Ch. 91..100
Chapter 91
The next few days were really destructive for Allison.
Because, first, she was always under Ethan’s gaze. Everyone at the school was now aware of the fact that the two of them had ended their relationship. She was having a chat with Teresa one day, and Sophia overheard what they were saying to each other.
She was like BBC News. She spread the word to others about the breakup and made it their school’s hot topic.
And second, Ryan was not in the pack. He went somewhere again. Allison wanted to ask him. where he always went.
Though she had his contact number, she did not try to call him.
He had not expressed his true feelings for her yet. He only told her that he wanted her, but in what way? She still did not know that.
Therefore, she decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and wait for him to come back.
On the other hand, she was thinking about something else. If he cared about her in the way that he claimed to, he would not have left the pack.
What did he do when he was outside? Is it possible that he went out with other girls since he was unable to freely move around here in order to demonstrate to her how much he had changed?
So many different thoughts kept running through her head.
“Oh, hello? You are lost again.”
Teresa waved her hand in front of Allison’s face and tried to grab her attention.
Allison looked at her. “No, I am listening to you.” She replied.
They were sitting in a cafe shop. They planned to do their shopping so they came to a nearby
mall.
“I am asking you again, are you thinking about Ryan Iversen?”
This was the question that Teresa posed to her one hundred times. It seemed that she would not stop until she received a response of ‘Yes‘.
“Yes.”
“I knew it.”
“I have no idea where he has disappeared to.
“You never asked me, though.”
Hearing Teresa, Allison widened her eyes.
“You know where he is?”
Teresa gave her an amused look while raising her eyebrows. “So desperate you are! Look at your face. You are in love with him, honey.”
Allison hit her arm. “Why didn’t you tell me before?”
“I wanted you to ask me. But you never asked. So I kept quiet and enjoyed your desperation for that playboy.” She replied with a wink.
“Where is he? How do you
know?”
“Max went with him. They went somewhere together.”
“Where?”
“I don’t know. But Max told me that one of their friends is sick. So they need to go to see him.”
“Oh, so that’s the case.” Allison muttered.
“Yes, that’s the only case. What did you think?”
“Nothing.”
Teresa let out a chuckle as she realized what Allison had been thinking.
“If you truly love him, you should have some faith in what he can do.”
Allison felt her pulse pumping whenever Teresa spoke the word “Love” because she was thinking of Ryan at the time.
“Love is a very heavy word, Tess. I am afraid to love again. I am scared.”
There was nothing more that Teresa could say. She was aware that it was quite challenging for Allison. She had to bear so much pain at such a young age.
Meanwhile, Ryan was someone no one could control. Even his parents could not control him. So it was not easy for Allison to believe him.
Teresa also doubted him. But Max assured her every day that Ryan had changed after meeting Allison. He said that the past should not matter, which was really true.
“When he returns, don’t give in so easily. Let him chase you for a long time. He always found it easy to grab girls. So he should know that a precious girl is not easy to get.” Teresa suggested it to her with a devilish grin.
“I don’t even know what he wants.”
“You.”
“What?”
“He wants you.”
Allison laughed at her answer. It was she who told her about this conversation. So Teresa repeated Ryan’s reply.
They left the cafe and went back to shopping.
Allison blushed when Teresa dragged her into Victoria’s secret. Teresa bought a few pieces of lingerie that made Allison’s cheeks flush.
Teresa looked at Allison and locked her arm with hers.
“Honey, a girl should take care of her man. She should make him crazy for her so that he can not even think of looking at any other girl.”
Allison gulped when she heard her. She cast a cursory glance over the revealing nightgowns and underwear in a variety of hues.
Teresa bought a few of them and paid for them.
Teresa was mated to Max, so having sex was not a big deal for them. Teresa’s family knew about Max, she introduced him to them after marking. Who would say no to a fated mate? Max was a beta in rank, and he was a polite boy, his reputation was not bad at all. Though his parents were not alive, Teresa’s family told him that he was like their own son.
Teresa and Allison left the showroom and started to walk. Allison bought a few more dresses. Most of them were black. Teresa teased her, saying that she was buying black to impress Ryan because he liked black clothing.
After shopping, Teresa dropped Allison off at her home.
Allison’s parents told her that she should go out with Teresa more. Because she looked upset all day. They did not like their daughter’s upset face.
At night, after Allison had dinner with her parents, she returned to her room and lay down on the bed.
She turned in the bed left and right a few times but she could not get any sleep.
It had been two hours since she tried to sleep but failed. She was depressed. Even her parents might be in a deep sleep right now, but she was awake.
She sat up and rubbed her forehead.
At that time, her phone rang.
She grabbed her phone and looked at the screen.
Her eyes widened when she saw Ryan’s name.
Ryan called her.
Her heart was beating at a rapid rate. She swallowed hard before picking up the phone and answering it.
“Hello?” She said it while she awaited his response.
He was silent for a minute. She was desperate to hear his deep voice.
Then he replied,
“Come down, I am outside.”
Chapter 92
The sound of his deep voice almost caused her heart to break free of her body. However, the things he said left her speechless.
She bolted upright in bed and dashed to the window in a hurry.
She moved the blinds from the window and looked down. He was out of her house, indeed.
While leaning in his car, he was smoking a cigarette.
“What are you doing here?” She asked while looking at him.
He looked up and shifted his eyes on her.
“Come down.”
They locked their gaze for a moment. She had no idea why she was feeling so nervous, but she did.
She was now single. There was no other man in her life right now. She had broken up with Ethan. So there was no barrier to stop him from coming close to her.
Her eyes fell on the cigarette buds beside his car.
“My Dad is at home. He will see you.”
“So?”
“What do you mean by “So‘?”
“Do you think I am afraid of your Dad?”
“Yes. You never come here when my dad is at home.”
“That’s because I don’t want to create any drama.”
“But-”
“Will you
keep talking from there or come down? Or do you want me to come upstairs?”
“What? No. Wait, I am coming.”
“Come fast.” After saying that, he ended the call and looked away from her.
“This arrogant boy!” She muttered and went to the closet.
She took out one of the clothes she bought today to wear at home.
She wore a sleeveless black T–shirt and a maroon long skirt. It was a casual dress, not a dress for going somewhere.
“I would meet him and come back.” She said to herself and wore the clothes.
She arranged a few pillows on the bed and then wrapped her blanket around them to conceal them. It appeared like a person was asleep. She could not help but laugh as she thought about her sneaky plan to trick her parents into thinking she was sleeping if they came to
check on her.
