Chapter 158


    Elora’s eyes widened. She felt a shiver in her whole body. She did not believe what Ryan was


    saying.


    As she shook her head, a gleam emanated from her eyes.


    “Absolutely not, Alpha. I just can’t let myself fall for him. He does not have any rights over me. He


    doesn’t deserve me.”


    Ryan let out a chuckle in response to her words. He distanced himself from her.


    “Then who do you deserve? Me?”


    Elora blushed and lowered her head. She knew he was teasing her. She believed no woman in the


    world deserved such a fine man as him.


    His strength and skill were unparalleled, and no one else couldpete with him.


    She felt a hand patting her head. She raised her head and looked at


    him.


    “You all should know that your fates are in my hands. Only I will decide how you all end up.”


    Elora averted her gaze from him. “Yes, Alpha.”


    “Go and have some rest. Prepare yourself for tomorrow. Because tomorrow night will be a big night


    for you.”


    “W-What will happen?”


    “You w


    find out about it in due time.”


    Elora gave a slight nod of the head before entering her room.


    Ryan’s eyes turned back to ck. He turned around to go to his room


    “Ryan”


    He heard a voice, which stopped his footsteps.


    He did not turn but stood there without moving.


    “Ryan, can we talk, my child?”


    E asked while looking at her son.


    “No, Mrs. Iversen. We can’t.” He responded and went to his room.


    He was about to shut his door when her mother stood at the door.


    “Please, let mee in.”


    Ryan looked at the woman who gave him birth but never cared about him for years.


    He turned around and went inside without closing the door.


    E entered the room and closed the door. She walked inside and


    looked around the room.


    “I heard you exchanged rooms. Why didn’t you choose the master bedroom? Or you could have


    stayed in your old room.” E said.


    “Do you have anything else to say other than these, Mrs. Iversen?” Ryan asked and sat on the bed.


    He threw the cigarette bud that had lost its me. He was about to light another cigarette when his


    mother stopped him by grabbing his


    hand.


    His dark eyes looked at her. She could not help but feel some unknown fear in her son’s aura.


    How


    her.


    she was his mother. He could not push her away by scaring


    She grabbed the cigarette and threw it on the floor. She did not


    remove her hand from his and sat on the bed beside


    him.


    “Will you now smoke in front of your mother?” She asked softly.


    He scoffed at her. “Mother? Whose mother? You are no one to me. You are Ethan’s mother, Mrs.


    Iversen. Stop wasting your time here.”


    Saying that, he tried to pull out his hand. But his mother was adamant about letting go of his hand.


    He did not force it, or else she would get hurt.


    “Why did you decide toe here? He inquired while giving him an annoyed expression on his


    face.


    “For how much longer are you going to act like this? Ryan, you are not a child any longer.”


    “Stop giving speeches. Please let me know. If you have any


    objections to my staying at your home, I will leave tonight. I have a whole pack to rule. I am not an


    unemployed person who is currently enjoying a life of leisure.”


    “It does not matter how powerful you be or how strong of al pack you control; you will always


    be my son. You are still my stubborn Ryan to me.”


    Ryan let her talk. He ignored her as if she were invisible.


    She cupped his cheeks and turned his head toward her.


    “Ryan, will you punish your mother like this?” Her voice cracked in the middle of the sentence. Her


    eyes turned glossy, and they shed tears


    Ryan stared at her tears. He used to care about his mother, but two years ?, he came to the


    realization that she was just like his father “You just gave me birth. You never brought me up. During


    those eigh years when I was on my own, when I was outside the pack, had you

    ever cared for me?” He let out angrily.


    She sobbed and replied,


    “Me and your dad, we never thought bad for you. We only wanted you. to be a good man. Nothing


    else. Whenever your father reprimanded you, he almost always felt bad about it afterward. He never


    demonstrated it in front of you at any point. However, he was always. concerned about you. After


    you severed allmunications with us, he was the one who looked for you among the pack where


    you used to live. He was worried for you. And when you said you woulde back, he was the one


    who was happier than anyone else. Whenever you wanted to leave, he stopped you by asking you


    to wait for Ethan’s coronation because he wanted you to stay here longer. Just like he tried to do a


    while ago in the dining room.”


    Ryanughed at her words. After removing her hands from his cheeks, he stood up and walked


    away. He proceeded towards the window and stopped there before continuing.


    “Don’t make fun of your own husband. The things you are saying do


    ot match his actions at all. Your husband never liked me. He always supported his elder son. From


    childhood, what I wanted, he gave that to him.”


    “That’s because he never wanted to make Ethan feel that he was adopted. We never wanted him to


    feel he was cornered.”


    “During that process, you seemed to have forgotten that you had another child who was the same


    age as Ethan. Every time I came to you, I saw you busy with him. I never had a problem with his


    adoption. never had a problem with him either. I had problems with my parents since they were so


    focused on pleasing their older son that they neglected me throughout my entire existence.”


    E std up and walked to her son. “We are surprised that you have

    potential that you possessed. But were happy for you. We have heard about how you won the wars


    and dominated the packs, and we are proud that you are our son But please, don’t break us. We will


    never go to im that you are our son to anyone. But don’t break the rtionship with us. We are


    getting old. We can’t handle these. Forgive us for our mistakes.”


    Ryan’s eyes were fixed on the woods as he stood there staring out the window.


    E rested her hand on her son’s shoulder.


    “Ryan”


    She was a crying mess. She did not want to lose her son. When he left the pack two years ago, she


    was on the verge of a mental


    breakdown. But if he decided to leave forever, she would die.


    “Me and your dad don’t want anything from you. Your dad regrets. every day how he behaved with


    you all these years. If you had ever told him that you wanted to be a head Alpha, he would


    have considered the separation of this pack into two. But-”


    r wanted his pack. You two will never understand me. There never anything I wanted from you. You


    can’t go back in time and give me my childhood back, no matter how much you want to make things


    right.”


    His words broke E’s heart. She felt her heart getting slower from


    the wounds.


    Ryan turned to her and grinned at her.


    “Since you took a step forward to talk to your son to clear your heart out, let me alert you, Mom.

    or your inevitable demise, I won’t let any of you go.”
