Chapter 167

Allison brought Ethan to the garden, which was far away from where the party was going.

“Ethan, what was that?” Allison questioned him while she was

keeping an eye on him.

“What are you talking about?” He asked with confusion in his eyes.

“Don’t tell me any lies. Tell me what is going on in your head.”

“Allison, I wanted to talk to you about it.” He said with a lower tone.

last night, that was totally unexpected.”

“I am lost, Allison.” He let out and moved away from her.

She was stunned by his words. “Why?”

He Wened around and began to walk inside the garden. She followed

“Ethan, you are doing wrong. She is engaged to Ryan at this time.. How is it even possible for you

to think about her at all?”

Ethan did not answer her questions. She sprinted over to catch him as his steps began to stumble,

hoping to keep him from falling.

“You are drunk. Look at yourself. What you have made yourself in a . few days. You were never like

this before.”

Ethan reached out and grasped her hand. He fell to his knees in front

of her.

Allison’s eyes widened.

He looked broken. She could see his glossy eyes. She could not recall ever having seen him cry,

not even when he had come so close to losing his life in an accident. Even though he begged her

for

forgiveness a lot of the time but tonight, he appeared to be a different person. He looked

vulnerable.

She glanced at the hand that he was holding tightly. Almost instantly, she got down on her knees

and demanded to know,

e cupped his cheeks and made him look at her. “Hey! Why are you crying?”

Though this man rejected her and then tried his best to cage her for him, he always supported her

and made many efforts to win her heart. He never hurt her after promising that he would never hurt

her

again.

Allison could not just let him leave in this situation without knowing th ason for his breakdown.

“I-I am sorry, Allison. I-I….” He paused and looked away from her, then said,

“I can’t continue being with you. I’m sorry, but I can’t marry you.”

Her hands froze on his cheeks.

What was there to be so sorry about? Didn’t she always tell him to. call off the wedding?

“Why can’t you?” She asked because she wanted to know the reason. She was afraid that it was

connected to Elora in some way.

“My heart betrayed you by falling in love with someone else.” He replied and turned to look into her

eyes.

She slowly let go of his cheeks, but he held her wrists tightly.

“No, don’t go. Listen to me. I tried. I always tried to be with you. I always tried to support you. I

never stopped trying to find a way to make you forget about the rejection you felt. I believed that I

loved you, which is something that I still feel I do, but…”

After pausing for a moment and drawing in a long breath, he added,

“Just like you, I lost my heart to someone else.”

“Is it Elora?” She asked calmly.

She was keeping her fingers crossed that it wouldn’t be Elora. Because Ryan would carry out his

threat to destroy everything exactly as he described it if Ethan made even a single mistake.

“Yeah. It’s her.” He mumbled and then dipped his head once again.

Allison quickly yanked her hands free of his grasp and stood up after he attempted to restrain her.

H

ed his head to look at her.

“Are you out of your mind? Have you gone completely insane? She is going to become Ryan’s wife.

They like each other. Ryan will kill you if he gets to know.” She said and placed her palm on her

forehead. She was unable to even consider the possibility of what would happen.

“He knows.” Ethan said while smiling at her bitterly.

She regarded him with a frown. “He knows? Knows about what? Does. he know that you have

feelings for the woman who will soon be his

Luna?”

Ethan closed his eyes as if thinking something. His eyes had turned red when he opened them

again.

“You don’t want to stay with me. I am okay with that. But you can’t go to Ryan if I call off the

wedding.”

She was surprised by his statement. “You are insane. One time, you say you love Elora now, but the

next moment, you are telling me not to go to Ryan? Why are you doing this? Can’t you see because

of one wrong decision, everyone’s lives have been turned upside down? On the night of Ryan’s

birthday, you had the option of turning down the marriage proposal. You had the opportunity to

discuss the relationship between Ryan and me with your father. But you went in the complete

opposite direction. Now, when you see that he is happy with someone else, you are after his

fiancee? You should be

ashamed of yourself, Ethan.”

Ethan gave a shake of the head and made an effort to stand up. This time, Allison did not help him.

“Leave it. How can I explain this to you, Allison? You will never understand me. I always wanted

your good. But now I am feeling like I can’t do this anymore. My wolf doesn’t permit me to stay with

you. I am afraid of myself. I don’t want my wolf to hurt you. Can’t you see hovalam controlling my

wolf right now?”

Anson could see his eyes turning red to black, back and forth.

Allison was perplexed. Firstly, he was drunk. Secondly, she could not understand why he was

explaining all of this to her when there was no need for it. It was always her who wanted to break

the wedding and leave him anyway.

“I can only alert you, Ethan. Don’t mess with Ryan this time. Elora is.

his woma-”

“No, she is not. She is only mine.”

“What rubbish! You are not in a state to talk. You are babbling nonsense. I am leaving.”

She said that and turned around to leave, but his reply stopped her. “She is my woman, Allison. She

is mine. My second chance. My mate