She switched off her room’s light and then left her room. She closed the door very lightly so
that it did not make any noise.
Due to the fact that she was just wearing a pair of sandals she had to take her time climbing down the stairs as she rushed out of the house. She had the house key, so she locked the
main door of the house.
She let out a sigh of relief as she finally managed to sneak out of the house without waking
anyone.
After turning around, she noticed Ryan was staring at her.
The fact that he was wearing black boots, a black t–shirt, and black jeans created the impression that he was the king of the night.
She almost forgot how good–looking he was. His hair was messed up by the blowing winds. The way his bangs masked his forehead gave him the appearance of a baby boy.
However, when anyone who looked into his eyes could immediately perceive how dark those
eyes were.
As she moved closer to him, he threw the cigarette that he was holding in his hand. He smashed it to the ground and opened the front door for her. 1
“What?” She asked while looking at him.
“Get in.”
“I mean, why? Where are we going? I can’t go anywhere.”
“And why can’t you?”
“Mom and Dad will find out that I am not at home.”
“I will bring you back here before they wake up.”
“But I didn’t even wear a dress to go out.”
“I don’t care.” He said and pushed her into the front seat, then closed the door.
He then got into the driver’s seat and turned the car’s ignition key.
She gave him a fleeting look. She was feeling something new.
It was like there was no heavy feeling in her heart.
From the moment that she decided to be with Ethan, she made every effort to avoid being around Ryan. She did not want to cheat on Ethan, so she felt guilty when Ryan kissed her.
Now that she had no relationship with Ethan, she felt free in her heart.
She stared at the man beside her, who was driving calmly. He changed her life completely.
Who would have guessed that she would fall for this troublemaker?
“When did you come back?” She asked with a lower tone.
He sent a brief glance her way, but she quickly diverted her gaze away from him.
His eyes then shifted back to the street, and he responded,
“Just now.”
“What?”
“Yeah, I came to your house directly.”
When she heard that, her mouth dropped open in shock. She clamped her lips together and
turned her attention to the view outside the window.
‘He came to meet me as soon as he reached the pack?‘ She thought.
She saw that he had taken the car down a path she was not familiar with.
“Where are we going?”
“I don’t know.”
She turned to him. “You don’t know?”
“Yeah, I wanted to see you so badly that I drove all the way over to your house. Then, as you came down and I saw you, I did not want you to go back soon. So I thought to go for a long
drive.”
She was stunned. She gave his hand a quick peek and noticed that the bandage on it was gone, indicating that his hand had fully healed.
“Where were you?” She asked with an inquisitive tone.
“I went to visit a very good friend of mine who lives far away. She was very sick. She needed me. So I had to go.”
Her brows creased, “She?”
“Hmm.”
Herd
Her delighted face turned into an upset one. She turned her head to the window again.
‘He went out of the pack for a girl who is his good friend. Is she really his friend? How close could she be that he had to leave his own pack? Didn’t he tell me once that he doesn’t make friends with girls?‘
“Stop overthinking. She is just a friend.” She heard him.
She did not turn to him. He could have told her before leaving.
The long drive was silent. The car stopped somewhere.
Ryan turned his head to face her. She was looking out.
“Hey.”
She did not reply to him. So he grabbed her chin lightly and turned her face to look at him.
She pushed his hand away. “What?”
“Are you a
you angry?”
“No, you should go back to your friend. Why did you come back?”
“I would have stayed there if I hadn’t found you in this pack. I am here because of you.”
“What?”
He leaned forward and said,
“I heard
you broke up
with Ethan.”
Chapter 93
Allison avoided looking at Ryan by averting her gaze. She gave a slight nod of her head.
“Yeah. But not because of you, okay?”
He chuckled when he heard her. He moved back and shook his head.
“When did I ever say to you that you did it because of me?”
“I just clarified the fact.”
“You don’t have you, baby.” He replied and smiled.
She opened the door and got out of the car. She gasped when she saw where they were.
They were on a bridge that was across a river. She turned her gaze toward the sky. The moon was shining brightly, and the entire span of the bridge was illuminated by the light from the
moon.
“Wow.” She mumbled.
After exiting the car, he walked around to the front of the car and leaned against it.
“Come here.”
She walked to him and leaned beside him.
“Have you ever come here with anyone?” He asked.
“No, in fact, I haven’t gone anywhere much. My parents always told me not to go somewhere far.” She replied honestly as she stared at the river.
“Why?”
“Maybe it’s because I am an Omega. I can’t even shift and run alone. My father forbade me
to do that.”
Ryan stared at Allison. His eyes lightened when she was talking to him. He was observing her every motion.
The way she talked, the way she smiled when looking at the river, the way she was amazed by the moon, everything was captured by his eyes.
“How about you?” Allison asked.
When she did not get any reply, she turned her head toward him.
He was looking at her intensely. She looked into his eyes. She tried to read his eyes but failed.
He leaned forward and kissed her cheek
“You are cute.”
She froze because of his actions and words. He moved and leaned his back against the car glass.
He put one hand behind his head and lay on the car. His eyes were in the sky.
“What do hear about me?”
you want to
She came back to her senses and touched her cheek. She felt a tingling feeling that was still there.
She glanced at him.
The more she looked at him, the more she fell for him. He was glowing under the moonlight.
“You will fall for me if you keep staring at me.” He let out.
She looked away and sighed. ‘It’s good that he does not know about my feelings for him.” She thought.
He took a firm grip on her hand and drew her closer to him.
When she fell, she landed on his chest. She raised her brows and stared at him with a stunned expression as she raised her head.
While he was speaking to her, he tucked some of her hair behind her ear and said,
“Lay down here. You can feel the wind and the beautiful nature together.”
She did not argue with him. She lay next to him. He looked impressed.
“I like it when you behave submissively toward me.”
“Excuse me?”
“I mean, I love the way you listened to me.”
She rolled her eyes. “I am not listening to anyone. I wanted to see the moon, so I did that. By the way, I was asking about you. What about your wolf?”
He turned his head away from her and closed his eyes. “What do you want to know about my wolf?”
Allison felt eager to know about him and his wolf. Since he was in the mood to talk tonight, she asked the question that always kept coming to her mind.
“What happened to your wolf?”
“What can happen to my wolf? Totally fine.”
“I have never seen you talk to anyone with mind links.”
“Because I don’t want to contact anyone here.”
“Why?”
“This is not my pack. This is not my world.”
“What do you mean? This is your father’s pack. So this is
s pack. So this is yours too.”
