LOGINBetsy— Mother says everything a lady can do to help herself in this cruel world is to fend and take care of herself without losing a strand of her hair to shameful behavior. And I totally agree with her. But how do I explain compromising my faith, my ideals and my principle? One I had been upholding since I was a kid, all because of a hot body my brother calls a best friend. I wasn't going to take the chance to be swayed by someone I should see as my brother, my Alpha, someone I shouldn't think of having, not going to happen. Did I mention I've got a boyfriend who loves me? Now I can tell, I'm such a mess! Drake— I may be color blind, but not with her. I see everything clearly when she's around. Betsy is my best friend's younger sister. We never got to be so close to each other, her mother had taken her away from the pack since her father's death. But Nick had stayed behind as my beta, it was his duty. Now that she's back to the town and to the pack, I couldn't believe how she managed to fill my thoughts, and get into my mind. And that was it. I was going to find out exactly what made her so different from other she-wolves. Was it the way she swings that tiny waist? Or was it just in my head?
View MoreBetsy’s povI woke up feeling like I’d been run over by a truck. Apparently now that I was a beta, I’d be feeling this way until I got used to it. I dragged myself to the bathroom and splashed water on my face. My reflection looked… tired. Shadowed eyes, messy curls, and this faint glow that wasn’t there before. The two bonds kept tugging at me and even though I knew it wasn’t safe to do so, I ignored the warning and pain.I grabbed my clothes for the day, stepped out of the bathroom and nearly collided face-first with Drake.His knuckles were lifted like he’d been about to knock. His eyes widened. “Morning, Starblood.”“Do you just lurk?? Right outside my room??” I said as I remembered that he’d been standing there yesterday too. “I wasn’t lurking,” he said smoothly. “I was waiting. There’s a difference.”“You’re weird.”“And you’re late,” he replied, stepping back so I could exit. “I’ve got breakfast waiting. And training. Beta-level training, which, unfortunately for you, means
Betsy’s povI groaned as I placed my pillow over my face.The morning sun had woken me up, hitting me square in the face. My body ached in places I didn’t even know could hurt and my wolf was more conscious than ever. I sat up when I noticed that someone had stopped just outside my door.“Good morning, Starblood,” Drake said as he leaned on my doorframe. I’d noticed that he’d called me that last night but I hadn’t been able to ask him why he kept calling me by something everyone says is a curse. “Don’t tell me you’re here to lecture me again,” I muttered, dropping back on my bed.“Nah. Just here to make sure my favorite troublemaker is awake and ready for a very special surprise.”I raised my head a little to squint at him. “Special surprise?”He smirked. “You’ll see. But first, breakfast. You can’t attend surprises on an empty stomach. Even dramatic, life-changing ones.I rolled my eyes. “I’ll be down in some minutes.”*.*.*.*.*.Breakfast in the Lanemoon pack hall was a mix of sc
Drake’s povI sat on the edge of her bed. Close. Maybe too close.“Betsy,” I breathed out like a confession, “I’m sorry.”She frowned. “For what? Bleeding everywhere? Being heroic? That is very rude.”I didn’t smile this time. “For pushing you. For making you think you owe me anything. For wanting more than I should.”Her stare pinned me. “…Why do you?”I swallowed. My voice came rough. “Because I can’t stop thinking about you. Even when I try. Even when I know I shouldn’t.”Her breath hitched.“And I know Nick will hate it,” I continued. “He’ll tell me to stay away. But I can’t.”Silence.Then she reached for my hand.“I’m glad you didn’t die,” she whispered. “I don’t want you to die. Ever. I don’t know what this is. Before the whole coronation, you were just my brother’s best friend and there’s the issue with Matteo but I… seeing you being attacked like that, I can’t… I can’t lose you.”My heart kicked like a damn mule.“Betsy…” I murmured.“Yes?”“Can I…” I leaned closer, voice low
Drake’s povIf someone had told me a month ago that I’d be driving through the middle of nowhere with my beta, his terrifying baby sister, and a dude claiming he’s her mate, to meet a witch, I would’ve assumed I’d taken a head injury.Yet here I was, behind the wheel, trying to ignore Matteo breathing in the back and the way Nick’s head was tilted at a bad angle. And Betsy?She was in the passenger seat, staring out the window like the trees offended her existence.A few minutes later, we arrived in front of the witch’s house. At least according to the address that had been given to us. “We’re here.” I announce.Matteo shakes Nick awake.I sigh, turning to my best friend.“Why did you come on this if you were going to sleep the entire drive?”“Gotta have my beauty sleep.” He quips.I roll my eyes and turn to Betsy who’s still looking outside the window. “You keep frowning at that forest and it’s going to apologize,” I said casually.She didn’t look at me. I risked a glance, her fing
