Chapter 40

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.

“He is just a family friend. Nothing more. He helped me with his motivation. I feel a sense of

gratitude. Aside from that, I can’t think of anything else.”

Teresa nodded her head as if she were thinking something.

After all the classes, Allison returned to her home. Tomorrow was the weekend, so she thought

about going to the training the day after

tomorrow.

People could call her lazy, but she did not want to face Ethan every day, even though it was good

for her wolf.

When it was eight o’clock in the evening, Allison was scrolling her social media timeline while lying

on her bed. She was alone in her house. Her parents went to a pack party at 6. She was feeling

bored alone.

RING!

Her phone started to vibrate with a ringtone.

It was from an unknown number. She received the call.

“Hello?”

“You still haven’t saved my phone number, right?”

She got on her feet and questioned,

“Ryan?”

“What were you doing? Feeling bored?”

Allison put away her phone and looked around her room.

‘Did he set any cameras in my room? But he had never come to my home before.’ She thought.

He hummed when she became silent.

“Why did you call me?” She inquired.

He replied with a chuckle,

“I am standing at your main door.”