He shook his head, his eyes were still closed. If anyone passed them, they would say that he was sleeping. However, they were the only people on the whole bridge. No one was passing by. She wondered where he had brought her.
“This is Ethan’s pack.”
“He is your brother. You are a member of this pack, so this is your pack too, Ryan.”
“Change the topic.”
“Why?”
“I don’t want to talk about them.”
Allison turned to his side and rested her head on her palm. She looked at him carefully. He
had flawless features.
“Where did you go?”
“I told you.”
“No, I mean where?”
“Another pack.”
“Which pack?”
‘Somewhere very far.”
“Where did you use to live?”
She waited for his answer. But he kept quiet. She patted his chest. She thought he had fallen asleep.
She patted him once again, but he grabbed her wrist and opened his eyes.
“You are very curious about me, aren’t you?”
She lowered her head. She was indeed very curious about him.
His other hand brushed her waist. It made her look at him.
He lifted his head and came close to her face. She gulped and looked everywhere except into his eyes.
“Learning me is not a piece of cake, baby. There are so many things you have to learn first before knowing me.”
“What are you saying?” She asked and looked into his eyes.
“Didn’t I tell you that I would make you my secret keeper? I will. But it will take time for you to becoine the one I want you to be.”
His nose brushed hers. Their lips were about to touch. But Allison pushed his chest lightly.
He moved his face toward her hair with a smile.
“You are very shy. I like it.”
“I haven’t given you the right to kiss me anytime yet.” She said boldly.
He moved away from her hair and looked at her.
“Do you think I need your permission to even touch you?”
She turned her face. She turned to look around their surroundings and saw that there was no one else there. So even if he wanted to do something with her, she could not escape.
She felt his hand circling her waist. He chuckled at her expression.
He leaned back and laughed while shaking his head and resting his head.
“You really thought I would do something to you?”
He removed his hand from her waist. She hit his arm, and he laughed even more.
“Stop teasing me. Tell me, where did you take me? What is this place?”
He sat up and replied,
“This is the place between two packs.”
“Oh.” She let out and glanced at the two sides.
“I have never visited other packs.” She mumbled.
She felt his hand stroking her hair. She heard him,
“Really? Then I will take you to visit one of the best packs. Would you like to come with me?”
Chapter 94
She turned her head to him. “You will take me to another pack?”
with me, then.”
“Yeah. If you agree wi
She was about to say yes. Then she had the epiphany that her parents would never give their consent for her to wander off without them.
“What happened?” He asked when he saw her upset face.
“No, I can’t.”
“Why? You don’t believe in me, do you?
It was his question that gave her pause. How ready and willing she was to answer yes. It turned out that she had genuine confidence in him within her heart.
The most important thing was that she had a sense of safety in this environment when she was with him.
She was looking forward to the time she would get to spend with him.
She had never thought that Ryan would make her feel like this.
“Your silence is giving me an answer.”
She avoided his inquiry and said,
“My parents will never give me permission to go outside of this pack because of my rank‘
“You are my Omega. Who will dare to touch you? I will bury them alive.”
His unexpected words mirrored what she was feeling deep down inside. Her inner wolf let forth a low growl.
She couldn’t take her eyes off his wise features. He appeared grave as if he were getting ready to kill everybody who crossed his path.
She flushed and blinked her eyes several times. She turned away from him and looked away.
‘His Omega?‘ She repeated his words in her heart. It sounded very intimate.
He grabbed hold of her waist and dragged her in his direction. The surface of the car was slippery, so she went quickly to grab hold of him by the pull.
“From now on, you are under my protection. Just tell me if you feel something is wrong
with anyone. I will punish them in my way. No one is allowed to touch my baby.”
His face was in close proximity to hers. She could feel his warmth emanating from him. She took her time looking at his features.
‘When did we become this close?‘ she asked herself.
“Do you get it?” He inquired.
She gave a slight shake in response.
“No.”
“What?”
“Do you even know how to fight? How will you protect me if someone tries to attack me in wolf form?” She asked in a playful manner.
However, a shadow appeared in his eyes.
His hold became increasingly firm. “You think all of my life I have been only roaming around girls, right?”
She immediately shook her head. She thought he was hurt by her words.
She rested her hands on his shoulder. “I didn’t mean to say that.”
“Well, that’s fine with me if that’s what you think. I am not the type of person to convince you to change your opinion. I have mentioned it to you before.”
After he disengaged his hold on her waist and climbed down from the car, he walked to the door of the car.
She had a fixed gaze on him. She also lowered herself to the ground and questioned,
“Did I make you angry?”
“No, let’s go. I will drop you home before sunrise.”
He then opened the door and got inside. She followed him and went to sit beside him in the passenger seat.
She buckled the seatbelt and glanced at him.
“I didn’t mean to hurt you.” She mumbled.
“Hmm.”
He turned the key in the ignition and drove off in the direction of Allison’s house.
The whole car ride was silent. He started smoking a cigarette before lowering the window. next to him. He smoked and drove the car together.
She wanted to stop him, but she realized that he was already mad at her and so she refrained from doing so.
She could not help but keep looking at him.
‘Why did he take it to his heart? He never attended any training, which is why it hurt his ego.
I should not have said that. How come I always end up talking much too much? It was my fault for not keeping my lips shut.‘ She kept scolding herself in her head.
“I am sorry.”
While lowering her head, she whispered. She fixed her gaze down on her lap.
She thought he would not hear her, but he heard her clearly.
“Why?” He asked the reason for her apology.
“You came to meet me directly, and throughout our conversation I said something that ruined your mood. I am sorry for upsetting you.”
“You don’t have to apologize. I am not upset. I just learned your thoughts about me.”
What he was thinking was wrong. She did not want to humiliate him. She knew he had misunderstood her. Though he had reasons for that. Because his father always talked about these things with him. So he thought she was mocking him.
Allison did not want any misunderstandings between them.
Therefore, she confronted him with her words,
“No. I apologize if I offended you in any way. It was merely a
Comment that
slipped out of my mouth. I only meant it as a joke, but you took it too seriously.”
The car came to a halt in front of Allison’s house. She did not take her gaze off him as she waited to hear him out.
He smashed the bud of the cigarette in the ashtray that had been placed on the car.
He turned to her and looked into her eyes.
“I want you to know one thing very clearly.”
“Yes?”
“I did not want to come back here. But I returned for you. I want to be with you. I want you to feel the same way I feel for you.” He leaned toward her as he spoke.
The moment he got nearer to her, she could feel a fluttering in her chest caused by her beating heart.
