Ryan looked behind Allison. As soon as she turned around, she could see that his friends were making their way there. However, when Ryan shifted his gaze on them, they smiled politely, nodded their heads, and proceeded to sit with Teresa. Teresa looked at Max. Max introduced Owen to Teresa. Then they started to talk."Sit."After hearing Ryan, Allison turned her attention to him. He indicated for her to take a seat in the chair that was directly across from him.She sat down and tried to find words to talk to him."I wanted to talk about last night." "What about it?""I think you misunderstood me and Ethan.""Misunderstood?""Yeah, I mean. What you saw, nothing was like that."He did not reply to her. But his gaze was dark and remained on her. She felt strange inside just looking at his angry face.'Is he mad? Why? He looks furious.' She thought."Ryan?" She called out his name when she saw him staring at her for a while.He exhaled deeply and shook his head in response."There is no

Allison was taken aback by this. Why was he unable to recognize her when he saw her wolf?Then it hit her mind. Only mates could feel each other's scent as mates. It was different from others' normal body odor.Allison frowned when she tried to talk with him in mind link but was unable to do so.'What happened to him? Did he shut his mind links for the whole pack? Does he not want to contact anyone here? Not even his parents?'Ryan's gaze even deepened. "Do you know this place is restricted from entering? This is my place."She stared at him in her wolf form, totally aware of the fact."I can kill you for your bravery."Her wolf whined as she stepped back. He noticed it and chuckled. "But it's okay. Since you dared to come here, I liked your boldness. You can come here again."Allison scoffed inside her head. 'This playboy! He told me that I was the only one except for him who could be allowed here. But now he has changed his decision? Why? Just because he saw a new girl, I mean, a n

"Oh, it's Luna Ella's birthday." Allison mumbled. Ethan nodded his head. "Yeah. I wanted to come ask if you could assist me in choosing some presents for my mother."Teresa was standing there, feeling awkward. She felt she was disturbing their conversation."Well, we were about to have our lunch." She let out to Ethan."Yeah, sure, you can both have lunch, I can wait for Allison outside." Ethan said to Teresa and turned to Allison.Allison was too perplexed to say anything. She could not refuse to help Ethan. She should also buy something for Luna Ella, so she agreed."Okay, wait for me. I am coming after lunch."Ethan left the cafeteria. Teresa sat down on the chair and raised a brow."What?" Allison asked."You agreed to go with him.""Yeah. I thought I should buy something for his mother too. She is a sweet person.""Are you sure you don't have any soft spots for him?""What? Why did you ask that?""Because you could have disagreed. But you could not refuse him. You tried to stay

"This is Ryan, my younger son."Luna Ella introduced Ryan to Georgiana. Allison gave a brief peek in the direction of Ryan. Surprisingly, he was staring intently at Georgiana the whole time. He slightly shook his head at Georgiana. If Allison did not look at him carefully, she could not see his little move. "N-Nice to meet you, Al-""Ryan"His cold voice made Alpha Neil frown at him."Talk to her nicely. Stop being a brat. She is a powerful lady." "No no. It's okay, Neil." Georgiana said immediately.Allison felt that she was defending Ryan. But Ryan was calm as usual. His father's tone did not bother him at all. "He was abroad all this time. He recently came back for his brother's coronation." Luna Ella said to Georgiana. Ryan scoffed when he heard that. "Excuse me? I didn't come here for him. I came here because Alpha Neil told me that I could leave this pack forever after his son takes over his pack.""Ryan! Shut your mouth." Alpha Neil scolded him while glancing at others.

Ryan touched her hand, which rested on his shoulder, and smiled at her."You are thinking too much. I try to avoid making contact with my pack members because I am not one of their permanent fellows."Allison did not like his answer. Something inside her heart was telling her that he was hiding something."If you want to share anything with anyone, you can come to me, okay?""Really? What has changed your mind so suddenly? Because what I remember is that you wanted to keep your distance."She was taken aback. She pulled her hand from her grip. He was so right. She was the one who wanted that. However, at this point, why did she want him to approach her? Why did she encourage him to talk about his suffering with her?She blinked a few times and took a deep breath. "I-I think I should g-""Hey, relax. I will not eat you alive.""I should go. My parents are waiting for me downstairs."She grabbed the doorknob and was about to twist it but she heard him behind her,"I told you that I wo
