Chapter 43

“What do you mean?” Allison asked with confusion.

“Nothing.” He responded.

He looked at the bartender. “Give her a glass of orange juice.”

“No, I like apple juice.” She corrected him.

He nodded his head. “Note it.”

“What?”

“Nothing.” He said that again and glanced at the bartender. “You heard her.”

“Yes, Sir.”

“With no alcohol.” He reminded him.

“Got it, sir.”

Allison stared at Ryan. His eyes caught hers. “What?”

“I can’t understand you.”

“No one could.”

She rolled her eyes and tried to find her best friend in the crowd.

“You said that Teresa is coming here. Now where is she?”

“How would I know?”

“What do you mean? Where is your friend Max?”

He shifted his eyes everywhere. Then he lifted his hand and waved at

someone.

She saw Max coming towards them, “I was looking for you.” Max said

to Ryan and smiled at Allison.

“Where is Teresa?” She asked Max.

“She did not come with me.”

“What? Why?”

Max looked upset. He replied with a disturbed tone, “I don’t know what’s on her mind. She said she

could not go anywhere with me until her birthday.”

Allison sighed. She thought Teresa would come, so she agreed to come to this party. But now she

would have to feel bored here.

“It looks like you suggested the same thing to your best friend too.”

She heard Ryan. She turned to him. He stood up and said, “I am coming in a few minutes.”

“Where are you going?”

Max replied to her on behalf of Ryan “He will be back. We have something urgent to talk about.”

“Oh, okay.”

She saw Ryan go to another side. Many boys were there waiting for him. Then Ryan walked to the

stairs and went upstairs.

She could see him standing on the side and talking with a few men. She frowned at the thought of

those men.

‘Who are they?’

She sat there for a while and asked for another drink. She fell a few

gazes on her. She glanced around and saw a few boys staring at her. They did not have good

intentions. She could guess their intentions with their eyes.

“Allison?”

She saw Ethan with his friend Wade. He came to stand beside her.

Ethan, Hi.”

“Hi. What are you doing here alone?” He asked as his eyes moved to

her clothes.

She somehow lowered her eyes, and felt embarrassed. This dress was really grabbing the attention

of the boys.

She cleared her throat and asked, “Where is your partner? I heard you can’t enter the party without

a partner.”

“Who can stop our Alpha from entering a party?” Wade asked from beside Ethan.

Allison felt Wade was right. No one would dare.

“But we came together since he does not like to show his power.” Wade explained.

“Together? I thought only a girl could partner with a boy at this party.”

Ethan frowned, his brows crinkled. “What are you saying? Who tole you this?”

Allison moved her eyes upstairs to Ryan, who was talking with some boys.

“This man!” She muttered angrily. How dare he lie to her about it? He

could have come with Max or any other friend.

Ethan’s eyes turned to where she was looking. His eyes turned dark.

“Did you come here with him?”

She nodded her head. “Yeah.”

Ethan got mad after listening to her reply. “Allison, what are you doing? You did not come for

training yesterday for him, and now you

are here at this party with him?”

Allison felt irritated by his question. So?”

He raised his brows. “See? You are even speaking like him. He is impacting you badly.”

“Nothing is like that.”

Wade told Ethan that he was going to talk with someone. He nodded and sat beside Allison, where

Ryan was sitting a while ago.

“Allison”

“I am listening.” She replied. Her gaze was incessantly drawn to the upper floor.

She saw a few girls approaching Ryan. He began to talk to them. When one of them started to go

closer to him, he pushed her and said something that made her look upset. Then those girls left his

side.

Suddenly, Allison felt a hand caressing her hair. She turned her head to Ethan. He smiled at her. It

was a soft and sweet smile.

“I am sorry if I offend you with my questions.”

She would have passed out looking at him smiling if he had not rejected her that night. But now,

everything has changed.

She was about to push his hand; however, her eyes fell on Ryan. He was staring at her.

She rolled her eyes and spun her tool toward the bar.

‘So now he is looking at me? He does not have any responsibility at all. He left me here alone.’ She

thought about it and got angry inside.

Ethan moved his hand away and said,

“If you don’t like this place, I can drop you home.”

But a voice behind her intervened just as she was about to say that

she wanted to go back.

“She can’t go anywhere with you.”

She did not turn, but Ethan did.

“Ryan, why did you bring her here?”

Ryan moved toward Allison and replied,

“She came here with me, so you don’t have to think for her.”

“You left her and she was here alone. What if someone-”

“She is not a child.”

This time, Allison turned to Ryan. Before she could say something, Ryan questioned her, “Didn’t

you agree to be my date tonight?”

“Date for tonight? How dare you even say that?” Ethan stood up from) his tool and proceeded to

Ryan.

Allison did not want them to argue like that night again. So she

looked at Ethan and confirmed him, “I came with him. He will drop me. Don’t worry.”

Ethan’s face turned grim. “Does your father know that you came here with him?”

Allison was taken aback by Ethan’s question. She remembered how angry her father was when he

saw Ryan drop her off at home.

“Oh. So you are trying to be her father now?” Ryan scoffed at Ethan.

Allison stood up and let out, “Ethan, please. I don’t want you two to fight. I am not a child. I know

what’s good for me. So stop telling me what I should do.”

When Ethan heard her, he immediately felt enraged. He nodded his

After that, Ethan stormed out of the club in a huff of wrath.

Allison shifted her attention to Ryan. “Let’s leave now.”

“The party has just begun. And you are my date. How can I let you go this early?”

“W-What?”

He moved closer to her face and smirked at her perplexed reaction. “Let me teach you how to enjoy

the nightlife.”
