All Chapters of My Alpha, My Mate, My Ruin.: Chapter 101 - Chapter 108

Drake’s POVThe sounds of laughter and voices behind us disappeared as we moved away from the building. The hallway felt longer than usual, and I moved through the space with greater weight because I walked toward a known location. Nick walked beside me, his body remained rigid while his mouth stayed closed. I recognized that expression because I was sure his mind was on Betsy.I spoke first to end the quietness between us."I didn’t know why you had to take off running that way," I said. "Now both of us appeared foolish because we stood there like something was wrong."Nick stopped walking abruptly and turned to face me. "Why are you saying we?” he asked. "You didn’t have to follow me. I ran because I wanted to. And I don’t look stupid in front of my sister."I scoffed lightly. "You ran in like the place was on fire.""And you followed right behind me," he shot back. "If you wanted to avoid appearing foolish, you should have stayed back instead of following me."I clenched my jaw.

Drake’s POVThe meeting with the coach lasted for an unexpected duration which exceeded my anticipated time.When he asked us to go to his office, I was expecting a brief meeting which would end after we exchanged a few words and received a disciplinary warning. When we got to the office, the coach’s eyes went from me to Nick, he was studying us while sitting in his chair without making any sound. My eyes went to the walls, which displayed photos from previous teams together with trophy displays and jerseys that were encased in glass. The room emitted an odor which combined ice and metal and ancient recollections of past events. The space existed as a site where people achieved their goals but also experienced their biggest failures."I’m glad you’re back, Drake," he finally said.Nick who sat beside me kept observing the coach with his arms crossed at his sides."I’m glad to be back," I replied.The coach nodded to what I had said then continued. "The team needs you. We’ve been str

Betsy’s POVThe house did not maintain its typical quietness when we returned home. The moment we stepped into the living room my eyes landed on someone who I did not expect to see. Shea. She sat on the couch with her legs crossed while holding her phone as if she had been there for some time. I stood there for a moment while I stared at her because I wanted to understand how she got there. Nick hadn’t said anything about her since we moved in with Drake. My chest developed a tight feeling which I could not control.Shea stood up suddenly and rushed toward Nick showing him her wide smile. "Nicky" she said with happiness as she wrapped her arms around his neck.She hugged him so closely, in such a manner that it appeared that if she were to let go of him, he would just evaporate into thin air. Eventually, about halfway through, Nick, who looked shocked to see her here, put his arms around her.“I missed you so much,” Shea said, speaking softly but audibly enough for everybody in t

Betsy’s POVSleep didn’t come for me that night.I was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling. I kept rolling from one side to the other as if the bed was uncomfortable. My eyes ached from being open for too long. However, every time I tried to close my eyes, my brain didn’t seem to get the hint. Thoughts swam around in my head one after the other. They were all jumbled and loud.If it wasn’t Vivian, it was Matteo or school, my feelings about Drake and Nick not finding out about us.It all swirled around in my head. I sighed and wrapped the blanket around my chest. After a while, I threw the blanket off my shoulders. My room was too warm. Then it suddenly got too cold. I sat up and looked around. Everything was the same. However, everything felt off."I just need some air," I said to myself as I grabbed my robe.I got out of bed quietly and walked towards the door. I stood there for a moment. It was too late. Everyone was sleeping. Nick would probably yell at me if he knew I was walking
