Chapter 154
“Why is every woman after Ryan's possessions?” Allison muttered as she stared at the bits of glass from her shattered vase.
Ethan gently spread an ointment on her leg. “You should rest and avoid moving your leg for now.”
Allison wanted to move her leg, but Ethan’s firm touch prevented her from doing so. “Do we have another option to monitor the wound without involving the pack doctor?” she asked.
Ethan smirked at her, perplexed. “You know what, Allison? I’m not the one you should be asking about your mate’s wound if he is an Alpha.” He paused, looking at her intently before continuing. “But if you want, I can help.”
Almost instantly, she removed her leg from his lap and set it down on the ground below. She jumped to her feet and yelled in a hurried voice, “Don’t even think of these things, Ethan. I belong to Ryan. He has the power to heal me at any time.”
Saying that, she rushed out of the room even though she was in pain.
Ethan did not know what had happened to her suddenly that she was even ready to heal her wound on her own. He stared at the door and sighed. “Why is every woman after Ryan?” He lamented as he took over his possessions. “What about the woman who truly holds my heart at the same time he is going to marry his second mate.”
Allison decided to go to the pack house. Last night, she had made the decision to talk with Alpha Neil. Only he had the power to stop the wedding. She was aware that their reputation would be at stake in the eyes of other Alphas because it was too late to do anything about it now.
Allison exited her room. When she got downstairs, she saw her mother.
“My dear, don’t behave rudely with your dad. You know how much he loves you. Your behavior is hurting him. We never raised you like that.”
Allison maintained her gaze on her for a while. She struggled within herself about whether or not she should argue with her.
“Mom, you two have already ruined my life. I know you are my parents. But this does not imply that the two of you bought me. I am aware of the loving and attentive way in which both of you raised me. I tried to amend things by choosing you. But I feel like I can’t repay you at all. I am worn out. I just can’t carry on like this any longer.”
Her mother’s eyes widened. “What do you mean?”
“Mom, I don’t want to talk about it anymore. I will talk to the man among us who holds the position of authority.”
Her mother sprinted to her and seized hold of her hand. “Don’t do anything childish. Let your father come back home. We will talk about it, okay?”
Allison removed her mother’s hand from hers and replied, “Mom, please. We can’t talk about it anymore.”
She exited the house and began walking in the direction of the street. Because her father had left earlier with his car, she would need to take a cab.
When she arrived at the pack house, she realized that Alpha Neil and Ella were not there. She saw Teresa and Beta Max sitting on the couch. They were having a good time. When Teresa noticed her, she stood up and rushed to her. She hugged her and said, “Good morning.”
Allison patted her on the back before greeting her. “Good morning.”
“What did you want to say?” Teresa asked nervously.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Allison smiled at her expression. “He is not a fool. He knew that from the start. He hates me because I don’t deserve him. I betrayed him by being so weak. I should have stood up on my feet and chosen him.”
Teresa let out a heavy sigh. She tried her best to resolve their matter, but she failed. “I don’t know what to say.” Teresa muttered.
“What you did was enough. I am grateful to you, Tess.” Allison said and hugged her.
Allison’s attention was caught by the sight of the staircase. She noticed that Elora was stepping on the first step. Her movements were quite shaky. She was on the verge of falling when someone grabbed her around the waist and prevented her from falling down.
Allison and Teresa broke the hug and stood up in surprise. They were worried for Elora and ignored the man who was holding her waist. “Be careful,” the man said while he had a firm grip on Elora. Elora gave him a look before pushing his hands away.
“I will be careful. You don’t have to be concerned for me, Alpha Ethan.”
Elora’s response was delivered through clenched teeth.
“Okay, as you wish,” Ethan said and immediately released her.
Elora’s eyes widened as she almost fell; however, once again, Ethan held her. This time, he grasped her wrist and pulled her closer. He drew her close to him and said, “It appears that you have made a practice of accepting my help. But you are an ungrateful woman. You don’t know how to thank others.”
Allison stared at them from downstairs. She furrowed her brows as she observed Ethan’s behavior towards Elora. For a few days, she could see his changing behavior, which she tried to understand.
Elora did not argue with him and allowed him to assist her in descending the steps. When they reached the bottom of the steps, Ethan took his hand off of hers. He glanced at Allison and asked, “When did you come?”
“A few minutes ago,” Allison replied and looked at Elora. She was about to ask her if she was okay when her attention was drawn to the bandage that was covering her foot.
Before Allison could say more, Elora was interrupted by a phone call. She gave her phone a quick peek. Her facial expression started to show signs of nervousness.
“Excuse me,” she said to them and walked slowly to the garden. Allison stared at her back and thought, “Whose call made her so nervous? Why does she need to go outside to talk with the person?”
