Two Alpha's,one fated love

A shutdown

Wren's POV

I took out my phone and saw that my father was calling.I hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button, only to hear my mother's voice first."Wren, are you having fun, baby?"Then my father's voice came through."When are you coming back? Is it the day after tomorrow? Your mother and I will come pick you up.""I..."I choked as a wave of sorrow swept over me again. I tried to continue speaking, but I found that I couldn't make a sound, as if something was blocking my throat and choking me.There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then my father's anxious voice came through again."What's wrong? What happened, Wren?” I wiped away the tears from my eyes with my hand and said with a trembling voice, "I'm...at Moon Lake.""Why are you there? Did you go alone? Is Ralph not with you--"Suddenly my father's voice was cut off and was replaced by mother's voice as if she took the phone from him. Her voice was as gentle as ever, which only made me want to cry even more."Wait there, Wren. We'll come get you right away.""Okay."I stayed where I was, lowered my head again, and buried my face in my hands. Soon, I heard the sound of a car stopping nearby.The sound of footsteps running towards me grew closer."Wren!" It was my mother's voice.I turned my head to look, and my mother was running towards me with an anxious expression. She squatted down in front of me and hugged me tightly. "Are you okay, baby?"I buried my face in my mother's shoulder and nodded. I wanted to answer, but when I opened my mouth, I could only sob.My mother took the tissue that my father handed her and gently wiped my face. "Let's go home."I nodded and said, "Okay."I got into my father's car, fastened my seat belt, and the car started.Soon, we were back home.My mother went into the house first and dismissed the servants in the living room before coming back to take me into the room. Then she went into the bathroom and came back with a warm wet washcloth on her hand.The soft and warm touch of the towel on my slightly swollen and feverish eyes made me feel much better."Can you tell us what happened, Wren?" My mother's gentle voice sounded in my ear.I didn't look up and kept the cloth pressed against my face. I tried to speak several times, but no words came out.My mother waited for a moment, but when she didn't get a response, she comforted me again in a soft voice, "It's okay, baby. You don't have to say anything if you don't want to.” "No, Mom..." I shook my head and took the cloth off my face, folding it twice before pressing it against one eye. "I...I don't know what to do. I did something that I didn't mean to do."My mother and father both looked at me seriously, waiting for me to continue."I wanted to apologize to Ralph this morning, but when I went to his room, I found out that he was sleeping with Clover, and I just froze. I..."Tears welled up in my eyes again, and I buried my face back into the washcloth."I really don't know what to do."My mother still didn't say anything, she just hugged me gently, and her warm body comforted me.Suddenly, my father got up with a blank expression and left the living room.A little while later, he came back with a fresh wash cloth in his hand.He took the cold washcloth from my hand and replaced it with the new one. He placed his hand on my shoulder reassuringly before leaving the living room again without saying a word.My mother sat in the living room with me for a long time. We didn't say a word. We stayed like this long enough for the towel to become warm in my hands again.Then my mother took the wash cloth from my hand.I don't know what I said afterwards, or if I cried again, or when I got up. It was all a blurI came back to my senses when I was standing in front of my room. My mother must have led me to my room.And my phone was vibrating continuously in my hand, with various messages flashing on the screen.[Ralph: Wren, where are you? Have you gone back?][Ralph: Wren?] [Ralph: Wren, can you see this? I'm sorry, I don't know how it happened.]Suddenly another new message appeared, pushing Ralph's preview message to the top.[Unknown number: Have you gone back? You ran so fast. Do you recognize who I am now?]I gritted my teeth. It was Hayden.Before I could react, another message came in.[Clover: I'm sorry, Wren. Really sorry.]Suddenly, my phone vibrated fiercely and jumped to the call screen. I was startled and shook all over, almost dropping my phone. The caller was Ralph.My breathing suddenly became rapid, my heart rate increased, and my arms trembled uncontrollably. Why was he calling? Why didn't he understand I didn't want to talk or deal with him right now?I immediately declined the call. But that wasn't enough. I needed to do something else.My thumb trembled as it touched the power button. I pressed it hard, and my phone lit up for a moment before going completely black.I hoped that he would get the hint that I did not want to talk right now, if ever.I closed my eyes and finally felt some relaxation. I let out a long breath.But then, the next moment, I heard knocking coming from the front door. I then cringed when I heard Ralph's anxious voice come from outside the door."Wren, are you home?”
