Chapter 131

Author's POVWith a serene stillness, night gently descended upon the mansion and the surrounding gardens. Soft lights from the windows lay across the grass, and the faint leaf rustling permeated the air.But not everyone felt composed within the home.Betsy was perched on the edge of her bed upstairs, her phone lightly in her hand. She hadn't even bothered to switch on the screen.Her mind drifted distantly.The talk she had in the car earlier that day kept circling her thoughts.Drake talked about the brawl that happened at training, his voice measured but somewhat frustrated as he talked about the new player who kept hitting him throughout the game.Maxwell.The name caused Betsy to frown somewhat.The Maxwell she had conversed with at school seemed nothing like the sort of person Drake described.He had acted gently. One who thoughtfully picked his words before speaking.During practice, Drake had sounded absolutely confident that Maxwell was trying to provoke him.Betsy sighed so

Drake's POVI knew my father didn't summon people into his study for trivial events.Thus, when the guard informed me earlier that my father wanted to see me there, I was already ready for a serious talk.Mostly concerning the pack. Or, the league.Nonetheless, the never-ending obligations he had been steering toward me recently.But when I came into the study and glanced at the pile of papers strewn over his desk, I realized something else.My dad wasn't looking through the pack reports.He was going over corporate records.I closed the door behind me and went fully inside the room.“You wanted to see me,” I said quietly.My father did not turn around right away. Before carefully setting it down on the desk, he completed the page in front of him.“Yes,” he answered.I came up close to the massive desk and stopped.“Is it about the pack?”For a brief moment, he was silent.Then he shook his head and leaned back in his chair.“No.”That took me aback.Generally, when he summoned me int

Drake's POVI never imagined myself to be the kind of person who followed someone just to see who they were chatting with.Still, I was doing precisely that.The morning began as usual. Classes, students crammed the hallways, the usual slamming of lockers, and chatter. Everything seemed the same as any other school day from the outside.For me, nevertheless, nothing seemed natural.Something had been bothering me ever since yesterday's car chat with Betsy.The manner in which she continued asking about Maxwell.How she attempted to conceal it by claiming she was merely interested in me.Betsy was someone I knew well enough to distinguish when she was trying to avoid a question and when she was actually being truthful.Yesterday she had turned away from it.I found that really offensive.So today, I decided differently than I typically would by concentrating on something besides training.I had to witness everything firsthand.Earlier that morning, that was why I walked into the rink a

Chapter 134

Drake's POVI just looked at Nick straight.We were silent for a few moments. Still resounding in my head were his words, and I had difficulty responding the way I typically would.The weird part was that he was not wrong. And the way he said it with that cool assurance indicated something significant to me.Nick wasn't guessing. He knew.Turning away from him for a minute, I took a long breath and rubbed the back of my neck.Watching my response closely, Nick leaned easily against the bench next to me.“You are remarkably quiet”, he said.“Because you merely dropped something massive on me”, I replied.Nick shrugged a little. “Did I?” He asked.I turned my head and stared at him once again.You described it as if it were the most natural occurrence on earth.Nick gave a little smirk. “Well… isn't it?” He asked.I shook my head a little. You make it sound easy.Nick crossed his arms. “Then tell me I am mistaken”.I stared at him a moment longer before finally sighing.“I cannot keep h

Chapter 135

Betsy's POVI was not even mindful of how long it had been.One moment Maxwell and I were conversing about anything, staring across from one another in the canteen, the next the space had turned eerily silent.Through the enormous windows, the afternoon light poured over the empty tables, creating long shadows.Maxwell was the first to notice it.He stopped midway through our chat and glanced about carefully.“Well,” he responded with a tiny chuckle, “I suppose we just busted a record.”I looked around. Practically every table nearby had no people on it.Usually present in the canteen during lunch hours, the noise had completely vanished. The gentle humming of the air conditioner and the faraway rattling of utensils in the kitchen were the only sounds left.I gazed around in surprise.“Wait… where did everyone go?Maxwell rested back in his chair, folding his arms easily.“I was thinking the same thing.”I turned my gaze toward the big clock on the wall.My eyes widened. “Oh no.”I gr

