My Alpha, My Mate, My Ruin.

My Alpha, My Mate, My Ruin.

She came back to bury the past — not to fall for the one man she was never supposed to want. Betsy has lived her whole life by one unshakeable rule — protect your dignity, guard your heart, and never let desire make a fool of you. It is the code her mother drilled into her bones, and she has never once broken it. She has a boyfriend, a faith she stands on, and principles she built her entire identity around. But nobody warned her about Drake. Her brother's best friend. The Alpha. The man whose presence alone makes her question everything she thought she knew about herself. She was gone long enough to forget the way this pack breathes — and now that she is back, she cannot escape him. Cannot escape the way her body betrays her every time he is near. Cannot escape the terrifying realization that this man — this impossible off-limits man — sees something in her that her own boyfriend never has. Drake has spent years building walls of his own. He is the Alpha. Disciplined. Untouchable. And Betsy is his best friend's little sister — a line he has never had reason to cross. Until now. Because she is back, and she is different, and something about her has gotten under his skin in a way he cannot logic his way out of. He does not understand it yet. But he feels it — deep, persistent, and dangerous. Some rules exist for a reason. These two are about to find out exactly what happens when you break them.

Chapter: Chapter 166
Betsy’s POVI remained immobile even after Mateo left.Like something had planted me on the ground, my body felt solidly fixed. Though not in a way providing comfort, the area he had been in just minutes ago was now empty.The silence was oppressive. It appeared as though everything had been left behind.Over and over again, the things he said kept ringing in my head.“Let's see how long it'll take for love to outweigh destiny,” he had said.I gently swallowed as my chest kept pounding erratically, trying to drive the thought away.It stayed pinned in my head despite not moving an inch. It kept repeating itself over and over as though trying to bury itself far down.Drake's voice drew me back from my fog of ideas, “Betsy”, he called.I blinked, it was then I understood I had been looking ahead without really seeing anything.He got nearer, his eyes on me as if he were searching for something.“Are you okay?” he asked.I instantly nodded.“I'm okay”, I said, flashing a little smile.Th

Chapter: Chapter 165
Drake's POVMy chest kept rising and falling steadily as I observed Matteo, not from exhaustion but from the tension that wouldn't stop.He moved back immediately. Still, something about it did not strike me as withdrawal.It also did not seem to be defeat. If for anything… it struck me as something premeditated.He was far too composed for someone who had just been challenged. For someone who had just been tested like Betsy had, he was far too cool.I narrowed my eyes slightly as I looked at him closely.I watched his every movement, the way he looked at her. It looked suspicious to me.He could not even fool me, not for one second.People like Matteo only backed off if they had something else in mind. And right now, I could sense it.He was not quite done yet that I was very sure of.“The way you are stepping back, are you sure you don’t want to leave now?” I asked slowly, my voice cool as I stared at him. “Are you ready to leave now?” I repeated the question. He looked at me fo

Chapter: Chapter 164
Betsy's POVMy heart was beating so rapidly that I believed I could hear it in my ears.Between Matteo and myself, I stood there facing him, none of us wanted to be the bigger person and let go.I could let this go on much longer without feeling tired one bit.I was stronger now, I was not the same frail girl he knew any longer.My wolf was agitated within me. She was growled and paced all around. She was ready to move and act immediately but it wasn't like before when I acted wild and erratic.Drake was behind me, his presence was constant and powerful, with him standing there, I felt like I could take on the world.I didn't need a soothsayer to inform me he was watching and prepared to step in if matters turned wrong. That alone inspired me to continue.I stayed firm even when a little degree of fear was slowly trying to creep in but I stood my ground.Unlike before when I came across him, goosebumps from nowhere filled my body and i would begin to tremble, but now, his presence an

Chapter: Chapter 163
Drake's POVMy heart was thumping violently in my chest, not from dread, but from what I saw unfold directly in front of me.Betsy was standing there, standing up for herself. As she talked to Matteo, she appeared very assured, resolute, and strong.My eyes could not believe what they were witnessing. I used my hands to wipe my face to be sure I was seeing correctly.The same Betsy who a few months ago could not stand up for herself now stood in front of Matteo without fear.Had Betsy been in such circumstances, the regular Betsy would have wept but that had altered.Deep down, I was incredibly proud of how strong she had grown and how she could now defend herself.But the most startling aspect of seeing her was witnessing her manage her abilities, she had been making improvements in that part.Earlier this week, during an argument she had lost control and it drained her of her energy right when she was trying to defend Harmony from Vivian’s clutches. Watching her fight it now, I coul

Chapter: Chapter 162
Betsy's POVIn my chest, my heart was racing uncontrollably, how could he appear here to claim someone he could not have, that was the height of his stupidity.My hold on Drake's hand weakened gradually.Matteo took another step again, his eyes never left mine, yet his expression remained disdainful.On his face, he still retained that composed demeanor, which gave the entire affair a different feel.I was nearly overwhelmed by a wave of terror right away, but I couldn't allow him to see it.I stood my ground, he wasn't to know that his presence still had some sort of effect on me.Even my self-assurance improved when Drake moved closer and stood next to me. With him being there, I knew he wouldn't allow Matteo to hurt me at all and Matteo wouldn’t even dare try such.Feeling that surge of confidence, I drew closer to drake and squeezed his hands tightly.“I am your mate and that's how it was meant to be,” Matteo repeated.“You cannot conquer fate”, he said, a grin on his face.“It is

Chapter: Chapter 161
Betsy's POVI stayed still, I didn’t even move an inch. The tension in the air was unbearable.It was nearly visible, not only felt. Thick and hard. It was simultaneously pinning all of us.Drake stayed put also. Like a shield I hadn't asked for but urgently needed, he stood strong in front of me, his body separating me from Matteo.Still… I did back away. Rather, I hung around.I was closer to him now than before. Near enough to feel his body's warmth. Slowly, I turned my attention toward his face. I could see it even from the side. The rage in his eyes. But below that, there was something else.He was holding it within because of me. My chest stiffened a bit as I came to that understanding.Then my attention returned to Matteo. He had remained still.“I'm not leaving,” Matteo said.His voice broke through the thick silence.“Not until she says yes to hearing me.”My heart leaped. As his words sank in, my fingers curled at my sides.My mind whirled once more, I swallowed hard and ev
