. “You knew about it?”
“Yeah.” Her mother replied, and Luna Ella nodded her head in acknowledgment.
Allison’s gaze moved to Ryan, who was sitting on the couch and staring at her. He did not
make any effort to greet his father and brother when they arrived.
It was clear from the expression on his face that he was quite angry. His gaze slid to her hand.
Allison lowered her head and saw Ethan holding her hand.
She casually let out her hand from his grip and said to Ethan,
“Go and come down after freshening up.”
“Allison is right.” Alpha Neil said.
Ethan and Alpha Neil went to their rooms, while Allison’s father went to a guest room.
Allison made her way over to the couch and took a seat some distance away from Ryan.
“When I hug you, you don’t like it. But when he hugs you, you enjoy it.”
She frowned at him. “Stop talking nonsense. He has just come back.”
“So? That doesn’t give him any right to hug you in any way.”
“Ryan, stop talking with me. I don’t want to engage in conversation with you over these
matters.”
“When will you tell him?” He asked directly.
“What will she say to whom?” The question was posed by Luna Ella as she approached them.
Allison gave a knowing grin to Ryan while shaking her head.
He rolled his eyes at her and replied to his mother,
“Stop eavesdropping on others‘ conversations, Mom. It’s bad manners.”
Luna Ella darted a suspicious glance in his direction before turning her attention to Allison.
“Stay away from this boy, my child. He will pull your legs later.”
Ryan turned his head to look at Allison’s mother, who had just taken the seat next to Ryan.
at your ho
“Did you see friend is doing? She is using her influence to convince other people to avoid her own son. It came out that my own mother was a snake all along ” Ryan stated it jokingly to Joey.
However, Allison could see his mood was off. He was just trying to divert his mind.
“Luna, don’t say such things. He is a good guy.”
“Yeah, he is always your favorite. You should tell him to get back on the right track since he likes you more than anyone here.”
“Okay, my mother is jealous of you now. How mean!”
His statements caused laughter among everyone. When Allison’s eyes met Ryan’s, it caused her to stop laughing. She avoided looking at him directly and instead focused her attention
elsewhere.
Alpha Neil, Beta Glen, and Ethan came down after some time.
“Let’s go to the dining table directly. You all may have departed from there a long time ago. Alpha Neil agreed, and everyone went to the dining room.
Ethan took a seat next to Allison. As usual, Ryan was occupying the seat directly across from her.
All of them started to eat. Luna Ella broke the silence and asked,
“What happened in the Red Moon Pack?”
It was Beta Glen who initiated the conversation in order to keep Luna informed on everything that was going on.
“Luna, we attended the meeting. But two important Alphas were missing.”
Everyone paid attention to the conversation while eating.
“Which two Alphas?” Luna Ella asked. She knew everyone and visited other packs to join the pack meetings with her Alpha many times.
“Alpha Easton. He reported that his beta was in really poor health. It is impossible for him to leave his pack without him.”
“Coward.”
Everyone heard Ryan’s voice. Their eyes shifted to him.
“It is extremely difficult for any Alpha to travel to another pack without his Beta.” Beta Glen replied to him.
Ryan gave a slight nod of his head and kept quiet.
“What about the other one?” Luna Ella continued the conversation.
“It’s the head Alpha of the Black Moon pack.” Beta Glen replied.
Luna Ella paused and turned her head toward Alpha Neil.
“Neil, it’s been two years. No one can contact him, right?”
Alpha Neil shook his head in response. “He doesn’t like to meet anyone. This is the sixth time. that he has been invited to a meeting by any pack, and each time, he has declined the
invitation. We discussed the possibility of visiting his pack to meet him.”
Ethan cast a glance over at Ryan, who was eating unbothered.
Something came to his mind and he asked him,
“Ryan, you were living beside that pack for a few months, right? Do you know someone from the Black Moon Pack?”
Chapter 85
REVE
Ryan paused eating when he heard Ethan. Everyone turned their heads at him.
Allison was perplexed. She did not know that Ryan went to live beside the Black Moon’s pack.
‘For a few months? Why did he go to live in the Black Moon pack’s neighbor pack?‘
Ryan looked at Ethan. His eyes turned dark.
“Who told you about it?”
Alpha Neil was the one who responded to him instead of Ethan, saying,
“You were always under my men’s eyes. I was aware of your location at all times. I never stopped keeping an eye on you.”
