Chapter 146
Allison lowered her head. She had nothing to say about her father. Even her mother supported her father. She was unable to comprehend the fact that she had also turned her back on Ryan.
“Allison.” She turned to Teresa and saw her crying. “I am so sorry. I should have been with you.” Teresa said. Tears kept rolling down her cheeks. Allison smiled at Teresa sadly and hugged her.
“Don’t cry. I am happy that you are back to me. I was so alone at that time.” Saying that Allison could not stop her shuddering voice. She could not stop herself anymore. The two close friends comforted one another with hugs and tears as they sobbed together. After breaking the hug, Teresa held Allison’s hand and made her sit on the bed, then sat next to her.
“Allison, what you did was never your wish. What’s now? How will you live like this?”
Allison shook her head. “It’s been a while. Everyone has changed, including me. Currently, this is my life. There is nothing else that I can do at this time.”
“But-”
“Teresa, relax. I told you the truth because you are my best friend. Don’t tell this to others. All of this was in my past. My present and future are what I am right now.”
Teresa sat there without moving or uttering a word. It seemed as though she was in conflict with herself in some way. Then she asked, “How did you pass all those days?”
“By training.”
“So, are you ready to be this pack’s Luna?”
“What else can I do? Life never gave me the chance to let me live like I wanted. It broke my heart at first by rejection, and then when I tried to mend it, it broke me once again.”
Teresa had no words to console Allison. Where they came in was a really critical point in life.
“I think…” Teresa said but paused.
“What?” Allison asked as she turned her head to her. She saw that her head was down.
“I think he still loves you.”
Allison let out a chuckle as she rubbed the palm of her hand with her thumb. “No, I have seen hatred in his eyes. I deserve it. I am the one to blame for the animosity.”
“Don’t say that.” Teresa talked to her for a while, then she got a call from Max. “I think I should leave now.” Teresa pushed herself to her feet and stood up.
“So quickly?”
“Yeah. There is some sort of file that requires my attention right now.”
“You’ve turned into a businesswoman; not bad.” Allison remarked while chuckling to herself. “You have no idea how I am feeling at this very moment. I got my best friend back. I missed you a lot.”
“I also noticed how you were missing while making a new best friend.” Allison said and wiped her eyes.
Teresa smiled, but she paused for a moment. She gave a small shake of her head and said, “I swear. She will never be able to replace you in my heart. But it is true that she is a good friend.”
“I have nothing against her in my heart. But why did she let me last night in the club?”
“Come on. Don’t try to convince me that you were blind to what she did when you saw it. She succeeded in everything.”
“That’s normal for her. She’s obsessed with Ryan. When I first met her, I thought she was insane. But then I realized that she is not a bad girl, just obsessed with Ryan.”
Allison was silently listening. Teresa realized she was talking about another woman loving Ryan in front of Allison. Allison observed Teresa’s expression, then she gave her a faint smile and reassured her, “It’s okay, Tess. I am happy that he got someone who actually loves him. Just let me know when you will come to the pack house.”
“Now.”
“Why not today? I am not feeling like going anywhere. We’ll meet tomorrow.”
“Okay. Then see you tomorrow.” Teresa responded.
Allison went downstairs with Teresa to see her off to the door. When they headed to the door, Teresa stopped when she saw Allison’s father coming from outside.
“When did you come, Teresa?” He asked and glanced at Allison.
“Some time ago, Uncle. I am leaving now.” Teresa replied without any emotion, as she was really angry at him.
“Where are you going? I prepared a few meals especially for you.”
Teresa turned to him and declined, “I would have gladly agreed with her if she had known about the reality of the situation. However, after hearing all of the things that Allison said, I became very upset with both of you.”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Right now, I have to leave. I am grateful that you prepared for me. Goodbye.” Teresa said to her. She eventually made her way out of Allison’s home after exchanging a brief embrace. She saw her car parked outside. She unlocked the car and got inside. She glanced at the house for the last time and then drove away in the direction of the pack house.
When she reached the pack house, she noticed that Elora had already arrived. Additionally, she was also outside.
“Where were you?” Teresa asked with a surprised look while coming out of the car. Because Elora was new here, she would lose her way if no one guided her here. So Teresa was worried for her.
Elora got out of her car, closed the door, and then threw the keys to the security guard standing nearby. “Park it for me.”
“Y-Yes, Madam.” The guard said, astonished by the woman’s rude manner.
Then Elora turned to Teresa and responded to her question, “I went to the club.”
“At this time?”
“Yeah.” Elora replied while avoiding her gaze, which confused Teresa.
“You are not allowed to act in such a manner toward my people.” Their ears were able to pick up Ethan’s voice. When Teresa turned around, she saw that Ethan was standing nearby with a few pack fighters. His words were directed at Elora. He did not like how she threw the car keys at the guard.
Elora rolled her eyes and crossed her arms before continuing, “I can do whatever I want.”
“My brother did a wonderful job of spoiling you.”
“Oh my gosh. What brought on this sudden realization that he is your brother? For what? Just because he turned out to be an Alpha with more power than you?”
“You-”
“Come on, guys. Stop arguing like new lovers and sort out the things between you, which we can’t understand. Everyone is sick of hearing you two argue with each other.” Teresa’s voice broke through the silence. Ethan was taken aback by her words. Elora also did not like it either. Therefore, she started to walk to the pack house, avoiding the other two. Teresa glanced at Ethan, and then she also went inside the pack house. However, rather than going to her own room, she walked to the very last room and knocked on the door.
“Come in.” She opened the door after getting permission.
“Alpha.” She said as she looked over at Ryan, who was seated on the couch. He was using his laptop, which was positioned on the coffee table in front of the couch, to do his work. A cigarette was gripped between his two fingers, while a bottle of wine and a half-filled glass were placed next to the laptop. He gave the door a glance before responding.
“Yeah.”
Teresa could see his mood was not okay since he was working. However, she steeled herself, summoned the fortitude, and said, “Alpha, I need to talk to you.”
“I am busy right now, Teresa. Talk to Max if you have any issues with any sub-Alphas.”
She shook her head and requested, “Alpha, it’s important. I want to talk about Allison.”
