“Are you saying that you are going to take responsibility for him now?” The sarcastic tone that her father used shocked her. That was an entirely new way for him to interact with her.
“Dad, let me explain; I was just…” Her father let out a sigh before walking over to her. He caressed her hair.
“I am so sorry, my princess. I talked rudely to you. However, I am concerned about you.” She smiled and gave her dad a hug before nodding.
“I know.” In the middle of the hug, her mother joined them.
They did not bring up Ryan in conversation again. After that, Allison proceeded to go to her room.
She closed her eyes as she lay down on her bed.
She did not want to debate with anybody on behalf of anybody. That lake and Ryan’s words roam into her head simultaneously.
“Will you help me to become a better person?” His words never left her mind.
She thought about how he rejected her friendship with her. Then how did he ask her to help him? How would have she helped him?
Did he think she was one of those girls who was head over heels for him?
All of a sudden, she opened her eyes and touched her heart.
She sat up. Her mouth opened wide.
She mumbled in a shocking tone.
“M-My wolf! My wolf is back!”
She could feel her wolf inside. Her expression suddenly lit up with a radiant grin.
“I just can’t believe it.” She looked through her bag, trying to get her phone.
She pulled out her mobile phone and dialed Linus’s number. The phone rang three times before he received it.
“Linus” She exclaimed and stood up with excitement.
“What happened? Are you okay?”
“Linus, I can feel her inside. I think my wolf is back.”
“Really? It is good news. Try to shift or let your wolf take over.”
“Okay, I am trying.” She tried to let her wolf take over. But nothing was happening.
“L-Linus..”
“What took place?”
“I can’t.” She heaved a sigh of disappointment and plopped down on the bed in defeat.
“Allison, please don’t lose hope. Your wolf is progressing. It’s still good news. You should be happy that you can feel her.
She will be back soon.”
“Yes, you are right. I should not feel dissatisfied.” After finishing her conversation with Linus, she hung up the phone and went to the bathroom to take a shower. The next day, she went to school. As usual, she told everything to Teresa.
“I am very confused. My perception of Ryan is changing now. I heard he stopped messing with girls.” Teresa said. Allison remembered that Ryan also told her that.
So that means he was telling her the truth.
“Ethan is also regretting his decision.
So maybe he will start to like you?” Allison snapped out of her thoughts and furrowed her brow.
“Like me? Teresa gave a slight nod of her head and then motioned for her to look elsewhere.
She flicked her eyes over in that direction, and her gaze landed directly on Ethan. Even though he was conversing with the other people at his table, he could not take his eyes off of her. Allison looked away from him and shook her head.
“You misunderstand him. Maybe he is feeling guilty. But liking me is something he can’t afford. He is the head Alpha. What I have learned about him in a few days is that he thinks about his pack before him, which is great for the others in his pack but terrible for me because he has rejected me. Teresa kept a close eye on her best friend and asked, “I want to ask you a question. May I?”
“Do you even need to ask my permission?” It seemed as though Teresa was debating whether or not she should pose the question. Allison patted her back.
“Ask me anything. No worries.”
“Have you forgiven Ethan for what he did?” The question astounded Allison.
She herself did not know the answer.
“It’s just been a week since he asked for forgiveness. But what he did. to my wolf is something I can’t ever forget. However, when I get my wolf back, I will think about it. His life will be separated from mine. I will not ruin my future by thinking about this rejection.
So I will try to forgive him and free myself from this tragedy.” Teresa held her hand.
“Your thoughts are great. Only if you forgive him and let go of your mind can you free yourself. You will be happy in the future without any worry.” Allison smiled at her. Her eyes fell behind Teresa.
She caught a glimpse of Ryan. He was talking with a girl. The girl was trying to explain something, but he backed away as if he did not care.
“Girls always surround him. Who knows how long he can stay away from them? When he entered our school, girls thought he was a playboy with a flirty attitude, but they were wrong. He is a cold man. I even heard that he is too rough when he fu-” Allison pressed her hand over Teresa’s mouth.
“What the hell!” Allison yelled in whispers. Teresa gave her a look at what had happened. Allison shook her head.
“I don’t want to hear these types of things.” Teresa removed her hand from her mouth and chuckled.
“You almost kissed him, so I thought I should let you know first.” She winked at Allison. Allison hit her arm. Teresa cracked up.
“Okay, I was just kidding. But what I told you about him was true though.”
“I don’t care. I saw how disappointed his father was every time he talked to him. I saw his mother’s pain in her eyes. He always behaves like a spoiled brat.”
“So what do you want to suggest?”
“I told him to wait for his mate. He accepted my advice.” Teresa frowned.
“Do you really think a playboy like him can take advices? I mean, don’t you think something is fishy? How can he change himself for someone he doesn’t even know exists? Like no one. When will his mate come? Until then, will he bury his desire like this?” Allison wanted to think about it like Teresa.
But she thought, why would she overthink?
“Who cares? I just wanted him to be a good boy. I hope he really gets it in his heart and becomes a better person.”
“Will see.”
“Yeah.”
“What about you?”
“Me?”
“What do you think about him?” She was wondering what her thoughts were on Ryan.
A good friend? However, he did not agree to become her friend.
