Caged Between the beta & alpha

RAVEN

The moment those sparks rushed through me ; my eyes blazed as I looked at the man beneath me . ” And this is an even nicer punch ! ” I growled quietly , before punching him square in the nose . The sickening crunch as I broke it satisfied me .

How dare he ! I jumped off of him , resisting the urge to kick him in the balls , and instead kicked his knee , hard ! How dare he ! Grabbing my boots , I turned and stormed down the stairs .

My heart was thundering with a hundred emotions , but above all , I felt angry . How could he ignore me for three years and think he could just start flirting with me ? Nope , not happening . I am not a pushover . I will not ” Raven ! ” He grabbed my arm just as I reached the front door , and I was annoyed to see he had put his nose back in place .

” Don’t touch me , Liam . ” Thissed , yanking free . ” I’m fucking sorry . ” He said , raising his hands in surrender . ” That was out of line ” 1 He looked away and I shook my head .

He didn’t get it . What was out of line was being out of my life for three years and then pretending it never happened , that he never left or hurt me , a ” Good night , Liam . ” 11 ” It’s not safe- ” ” I said , good night . ” I said coldly , glaring at him . Daring him to argue with me , he frowned , clenching his jaw . ” Night . ” He replied coldly , and his walls were up once more .

I turned away , walking out of the house , not bothering to put my shoes on . I knew h e couldn’t follow me with Azura sleeping upstairs and I was glad .

I made my way back towards my parent’s house , not bothered with the wet floor or the dirt that was sticking to my feet . The rain was still falling lightly and the sound of distant animals could be heard .

That night , two years ago , I went with Cassandra and Aunty Angela to a neighbouring town . They had been on pack business with the pack that was hosting the mating ball . Aunty had asked me if I wanted to attend , but I told her no . As per the rules , one ball per year was hosted by King Al and the other by a different pack .

finding my own mates had been too damn painful , I had left my hotel room and gone to get some drinks . Then , to my surprise , Liam had shown up . I was beyond shocked

mating ball , he had stolen my first kiss that night . Although my entire body had wanted to give into him , I couldn’t , not when he was in that state and not when I was tied to not one but two mates . I couldn’t do that t o Damon , I had wanted to help Liam

My so – called mates . I smiled gently ; life truly sucked at times

wiped my feet on it before shutting and locking the window . I walked over to my wardrobe , taking down one of the suitcases that I hadn’t unpacked knowing I was going to leave this place anyway , Opening it up , I rummaged around until 1 pulled out Liam’s suit jacket from that night . I caressed the fabric

I had just showered , pulling on my high waisted panties , a sports bra and some baggy pyjama bottoms before I returned t o my

nose and I froze , yanking the towel from my hair , my eyes snapped to the bed where none other than Damon was sitting . Flicking through one of my books , he now looked up ,

the shut door behind me . Why was this happening today ? I didn’t want to see my mates , yet I ended up seeing both of them . His eyes trailed over me and I realised my trousers hung

he looked away smoothly . I hated how these two pigs were looking at me like I was a piece of

life ? No , I don’t think so . ” Hey , so can I ask why you are in my room ? ” I asked , raising an eyebrow , trying to ignore how hot he looked . I had broken one pretty nose tonight ; I wouldn’t mind adding another

I thought we could talk without anyone interrupting us . ” He said quietly , reaching behind him , holding up two packets of fizzy sweets and a bag of donuts . ” I brought a bribe ? ” My heart skipped a beat , but I tried not to let it get to me

my room up a little . ” Your mom , I was going to come through the window

the bed . ” Hmm . ” Thank Goddess , Dad wasn’t around . I didn’t need more drama . ” Raven , can we talk ? ” ” You want to talk

apologise for everything . Nothing I say is going to justify that night , but you have got to remember Liam is my Alpha , I fucking see him as my

both felt that you didn’t even once consider how I was probably feeling . I never wanted two mates , but I was given them .