Due to his breaths brushing her face, she was unable to concentrate on what he was saying. Her cheeks flushed with redness.
He cupped her cheek and said,
“Allison, be mine. I will grant you what you deserve. I will give you every pleasure that you have never thought of.”
She closed her eyes and focused on the sensation of his touch and his words without giving him a response.
He tilted his head and kissed her cheek, then confessed to her.
“I really like you, Allison.”
Chapter 95
Allison opened her eyes. Her eyes became teary. She looked at the man in front of her. She did not know him very well, but somehow she trusted him in her heart. She felt that he was a
really close person on whom she could rely.
His lips were about to brush hers, but she moved and hugged him.
Her hands curled around his neck in a tight embrace. He was taken aback by her action. She sobbed as she buried her face in his neck and cried.
“I believe in you. I won’t tell you a lie. There is a part of me that is terrified to open up and give my heart to you.”
She felt his arms wrap around her waist and draw her closer to his body as he pulled her in.
“I promise that I will never hurt your feelings.”
She smiled and nodded her head. She did not break the embrace she was in. She had no intention of releasing her hold on him.
He caressed her back and kissed her hair.
“You are my baby. Trust me. I will always keep you safe in my arms.
After a moment of closeness, she pulled away from the embrace and lowered her head. In order to get a better look at her face, he tugged on a strand of hair behind her ear. Even though it was dark inside the car, he was able to make out her beautiful face very clearly.
He bent his head to kiss her, but she looked at him and immediately pressed her hand over his mouth.
His in–depth eyes glanced at her hand and then shifted to her face.
“Good night, Ryan.” She said with a shy smile.
She felt him kissing her palm. Her brows shot up, and she removed her hand from his mouth.
He moved close, and she thought ho
next move.
would kiss her lips. She shut her eyes and waited for his
But he kissed her forehead and replied,
“Good night, Baby.”
She opened her eyes and stared at him.
It turned out that he was nothing like what she was expecting him to be. He was different. She clung to the hope that this behavior was just for her. 1
He reached the door beside her and opened it for her.
She got out of the car and closed the door. She gave him a glance and then waved her hand.
“Bye.”
He gave her a nod. “See you in the morning, baby.”
She blushed and turned around. She ran up to the front door and unlocked it as quickly as she could.
She gently made her way to her room. She breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that no one had come into her room to wake her up or to check on her. Everything was the same in
her room.
She had just changed into her pajamas and was about to head to bed. But she cast a peek toward the window and then stepped over to it.
She saw that Ryan’s car was still outside her house.
‘He did not leave yet?‘
Then she spotted him driving the car away from her house.
It was clear to her that he was checking in on her to make sure that everything was okay in her house.
“He is such a caring person!”
She closed the window and rushed to the bed. She thought about what Ryan had said to her. She grinned to herself as she pondered on everything that had happened.
After a long time, she was feeling delighted.
The following day, she went to school late.
The professor scolded her for entering the class late. “Lam
am so sorry, Sir.”
“Next time, come on time, Miss Clark.” The professor said so and told her to take her seat.
Allison could sense the gazes of the others as she made her way to her seat.
When it was break time, she met Teresa in the cafeteria.
The fact that Max had returned the previous night seems to have made Teresa quite happy.
“Do you know? Ryan has returned.” Teresa said to Allison.
Allison nodded her head in response. “Yes, I do.”
“How?”
“He came to meet me last night.”
“What? When?”
“When everyone in my home was asleep.”
Teresa’s jaw dropped. “And?”
“And what, Tess?”
“What happened after that? You better not dare miss any moment while you are explaining things to me. I want to know everything.”
The conversation continued with Allison chuckling and telling her that Ryan drove her on a long drive. After she explained how Ryan had confessed to her, she became emotional as she spoke about the moment.
When Teresa heard her, she immediately embraced her. “Aww. Sweetheart.”
Allison and Teresa talked to each other for a long time. Teresa gave her some advice for relationships.
“Let me order something.” Teresa said and stood up.
“I am coming with you.”
“No. I am coming back. Tell me, what do you want to eat?”
“Anything you like order one for me.
“Okay, I am coming then.”
Allison pulled out her cell phone. There were no missed calls or messages in her inbox.
‘Am I waiting for him to call or text me?‘ She thought for a moment before shaking her head.
Someone tapped on the table while she was waiting for Teresa. She looked up and saw the person she was thinking about.
Ryan was standing in front of her table. He bent down as he rested his palms on the table and asked,
“May I sit here?”
It was difficult for her to tear her gaze away from the dashing young man. The thick eyebrows he had were masked by the bangs on his forehead. She noticed that he did not look cold when he hid his forehead with his bangs. This hairstyle really suited him.
“If you want me to remain in this position for hours while waiting for your response, then I can do that.”
His remarks took her back from her thoughts.
“Huh?” She mumbled and looked away from him. Her eyes cast a quick glance all around the cafeteria.
They were the focus of everyone’s attention. Girls were frowning at her, and the boys were experiencing feelings of envy because of her. Because she was the girl every boy desired in their schools.
“S–Sure. You can sit.”
She thought that he would sit in the seat directly opposite her. However, he approached her, grabbed the chair next to hers, and then swiveled it around so that it faced her. Then he sat down on the chair. They were sitting really close to each other.
She parted her lips and muttered,
“Everyone is looking at us.”
“So? Are you ashamed to be seen with me?”
She shook her head. “No.”
“Then let them see.”
She looked into his eyes. “Will you always be like this with me?”
He chuckled at her question.
“I will. But if one day you think of betraying me…”
He paused for a moment and looked at the table. His fingers were playing on the table.
His gaze turned dark. Then he let out,
“I will show you a different side of mine.”
Chapter 96
Allison could not understand his words. It was clear to her that she would never turn her back on him. Be that as it may, what exactly did he mean when he referred to betraying him?
She had a question in mind, but before she could ask it, Teresa brought over a plate of food and placed it on the table.
“Here is
your food.”
She looked at Teresa and said, “Sit.”
“No way. I can’t be a third wheel between two love birds.”
Allison blushed and hit her hand. “Don’t say these things.”
Teresa laughed and bent down. She kissed Allison’s cheek.
“Don’t be mad at me, my honey. My mate is waiting for me at that table.”
Allison cast her gaze over to a table that was a little ways away from them. Max was sitting there. He waved his hand at her. She gave him a friendly grin and nod in response. She gave Teresa a look before uttering the word “Okay.”