Ryan turned his head to him and smirked,
“Yeah, I can see how you kept your eyes on me. You know everything about me. Great.”
Alpha Neil clenched his fists. “Stop mocking your own father. It was only due to the fact that you discovered who my spy was. That was the reason why you were able to cut ties with us.”
“Since you just mentioned yourself as my father, allow me to tell you one thing. I told you when I left this pack that I do not have any relationship with any of you, and I stand by that statement. You were the one who invited me to attend the coronation of your son, and I gladly accepted. Who knows what you have in your mind? Perhaps you thought my eyes were on your son’s throne.”
“RYAN”
Luna Ella yelled at Ryan. It did not affect him at all.
Alpha Neil glared at Ryan and said,
“What did you say? I thought your eyes were on my son’s throne? Are you kidding me, young man? Do you even have the capability to handle a few pack fighters? You are talking about. ruling the whole pack!”
Allison’s eyes were on Ryan. Alpha Neil’s words hurt her.
‘Why is he taunting Ryan like this? I know he is ill–mannered, but why does Alpha Neil always talk about his weakness?‘ She thought about it and felt a pain in her heart.
She was feeling like Alpha Neil was not scolding Ryan, but her. She lowered her head and listened to the conversation silently.
“Dad, let it go.” Ethan said to Alpha Neil.
13
“Let it go, you said? How? Can’t you see how he is behaving with his parents? People respect me because of my manners, but my own son is mannerless.”
Ryan rose up from his seat. Joey looked at him and tried to stop him.
“Ryan, my son, please sit down. Don’t leave without finishing your food.”
“No, Aunt. I am not this family member, they all know this better than me. I was eating quietly, wasn’t I? Why do they keep lighting the fire when they have no chance of putting it out?”
Everyone fell into complete silence. Ryan had made his way to the door and stopped there.
He spoke out without turning around,
“And yes. I know many people from the Black Moon Pack. You were interested in learning more about their Alpha, right? Let me inform you. He is so cruel that his pack members call him the ice king. It is not necessary for him to travel to another pack in order to butter up the other Alphas. Because as soon as someone has the audacity to discontinue doing business with his pack, he will begin an attack on that pack and destroy it to the end.”
The statements of Ryan were mocking Alpha Neil and Ethan.
Alpha Neil stood up in anger. The loud sound of his chair being moved resounded across the entire dining area.
“You! You dare to say that I went to butter up Alpha Axel? You meant that Ethan is not capable of fighting with that Black Moon pack’s Alpha if he attacks this pack?”
Ryan turned his head to his father and smirked,
“He is the ruler of the biggest pack for a reason, Alpha Neil. Stop dreaming that he will even attack your small pack one day.”
After saying that, Ryan left the dining room.
Everyone stared at the door for a second, then turned their heads to Alpha Neil.
He was fuming. His eyes turned red. He looked like he would shift in no time.
Ethan was equally as enraged. But all he was attempting to do was put his father at ease.
Alpha Neil left the dining room while Ethan ran after him.
“He crossed the bottom line today.” Beta Glen said that and went after Alpha Neil.
Luna Ella’s tears began to fall, Joey comforted her by patting her on the back.
Allison left the dining room and went upstairs.
She knew what Alpha Neil told Ryan was not good. But Ryan reacted in a very disrespectful
manner toward his father.
How could he tell his father that some other Alpha would come and destroy his pack?
It was an impolite thing to say to anyone.
Allison stood outside his room and was hesitant to knock on the door.
She touched the doorknob and saw that the door was not locked from inside.
She opened the door.
Ryan came to her view. He was smoking while standing beside the window.
She closed the door and heard him,
“Leave me alone.”
She paid him no attention and continued walking in his direction. She snatched the cigarette out of his hand and flung it out the window.
He glared at her. She folded her arms against her chest.
“Why did you say those things to your father?”
He looked away from her and said,
“Not now. I am already enraged. I don’t want to take out my anger on you.”
“No, you have to tell me. Why did you say those things? Why do you continually treat your family with such disrespect? You could have answered nicely when Ethan asked you something.
She saw him closing his eyes and clenching his jaw as if he was trying to keep his anger under
control.
“Ryan, what hap-”
She was interrupted by a loud sound. He punched the wall next to the window with his fist. She was startled by his action.