Chapter 136

Betsy's POVI felt the eerie weight that had trailed us all the way from school still sitting inside the car as it stopped in front of the residence. The whole ride home had been excruciatingly silent. Drake had driven without saying a word, his eyes glued on the road as though nothing else existed. In the front seat, Nick had kept quiet, his serious expression turned outward at the window, unreadable to me. Even Harmony, who usually found something to laugh at, kept remarkably still.It made the brief journey seem much longer than it actually was.Drake marched straight for the home, oblivious to our departure from the vehicle. He didn't even look my way. Just that made my chest tighten since Drake never treated me with that degree of coldness.For a moment, I stood there watching him vanish inside.Something was obviously amiss.Ahead of me, Harmony had already ascended the stairs as we entered the house. Nick followed silently behind her. Thinking, I lingered close to the doorway f

Chapter 137

Betsy’s POVHaving left Nick's room, I strolled along the corridor, too many thoughts racing through my head. The talk with him had made me uneasy, the more I considered Drake's actions earlier, the more confident I became that I had to speak to him.Ignoring our relationship would not solve anything.I needed to confront Drake and clear things up if he was furious.A few minutes later I found myself standing outside his bedroom door only because of that choice.I knocked and there was no response.I knocked again a bit louder after a few seconds. The silence in the room continued long enough for me to question if he wasn’t around.Just as I was about to knock once more, I finally heard activity inside.Drake's voice then came through the doorway.“Who is it?”His tone was even but not necessarily friendly either.“It's me,” I responded immediately. It's Betsy.“Currently, I am occupied”, he said.Hoping he would open the door, I said abruptly, “I just want to chat.”“That won't happe

Chapter 138

Drake's POVMy room went quiet once Betsy's voice faded from the hallway, but it did not provide me the peace I had hoped for.Instead, it made everything worse.Staring at the ground, I sat on the corner of my bed, repeating our brief chat in my thoughts over and over again.The manner in which she had kept knocking.The sound of her voice as she attempted to make her case.And the manner in which I cut her off.As I rubbed my hands across my face, a frustrated breath exited my lungs.I should not have talked to her like that.Betsy did not merit that sort of frigid attitude from me regardless of how furious I was.But something inside me had broken when I saw her with Maxwell earlier that day.It was more than just jealousy.It went deeper than anything else. Something nastier.One part of me was constantly asking the same question.Should I chase after her?Betsy hardly ever came to my room like that unless anything was seriously bothering her. The reality that she had stood outsid

Chapter 139

Drake's POVLong after we carried Betsy back inside and laid her on the bed, the room stayed tense. Though she was breathing regularly, none of us felt relaxed enough to unwind. My thoughts kept returning to the image of her lying unconscious on the training ground.Staying next to her bed, I closely observed her as the guards softly went around the room.A few minutes later the pack doctor eventually showed up.Quickly he entered the space with his medical bag. His demeanor was grave, the same one he always displayed when called for crises.“Move aside and give her some space,” he said softly.Though I backed away unwillingly, I did not quite leave the bedside.Putting his bag on the table, the doctor started meticulously checking Betsy. He inspected her eyes, her pulse, and her breathing.While he worked, we all sat quietly waiting.With his arms crossed, Nick watched every move the doctor made. Clearly anxious but striving to be calm, Harmony leaned against the wall next to him.I

Chapter 140

Author's POVThe corridor outside Betsy's room felt colder than the other parts of the home. Drake and Nick's silence weighed on them both, neither of them able to disregard it. At the instant the door closed behind them, the pent-up stress within the room finally emerged.Nick faced Drake, ready to speak, but Drake talked first before Nick could say anything.“I already know why you brought me out here”, Drake said in a low voice. “And I'm not consenting before you even say it.”Nick stopped to carefully observe Drake's expression. His tone had no doubt, no hesitation in his eyes. Drake had already decided.Nick, meanwhile, wasn't one to give way lightly.“You know what is at stake,” Nick said gradually. “This has nothing to do with pride or previous difficulties. Betsy is what this is all about.Drake's jaw tightened at her name.“I am aware of that,” he replied. “Calling Matteo back into this, however, won't solve anything.”Drake shook his head.“There has to be another way,” he
