Chapter 87

Allison stared at Ethan for a few seconds, then heard her father from inside the car,
Allison, get:
“Y–Yeah, Dad.”
the car.”
Ethan released her hand, and she climbed into the car.
The driver turned the car’s engine on. After that, there was complete silence.
Joey rubbed Glen’s shoulder.
“Glen, relax. Why are you looking so angry?”
Glen was sitting in the front passenger seat beside the driver’s seat. Allison was sitting beside her
mother in the back seat.
“Have you seen how that boy behaved with his father? He is a boy with absolutely no manners at
all. He never showed any sign of politeness. That being the case, Alpha dispatched him to the
outside so that he might gain some social skills. Today, he went below the belt. Alpha was so angry.
I don’t know if one day we will have to see the father–son fight.
Allison had a sickening feeling of dread. She was paying close attention to what was being said in
the conversation.
“He is not that bad. He needs someone to guide him.” Joey said as she tried to convince him.
“No matter what, he can’t be changed. He should thank Ethan for taking over our pack soon.
Otherwise, if, as an heir, he had to take on his father’s responsibility, he would drown our pack. He
does not have any leadership qualities or any fighting spirit.”
Allison lowered her head. She was feeling bad for Ryan.
She wanted him to learn some techniques for battle so that, in the future, he could prove
himself to others.
She did not want others to always mock him.
However, Ryan had a fault too. He always bit around the bush. He never talked to his family
appropriately.
She did not know when all of this would end. She wanted them to be happy together.
That night,
Allison thought about many things. Ethan told her to stay away from Ryan, which she could not do.
She lost control of herself.
“Do I really have feelings for Ryan? Do I really like him?” She asked herself the question
repeatedly.
She spent the entirety of the night dwelling on it in her mind.
The next morning, she went to school.
Teresa saw her and came to give her a big hug.
“I called you when I heard you had called me. But you did not receive my calls. Was everything
okay?”
Allison broke the hug with a nod. Her eyes fell on Teresa’s neck.
There were two small star marks on her neck.
Mar
marked you?”
Teresa lowered her head shyly and nodded.
Allison’s eyes widened. “I can’t believe my best friend is blushing.”
Allison hugged her tightly. “I am very happy for you, Tess.”
“I know.‘
They went to the cafe to have a chat. Allison spilled the beans to Teresa about everything
that went down between her and Ryan, including the kiss.
This time, she did not attempt to conceal anything.
“WHAT!!”
Allison immediately pressed her palm over Teresa’s mouth.
“Others will hear you.”
Teresa removed her hand from her mouth, but her lips were parted.
“He kissed you?”
“Yeah.” Allison replied and looked down.
“But you are already in a relationship with someone else.”
“Exactly. I am guilty, Tess. What will I do now?” She inquired while lightly grasping Teresa’s hands.
“I warned you right from the start that you have a very muddled relationship with your emotions. I
told you that you did not look happy with Ethan. I think that you are developing feelings for Ryan.
You fell for him.”
Allison did not respond. She spent the entirety of the night pondering the situation before arriving at
the conclusion.
“You are right. I have feelings for him.”
“Now what will you do? I told you to reconsider your decision. But you did not listen to me. Now
what is your plan?”
“I will talle to
will talk to Ethan.”
“What talk? You will break up with him directly. You don’t love him anymore. So this relationship is
meaningless.”
Allison nodded her head but turned to Teresa.
She looked at her suspiciously.
“Wait a minute. You always hate Ryan, right? But today, you are not badmouthing him. What
happened to you?”
Teresa rolled her eyes. “Oh, please. I never hated him. I just used to dislike him. However, Max has
revealed to me that he has feelings for you and wants to be with you. He said to me that Ryan
stopped going with other women because of you. He wanted to be only with you. But then you
decided to accept Ethan, which infuriated him, and as a result, he started hanging around with other
women in a fit of rage.”
Allison remembered how angry Ryan was when he heard her accepting Ethan’s proposal in Ethan’s
cabin in the hospital.
“One thing, Tess. I don’t know how I will talk to Ethan about this. I am feeling blameworthy. He
saved me from danger twice. I am alive because of him. Now how can I leave him because of his
brother?”
Teresa stared at Allison.
“What?” Allison asked her.
“You accepted him because of that incident, right? You yourself knew that you did not love him
anymore. You were just guilty.”
Allison attempted to evade her sight by turning her head away from her.
Teresa was looking at her as she held her chin and tilted her head towards her.
“Honey, you messed up yourself.”
“I know, Tess.”
“Tell Ethan that you don’t love him. You tried to accept him, but you can’t be with him anymore.”
“I will.”
They made their way to attend their classes. After all the classes, Allison came out of the school to
leave.
Today Ryan did not come to school. Max said he had something to do, so he could not make it
today.
Allison saw her father’s driver waiting for her outside in her father’s car.
She headed to the car but halted when another car stopped in front of her.
It was Ethan’s car. She glanced at the driver’s seat. He was sitting inside the car.
She walked to the window. He lowered the rolled–down window glass.
“Ethan, why didn’t you come to school today?”
Since he was absent from all of his classes today, she decided to question him about it.
Ethan gestured for her to sit in the front seat beside him.
“Get in. I came to pick you up so I could take you out to lunch.”