“Just leave me alone, Allison.” He muttered.
Due to the force of the strike, his hand was bleeding. Allison could not stop herself and
grabbed his hand. She felt her tears running down her cheek
“Ryan, y–your hand is b–bleeding.”
Chapter 86
Ryan snatched his hand from her grip.
“You also came here to lecture me. Just leave. No, wait. You know what? I am leaving.”
He moved his way towards the door. Allison sped up to catch up to him and halted him as she stepped in front of the door.
Ryan’s furious stare made her heart race, but she managed to keep herself from moving.
She took a deep breath and slowly lifted her hand. She took a firm grip on his arm and pulled him along behind her.
“Please listen to me and calm down.” She said when she stood beside the bed. She gave him a little nudge in the direction of the bed.
He looked away from her and sat down on the bed. She went to look for the first aid box.
“In the closet.” He murmured since he was aware of what it was that she was trying to find.
She went to the big closet and opened it. There were a lot of black and white clothes arranged there.
It reminded her that she still had not returned his black jacket.
She rummaged through some drawers before finding the first aid box. She removed it before shutting the closet door.
She saw him sitting on the bed while resting his elbows on his thighs. His head was down. He was looking at the floor.
She inhaled deeply before taking a step toward him. She sat beside him. She took a quick glimpse at his knuckles. They were still bleeding. She took his hand and placed it on her lap after holding it.
He faced her by turning his head towards her. She avoided his eyes and wiped the blood from his hand. She blew on it a few times while hissing.
His eyes were fixed on her. His gaze gently drifted over her face. He could see how she was bandaging his hand. It looked like she was the one who was injured.
She rubbed her thumb over the bandage and said,
“Why are you so mad at everyone? They are your family.”
She could not get a reply. He was silent. So she tilted her head to him.
He was staring at her very intently. His eyes were unknown to her.
The feeling that she had not known this man well enough persisted each time she ran into him. a
“Ryan? I asked you something.” She asked again.
“When will you break up with Ethan?”
“What?” She was stunned. In this situation, where he had a conflict with his father, he was thinking about her relationship with Ethan.
“When do you plan to end your relationship with Ethan?” He inquired yet once more.
She quickly averted her eyes and whispered a response,
“Soon.”
“Why not today? Why not now?” His voice sounded demanding.
“I can’t talk to him tonight. It’s not a perfect time.”
“So you agreed to break up with him? Good.”
As soon as she heard him, she turned to him. He had a smirk on his face.
Her jaw dropped. “You were in a bad mood a few minutes ago.”
ito
“So? Do you want me to go back to that mood again?”
She shook her head immediately. “I thought you were in a very serious mood.”
He reached out his hand and brushed it through her hair. “If I get into my serious mood again, I will not let any single person go.”
“Why are you talking like this? They are your family.”
“No, they are not.”
“But-”
“Allison, I don’t want to argue with you because of them.” After saying this, he removed his
hand from her head.
She placed her hand on his shoulder and said,
“Listen to me. I know Alpha Neil sometimes talks rudely, but you are no saint.”
“Again?”
“Will you listen to what I have to say, or do you want me to leave?”
“It’s your choice.”
She was taken aback by his response. She sighed and tried to convince him again.
“You need to calm down first. Why can’t you just relax and tell them whatever is on your mind?
“I don’t like them.” He replied simply. She looked into his eyes. They were clear. She could not say that he was lying.
“Don’t say that.” She mumbled in a lower
“I always tell the truth.”
rtone.
“No, you do not. Because I saw how much you cared for Ethan when you came to visit him in the hospital.
He looked disapprovingly at her. “I wanted to ask. Why did you accept him? Or do you still love him?”
She shook her head but stopped herself as she realized what she had just done.
She thought he would tease her or smirk, but instead, he took the situation quite seriously.
“Good. As you should.”
She stared at him. Their eye contact was broken when they heard Ethan’s voice.
“Allison, where are you?”
She got to her feet immediately and glanced over at the door.
“Ethan is here.”
“Are you afraid of that loser?”
“Tsk! Ryan, please.”
She walked to the door and opened it. At that time, Ethan turned to her. He was just about to go to the staircase.
Ethan’s brows furrowed. “What are you doing in this room?”
Allison cast a quick peek in the direction of Ryan before turning her attention to Ethan.
“Ryan’s hand got injured, so I came to bandage his hand.”
