Caged Between the beta & alpha

I didn’t know what to say … Dante’s birth was the catalyst for Liam’s darkness ? Goddess , I felt devastated for my brother .

We had come to find Mom and Dad , but only Mom was there .

Dad was now the Alpha of the pack again , Mom had filled u s in on everything :

The curse , the card , Liam , the killer , and the truth about Raven’s past .

Alejandro had called to ask if everything was ok and if he was needed , but I told him we were ok , right now there was nothing more we could do .

” How could you not tell me ! Raven lost her mom and she wasn’t allowed to tell m e ? She … How are we making a change if she’s still being told to keep things on the low ? ” I ran my fingers through my hair trying to stay calm , for Mom , I could tell she was distraught .

Liam had marked Raven and that triggered Mom’s own trauma of what her biological father had done to her …

Raven … Seeing the state she had been in … It broke my heart , and worse , my brother had done it .

Seeing her small figure just lying there … It broke me , I wished I could take away more than her physical pain .

As for the card that Liam pulled , I remembered it too …

I just couldn’t believe they didn’t tell me anything , Raven , too .

I felt like a bad friend for not picking up o n , it but she never shared anything with m e , ever .

Her dad was abusive ….

I remember how she used to joke about stuff often …

In I stared at the ground , my mind spinning .

I’m a bad friend , to Raven , to Damon , and an awful sister to Liam ….

” I’ll try to see if I can find anything on the curse .

Maybe I can try finding some answers .

” Delsanra said , frowning slightly .

I nodded .

” Thanks .

” I replied appreciatively before turning to Mom .

” What about the killer ? ” ” Still uncaught , we have a few clues and have ruled out at least a third of the pack .

” Mom replied .

” Delsanra , is there anything that you can find out ? ” I asked .

” Do you have anything that belongs to the killer ? ” She said turning to Mom .

Mom shook her head .

” They leave nothing behind .

” She said , her eyes looked blank , I knew the entire situation with Raven and Liam was taking its toll upon her .

” Then unless I probe every mind of everyone in this pack , I don’t think I can .

” Delsanra said regretfully . 

” Yes , and similar to the Alpha command , we don’t want that .

There’s already a lot o f tension and doubt going through the pack .

Now with Liam losing control , things will be even harder …

People will feel even more worried , doubt and fear from the inside can cause more damage .

” hair .

Mom said running her hand through her Yeah , we knew that … I exchanged looks with Delsanra .

” I understand .

Maybe I can take a look at the bodies , see if there’s anything I can do . 

” Sure , how long are you two here for ? You’ve left the kids as well Kia .

” Mom asked , now looking up .

” The men know we might be a day .

” I replied with a small smile .

” I think they’ll do perfectly well together , Rayhan and Dante get on like a house on fire .

” Delsanra added with a small smile ..

I looked at her , slightly amused despite the situation .

” Oh , they do indeed .

” I replied .

Dante , due to his abilities , could see Delsanra’s true form and his infatuation with her was still there .
