Caged Between the beta & alpha

RAVEN Shit , I was running late ! Last night I hadn’t been able to sleep properly and I was paying for it now ! I ran down the stairs three at a time , jumping down the final six and was about to rush t o the door when Dad stepped out of the living room .

” This is a house and I would appreciate you treating it like one . ” He said curtly . ” I’m getting late , sorry ! ” I said hurrying t o the kitchen and going to the fridge to grab a water bottle .

I was about to reach for one when Dad snapped the fridge shut , missing my fingers by inches . I moved back , my heart skipping a beat as I looked at Dad , who was staring at me with a cold glare on his face .

I glanced at Mom who turned her back on me and busied herself with making breakfast . ” This is my house and as long as you are living under my roof , you will obey my rules and that includes letting boys into your room . ” ” Ok . “

I didn’t have time for this , I needed to ask Liam or Uncle El when I could move out … I needed out . ” Raven ! ” ” What ? ” ” Are you showing me attitude ? ” Dad said , frowning coldly . ” I said ok , that I agree , no boys in my room .

” I shook my head , leaving the kitchen empty – handed . ” Useless . ” Dad muttered , and 1 glanced back over my shoulder . How was I useless ? I left the house , just glad to be out of there . ” Hey , Raven !

” I looked up to see Taylor strolling over to me from the house next door , I smiled brightly . ” Hey .

” We fell into step , it was clear he was ready for training . As the elite group , I would train them , but there were other top warriors who headed the other training sessions .

From what I could see , Taylor was one of those who did teach some of the other lower groups . ” You know , it’s impressive to see you in this position . ” He said . ” Thanks , I guess ? Was it so hard to imagine ,

I’ve always been a tough one ! ” I said , showing him my biceps . He whistled , ” Damn , now those are some perfect muscles , I’m envious . ” He said , tapping m y arm as he grinned . ” Of course . ” I said , glancing at his muscular arms .

” You hold nothing in comparison .  ” Oh , absolutely not . ” We both started laughing , just as someone I called out to me .

Raven ! ” We stopped , turning to see Zack the Delta come jogging over . He was shirtless . His earring glinted in his left ear and his black hair tumbled over his forehead . ” Hey , guys … ” He said , trailing off when h e glanced at Taylor .

Taylor’s heart was racing and I could sense the tension between them . ” Hi … ” I said , wondering what that was about . ” I’ll see you two around . ” Taylor said suddenly , running off towards the training grounds . Weird . ” What is it ?

I asked Zack , who was frowning slightly . ” Ah yeah , sorry , we’re throwing a welcoming home bash for

e didn’t really get to with everything that had happened . ” Zack said , running his hands through his black hair . ” Oh , ok and ?

a small smirk and I really wanted to refuse … ” I don’t really know , I mean I might be busy- ” ” Raven , you have got to come too

Zack , I have- ” ”

. ” Thanks . ” He flashed me a grin before running off . Great . Liam better not get any ideas . Shaking my

I was the one that needed to set an example . Training was over and I was trying to figure out if I should go find him or if I could just mind link him … Actually , that would be easier .

what’s happening with my place …. requested to see if there was a room in the packhouse … ‘ Yeah

down later to my office and you can grab the key . > ‘ Oh ok , great . ‘ ‘ Anything else ? ” ‘ No. ‘ I didn’t

I was so ready to get out of here . I only had a few items left when I quickly decided to get dressed for the evening . I took out a black strapless bodysuit , black shorts , lace net tights and some leather

highlighter . I looked in the mirror . My smoky black eyes

Ok all done . I’m here to show everyone I a m living my life to the best , I am

me before Dad and Mom saw the packed bags . Slowly , I crept down the steps . Only when I reached the front door did

called before slamming the door shut behind me . I was not going to deal with them right now . I walked down towards the river and took a

day after ? Look , there’s something I need to show you down by the west side o of the

my way . ‘ There , my job was done . I continued walking along , soon the smell of

on his way . What pizza you got ? ” I asked . He smirked . ” No pizza until you bring the Alpha .

” I whispered . ‘ Go get him and give me a heads up .

voice came . ‘ I’m coming . ‘ I said , walking

, what is … ” . Liam trailed off , his eyes flashing a magnetic blue as his gaze raked over me . Shit , don’t get the wrong idea . His

be here alone with him . Turning quickly , I led the way , power walking towards the location Zack had told me , but

arm at his touch , my stomach fluttering and my heart pounding as he spun me around to face him ,

she have to make these men so handsome ? Stupid oafs …

again and I knew Liam could smell it too , I glanced at him and he was frowning , his hands shoved into the pockets of his leather jacket
