My Alpha, My Mate, My Ruin.
She came back to bury the past — not to fall for the one man she was never supposed to want.
Betsy has lived her whole life by one unshakeable rule — protect your dignity, guard your heart, and never let desire make a fool of you. It is the code her mother drilled into her bones, and she has never once broken it. She has a boyfriend, a faith she stands on, and principles she built her entire identity around.
But nobody warned her about Drake.
Her brother's best friend. The Alpha. The man whose presence alone makes her question everything she thought she knew about herself. She was gone long enough to forget the way this pack breathes — and now that she is back, she cannot escape him. Cannot escape the way her body betrays her every time he is near. Cannot escape the terrifying realization that this man — this impossible off-limits man — sees something in her that her own boyfriend never has.
Drake has spent years building walls of his own. He is the Alpha. Disciplined. Untouchable. And Betsy is his best friend's little sister — a line he has never had reason to cross.
Until now.
Because she is back, and she is different, and something about her has gotten under his skin in a way he cannot logic his way out of. He does not understand it yet. But he feels it — deep, persistent, and dangerous.
Some rules exist for a reason.
These two are about to find out exactly what happens when you break them.