“You don’t have to do anything for him. Just come with me. Your parents are calling you. They are leaving.” He said and grabbed her hand and drugged her downstairs. 2
Allison could not glance at Ryan as Ethan pulled her forward.
They came downstairs, Allison saw that the atmosphere was not good. Everyone was silent. Her father looked angry. Alpha Neil was not there. Luna Ella was also missing. She assumed they went to their room.
“Allison, where were you?” Her father, Glen, asked..
Allison could not answer her father. She knew if her father got to know about her going to Ryan. He would get mad at her. He did not like Ryan at all.
“She was in the guest room.” Ethan lied to Beta Glen.
Allison turned her head to him. He signaled to her with a nod that he would take care of things
for her.
She began to feel at ease and asked,
“Are we leaving?”
Her mother, Joey, nodded her head. “Let’s go.”
Allison took a quick glimpse at the second floor before heading to the front door. She was aware that now was not the appropriate time to talk to Ethan, so she chose not to do so.
She left the pack house. She was about to enter the car when Ethan stopped her by holding her hand.
She turned around and heard him,
“Stay away from Ryan.”
She raised her brows. “Why?
“What why? As your boyfriend, I want you to stay far away from him.”
Chapter 87
Allison stared at Ethan for a few seconds, then heard her father from inside the car,
Allison, get:
“Y–Yeah, Dad.”
the car.”
Ethan released her hand, and she climbed into the car.
The driver turned the car’s engine on. After that, there was complete silence.
Joey rubbed Glen’s shoulder.
“Glen, relax. Why are you looking so angry?”
Glen was sitting in the front passenger seat beside the driver’s seat. Allison was sitting beside her mother in the back seat.
“Have you seen how that boy behaved with his father? He is a boy with absolutely no manners at all. He never showed any sign of politeness. That being the case, Alpha dispatched him to the outside so that he might gain some social skills. Today, he went below the belt. Alpha was so angry. I don’t know if one day we will have to see the father–son fight.
Allison had a sickening feeling of dread. She was paying close attention to what was being said in the conversation.
“He is not that bad. He needs someone to guide him.” Joey said as she tried to convince him.
“No matter what, he can’t be changed. He should thank Ethan for taking over our pack soon. Otherwise, if, as an heir, he had to take on his father’s responsibility, he would drown our pack. He does not have any leadership qualities or any fighting spirit.”
Allison lowered her head. She was feeling bad for Ryan.
She wanted him to learn some techniques for battle so that, in the future, he could prove
himself to others.
She did not want others to always mock him.
However, Ryan had a fault too. He always bit around the bush. He never talked to his family appropriately.
She did not know when all of this would end. She wanted them to be happy together.
That night,
Allison thought about many things. Ethan told her to stay away from Ryan, which she could not do. She lost control of herself.
“Do I really have feelings for Ryan? Do I really like him?” She asked herself the question repeatedly.
She spent the entirety of the night dwelling on it in her mind.
The next morning, she went to school.
Teresa saw her and came to give her a big hug.
“I called you when I heard you had called me. But you did not receive my calls. Was everything okay?”
Allison broke the hug with a nod. Her eyes fell on Teresa’s neck.
There were two small star marks on her neck.
Mar
marked you?”
Teresa lowered her head shyly and nodded.
Allison’s eyes widened. “I can’t believe my best friend is blushing.”
Allison hugged her tightly. “I am very happy for you, Tess.”
“I know.‘
They went to the cafe to have a chat. Allison spilled the beans to Teresa about everything
that went down between her and Ryan, including the kiss.
This time, she did not attempt to conceal anything.
“WHAT!!”
Allison immediately pressed her palm over Teresa’s mouth.
“Others will hear you.”
Teresa removed her hand from her mouth, but her lips were parted.
“He kissed you?”
“Yeah.” Allison replied and looked down.
“But you are already in a relationship with someone else.”
“Exactly. I am guilty, Tess. What will I do now?” She inquired while lightly grasping Teresa’s hands.
“I warned you right from the start that you have a very muddled relationship with your emotions. I told you that you did not look happy with Ethan. I think that you are developing feelings for Ryan. You fell for him.”
Allison did not respond. She spent the entirety of the night pondering the situation before arriving at the conclusion.
“You are right. I have feelings for him.”
