Semua Bab My Alpha, My Mate, My Ruin.: Bab 91 - Bab 100

Betsy’s POVMy facial expression was nothing but a clear reflection of my interest.The instant Peter mentioned his parents' identities, there was a turn of events inside me. A little flame of hope, something I had not experienced in a while was lit up in my heart. My head was overflowing with queries, endless scenarios, and all the things I had never dared to think before.A witch and a werewolf.If such a person as Peter was around, perhaps I was not totally powerless as I thought.I got up gradually, my body uneasy, my heart beating fast. Peter spotted my enthusiasm right away.“You don’t have to stand,” he said in a soft voice. “You can take a seat.”“I don’t think I can,” I answered quite truthfully. “Not at this very moment.”It felt to me that if I kept quiet, my mind would suffocate me.Peter gave a silent acknowledgment. “Would you like to take a walk?” He asked.I thought about it for no more than a second and then I nodded. “Yes, I would like that.”Getting into the pack ga

Betsy’s POVDrake's father suggested we all have dinner that evening.At first it sounded normal to me, now that more people were under one roof, family dinners were not unusual in the pack.Though his voice made me nervous and anxious that evening. There was a weight to his words, a muted authority that informed me this was not only about family connection or food.His words earlier were, I would want us all to have dinner together tonight. I have something important to tell everyone.As those words left his mouth, my chest clenched, what important thing did he want to talk about, I thought to myself.We all gathered at the dining table later that night. The table was grand, polished to a shine that matched the weak lights above; the table had already been set. Knives were next to plates, arranged well. The dishes were placed silently on the table by the servants, and they walked away quietly. Still, there was something in the air, even if everything looked so lovely.Drake was seat

Drake’s POVThe next morning came quicker than I thought.Standing in front of the mirror, I was all set for school, looking at myself. Even though it was a little strange getting back into a school uniform after all the turmoil around us. A lot had changed in no time at all, but we were still acting as if life was normal enough to return to school and lectures.Normal was a big lie.I walked out of my room and headed down the stairs.Nick was already outside by the car, leaning against it with his hands in his pockets, looking pretty much like someone with too many ideas in his head at once. I could see that Harmony was already in the car.“Good morning,” I said to Nick.Nick gave a slight nod. “Good morning, Drake.”"Has Harmony been in the car for long?” I asked him.“She has,” Nick said. “She said she did not want to be late on her first day back to school.”I nodded in understanding and looked around. "Where's Betsy?" I asked him again.Nick took a moment before he spoke. "She i

Betsy’s POVI couldn’t take my eyes off Caroline; blinking was out of the question for me. It was as if she would vanish if I did so for a moment.I had never thought I would meet her again. Not after everything. Not after the whispers, the guilt, the silence that followed Gold's demise. Her presence on the adjacent chair was fantastic, like a lost moment had suddenly revisited my life.At first, not a word was exchanged between us.School's noise was our only company, people laughing, people walking by, voices going up and down, but it was all very much far away. The world had dimmed, and only the two of us remained in that time.Caroline coughed.“What have you been up to ever since Gold died?”I was caught off guard by her question, and it hurt me more than I thought.I took a deep breath and then spoke.“I should be asking you that,” I said softly. “Gold was more your friend than mine; you guys were friends before me.”“Indeed,” she said, her voice barely audible. “She was.”“I tr

Betsy’s POVI laughed so intensely that my stomach began to ache.The experience felt unusual yet pleasant because it brought me an excessive level of enjoyment. This moment enabled me to rediscover the ability to laugh without restraint which I had forgotten. Caroline told me how our lecturer accidentally shared a romantic message intended for his wife with the entire class group chat, which she described in a way that made the story funnier.Caroline demonstrated the situation by showing how he attempted to remove the first message but sent another message which said "please ignore previous message" instead. "The first message," Caroline said, "should have helped him out of his situation.I used my hand to block my mouth while I tried to hold back my laughter. "No way. He did not." "He did", she said while she nodded at me with complete seriousness before she started laughing again.The entire problems I had vanished from my mind at that moment. Matteo. Vivian. The pack. The fear.
