All Chapters of My Alpha, My Mate, My Ruin.: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

Betsy's PovI stood at the window with my arms folded, staring at the town like it was a puzzle I hadn’t figured out yet.Everything looked so… organized. The streets were clean, the lawns perfectly trimmed, and the buildings lined up as if someone had used a ruler to place them there. I was happy to be here.It was almost too perfect. Like the kind of town that had secrets hiding behind its white picket fences and flower boxes. My breath fogged up the glass slightly as I leaned in. Somewhere out there, I will be walking into my first class tomorrow. A new school, a new town… and maybe a new version of me. And I'd meet my brother, Nick. It had been so long since I've seen him. Actually, I never really knew him much. My mum had taken me away from the town three years after I was born. And now…. I was back.I sighed, inhaling the fresh air that was almost too perfect for me to not feel.“Betsy!” my mom’s voice called out from downstairs. “Get your things arranged and come downstairs f

Betsy's PovI stepped outside and saw him already standing by the car. “I’m ready,” I said, adjusting the strap of my bag on my shoulder.He didn’t even glance my way before turning to the car. “Get in,” he said flatly.O…kay?I blinked, trying to piece together what had just happened. Just a few minutes ago, this same man had been smirking, teasing, practically glowing with charm. Now? Stone cold. Completely unreadable.I followed him to the car and slid into the passenger seat. Not a word from him. Not even a sideways glance.What the hell happened to his mood?Was it me? Did I do something wrong? Have I given off a bad vibe by checking him out? He didn't seem displeased. Or was it Alpha sickness?My thoughts were spinning, and one question kept looping in my mind. ‘Where was Mum?’ She usually at least stood at the door, giving those weird half-hugs or telling me to eat something. But now? Nothing. She left the house and didn't even tell me what to have for breakfast. I pulled out

Drake's PovI had to test the theory.I wasn’t crazy. I couldn’t be. Not after what happened the last few times I was around Betsy.So I picked up the watch.A purple wristwatch my father got me last year as a birthday gift. I didn't know why he chose purple, but I didn't ask. Father was always one to not be questioned.To me, the watch had always looked pink. I never cared much. I was color blind. Nick knew that. Those who got to find out, knew but no one would dare spout it. But today?I saw purple.Not dull or washed out. Actual purple. Then I looked up and saw her walking toward me in a brown hoodie. I didn’t need anyone to tell me the color when I saw her again I could see it. Rich, deep brown. And her hair, golden brown, catching the light.When I first saw her at the house, I thought my head was playing games with me. Maybe a bad night. Maybe I was tired. But now? I’d never been more awake. My theory was right. I'm not color blind around Betsy. What was different about her?