“Now what will you do? I told you to reconsider your decision. But you did not listen to me. Now what is your plan?”
“I will talle to
will talk to Ethan.”
“What talk? You will break up with him directly. You don’t love him anymore. So this relationship is meaningless.”
Allison nodded her head but turned to Teresa.
She looked at her suspiciously.
“Wait a minute. You always hate Ryan, right? But today, you are not badmouthing him. What happened to you?”
Teresa rolled her eyes. “Oh, please. I never hated him. I just used to dislike him. However, Max has revealed to me that he has feelings for you and wants to be with you. He said to me that Ryan stopped going with other women because of you. He wanted to be only with you. But then you decided to accept Ethan, which infuriated him, and as a result, he started hanging around with other women in a fit of rage.”
Allison remembered how angry Ryan was when he heard her accepting Ethan’s proposal in Ethan’s cabin in the hospital.
“One thing, Tess. I don’t know how I will talk to Ethan about this. I am feeling blameworthy. He saved me from danger twice. I am alive because of him. Now how can I leave him because of his brother?”
Teresa stared at Allison.
“What?” Allison asked her.
“You accepted him because of that incident, right? You yourself knew that you did not love him anymore. You were just guilty.”
Allison attempted to evade her sight by turning her head away from her.
Teresa was looking at her as she held her chin and tilted her head towards her.
“Honey, you messed up yourself.”
“I know, Tess.”
“Tell Ethan that you don’t love him. You tried to accept him, but you can’t be with him anymore.”
“I will.”
They made their way to attend their classes. After all the classes, Allison came out of the school to leave.
Today Ryan did not come to school. Max said he had something to do, so he could not make it today.
Allison saw her father’s driver waiting for her outside in her father’s car.
She headed to the car but halted when another car stopped in front of her.
It was Ethan’s car. She glanced at the driver’s seat. He was sitting inside the car.
She walked to the window. He lowered the rolled–down window glass.
“Ethan, why didn’t you come to school today?”
Since he was absent from all of his classes today, she decided to question him about it.
Ethan gestured for her to sit in the front seat beside him.
“Get in. I came to pick you up so I could take you out to lunch.”
Chapter 88
After telling her driver to go back, Allison got in the car and turned her gaze to Ethan.
“You didn’t inform me before coming.”
“I thought to surprise you. But you don’t look happy to see me.”
“No, it’s not like that.” She replied and looked away from him.
He turned the engine on. The thought occurred to her to inquire about his father.
“How is Alpha Neil?”
e core. Which
“His mood is still off. I don’t know how to unite Ryan with him anymore. I always tried to prevent Dad from scolding him. But last night, he dared to disrespect him to Dad is going to take that? No one.”
She let out a sigh and then shook her head. She was well aware that Ryan was beyond anyone’s control.
“Why is Ryan behaving like this? Is there any reason behind it?”
“Only he knows. He has been constantly behaving like this since childhood. He was never a good child.”
Allison did not want to hear bad things about Ryan. Even though she knew Ryan was in the wrong, her heart did not want to hear anything negative about him.
Ethan brought the car to a halt in front of a restaurant. They exited the car and then walked to the restaurant.
The manager made a beeline for Ethan and bowed slightly to him as he arrived. He was aware that Ethan would soon become the Alpha of this pack. As a result, he went there in person to extend his greetings.
“Alpha Ethan, it’s such a great honor.”
Ethan gave the manager a nod and then looked around. “I booked a table for two.”
“Please come with me.” The manager makes a hand signal pointing to the tables. They trailed closely after him.
Allison cast her gaze over the entirety of the restaurant.
It was a big area that had a golden tree decoration that stretched from the wall to the floor.
Alongside it, a large number of tables had been artfully set.
The manager stopped in front of a table and said,
“This is your table.”
Ethan pulled a chair for Allison. She sat down, and he sat on the opposite chair.
“What would you like to order, Alpha? You can take your time. I am sending one of the best
waiters at our restaurant.
Ethan nodded, and the manager left. Other people were looking at Ethan and Allison.
A few of them recognized Ethan. The girls were staring at Ethan. Some of them looked at Allison with burning gazes. They were jealous that she was with Alpha Ethan.
Allison shook her head as she thought about those girls.
Ethan pushed the menu towards her that had been laid out on the table.
Allison shook her hand. “I have nothing to say. You can order anything you want.”
