Chapter 171
Chapter 171
Neil looked at Ryan with eyes filled with disbelief as he stared at him. He thought back to the night of Glen’s birthday once again. He could remember how Allison hugged him and defended him. He recalled the night of Ryan’s birthday when Ryan was okay until he
announced Ethan’s wedding announcement.
“Did she feel the same?” He asked his son with a cold voice.
When Ryan heard that, he laughed out loud. While he glanced at Allison, he took a sip from his drink.
“I thought so. But…” He paused and smirked.
“Her faithfulness turned out to be unfaithful.”
Alpha Neil could not understand what to say. He was completely unaware of what was going
on around him.
“I–I-”
He stuttered for the first time as he lost his words. He tried and wanted to say something, but before that, someone mind linked him.
He immediately stood up with wide eyes.
“Ethan?”
He uttered it and turned to Ryan.
“Wade just linked me. He said something happened to Ethan.” After saying that, he dashed off in the direction of the garden area.
As Ryan saw every one of his family members, including Allison, head to the garden, he drained another glass of liquid.
All the guests that were there appeared to be confused. They had no idea what was causing everyone to rush in that direction.
Ryan got to his feet and started making his way toward the middle of the hall. Everyone’s attention was drawn to him immediately. Beta Max walked up next to him and said to others,
“Ladies and gentlemen. It’s nice to meet you all. I believe that the celebration is now over. I hope that Alpha will recognize you when you visit our pack. I hope Alpha will see you all in our pack next time. It is now time for us to leave. You can all depart at this time.”
The voice of one of the Alphas could be heard asking, “Where is Alpha Ethan? He should stay to at least see us off.”
Ryan arched his eyebrow. “Why? Am I not enough for you?”
The Alpha gulped and shook his head. “I didn’t mean that. Please don’t take it that way. My sincere apologies.”
Gamma Colin glared at everyone and said,
“You all have duties in your packs. Go back safely before dawn. No one knows when you will
get in danger.”
After being given the warning, everyone looked at one another, nodded their heads, and exited the pack house.
“I recalled, just like tonight, Ethan’s beta Wade instructed all the guests to leave that night.” Delta Owen broke the silence to Beta Max and lifted his drink with a sly grin on his face.
Ryan snickered when he recalled that night. He cast a cursory look toward the staircase.
“Ryan, will you go to see him?” Beta Max asked him about Ethan. His mate, Teresa, also went with Allison to see Ethan in the garden.
“No.”
“I think he is dead.” Gamma Colin said and dialed a number.
Ryan turned to him and said,
“You all, except Max, go back to the Black Moon.”
Gamma Colin paused and frowned at him.
“This was not the plan you have discussed with us.
“I changed the plan at the last moment.”
“Bro.”
“Just go back, Colin. I will be back soon.”
Colin sighed and nodded at him. He looked around at the others and motioned for them to head for the exit.
Vernon and Owen said to Ryan,
See
you soon.”
“Hmm.”
Vernon, Owen, and Colin left the pack house to leave the pack.
Beta Max stared at Ryan, which he ignored completely.
Max did not say anything to him and saw him going upstairs.
Ryan walked toward a bedroom and stopped at the door.
He could hear sobs coming from the room. He twisted the doorknob and looked inside the
room.
A woman was crying on the couch. Her mascara was messed up because of her tears. Her beautiful face turned pale.
She caught a glimpse of Ryan, who had only moments ago come into the room.
“R–Ryan!”
She uttered and got on her feet.
He closed the door behind him and walked to her.
She rushed to him to hug him. Her hands wrapped around him tightly as she began to cry aloud.
He embraced her and then gently stroked her back while looking at the blank wall.
“I–1 reject him.” She said and sobbed.
“You did well, Elora.”
She shook her head and replied,
“I didn’t want to.”
He frowned and grabbed her arms to move her away from him.
He then made his way to the couch and sat down.
She bowed her head in submission. When she afterward became aware of what she had just said to him, she hastened to wipe her eyes.
He lit a cigarette and observed her.
“Didn’t I ask you if you fell for him? Why did you lie?” He asked while inhaling smoke.
“I–I…”
“Stop stuttering like a weak woman. Did I turn you into a hybrid for behaving like this?”
“No.” She shook her head.
“No.” o
She approached him in a deliberate manner and kneeled down in front of him.
‘Alpha”
He stared at her. She was sitting close to his legs.
“If you think you can use your body to please me, then you are wrong. On this day, you should mourn and not think to give pleasure to others.” He let out coldly.
She ignored his remarks, rested her head on his left thigh, and then shed tears.
He did not push her. She sobbed, and her tears fell on his black pants.
He looked away from her. He placed his hand on her head and stroked her hair. As if he were soothing her, she closed her eyes.
After a while, she mumbled,
“He didn’t know that I was a true hybrid. He will die, Alpha.”
His hand paused, and he replied,
“Then let him die.”
She raised her head and looked at him.
“Alpha, I know what he did with Allison was wrong. But she didn’t die. She is alive.”
He blew out the smoke from his mouth and stared at the woman, who looked vulnerable to him.
“If I hadn’t gone to the forest, she would have died that night.”
She parted her lips in shock and averted her eyes from him.
He flickered the ash of the cigarette and said,
“He thinks compensation means asking for an apology without experiencing anything. But that’s not how things work in my world.
He has to feel the same way that he made my woman feel. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
