Chapter 22

“Allison, let’s talk.”
She attempted to blink her tears away. She made an effort to take deep breaths.
She was able to ignore him the whole time since he was far away and did not approach her. But he
was now close to her. How could she put a halt to this heinous heart?
She usually said flatly that she didn’t care about him, but was this true?
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have anything to talk about with you.” She responded without looking at him.
“But I have.”
She scowled and turned to face him.
“Do you still have the courage to talk to me after all you have done?”
Ethan was able to glimpse into her eyes. It looked glossy as if she was trying to keep herself from
sobbing.
He didn’t know why, but he wanted to be lost in those lovely eyes for
the first time.
He suddenly felt her more beautiful, as if she was blooming.
“What? You don’t have anything to say anymore? Good.”
She tried to pass him but grabbed her wrist.
“I need to talk to you.”
She snatched her hand. “How dare you touch me!”
“My intention was not bad. I am just trying to talk to you.”
“Why? Why do you need to speak to me? Go to your Alpha she-wolf, who can defend herself. Go
talk to her. You must be devastated by your breakup, don’t you? And why wouldn’t you? You had
finally found the right, deserving woman for you. However, she discovered your real colors and
abandoned you. Isn’t it?”
Allison let out a lot of words all at once. She realized she had never spoken to him so much before.
Last time it was her birthday night when he rejected her.
How viciously and arrogantly he rejected her!
“She did not abandon me. In fact, I ended things with her.”
“Yes, yes. What can anybody expect from a guy like you? Maybe you met someone more deserving
so you broke her heart as well.”
Ethan shook his head. “Forget about it. Tell me what happened to you? Are you okay?”
Allison stared at him coldly. “You left me to die that night. Do you know that, Alpha Ethan? It’s a
blessing that I am still alive. You did not think about me at that time, what happened to you
suddenly?”
“Just answer what I asked you.”
“Why? Who are you? You are no one to me. So from now on, please stay away from me.”
“Listen, Alliso-”
She stopped him by lifting her hand.
“You have already destroyed me. I didn’t tell anyone about your rejection and continued with my life
as usual. So stay away if you have a bit of shame.”
~
She moved from him and approached the front door. She entered by opening the door.
Ethan let out a sigh and lowered his head. He could not refute that what she stated was correct.
He felt embarrassed by what he had done to her. It would be less if she blamed him for her whole
life.
From the night of rejection, He could not forget that moment. He made every effort to ignore her. He
attempted to be the bad guy in front of her by standing up for Julie in front of the whole cafe. He
even set up a fake relationship with Julie in order for her to move on from his rejection.
However, he was unknowingly the one who was unable to move on.
He had no idea why.
Did he start regretting his decision?
She had changed completely in only a few weeks. New appearan new attitude. He first assumed
that she was doing all of this to ge his attention.
But he was completely wrong!
She was just doing these for herself. She desired a fresh life apart from him. She acted as if he did
not exist for her. She was continually ignoring him. She avoided him several times in the same class
while he was near her seat.
He recalled how she used to make an attempt to get his attention.
Yes, he was aware of her feelings from the start. He was a mature man. He could see how the girls,
particularly Allison, were staring at
him.
She constantly came to any event just to see him in the pack house.
She wanted to join him.
He was aware of her constant efforts to approach him. Just like the day she ran into him and he
grabbed her into his arms. He was aware of their mate bond at that moment.
She came to help him initially when he and Ryan had a fight over their family problem. When she
caressed his cheeks and asked if he was alright, he could see the worry in her eyes. He was
frightened that she would have developed hopes for him. As a result, he shoved her hands.
He understood her feelings for him, therefore he did not provide her with any hope.
Because he was an Alpha. He was not an ordinary Alpha, but he was the head Alpha. He was
raised to believe that his life was for his people.
He was not Ryan, who could think first for himself, then for others. H could not possibly be desirous.
He had no life of his own.
After his parents’ death, the way Alpha Neil and Luna Ella accepted him, they let him call them
‘Mom’ and ‘Dad’ so he would not feel like an orphan.
He had promised himself from that day that he would give his life for them. He always did what
Alpha Neil said. He lived the way he instructed him to live. He transformed himself into a flawless
guy so that Alpha Neil would never regret adopting him as his son.
In such a situation, how could he accept an Omega? What about his pack? He was unable to listen
to his heart, but only just his brain.
He smiled sadly and mumbled,
“I wish I could be careless like Ryan and live my life as I wanted to live.
He looked at the chamber and thought,
‘I wish I had not rejected you and had some courage to accept you,
my Omega.’