Ethan took hold of the menu and flipped through it while he examined the various items on
1. it.
After arriving, the waiter took a position next to the table.
Ethan placed a couple of orders at the restaurant. The waiter places a bottle of champagne at the table before leaving to make the order with the chef.
Ethan opened the bottle and poured it into two glasses.
Allison did not say no, but she did not drink it either.
“I was missing you when I was outside. I thought I would surprise you last night and we would spend some time together. But Ryan spoiled the whole plan. So I decided to take you on a date today.”
“Date?” She asked and looked at him.
“Yeah. It’s a date.”
She lowered her head. She rubbed her hands together as she was thinking about what she would tell hi
“Ethan, I have something to say to you.”
“Yeah, speak. I am here to listen to you only.”
Because of his thrilled voice, she refrained from continuing to speak.
She gave his features a fleeting look. He exuded an air of delight and joy. What could she possibly say to such a person?
‘Come on, Allison. You have no choice but to tell him the truth. You can’t continue to keep
him in the dark. He believes that you love him, which is not true.‘ She told herself.
“Etha-”
She was ready to say something, but she aborted her sentence in order to glance somewhere
else.
She noticed Julie chatting with another girl. She was glaring at her from there.
Allison turned her attention to Ethan. Ethan made a frowning expression in response to her reply and then moved his head to gaze where she was staring.
He turned without changing his expression. Then he asked,
“What are you looking at?”
“Julie.”
“Why are you wasting time looking at unnecessary people?”
“Ethan, he is your ex–girlfriend.” 1
Ethan stared at her. “I told you I didn’t love her.”
“But she does.”
“I don’t care.”
“How can you say that?”
“You should be happy that I don’t have any feelings for my ex.”
He was right. But she would have been happy if she loved him. She did not love him anymore.
The items that Ethan had ordered were served when the waiter arrived with the other two
waiters.
Allison kept quiet and had lunch with Ethan.
Ethan talked to her about many things, but she could not pay any attention because her mind was messed up. She was thinking about how she would confess her true feelings that
she did not have anything for him.
She chose not to inform him about the kiss she shared with Ryan. It was not relevant to the conversation anymore. She would feel the need to let him know that she did not have any feelings for him.
She knew it would be heartbreaking for him. She knew how it felt when someone you loved rejected you.
And he was her savior. She was going to break her savior’s heart. He saved her twice, and at the same time, he helped her recover her wolf. 1
After lunch, they left the restaurant. They got in the car and headed to Allison’s house. The whole ride was silent. Allison did not try to break the silence. Ethan remained silent the whole time as well.
When the car parked beside her house, she was hesitant to get out..
Ethan unfastened his seat belt and turned to her. He saw her sitting on the seat, unmoved.
She was silent. Her head was down. She was looking at her lap.
“Do you want to spend more time with me?” He asked.
He thought she wanted to spend more of her time with him. Therefore, he smiled at her.
She took a deep breath and tightened her fists. She could not deceive him anymore. “Ethan, let’s break up.”
Chapter 89
The silence fell on the car again.
Allison closed her eyes. She did not know what Ethan’s reaction would be.
She wanted to hear him. If he intended to reprimand her, she would be able to pick up on what he was saying. However, his silence was beginning to eat away at her.
She carefully twisted her head to face him after opening her eyes.
He had a shadowy look in his eyes. He was looking at her very intently. The awkward pause between them unnerved her. She felt frightened by his silence.
“Ethan?”
She called out his name to get his reply.
“Why?” He asked.
She responded by averting his sight and saying, “I thought I could feel for you like I did before. But it’s been a while, and I think….”
She paused. She could not have the strength to continue telling him what had happened. He was mature enough to understand what she was trying to say.
“Why are you silent?”
“Ethan, I don’t think I can feel the same for you.”
“So what? It’s not like you have someone in your heart. You can be with me. Couples have to work on developing feelings for one another. So with time, you will develop feelings for me.” She shook her head and looked at him. Her eyes were glossy. She got emotional. She was not an expressive person. She needed time to express her feelings to anyone.
“Pease don’t make this difficult for me.” She spoke in a murmuring voice.
He was stunned by what he heard. He bent down and wiped the tears off her face. When he caressed her cheeks, she closed her eyes.
“Don’t cry. Tell me, did I hurt you again? Have I let you down by not keeping my promise to never hurt you again?”
