Chapter 122
Alpha Neil frowned at Ryan, who ignored him and motioned for his officials to sit close to him. Elora sat on the right side, next to him, where a Luna should sit.
Others took their seats and sat down.
Allison did not want to look at Ryan. But she could not stop herself. Her gaze was drawn back and forth between him and Teresa.
Teresa was avoiding her, and she had no idea why. She did not expect that from Teresa.
Allison glanced at everyone. Everyone had a different look on their face.
Her father, Alpha Neil, and Ethan had the same expressions. They were mad at Ryan. But because of his identity, they were reluctant to say anything to him.
She took a deep breath and focused on her plate. For now, she could only do that. She was not feeling well. Her mind could not process much right now.
“Everyone is very silent here, Teresa. You mentioned that I would like this pack. But things are going in the opposite direction here.” Elora was eating when she said. Her face was filled with disappointment.
Allison raised her head and gazed at Teresa. She rubbed Elora’s arm and smiled at her.
“I’ll make sure you have a good time here. Don’t be concerned. I’ll take you to visit ‘Moonlight Crown University‘. Our school is a really admirable place. Then this pack also has clubs, theaters, shopping malls, and other places. Don’t worry.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
Allison stared at Teresa. The way Teresa’was behaving with Elora, she used to behave like that only with her.
She tightened her fists as she darted at Elora. She shook her head and calmed herself.
“It’s not her fault.” She told herself this and tried to divert her mind.
“Will
you accompany me, Ryan?”
Elora’s voice rang out to her. She looked at Ryan, who was eating calmly. He paused and gazed at Elora. He was quiet for some time. Then he replied,
“I will.”
His eyes suddenly roamed around the room as if he were searching for something. They stopped when they met her eyes.
Allison felt something stuck in her throat. She started coughing. She didn’t expect Ryan to look at her.
“Drink it.”
Ethan poured her a glass of water and handed it to her.
She grabbed it and chucked down the water. Ethan rubbed her back and said,
“I always tell you. Don’t eat fast. You never pay attention to me.” He stated it softly while looking over at Ryan.
Anyone who knew what he was up to could tell that he was saying such things to show Ryan.
“It looks like Alpha Ethan really loves his Luna a lot.” Elora said.
However, her tone did not come from appreciation. It felt like a mockery.
“Of course, I do. He is the only woman in my life.” Ethan sounded confident. [1
Allison pushed Ethan’s hand from her back very lightly, so no one noticed that.
“What about you?” Elora asked. Her query did not stop.
It was like she was eager to ask those questions, and she wanted the answers right away.
Allison looked at Elora and smiled.
“I also do.” She paused and glanced at Ryan. His eyes were still on her, which surprised her. But she could see only loathe in his eyes.
“After all, I am his soon–to–be Luna.”
Allison’s response was the same as Elora’s in the living room.
Elora’s eyes scrutinized Allison.
Allison felt her gaze was scornful.
She wondered if Ryan had told her something about her. Otherwise, why was she looking at her in that way?
Elora parted her lips to ask another question, but Ryan interrupted her with,
“Eat quietly.”
Elora focused on eating rather than conversing as if it were an order she had to obey in some
way.
Alpha Neil and Allison’s father smiled at each other as they were pleased with Allison’s
response.
Meanwhile, Ethan was aware that Allison was deceiving others, but he was relieved that she admitted that she loved him, even if it was a lie.
There was silence in the living room for a while.
Ethan broke the silence and looked at Max.
“We have prepared guest rooms for all of you. My Delta will accompany you to your accommodations. After dinner, you can relax there. I will set up a pack meeting for tomorrow.”
Max nodded at him and asked,
“What is the sole purpose of the meeting?”
Ethan was taken aback by the question.
“Just an orientation with other Alphas.” He replied.
Max turned his head to Ryan. “Alpha, do you agree with it?”
Allison was astounded by Max’s professionalism. The way he was calling Ryan ‘Alpha‘, she still remembered that they were best friends.
“Since you have come here to visit. Other Alphas should get the opportunity to meet with you.
Vernon said to Ryan.
Ryan nodded at them without speaking. His mood was gloomy. Or was he pondering something else?
Everyone fell silent again. The dinner went well.
After dinner, Ethan’s Delta showed every one of the Black Moon Pack to their rooms.
Allison and her parents decided to leave since it was late at night.
“I am coming in a minute.” Allison said as she glanced upstairs.

She climbed the stairs and walked in the hallway. She wanted to talk to Teresa. She wanted to ask why she was behaving like that with her.
How could a best friend do that to another? They used to refer to one another as “sisters from another mother.”
She noticed a lot of rooms in the hallway. She took a look at the last two rooms, which were directly across from each other.
She remembered choosing the left room for the Beta of that pack because she had heard he was coming with his wife.
She made her way to the room while thinking about what she would ask Teresa. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
She knocked on the door and waited outside.
When she could not get any reply, she knocked again. She knocked a few times, but still no reply.
She opened the door and entered the room.
“Teresa? Are you here?”
She noticed that there was no one in the room, not Max or Teresa,
at anyone.
“Perhaps I came to an empty room.” She mumbled and moved her gaze to the door.
At that moment, the door of the bathroom opened.
She turned around and saw Ryan coming out in casual clothes. His hair was wet, indicating that he had just showered.
When his eyes fell on her, his brow wrinkled.
“Why are you here?” His voice sounded profound and tinged with bitterness.
She gulped after hearing his question. Her lips trembled at just his cold look. “I–I was j–just..”
She stuttered, but she paused when she saw him coming towards her. She stepped backward. She tried to explain,
“I–I came to mee-”
Before she could finish her sentence, he grabbed her throat and pressed her back against a wall.
Her eyes widened at his action.
His hand tightened his grip. His glare shook her whole body to its core.
He was not the Ryan she knew. He had changed into a different person.
His husky voice warned her, and his eyes peered at her as if she were his prey. “Stay away from me if you want to stay alive.”