Teresa straightened her back and sent a quick glance in the direction of Ryan, whose gaze had been intently focused on Allison from the very beginning.
So rather than bothering herself with a greeting, Teresa headed straight to the table where Max was sitting.
Allison turned her head toward Ryan. “What are you looking at?” She queried him, seeing that his gaze was fixed on her without shifting in any way.
“I don’t like it when she kisses you.”
Allison’s eyes widened. “She just gave me a peck on the cheek. She is my best friend, she can do that. And she is a girl, not a boy.”
He shook his head. “I can’t share you with a girl either.”
She heaved a breath as she turned her gaze away from him. She heard his chuckle as he moved away.
She looked at him. He had a grin on his face.
She could not help but smile as she continued to gaze at his charming grin. It was hard to
resist him when he smiled
She glanced at her plate and patted his shoulder.
“Take a bite.”
He shook his head in disagreement. “I am full.”
“But you have just entered the cafe. When did you eat?”
“I am not hungry.”
Allison did not listen to him and brought the spoon close to his mouth instead.
“Eat.”
He stared at the spoon for a while.
“You know what you are doing, right?” He muttered.
“Yeah. I am feeding you. Now eat.”
He allowed her to feed him by opening his mouth and letting her do so.
His eyes moved on her. The way she was feeding him from her plate captivated his heart. He had never experienced such compassion and concern from another person before.
Beginning at a young age, he was involved in arguments with her parents and Ethan. Although his mother loved him, she chose to spend the majority of her time with her older child.
When he was in his teenage years, he left the pack and stayed alone abroad. There was no one in his life who could show love or care for him.
So this was the first time he had the feeling that someone was moving his heart.
He was completely focused on the girl who was conversing with him and feeding him at the same time. She was living in her own little universe. She had no idea what position she was holding in his life. She was completely unaware of the immense power that she was harboring on the inside. She was naive and innocent in his eyes. He believed that she would not treat him in the same manner that his family had in the past..
He was confident that she was not like the other girls who were after power and position. She was different from them. She would never abandon him.
“So my parents got worried about me and told me to spend more time with Teresa.”
Allison was telling Ryan how she was spending her days when he left the pack.
He grabbed her hand just as she was going to give him another spoonful of food.
“I am done, baby. You can have it now.”
She watched him get up from the chair he was sitting in.
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah, two hundred percent.”
“Where are you going?”
“I am going to join the classes.”
“Oh.” She realized that they had spent a long time in the cafeteria. It was time for classes.
“Meet me after the classes.” He said and headed to the door.
She gazed at his back. When viewed from behind, he gave off the impression of being a very powerful guy.
Sometimes, she felt that he had duality. He was a boy with charms that drew other girls and at the same time, a guy who could have a chilly demeanor and was not afraid of anyone.
“Which one are you, Ryan?” She asked while looking at him. Even after he had exited the cafeteria, she did not take her gaze off of the glass door.
After Teresa had joined her at her table, the two of them proceeded to the classes together. Allison concentrated on the classes and reminded herself that she needed to focus on her studies since everything was fine now.
After all the classes, she walked to the entrance with Teresa.
After Ryan ate lunch with her at the same table in the cafeteria, she began to overhear other students talking about her at the school.
“Look at her. The fact that she is the beta’s daughter is definitely an advantage in her favor. She had the opportunity to be in a relationship with Ethan, and now she is rambling around with his brother. How shameless!”
Teresa wanted to reprimand the girls, but Allison stopped her by shaking her head. When Teresa glared at the girl, the girl responded by rolling her eyes.
Allison’s steps halted when he saw Ryan. He also heard that girl. He turned to the girl, who was talking with her friends. Then he headed to the girl and stopped in front of her.
Both Allison and Teresa turned their heads to look at him. Everyone else in the area came to a halt and watched to see what action Ryan would take in response to the situation.
“Did you just say something?” Ryan asked the girl.
The girl was stunned. She did not think that she was loud enough for everyone to hear her. She only wanted to be heard by Allison. She was completely oblivious to the fact that Ryan was close to her.
“I–I was just stating the facts.”
Ryan glared at her with annoyance. “If you can’t learn to keep your mouth shut, you don’t have to come to this school from tomorrow.”
She was startled by his words and his dark eyes, which caused her to take a step back. “R- Ryan, I-”
“A delta female whose father is a pack fighter. I think your father should quit training as a pack fighter and instead concentrate on the parenting of his daughter.”
The girl was shocked that Ryan identified her father’s rank correctly without even seeing him. He even warned her indirectly about his father’s profession. She started to cry. But Ryan did not show any sympathy for her.
He walked to Allison. Everyone was taken aback by Ryan’s statements. Allison was just as surprised as everyone else.
He grabbed her hand and declared it loudly,
“Next time, whoever wants to mock her by taking Ethan’s name, come to me directly. Because I am the one who is pursuing her.”
Chapter 97
There was not a single utterance made by anyone. Allison’s gaze was fixed entirely on Ryan the entire time.
The
way
he warned others about her and the way he declared that he was after her made her feel butterflies in her stomach.
As they left the school, he led her by the hand and pulled her along with him.
Teresa was following in their footsteps from behind. Once she arrived at the parking lot, Max was already there waiting for her.
Ryan took Allison to the parking area. He unlocked his car and opened the front door for her.
She was surprised. “Are we going somewhere?”
He nodded his head. She could see he was in a bad mood. Therefore, she did not ask about anything and simply got into the car.
She peered out the window and gave Teresa a wave.
“Bye. See you tomorrow.”
Teresa gave her a knowing wink. “Enjoy your time. Bye.”
Ryan started the car. Allison relaxed her body against the back of her seat.
“Are you in a bad mood?” She inquired of him.
“Yeah.”
“It’s okay. People like to talk, let them be.”
His brows were knit together in concentration.
“Let them be? It looks like people here don’t have any fear. They never stop making derogatory comments about anyone.”
“They have fear, that is the reason why they quit spreading rumors about me while I was in a relationship with Ethan. But when they realized that we had broken up and that I was no
longer in a relationship,with him, they began the same thing all over again.”
He scoffed upon hearing that. “He called himself a head Alpha? He doesn’t have enough qualities. He needs to learn how to claim his rights first.”
175
“But by taking control of this pack, he is already getting what is his right.” She replied simply.
“Really? Do you think taking over your own pack is an achievement?”
“No, my father never stops talking about him. On the battlefield, he performs admirably. Have you not noticed how pleased Alpha Neil is with him?”