She shook her head in response.
His forehead pressed against hers. He also closed his eyes as he spoke out,
“Are you angry with me because of that night when I tried to kiss you? I told you I wouldn’t do that again. So don’t be angry with me, okay?”
She slowly opened both of her eyes. She shed a few more tears, and they ran down her
cheeks.
She was not a cruel person. Her heart was soft. She could not deny the fact that she used to love this man and still had a soft spot for him in her heart.
But she did not love him anymore. Her heart now beats for someone else. She could not
deceive herself.
If she continued the relationship with Ethan, she would only make a fool of Ethan and herself.
She held his hands and removed them from her cheeks.
She moved back and wiped her tears.
“Ethan, I am sorry. I can’t be in this relationship with you. I am sorry that I am stepping back. But I can’t keep lying to you.
His eyes became gloomy. “Explain to me why you don’t want to be together anymore. Do you have someone else except me in your heart?” 1
She could not lie to him. She nodded confidently and replied,
“Yes,”
A loud growl shook the car. Allison immediately pressed her hands against her ears.
Due to the fact that she was an Omega, she was unable to take the growl of an Alpha’s rage.
She glanced at him. “E–Ethan”
His red eyes were glaring at her. It showed her how furious he was.
“Who is he? I will kill him.”
She gasped. She shook her head in fear.
Ethan was a powerful Alpha. He killed a lot of wolves in the war. So she thought that killing Ryan was not a big deal for his wolf.
She was well aware that he would never intentionally harm his own brother, but what if he
could not control his wolf and it attacked Ryan? His wolf would inevitably kill him.
On the other hand, Ryan had no experience in fighting or self–defense. He was a boy with a spoiled attitude. He liked to chill and spend life without taking responsibility for any pack
member. 1
It was clearly a win for Ethan because he had experience.
In just a few seconds, so many things came to her mind.
She was afraid for Ryan’s life.
“Tell me. Who is he?” He asked once again.
Allison shook her head. “Please, calm down.”
He kept glaring at her. His wolf took over him.
At first, Ethan did not listen to his wolf and rejected Allison, this time, his wolf did not want to let go of his rejected mate.
His possessiveness for his rejected mate glowed in his red eyes.
She leaned against the door in fear. Ethan had never behaved like this with her before. She was shaking inside.
Ethan was none other than the head Alpha of this pack. In a few months, he would take over the whole pack. Any woman in this pack would happily marry him and take over the position of his Luna.
He could not take it that Allison was rejecting him and thinking about someone else. He could not even think of her with another man.
His blood was boiling inside. All the veins popped out of his forehead and neck.
“Ethan, listen to me. You are not in your r–right mind.”
He moved closer to her and placed his hand on the window glass that was next to her head.
“I am in the right mind right now. Tell me which bastard dared to grab your heart. I will pull out his heart with my own hand.”
Her lips were trembling. She felt anger in her heart. When he rejected her, she had no other option but to accept his rejection. She had to bear the consequences too.
But now that she wanted to break up, where he would not have to feel any consequences but only be heartbroken, why was he behaving like that?
She had never seen Ethan in this outrage. He was a cold but calm person. However, today he showed her another side of him. This was the Ethan that her father always talked about.
But Allison could not let him affect her again. So she gathered her courage and replied,
“I know you are feeling heartbroken, but I don’t want to fool you. I fell out of love. I can’t feel the same way for you again, even if I will have to be single for my whole life. And don’t forget that I am not your mate anymore. You rejected me. After that, my heart changed for you completely.”
She felt his eyes pierce her eyes. He grabbed her chin and shook his head in disagreement.
He smirked at her and said,
“So what if I rejected you? You are still mine.”
Chapter 90
Allison flinched at his words. Tears streamed out of her eyes.
“W–Why are s–saying this?”
Ethan closed his eyes to control his anger and moved back.
“Listen, Allison. I know I did wrong when I rejected you. I will redeem myself. But that doesn’t mean you will leave me and go to another man. You are mine, and you will have to remain mine. I am not going to leave you, nor did I let you leave me.”
She wiped her tears and nodded her head.
“You can control me, but not my heart. It stopped beating for you.”
“Then who exactly is it beating for? I will remove him from this world. Then you have to love me.”
She was taken aback. She had never seen Ethan’s this side.
