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
She turned her head to him. "You will take me to another pack?""Yeah. If you agree with me, then."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 mirror
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
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
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,
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.
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 p
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."
