LOGINBetsy’s POVI was breathing so fast that I could hear it clearly. It felt like it didn’t belong to me anymore. It was coming short, loud bursts.I stood straight right in the middle of the forest, my chest rising and falling very quickly. I tried to keep my balance and stay from but my hands were shaking really badly. I curled my hands into fists just to give myself some semblance of control.But it wasn’t working. I didn’t have control over myself anymore. I didn’t know what the hell was going on with me at this point.“I don’t know what this is”, I said to myself as I unclenched my fists and stared at my plans. “I was getting better one moment and now it feels like something in me wants to break free from me like I had been holding it captive”.My eyes were blurry and I could feel a wave building up inside me.That same pressure and energy filling me again.Pushing and tugging, struggling to come out as if I held it in.“I can’t control it anymore, it’s too strong”, I repeated, my v
Betsy’s POVIt didn’t feel like it was stopping anytime soon, it didn’t even give me a chance to breathe.The feeling deep inside me kept growing and spreading itself through all parts of my body and I tried to ignore it but no matter how I tried it was still active.This wasn’t the pull or the bond acting up, this was something quite different from it.What was going on inside me was deeper and stronger and what was worse was that it was out of my control.I took in a deep breath and another washed through me and I clenched my fists tightly.“This is too much for me to bear”, I managed to say as my body was shaking. “It’s too… I can’t handle this”, I stuttered.Immediately my eyes widened, it was like it was being forced open.“Betsy”, Drake called softly, his voice filled with concern. “Stay with me okay, I’m right here with you and I’m not leaving your side”, he added.“Don’t let this try to pull you away from me”.I raised my head a bit and I looked into his face, worry was etche
Chapter 188Betsy’s POVMy chest was feeling suffocated as I tried to take in a deep breath, it felt like it was a great deal to breathe. My body was weak in such a way I had never felt before.But still, deep inside me something felt very alive, awake and active.It felt too active and I wasn’t calm and it didn’t feel right.I tried to force my eyes open but it felt like they were glued shut. When I first opened my eyes, things felt blurry and I couldn’t see things clearly. I rolled my eyeballs as I was trying to find something to focus on.Then bit by bit, my eyes were on him. Drake was right next to me.I noticed his hand holding mine firmly, his grip was strong like he was afraid I’ll vanish into thin air if he let me go.“Betsy”, he called softly. “Please stay with me, open your eyes, listen to my voice and come back to me”, he said, his voice filled with worry.I blinked slowly as I was trying to focus my attention on his face. But it still looked a bit blurry but at least I co
Drake’s POVEverything changed in a split second. Betsy was on the ground, lying still.“No… no, no…” I said softly as I rushed to where she lay and knelt beside her. My hands were shaking as I stretched my hands to touch her. “Betsy, please don’t do this,” I begged, my voice cracking a little. “Hey, look at me, please don’t do this to me, open your eyes”.Still, I got no response from her.I was filled with fear and I didn’t even know what to do at that point. I moved her hair gently out of her face, her eyes were tightly shut. “Don’t leave me, please,” I begged. “I know you can fight this, I know you’re stronger than this, and you can overcome it”, I said with a sense of urgency. “You can’t leave me, but like this”.I noticed Matteo coming closer, and for once, he was calm. “She pushed herself too far”, he said softly. “I told her earlier that she can’t keep resisting what has been destined”.I gritted my teeth immediately when he said that.“This is not the time for the rubb
Betsy’s POVIt kept getting worse by the minute.I couldn’t stand it anymore. The fight wasn’t just between the both of them, it was affecting me as well. I was feeling the effects of the fight.Every punch, all the movements felt like it was echoing in me and it was tearing me from inside out.I placed both hands in my head as I tried to keep my balance just as another wave hit me. “Can you guys please stop this already?” I said loudly, my voice already sounding weaker.They didn’t pay any attention to me, it was as if I was pouring water against a stone.Drake attacked Matteo again more furiously, his punches landing one after another without him pausing to catch a breath. He was fighting like he was out of control, like a force was pushing him to keep striking him more.Matteo dodged the ones he could.Again and again, the cycle kept repeating itself. “You’re taking this very far”, Matteo said as he dodged another punch.His voice was still sounding calm despite how he was movin
Betsy’s POVEverything about this gent wrong. The air felt too tense. It was as if something was pressing down forcefully in me chest, making it hard to think or even to breath and my heart was pounding furiously and I thought it could burst.I stood in between Drake and Matteo. They are facing each other, neither of them willing to step back.I felt like things would take a wrong turn if I didn’t intervene.“Can you both stop this before it turns into a crazy bloodbath”, I said to them.Neither of them looked at me and it made me feel like I was nothing, like I wasn’t even there and it was the both of them and that pissed me off more than I was willing to admit.“If you both keep pushing yourselves, it’s not likely things will get fixed”, I tried again. I tried to move a bit but my legs felt very weak.Drake didn’t move but what I said must have gotten to him.He clenched his fists and then he moved very fast before I barely had time to react.“Drake”, I managed to say but it was to
Betsy’s pov“He will be fine.” Nick said from beside me. “What happened out there?”“How about a ‘are you okay? Did you get hurt too?’” He said teasingly.I finally turned to look at him and I sniffled, lunging into his arms. He chuckled.“I didn’t say that to make you cry, little sis.”“I know.”
Betsy’s povEight Days LaterThe clearing smelled of damp earth and pine, heavy with the night chill that clung stubbornly to the air. I crouched low, feet digging into soft dirt, eyes narrowing on the training dummies I’d set up hours ago. Moonlight spilled across the clearing, casting silver shad

Betsy’s povMy wolf hummed beneath my skin, alert, tasting the tension. I ran to my training space, needing to burn something, anything, and to prove something.I started with basic forms, focusing on my stance, my breath, the hum of my energy. The wolf pressed harder and I pushed back. My hands gl
