Chapter 56


    “Oh, it’s Luna E’s birthday.” Allison mumbled.


    Ethan nodded his head. “Yeah. I wanted toe 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 E, so she agreed.


    “Okay, wait for me. I aming 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 away, but he


    alwayses to you to melt you again.”


    Allison looked away. “I don’t want to fall for him again, Teresa.


    Teresa patted her head. “Don’t take any pressure, and do whatever your heart says. If you still like


    him, then give him a chance and stop worrying too much.”


    Allison looked at her with a surprised face. “Giving him a chance? No way.”


    Teresa chuckled. “You have to set up your mind. I can see a lot of confusion in your behavior. One


    time you were fighting with his brother, and then you went to exin the rtionship between him


    and you to him. The next time hees to you to melt your heart, your soft heart starts to beat


    faster for him.‘

    Allison blinked. “Why did you take Ryan here? He has nothing to do with it.”


    “Allison, these two brothers really made you the center of attention.”


    Allison massaged her forehead. “My father is their father’s beta and best friend. That is the main


    problem here.


    Even if I try, I can’t ignore them. I have to see them at every party. I have to attend every get


    together even though I don’t want to.”


    Teresa observed her and asked,


    “What about you and Ryan?”


    Hearing his name, she looked down on her food. She was stirring her food with a spoon.


    “Ryan is different. I like hispany, but it is risky. My father does not like him much. So he always


    told me to stay far away from him.”


    “I asked about


    out you, not you


    you, not your father.”


    Allison looked at her. “Me? What about me?”


    “What do you feel, Allison?”


    She smiled awkwardly. “What are you saying, Teresa? You know me.”


    “That’s why I am asking.”


    “We could be good friends. But his mentality is different. He does not like to make friends. with girls.


    Who does that?”


    “Then what does he do?”


    “What?”


    “He does not make friends with girls. Then what does he want from you?”


    “I don’t know. I told him that I was not one of his side chicks. So he should maintain some distance,


    and he approved my request. He told me that we should do that.”


    “So now, you two are anti–parties.”


    Allisonughed, and Teresa joined her. They talked for a while.


    After having lunch, they left the cafeteria and headed outside.


    They saw Ethan leaning on his car and talking with Wade. When he saw Allison, he stood

    straight.


    “Bye. Take care of yourself. And…” Teresa paused and went close to Allison’s ear.


    “This boy is crazy over you now. So be careful. Because what if I saw a post tomorrow about my


    best friend waking up in the pack house with our future Alpha Ethan Iversen?”


    “What the hell!” Allison yelled out, which made others look at her.


    She hit Teresa’s arm. Teresaughed hard. “Okay, okay. I was just kidding. Go now. See you


    tomorrow.”


    Allison gave an angry nod and walked to Ethan.


    Ethan opened the door for her, and she got in the car.


    Everyone was watching them. But no one dared to talk about Allison today. Because they knew she


    had a high profile. She was not an ordinary girl but the pack’s beta’s daughter. Her father was the


    second inmand in the pack, who could cut off their father’s necks in a second.


    Ethan started the car. The car ride was silent. He kept ncing at her from time to time.


    “You yelled at your friend. What happened?” He spoke out.


    “She said something impossible. That’s why.” She replied coldly.


    “Okay.” Ethan replied. He understood that it was his time to take her cold attitude since he had done


    so wrong with her.


    “Mom is very excited for her birthday. She even called me and told me toe home early.”


    “She is the sweetest person.”


    “Yeah. She is very nice. She is the best mom in the world.” Ethan replied with a smile


    Allison noticed his smile. She knew Luna E was not his biological mother, but his smile. said how


    much he loved her. That woman really showed her motherly affection to him from childhood, which


    was why today he loved her so much.


    They reached a shopping mall. They got out of the car and entered the mall.


    Ethan took her to a jewelry showroom. Allison helped him with a beautiful ne.


    “It’s beautiful. You can buy it.”

    “What about this bracelet?” Ethan asked.

    “Oh, it’s so pretty.” She let out.


    It was a two chained bracelet with a flower petal hanging.


    “Do you like it?”


    “Yeah. You can give her this too.”


    “Hmm.


    He told the staff to pack the two things and then he paid for them.


    Allison also bought a pair of earrings from that store. Though that store was pricey, she had


    so she her father’s credit card. She did not like to spend much. But it’s about Luna E, excitedly


    picked up a pair of small, beautiful earrings.


    They exited the shopping mall and returned to the car.


    There was a restaurant in the vicinity of the shopping mall. Allison’s eyes swiftly turned to the


    restaurant as soon as Ethan began the car.


    “What are they doing together?” She remarked as she gazed at the two people who were seated


    next to the window.


    Ryan was sitting there with Ethan’s ex–girlfriend.


    “Who cares?” Ethan responded and started driving.


    Allison tilted her head to the side in order to have a better view of them as the car


    elerated.


    “Hey! Julie is crying.”


    “So?” Ethan asked, unbothered.


    She turned to him. “She is your ex. You were in a rtionship with her two months ago. Remember


    how you told me in front of everyone that she was the only one that mattered in your eyes?”


    Ethan replied with an upset tone,


    “I lied. I was not in a rtionship with her. Our patch–up was just acting to show you. I never loved


    her.”


    She was stunned. “You did what?”


    He gave a slight nod of the head before replying, “Every time you were hurt, I felt that too.


    +15 BONUS


    Even if I was hurt in a fight, when you got pushed, I came running to you. Because you were always


    in my heart.” 1


    Allison tightened her fists to calm her heart. She did not want to listen to him. She did not want to


    fall for him once again. But he did not stop talking and continued,


    “My eyes were always on you. I was just trying to avoid the truth and cover up how I really felt to


    myself by running away from it.


    I have always loved you, Allison.”