“Yeah, you are right. How can I forget that?” He muttered.
She turned to him. “Ryan, calm down, okay?” She lightly touched his arm and rubbed it.
“Okay, but you have to call me Daddy.”
“What the heck!”
He chuckled and shook his head. She glared at him, but her cheeks turned red.
“I thought you were in a serious mood. But look at you.”
“What can I do? You came to me every time I became furious and attempted to calm me down with your words and your presence. Your touch immediately puts me in a calm state.”
She rolled her eyes. “Stop flirting.”
“Oh, you are thinking that I am trying to flirt with you?”
“Of course.” She remarked while casting a glance out the window.
“By the way, where are we going?”
“In a restaurant.”
“Restaurant?” She asked while turning her attention to him.
In response to her question, he gave her a nod. She did not inquire about anything else and remained silent while he was driving.
The car arrived at the destination, which was a restaurant. They got out of the car. Ryan gave the key to one of the guards and held Allison’s hand.
Even though she was not accustomed to having skinship with others, she smiled whenever he touched her. They proceeded indoors to the restaurant.
It was very similar to a coffee shop. There were very young people there conversing and eating.
(2/5)
The restaurant was exceptionally neat and tidy, and it was adorned with a variety of different potted plants. Many brown tables were set in the shape of school benches, and the branded cups that were displayed on the tables gave the restaurant an attractive look.
Ryan moved in the direction of a stairway made of wood. She was quite surprised when she learned that the beautiful restaurant actually had a second floor.
When they reached the second floor, she gasped.
It was a rooftop restaurant.
The view of the sky was breathtaking. Both the sky and the forest were in front of her.
She looked at the table, which was organized under the open sky.
It was a cloudy day, so the weather was very romantic.
One thing grabbed her attention. There was only one table with two chairs, which were empty.
She turned to him. “Did you book that table for us?”
He smiled and took her to the table.
“Of course, my baby’s first date should be memorable.” He then replied while pulling a chair out for her.
She sat on the chair. Her eyes were fixed on him. He moved over to the other chair and sat down.
“Date?” She asked.
“Yeah. This is your first date with someone, right?”
She shook her head. “No, Ethan took me to a restaurant a few days ago.”
His eyes turned dark. “Don’t you think sometimes you are being too honest?” 1
“Yeah, because I don’t want to start any relationship with you with any lies. I want to be honest with you, and I want you to be honest with me as well.”
Two waiters came to their table and served a variety of appetizers.
Allison thanked them and looked at Ryan.
“You have planned everything?”
“Yes. I thought it was your first-”
By placing her palm over his, Allison was able to get his attention and interrupt him.
“I know that I was involved with him, but other than that, you will always be my first in
everything.”
He took her hand in his and kissed the back of her hand.
“I know. I will not allow anyone to be with you either.”
With a shy smile on her face, Allison lowered her head. She had no idea how all of these things happened. She had feelings for this man, and now he was by her side. When did she start having feelings for him?
“What are you thinking?” He asked before placing her hands on the table.
He gestured to her to eat and talk. She started to eat and replied,
“When did you start to like me?”
He took a break from eating. It was almost as if he had to think about it for a moment before answering her question.
“The night I saw you in the club.”
“The day you returned?” Her question reflected her bewilderment. During that night, she and he argued with each other. She used to dislike him.
“Yeah.”
“Why?”
“Because I saw a girl crying. She did not look like someone who enjoyed going out to clubs and parties. In my eyes, she was different from others. Because I knew who she was. She was an Omega who was searching for love. She needed someone who could protect her. She was a priceless treasure, who had stunning beauty but she was hiding it from others.”
When he described her, she was taken aback by his words.
She quickly averted her gaze to get away from his intense eyes which were staring at her.
Looking at her reaction, he continued,
“From that night on, I thought to make you mine.”
She glanced at him. He did not look like he was joking, or he would laugh the next moment.
45
She saw him running his fingers through his hair. His bangs moved from his forehead a
little.
Something caught her eye, and her eyes widened. “Ryan, what happened to your forehead?”
Chapter 98
Ryan’s fingers paused in his hair for a moment. Then he rubbed his bangs and shook his
head.
“Nothing.”
Allison knew he was clearly lying. Because she had just noticed something on his forehead.
She got on her feet and went to him.
“I said it’s nothing.”
Ryan attempted to convince her, but she was persistent enough to hear him.
She cupped his cheeks and turned him to look up at her.
“Let me see.” She said and brushed his bangs away from his forehead.
Her jaw dropped. There was a big scar on his forehead. It was a raw wound as if he had just been injured.
“How did this happen?” she asked with a shocked tone.
His eyes scrutinized her reaction. He did not let out a word but only observed her
expressions.
“How did you get hurt?” She asked softly while stroking her thumb over the scar.
He hissed, and she gasped as she thought he felt pain. “D–Did I h–hurt you?”
He laughed at her reaction. She frowned at him and hit his arm.
“How dare you make fun of my feelings? I thought you felt pain.” She said with an angry tone and was about to hit him another time on his shoulder, but before that, he grabbed her
waist.
She struggled in his grip. “Let me go. You always make me feel like you are serious. But the next moment you act like a brat.”
He pulled her close, and she fell on his lap.
Her eyes dilated when she realized that she was sitting on his lap.
She slowly looked at him. His hands were wrapped around her. She tried to move, but his grip tightened.
“Someone will see us like that. Leave me.”
“As if I care.” He replied with a smirk.
Her eyes moved to his forehead again.
“How did this happen? You did not reply to me.”
a
“I just got a small cut before returning here.”
“How?”
“A small fight with an old buddy.”
“What type of friends have you made? How come a friend hit another friend like this?”
The wound looked serious. She felt upset after seeing that.
“Relax, Baby.” He assured her and patted her head.
She unknowingly rested her head on his chest. She had a sudden desire to hug him. So she wrapped her hand around him and closed her eyes.
He stroked her hair. “You did not get much sleep last night. I disturbed you.”
“No, I was happy that you came to meet me.”
“Really?”
“Hmm.”
They were quiet for a long time. Allison felt that the way she felt in Ryan’s arms was something very strange and satisfying.
She had never felt anything like that with Ethan.
The way Ryan made her feel shy with his blunt words and, at the same time, the way he her comfort, he was the only one for her.
She had a very strong assumption about Ryan.
gave
She thought that he only liked intimacy and coupling. However, with her, he had never talked to her about those things. He was very patient with her and behaved warmly toward
her.
She had never thought that Ryan could make her this comfortable.