“I won’t tell you his name. You can’t harm him either. You have to cross me before hurting
him.”
He frowned at her. His eyes turned black. She looked away from him.
She opened the door and said,
“I am breaking up with you. I am no longer your girlfriend. I don’t want to hurt you by cheating on you. I hope you will accept it as soon as you can.”
She got out of the car. Before she closed the door, she heard him,
“I don’t care about this relationship. If you want to break, you can. But you will have to come
back to me. I will make sure of it.”
She closed the door and walked to her house. When she entered, her mother asked what had happened and why she was crying.
She did not reply and ran to her room. She locked the door and cried.
“Allison, my child. What happened?” Joey asked while knocking on the door loudly.
“Nothing, Mom. Please leave me alone.”
“Open the door. Let me see you once. If I see you are okay, I will leave you alone.”
“No, Mom. P–Please. Just leave me alone. I am begging you.”
Joey was worried for her daughter. After going downstairs, she was just about to contact her husband when her attention was drawn outside the window.
She saw Ethan sitting in his car. He threw something on the ground. Smoke was coming out of his window. When she looked carefully, she realized that he had tossed a cigarette bud into the ground.
Then he started the car and began driving it at high speed.
Joey stared outside. She had witnessed Ethan and Allison together a number of times. Not only she but also everyone else, had observed them both together at the same time. They looked like a couple. The way Allison took care of Ethan when he was sick and the way Ethan saved her in the accident, it really meant something.
Joey had seen Allison have some likeness to Ethan from childhood. Therefore, Glen and Joey were both aware that Allison had feelings for Ethan. But they did not know about Ethan’s side.
However, a few months ago, they started to see the love in Ethan’s eyes too.
“What happened between them? Did they fight with each other?” She said and shook her head.
The whole day passed,
Allison did not come out of her room. Joey tried a lot to persuade her to come out and have dinner. But she was a stubborn girl. She did not come out, which made Joey more worried. When Glen came back, Joey told him about what had happened today.
When Glen knocked on the door, Allison opened it.
You did not open the door when I knocked. But as
as you recognize your father’s
voice, you quickly open the door. Nice. I see you love him the most.” Joey teased her daughter.
Allison looked pale. She gave a slight shake in response.
“Nothing is like that, Mom. I was about to sleep.”
Glen held her hand and pulled her downstairs.
He pulled a chair and said,
“Sit here.
Allison’s heart was melted by her father’s caring nature. She was her father’s princess.
“Dad, I-”
First, eat something. Then I will talk to you.”
Allison kept quiet and had dinner. She realized that her mother also had not had dinner yet.
“I am sorry, Mom.”
“Your sorry me.”
will not help me. I will remember that you love him more th
“Oh, come on. Are you jealous of me now?” Glen asked Joey.
Allison chuckled at their conversation.
They looked at her and smiled. They wanted to make her smile.
Allison felt emotional again. She was crying because of Ethan’s behavior. He said he would never leave her. He even threatened to kill the person she liked. She was currently debating with herself whether or not she should say something to Ryan about the situation.
Following the meal, she joined her parents in sitting on the couch together. They were seated beside her.
Glen stroked her head and asked,
“Tell me what happened.”
“Nothing, Dad.” She lowered her head.
“Did you and Ethan get into a fight earlier today?”
She looked at him with a shocking expression. Did Ethan tell him something?
“Why did you think so?” She inquired.
“I saw Ethan today when you returned home.” Her mother, Joey spoke out.
“Oh.” She mumbled.
“Allison, look at your Dad.” Glen said.
Allison turned to him and paid attention to him.
“Ethan is not a bad guy. He is not aggressive like others, but a caring young man. Didn’t you
see how he took care of his family? He always looks after his dad.”
She scoffed in her head. ‘He is not aggressive? He growled at me today. He even warned me.‘ She thought.
“I don’t want to talk about him, Dad.” She cleared the fact.
Glen shook her head. “Kids nowadays.”
Allison was aware that her father would support Ethan at any time and in any situation. He would always praise him only. So she could not talk to him about anything.
‘I broke up with him anyway. There is no need to talk about anything.‘ She thought and stood up, and headed to the staircase.
“Good night, Mom and Dad. See you tomorrow.”
She heard her father behind her,
“Allison, don’t be mad at him. He is the only person in the world who can protect you from any danger, just like he has done several times in the past.”
