It was a great moment for the family. For father and son.
She moved to her side, nearly forgetting Ryan was there next to her. He was staring at Alpha Neila and Ethan.
His gaze was blank.
She could not find any emotion in them. He blinked and turned away from them. He placed his drink on the counter and cleared his throat.
“I’m going for dinner in the dining room.” He turned around and headed to the door.
Allison was befuddled.
She could not understand why she did that, but she followed behind him.
She attempted to talk to him.
“Hey! Why are you leaving your family right now? Are you not happy for your brother?” He came to a halt and did not turn to face her. He just nodded his head.
“I’m happy for him…” He stopped, then whispered, “Not everyone is lucky enough to get a hug from his father.” Allison grew even more perplexed.
She saw him exiting the party hall.
She turned her head to Ethan. He seemed overjoyed. Alpha and Luna were still laughing with him.
She then moved her gaze to the door. Ryan had already left the party hall.
She was unable to understand the two brothers’ personalities since they were so diametrically opposite.
One she loved but rejected her and then begged pardon. The other one wished to help her to move on but saw her as just another girl. However, when she became enraged, he began to push her to move on once again. Why were they so distant?
Their relationships with their father were different too. They did not talk to each other either as if they were not brothers.
Allison sighed and thought, ‘What happened to them that they started to behave like enemies?’
The party ended after everyone had their dinner. Guests went back to their homes as well as Allison and her family. Allison was in her room, laying on her bed, looking at the ceiling.
She was thinking about what happened today.
Why did Ethan say those things? What was going on in his mind?
Her mind unexpectedly ran back to the moment when Ryan was leaving the party hall. He told his parents that he would be in the dining room.
But when they went there, they did not see him. Allison felt strange about him. He did not come with a girl to ruin his father’s mood or his brother’s party.
Still, why did his father not like him?
‘No. Dislike is not the correct word to determine it. A father can’t dislike his son. He must be angry at him for his wrong doings.’ She thought.
But Ryan’s words caught her.
“Everyone is not lucky enough to get a hug from their fathers.” Allison sat up and tilted her head.
“Why did he say that? It is not possible that Alpha Neil had never hugged him.” After thinking for some time, she shook her head and fell on the bed. again.
“Why am I thinking about him? I should not. It’s not my problem.
So I should stay away. It is better for me.”
She tried to sleep while thinking about how she would cancel the plan of training. The next morning, She was woken up by an alarm.
She did her morning routine and got ready for school.
She reached the school. Everyone glanced at her frequently. It was normal for her now but her legs stopped when she heard a few gossips.
They were talking about her. Why did she become the hot topic of the day? She called Teresa to know where she was. Teresa said she would not come today.
“Why?” Allison asked Teresa.
“I have a fever.”
“Oh no! How did this happen? How did you catch a cold?”
“How would I know, Allison?” She asked her in a raspy voice.
“You should have told me. I would have come to your home to accompany you instead of coming to school.”
“I will be fine. Don’t worry.”
“Are you taking medicine properly?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, then take care of your health. I will come….” Allison paused.
She was about to say that he would go to Teresa’s house in the afternoon. But she realized that she had to go to the pack house.
‘Wait, this is the perfect excuse.’ She thought.
“I will come to your house after classes.”
“You don’t have to. I will be-“
“Shut up. Who comes to my home every time I feel sad or ill? I will come for sure.” Teresa chuckled.
“Sure, bestie. I will wait.”
“Hmm, till then take a rest.”
“Okay, as you say.” Allison hung up and smiled.
Teresa was precious to her.
She always wanted her best friend to be healthy.
She put her phone inside her bag and looked around but frowned. Everyone in the hall was looking at her.
“What’s wrong?” She asked a girl.
“What’s wrong? After what you did to Julie, you still think you have a face to show us?” The girl asked.
Allison was taken aback. What did she do to Julie?
“What happened?” She asked.
Another girl came to her and showed her phone to Allison. Allison took the phone and watched carefully. Many pictures of her with Ethan got viral. Those were taken when she and Ethan were talking in the bar side last night.
They looked really close. It was the moment when Ethan suddenly came close to her face to tell her that he would see how long she would resist him.
People were commenting on their photos, only cursing Allison. They were talking about Julie. They commented that she was the reason behind the breakup of Ethan and Julie. Allison felt miserable when she scrolled down more comments.