She glanced at the side where a few waiters were coming their way with a trolley of food.
She tried to stand up before they could see her on his lap.
But Ryan refused to let her go. He grasped her tightly. She hid her face on his chest to avoid embarrassment in front of others.
Those waiters cleared their throats and asked politely,
“Sir, sorry to disturb you. We came to serve the main dishes.”
Ryan gave a nod at them and gestured to them to serve the dishes on the table.
They thought Allison was sleeping, so they quietly placed dishes on the table and took the leftovers on their trolley. After that, they left the floor and went downstairs.
“They are gone.” He whispered in her ear.
She turned her head and saw that there was no one around them.
She let out a sigh and pressed her hands on his chest. “Let me go back to my chair.”
She thought he would not let her go, but to her surprise, he released her.
She stood up and walked back to sit on her chair. She looked at the table full of dishes. All of the dishes were the restaurant’s signature dishes.
“Let’s eat.” He told her.
She blinked her eyes a few times as she thought about how she was sitting on his lap a few seconds ago, then focused on her plate.
She glanced at him. He was already eating.
“What?” He asked as he gazed at her.
“Nothing.” She replied and began to eat.
When they were done with their meals, it was already evening. The sky was already dark.
A few waiters came to clean the table. They placed a bottle of red wine in the middle of the
table with a black velvet box.
Allison’s eyes fell on the red wine and the box beside the bottle. When the waiters left, she asked him curiously,
“What is this?”
Ryan opened the bottle and poured two glasses of red wine.
“You know I don’t drink.” She said.
He pushed her glass toward her and said,
“One sip won’t make you drunk.”
She nodded her head. She believed in him. The last time she had a drink was when she went to the club for Owen’s birthday party with him.
She sipped on it and put the glass on the table.
She saw him grabbing the black velvet box.
He rose up from his chair and approached her.
He got down on his left knee.
Her heart began to race as she realized what he was about to do.
When he opened the box, she saw what was inside.
It was a silver–colored chain braided in the middle with a little wolf pendant dangling from it. The trinket appeared to be antique.
Her eyes froze on the beautiful necklace, and she heard his deep voice,
“I can’t give you a ring right now because I am reserving that for a special day. But this is a very special thing to me and I want to give it to you.
So, will you be the sunshine to light up my world?”
Her heart skipped a beat by his statements.
He fixed his eyes into hers and asked with an alluring tone, “Allison, will you be my girlfriend?”
Chapter 99
Allison’s mouth fell open as she continued to stare at Ryan.
He was awaiting her response at the moment.
Before the other night, she was of the opinion that it was still too soon to give in. However, he finally came clean to her about his feelings last night. She put complete faith in him. She trusted his every word.
She bit her bottom lips and nodded her head.
“Yes.”
When he finally received what he wanted, a smile spread across his face. He got to his feet and extended his hand toward her.
She reached out and grabbed his hand before standing. He moved behind her. He shifted her hair so that it was now resting on her shoulder rather than her neck.
He took out the necklace from the box and then placed it around her neck.
She felt his fingertips on her neck and immediately closed her eyes.
He wrapped his arms around her and rested his head on her neck.
“This is a very meaningful necklace. Never remove this necklace from around your neck.”
She reached out and gently caressed the wolf pendant hanging on the chain before nodding her head. “I will never remove this necklace from my neck.”
She felt his lips brushing against her neck. He left butterfly kisses there.
She was wearing a long brown dress. He reached out and grasped the fabric covering her right shoulder then tugged it downward slightly where he was resting his head.
When she felt his lips nipping at her skin, she instantly jerked her head backward. His hold on her waist became increasingly firm, and he began to pull her in closer to his body.
“You have no idea how badly I want you. To me, you are comparable to an addiction. I couldn’t even wait last night and rushed to you. You are killing me inside.”
The combination of his deep voice and his passionate kisses caused her knees to wobble.
He turned her around, and his eyes fell on her chest. Her cleavage was visible because of the way he moved down her cloth a minute ago.
She felt shy under his gaze. She tried to pull up the cloth with one hand, but he grabbed her hands and locked them behind her back.
She let out a gasp as her chest directly pressed against his body.
“No one can stop me from now on. Not even you.” He smirked while looking into her eyes.
She felt a strange sensation inside her.
He leaned his head and kissed her neck. He sniffed and lightly bit on her soft spot.
“Ahh!”
She could not help but moan. Her moan shocked herself. He looked at her and asked,
Are you seducing me, baby?”
She shook her head immediately, like a lost child. She was indeed a baby.
“No, I–I am not.”
He released her, and she took a step backward. She was uncertain as to whether or not he
would be bothered by her statements.
He pulled up her dress in the right place and fixed her hair.
After that, he took her by the hand and led her down the stairs.
She was surprised by his sudden actions. After retrieving the key to his car from the security guard, he proceeded to the parking lot.
It was dark in the parking lot. There were a few yellow lights that were throwing off the ray
to show the way.
He unlocked the car and opened the door for her. She had no idea what had happened to him. She remained quiet as she occupied the passenger seat, which was located next to the
driver’s seat. 1
He then got in the car and locked the car doors.
She was stunned.
“So where were we?” He asked.
She gulped as she turned her head toward him.
“No–Nowhere.”
His sly grin made her nervous. He came close to her and leaned into her face.
“Since you dared to seduce me, let me show how I will respond to you.”
Before she could deny that she did not do anything, he grabbed her waist and pulled her into his lap.
She was shocked. She was sitting on his lap in a position where his legs were in the middle of her both legs. Because of this, her dress was ruffled up and stopped at her mid–thighs. Her bare legs came to be visible.
His hands moved slowly over her legs. They halted when they reached her thighs.
She felt shivers all over her body. Her hands were on his shirt. She fisted his shirt.
“I didn’t try to seduce you.” She mumbled.
His right hand left her leg. He placed his thumb on her cheek and his other fingers behind her ear. They began to play with her ear.
She felt ticklish in her ear. She was unaware that she could experience something like this in
her ear.
He drew her close to him and whispered something in her ear.
“But your moan did.”
She froze the moment his lips touched her earlobe.
He started by nibbling on it, and then he bit it very softly. She felt her body start to feel something inside.
She could not believe how much pleasure he was bringing her by simply doing something to her ear. She was speechless.
His lips proceeded slowly down to her neck, then moved to her collarbone.
She felt pain at the same time as pleasure when he sucked there. It was a painful pleasure.
She could not stop herself and moaned in the car.
He was the one who messed her up.
