Allison brought Ethan to the garden, which was far away from where the party was going."Ethan, what was that?" Allison questioned him while she was keeping an eye on him."What are you talking about?" He asked with confusion in his eyes."Don't tell me any lies. Tell me what is going on in your head.""Allison, I wanted to talk to you about it." He said with a lower tone.He appeared to be trying to avoid looking into her eyes by lowering his head.Allison moved toward him and took hold of his arm. "Look at me. What's wrong with you, Ethan? What brought on that strange stare in Elora's direction? It has been brought to my attention that the way you behave in front of her is different. And the way you reacted last night, that was totally unexpected.""I am lost, Allison." He let out and moved away from her.She was stunned by his words. "Why?"He turned around and began to walk inside the garden. She followed him."Ethan, you are doing wrong. She is engaged to Ryan at this time. How i
Allison turned to him. She was too shocked to react to his words."What?"Ethan nodded his head. "I am feeling broken inside each day I see her with him. I realized our bond the moment she came to the pack house."Allison recalled the day when Ryan had come to visit the pack. That day, she had seen Ethan behaving strangely. But that time, she thought he was jealous of Ryan and did not like that Ryan turned out to be so powerful.'So it was because he was feeling the mate bond?' she thought."I tried to stay away from her. But the mate bond is something that can't let me stay away. Her scent always pulled me toward her. I could stop my wolf before I rejected you. But this time, my wolf became out of control, and my heart reacted the same as well.""Why didn't you tell me about it all these times?""I thought I could handle myself. I did not want you to let go."Allison tightened her fists as she stared at him."Why were you so adamant to be with me?""I can't tell you why. I am not all
Allison came out of the garden. She was frightened for the future.What she had just heard was something that could cause a clash between two brothers."He knows about it. Then why didn't he let Elora go?" She questioned herself as she made her way into the hallway.She did a quick scan of the area.'I think I should talk to him about it.' She thought and tried to find Ryan.When her eyes found him, she was a little surprised. She saw Ryan talking with Alpha Neil.She stood in a corner and did not go to disturb the father-son's conversation."Where were you?" She heard a voice.She turned and replied, "Teresa, I was in the garden.""The way you dragged Ethan like that! What happened?""Teresa, I am feeling scared."Teresa wrapped her arm around Allison and rubbed her arm. "Why? Are you okay? Did your father continue to make an effort to exert his influence over you? Or is Ethan more adamant than ever about keeping you?"Allison shook her head and responded,"Tess, he confessed to me a
While sitting on the bar, Max was informing Ryan about the pack. Meanwhile, Ryan's eyes were fixed on the way Allison took Ethan. He could see Elora making her way in that direction."In my opinion, we shouldn't put any stock in what Mr. Charles says. Even though he is reliable in his work, I have a sneaking suspicion about him." Max said."Yeah, bro. I also feel the same. In fact, Colin sometimes warned me about him." This was said by Vernon as he took sips from his drink."Ryan, are you paying attention to what I'm saying?" Max asked when he gave Ryan a shoulder pat."I am all ears." He replied without moving his gaze.Max shook his head and uttered, "We will talk about it later. You are not in a mood right now."Ryan did not respond to it. At that moment, his father approached him."Would you mind giving me some time to talk to him?" His father said to Beta Max and Theta Vernon.After exchanging a glance with one another, Max and Vernon shook their heads in response to Alpha Neil.
Neil looked at Ryan with eyes filled with disbelief as he stared at him. He thought back to the night of Glen's birthday once again. He could remember how Allison hugged him and defended him. He recalled the night of Ryan's birthday when Ryan was okay until he announced Ethan's wedding announcement."Did she feel the same?" He asked his son with a cold voice.When Ryan heard that, he laughed out loud. While he glanced at Allison, he took a sip from his drink."I thought so. But..." He paused and smirked."Her faithfulness turned out to be unfaithful."Alpha Neil could not understand what to say. He was completely unaware of what was going on around him."I-I-"He stuttered for the first time as he lost his words. He tried and wanted to say something, but before that, someone mind linked him.He immediately stood up with wide eyes."Ethan?"He uttered it and turned to Ryan."Wade just linked me. He said something happened to Ethan." After saying that, he dashed off in the direction of
Everyone rushed to the garden when Wade contacted them through mind links.He told them that Ethan was not okay."ETHAN!"When Ella saw her son laying on the ground, she let out a shrieking cry. The white shirt he was wearing was covered with blood."What in the world happened to him?" In a fit of rage, Alpha Neil asked Wade."I don't know. I was searching for him when Allison said he was in the garden." Wade replied.Everyone turned their heads toward Allison."How did something like this happen, Allison?" Glen put the question to his daughter.Allison was rendered, unable to respond due to her shock. Her eyes welled up with tears as she looked at him. She had a hard time accepting that Ethan was in the condition that he was in. She just saw him, and he seemed to be in perfect health.She balled her hands into fists as she recalled that Elora had been with Ethan when she left him there."It's not time for this. Call Linus." Alpha Neil said."He is on the way." Wade replied.Other off
"My mom? How can she help him?" Elora asked with confusion."Only she can describe that. Uncle Neil is trying to contact her. But she is not picking up his calls. Do something and ask her to come here. Hurry up." Allison said to her.Teresa took her phone out of her purse and gave it to Elora."Here is my phone. Call her."Elora shook her head. "No, I need to call her with my phone."Allison scoffed at her. "Stop crying and wasting your time. He doesn't have much time."Saying that, she left the room."Teresa, I didn't mean to kill him. I didn't want to." Elora sobbed and hugged her."Elora, please call your mom."Elora nodded and rushed to her bed to search for her phone. She found it and dialed her mother's number.She glanced at Teresa. Teresa smiled at her and said,"You can talk to her. I am leaving. Take care of yourself."Elora stared at Teresa, who walked to the door. She left the room and closed the door behind her.The moment the door closed, Elora sat on the bed and looked
Allison stared at Ryan. He showed no emotion whatsoever, making it appear as though her remarks had no impact on him at all."Stay away from me and my family." After saying that, she exited the room.She was seething with rage. She was taken aback by the fact that Ryan was aware of the mate bond between Ethan and Elora. She knew Elora was not the only one behind the rejection. Ryan might push her to do that.Allison proceeded to the room in which Ethan had been moved.She noticed Ella was crying silently. Alpha Neil was walking back and forth in the room.Linus was sitting on the edge of the bed, checking on Ethan's health from time to time.Allison glanced at Ethan. He was lying on the bed, lifeless. Only his heart was beating to tell others that he was still alive."I will put an end to her life if I ever find the woman who rejected my son." Alpha Neil said."I asked the maids if they saw who had entered the garden at that time." Glen said to Alpha Neil while gazing at Allison.Alli
