Chapter 165

Everyone started to feel nervous. Ethan frowned at Ryan, thinking he was talking about him. But his

eyes fell on Easton, who looked

anxious.

“How is your beta? I had heard that he was ill.” Ryan put the question

to Easton.

“He is doing well at this time.” Easton gave his response. His tone was full of anger.

“You need to provide additional training for your officials. Take a look at mofficials. They have the

appearance of college students, yet

omes to fighting, they can even kill the head Alphas if I order ell, not by tricking them into some kind

of car accident, you meant the real fight.” Ryan said and winked at Easton.

statements took Ethan, Allison, and Wade by complete and utter Surprise. They were aware that he

was referring to the accident that Easton staged in order to take Ethan’s life.

“Were you talking about me?” Beta Max came there with Teresa.

Allison looked at her and saw she was wearing a beautiful blue dress.

1. Come here. Meet Alpha Easton, my very old buddy. I could norget a chance to introduce you to

him.” Ryan’s voice came out as

sarcasm.

But Beta Max nodded at Alpha Easton. He also gave him a nod and

said,

“Nice to meet you all. I think I have to leave right now.”

“Why? Don’t you think you should be here till the party ends?” Ethan. muttered.v5

“No, I just came to greet everyone. See you all at the pack meeting.”

Saying that Alpha Easton left the pack house.

A scoff could be heard there. Other Alphas looked at Ryan, who remarked,

“Coward!”

They kept quiet and went to their Lunas, who were busy talking with each other.

Meanwhile, Teresa hugged Allison and said in a whisper, “My drop- dead gorgeous lady.” Allison

chuckled and praised her as well.

Teresa went to Elora and hugged her too, since she was also her friend. However, Elora did not

look happy.

Allison felt that Elora was faking her delighted behavior.

She looked at Ryan, who had walked to the bar, and sat next to Vernon, who was still enjoying

drinks. Then he ordered a drink for

himself.

Her eyes turned to Ethan, who was staring at Ryan as if he were thinking something.

“Ethan” She patted his shoulder.

Lurned to her and said,

“Give me a few minutes. I need to talk to him.”

Allison was stunned. “To him?” She asked and pointed her head at Ryan.

Ethan gave her a nod of acknowledgment. Allison let him go and

stood in a corner. Her mind was full of questions. She was perplexed. by each and every one’s

behavior.

Meanwhile, Ethan took a seat next to Ryan.

“So you were the one who disabled Alpha Easton’s beta?” Ethan asked him.

Ryan paused his drinking. Vernon chuckled when he heard Ethan.

“Alpha Ethan is really slow. He should have understood this a very long time ago. Who had the

audacity to touch Alpha Easton’s people?”

Ethan heard Vernon but stared at Ryan. He observed the man in front of him. He was his brother.

But they did not have time to build their relationship like that.

He thought he took everything from him and vice versa.

d you do that?” Ethan asked once again.

yan took a sip of his drink while maintaining his attention on the bar counter before responding,

“If you had died by his hand, it wouldn’t be fun, you know.”

*Then why did you save me by giving him a warning?”

Ryan cocked his head to the side and sneered at Ethan before saying,

“So that I can give you the death that I have decided for you.”

A

aring his response, Ethan was taken aback. After a moment, he regained his composure and

asked,

“Do you hate me that much?”

“Of course not. Not more than your dad.” He muttered and winked at him.

“Ryan, he is our father.”

“Your father.” He reminded him.

“He loves you too. I saw the pain in his eyes when you left the pack. He looked for you in every

possible place, but when he couldn’t find you, I watched how devastated he became. You are aware

of his personality. Even though he is unable to express his feelings to other people, he will never

stop loving you.”

“Oh, come on. Why is everyone rushing over to give me a lecture? Why are you so emotional today

and telling me this? Perhaps…” Ryan paused and turned his head toward Elora, who was talking

with Teresa. After that, he continued by saying,

“You want me to let go of something for you.”

Ethan looked into Ryan’s eyes, which were full of amazement.

“You knew everything. Why did you not tell me? How can you want to live with someone else’s

woman?”

“You are doing the same; why would I have a problem with it?”

Ethan glanced at Allison and then looked away. “You can’t have her. Not even if I die.”

The light in Ryan’s eyes began to fade.

“Who said to you that I want to have her? I have your mate with me. She will be mine in every way.

You know what I mean.”

Ethan lifted his hand to grab his collar but stopped himself when he realized where they were.

He attempted to settle his nerves by running his hand through his hair while doing so.

“What did you say to me that night?

‘It will take me only a minute to shift and kill you. But you know I will

never do that. Therefore, never dare to behave with my parents in that manner again.”

That’s what you said, right?”

Ethan thought back to the night of Ryan’s birthday. That night, he grabbed him by the collar and

gave him a warning. He said the exact words to him.

He was surprised that Ryan remembered his statement word for word.

“But I don’t even need to shift to kill you. I never attack anyone from behind. I always gave warnings

first. So start counting your time, Alpha Ethan.” Ryan said and got on his feet.

Ethan turned to him.

looked pleased after he warned him. He smirked at Ethan and ttered while moving his fingers as if

showing him time was nning.

Tick tock. Tick tock.”