He took a hold of her hair and drew her attention to himself.
She gazed into his eyes and perceived something there that she was unable to decipher.
He brought his lips close to hers and kissed her. She closed her eyes and let him kiss her.
He sucked her lips hungrily as if he had been missing it for a long time.
The sensation of his lips still pressing on hers gave her chills, and the kiss itself was bringing her pleasure. He kept his hands on her body.
She was no longer able to hold herself back. She gave in by encircling his neck with her hand and kissing him in return.
He pushed his tongue inside, and their tongues played together.
She moaned in the kiss when his hands caressed her bare thighs; it made her feel a tingling sensation between her legs.
When she felt like she was going to pass out, he released her. She exerted her best effort to inhale deeply.
He wrapped his arms around her and began to gently stroke her hair. She closed her eyes while hugging him.
“You are tired by just a kiss?” She heard him.
She was feeling too shy to look at him. So she did not reply to anything.
After a while, Ryan heard soft snoring coming from her. He looked at her face. She ended up falling asleep.
Last night, she only managed to get about four hours of sleep. Then she had to go to school. So he let her rest in his arms.
He rested his back against his seat while hugging her and muttered,
“I will make you mine by not having your body but your soul. It all depends on what kind of
person you want me to be.
A hero or a villain.”
Chapter 100
When Allison opened her eyes, she found that she was still being held by Ryan.
She shifted back and looked at him. He was staring at her.
“Did you sleep well?” He asked with a soft tone.
“Hmm.”
She rubbed her eyes and hummed softly to him in reply before yawning.
He could not help but chuckle at her adorableness.
He peeked at her lips.
The instant her lips met his, the drowsiness that had been in her eyes vanished. As if she were a little girl, he gently stroked her head.
“You are free to go back to sleep. I will drive you back to your house.”
She made an effort to get off his lap, but he gripped her waist with one hand while starting
the car with the other.
“Sleep on my arms.”
“But how will you drive?”
“I can.”
He drove the car out of the parking lot with one hand on the steering wheel while he used
the other hand to hold her.
“No.” She spoke in a mumbling way.
He
gave her a fleeting look. “Stop trying to be so adorable. I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to restrain myself.” He muttered.
“W–What?”
“Nothing, baby. Sleep.” He then leaned down and gave her a kiss on the head..
She was like an obedient baby, she listened to him and tried to sleep.
But she was unable to return to her previous state of slumber. She took a quick look out the window that was next to them.
The way he was treating her, she felt she was the luckiest person in the world.
While he was concentrating on the road, she gave his chest a gentle kiss.
She pondered, What if the road never came to an end, and they were forced to remain in that position forever?
She had the desire to spend the rest of her life with him.
In only two short days, he made her feel like a princess.
She could hear the ringing of her phone in her backpack.
That time, she realized that it was night, despite the fact that she had spent the entire day away from home. They might have been concerned about her.
“It must be my parents.” She spoke out.
“Tell them you were with Teresa.”
“But she doesn’t know that I am still outside.”
“I called Max and told him to let Teresa know about it.”
“You sound like a master planner.”
“That’s what I am.”
She chuckled and glanced at her bag. She wanted to receive the call. But she could not move at this moment. Ryan was driving, and she was hugging her like a baby. If she tried to move, anything could happen.
When the car reached close to her house, she said,
“Stop the car here. I can go from here.”
He did what she told him. He knew her dad would scold her if he saw her with him.
He wrapped both of his hands around her and hugged her.
“I don’t want you to leave.”
“I have to leave.”
He slowly released her, and she moved to her seat.
She fixed her clothes and hair then turned to him.
“Bye.”
He grinned at her and nodded.
“I will be here until you reach the door. Don’t worry.”
“Okay.”
She got out of the car and felt fresh air touching her face. She turned the other way. There was a bright smile on her face.
She felt everything around her was new and fresh. She could feel the wind, and the sweet smell enveloped the air.
It felt like love was in the air.
When she got to the front door of her home, she rang the doorbell.
Her mother rushed to the door to open it and embraced her daughter in a tight bear hug.
“We were so worried for you.” Her mother said to her.
She hugged back. “Mom, I was in Teresa’s house.”
“I know, I called her when you were not receiving my calls. She said you were sleeping.”
“Yeah, I was feeling so sleepy. I am sorry that I made you worried.”
“No, my child. You are fine, that’s okay for us.”
When Allison entered the house, she found that her father was seated on the couch.
He looked at her and shook his head.
“How can you be so irresponsible? Your mother would have passed away from anxiety.”
“I am so sorry, Dad.” She said with an upset tone.
“It’s okay. Go and freshen up. We will have dinner together.”
Allison was full after having meals with Ryan.
But she could not deny her father, so she simply nodded and went to her bedroom.
She placed her phone on the bed. Her phone’s light illuminated.
She saw a text. The text was sent to her by Ryan.
“All okay?”
She smiled and typed,
“Yeah, everything is okay. Are you still there?”
“Yes.”
“Go back to your home.”
“I am starting the car.”
“Don’t use your phone while driving.”
She heard her mother shouting,
“ALLISON, COME DOWN. DINNER IS READY.”
She forgot that she had been using the phone for quite a few minutes.
She saw that another text had popped up.
“Okay, baby.”
She bit her lower lip in an attempt to suppress her smile and placed her phone on the bed.
She went to the bathroom to take a shower and change her clothes.
Her eyes widened when she saw her lower neck and her collarbone. There were hickeys here
and there.
She was thankful that her dress was very decent and did not reveal much of her neck. That was why her parents did not see anything. Otherwise, today would be her funeral.
She shyly glanced at the hickeys through the mirror and thought about the moments he did these things to her.
She hid her face with her palms as she recalled those moments.
After taking a shower and wearing warm clothes, she went out of the bathroom.
She gave the mirror on the dressing table a quick peek in order to determine whether or not any of the hickeys were visible.
“It’s good. Nothing is visible.”
She went downstairs and headed to the dining table.
Her parents were waiting for her at the table.
She sat on her chair and her mother served the food.
When they were eating, Allison saw that her father was quiet. He usually talked to her or her mother while eating.
“Dad, are you okay? Your mood is off today.” Allison inquired.
Her mother shook her head and said,
“Something happened that made everyone in the pack house’s mood off.”
She frowned after hearing her mother and asked her father,
“Dad, what happened?”
Her father replied with a worried tone,
“The Red Moon pack got attacked by the Black Moon pack.
Last night, their Alpha killed Alpha Axel and demolished the whole pack.”
