Allison came back home safely and shifted back. The moment she entered her bedroom, she immediately began to reflect on what Ryan had said.Was he talking about her? Did they really get close to each other?She remembered their meeting at the club when he returned the pack. He was an arrogant boy in her eyes. But now she felt that he had a different side too.How did he change her perception of him?The next morning, she woke up late. Teresa called her, and she woke up by the call. "Allison, where are you?""Teresa, let me sl-""No, I need to tell you something. I'm in school. Hurry up and come to the school."Allison rubbed her eyes and sat up. She checked the time and hurriedly got ready. She could not get proper sleep last night."Allison, first have breakfast." Joey shouted behind her when she saw her running to the main door."No, no. I'm late, Mom. I will have something in the canteen.""Don't forget to come back early today.""Okay, Mom."Allison hailed a cab to go to school.
"Oh, it's Luna Ella's birthday." Allison mumbled. Ethan nodded his head. "Yeah. I wanted to come ask if you could assist me in choosing some presents for my mother."Teresa was standing there, feeling awkward. She felt she was disturbing their conversation."Well, we were about to have our lunch." She let out to Ethan."Yeah, sure, you can both have lunch, I can wait for Allison outside." Ethan said to Teresa and turned to Allison.Allison was too perplexed to say anything. She could not refuse to help Ethan. She should also buy something for Luna Ella, so she agreed."Okay, wait for me. I am coming after lunch."Ethan left the cafeteria. Teresa sat down on the chair and raised a brow."What?" Allison asked."You agreed to go with him.""Yeah. I thought I should buy something for his mother too. She is a sweet person.""Are you sure you don't have any soft spots for him?""What? Why did you ask that?""Because you could have disagreed. But you could not refuse him. You tried to stay
Everyone was getting ready for tonight's party. Allison looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a long white dress with a white pearl necklace. White was Luna Ella's favorite color. So tonight's party theme was white. Allison went downstairs. Her parents were waiting for her. "You are looking so beautiful." Her mother praised her. Her father patted her head. "Let's go. We are getting late."They made their way to their car and then drove off in the direction of the pack house. Allison looked outside the window. Today, she heard many things from Ethan. He patched up Julie after the rejection because he wanted her to move on, but then realized that he had feelings for her. So now he wanted her back in his life.'It is not easy to love someone and then, all of a sudden, forget about that person.' She thought about herself while her eyes were fixed on the sky. The car stopped in front of the pack house. She got out of the car with her parents. So many cars were parked out
"This is Ryan, my younger son."Luna Ella introduced Ryan to Georgiana. Allison gave a brief peek in the direction of Ryan. Surprisingly, he was staring intently at Georgiana the whole time. He slightly shook his head at Georgiana. If Allison did not look at him carefully, she could not see his little move. "N-Nice to meet you, Al-""Ryan"His cold voice made Alpha Neil frown at him."Talk to her nicely. Stop being a brat. She is a powerful lady." "No no. It's okay, Neil." Georgiana said immediately.Allison felt that she was defending Ryan. But Ryan was calm as usual. His father's tone did not bother him at all. "He was abroad all this time. He recently came back for his brother's coronation." Luna Ella said to Georgiana. Ryan scoffed when he heard that. "Excuse me? I didn't come here for him. I came here because Alpha Neil told me that I could leave this pack forever after his son takes over his pack.""Ryan! Shut your mouth." Alpha Neil scolded him while glancing at others.
"Really? What did you see? What did I do?" Ryan asked her.Allison frowned at him. "I saw that you were shaking your head, trying to tell her something. And she also looked strange as if she knew you."He stared at her for a while. "Why are you silent?""You caught me. I'm impressed."Allison rolled her eyes. "I'm not here to impress you. I heard what she had said to you."His eyes became dark when he heard her. She felt nervous under his gaze."What did you hear?" He asked and stepped towards her. She unknowingly stepped back, but Ryan grabbed her hand and closed the door."What are you doing?" She was startled.He turned to her and glared at her. "Spill out. What did you hear?"His cold gaze made her heart shake a little. She looked away from him. He had never looked at her like this before. She stepped back, and her back pressed against the wall beside the door. He stared at her."Now why are you crying?" She realized that tears were dripping out of her eyes. She yanked her h
Ryan touched her hand, which rested on his shoulder, and smiled at her."You are thinking too much. I try to avoid making contact with my pack members because I am not one of their permanent fellows."Allison did not like his answer. Something inside her heart was telling her that he was hiding something."If you want to share anything with anyone, you can come to me, okay?""Really? What has changed your mind so suddenly? Because what I remember is that you wanted to keep your distance."She was taken aback. She pulled her hand from her grip. He was so right. She was the one who wanted that. However, at this point, why did she want him to approach her? Why did she encourage him to talk about his suffering with her?She blinked a few times and took a deep breath. "I-I think I should g-""Hey, relax. I will not eat you alive.""I should go. My parents are waiting for me downstairs."She grabbed the doorknob and was about to twist it but she heard him behind her,"I told you that I wo
His words were beyond her understanding. She stared into his eyes. His lips slowly touched her cheek. She closed her eyes as she knew what was coming after that.He leaned in to kiss her lips, but as he was about to touch her lips, someone knocked on the door.Her eyes flung open, and she pushed him."Ryan, what are you doing in your room? Let's have dinner together." Luna Ella's voice came from out of the door. Allison's eyes widened. She looked around to hide herself."Tsk! Mom, bad timing." He roared.Allison looked at him. "What am I going to do now?" She asked in a whisper."What? Stay here.""No, she will see me.""So?""I don't want her to see me here."Ryan stared at her. His mother kept banging on the door like some disaster had come to their house."Stay behind the door." He said, and she moved from the door.Ryan opened the door, and his mother was about to come, but he stopped her."Where are you coming?""My son, where are your manners? Will you behave with your mother l
In the next few weeks, Allison focused on her studies. She tried to forget everything and concentrate on her semester. But it was not easy to forget everything because she was zoning out inside her heart. She was unable to get Ryan out of her head. She could not speak to Teresa about him either. She knew that everyone would only warn her about him. 'Are you willing to give me your heart?' His words wandered through her mind every day. She encountered him in classes before the exam week, but he always avoided her, and she tried to do the same. She had also not heard anything about him going out with other girls.In spite of her exams, she had to go to training. It was also compulsory. She met Ethan daily. He showed her how he had changed for her. He asked her daily about her feelings until yesterday.He said he would ask her again, and if she answered no that time, he would never ask her about giving him a chance.Allison knew her own answer. She would never give him another chanc
