Caged Between the beta & alpha

Chapter 25

RAVEN
I had told Zack the plan and filled Damon in yesterday. We were going to do this at 11 pm tonight. However, I was feeling extremely confused. There were so many things that were eating me up inside, from the pain I felt in my chest when I remembered Damon’s pictures, to the way Liam had treated m e.
When I had gone to bid Kia farewell, the way Aunty Red had remarked that I had just missed Liam was almost as if she suspected something was up. Yet I just remained smooth and blew it off.
I was adjusting my dark pink ribbed top when there was a knock on the door.
Who was that?
I walked over to it, pulling it open. My smile vanished the moment I saw Liam standing there. Like always, he looked like a Greek god; in grey pants and a black and white graphic tee that stuck to his body like it was painted on, along with black boots. Why did he look so damn good? He had his hands in his pockets. His intense cerulean eyes trailed over me slowly, I suddenly felt very self-conscious about my fitted clingy top, with a V neck that I knew showed off a hint of cleavage, and m y black fitted jeggings. I saw his eyes darken with desire,
lingering on my neck before they slowly met mine.
My heart thundered and I clenched my jaw trying not to fall for the hold he had upon me, if he thought I was going to let him do that again then he was in for a reality wake up call. Last time he took me by surprise, but not this time.
“Can I help you?” I asked. I won’t lie, it hurt remembering what he did yesterday… I hadn’t been able to sleep properly last night thanks to that and the damn photos.
For a moment, I wondered if he had sent me them? But I pushed the thought away. It wasn’t something Liam would do.
“Can we talk?” Came his sexy husky voice.
“Isn’t that what we are doing?” I asked, raising an eyebrow, trying to act like he had no effect on me.
He clenched his jaw, looking away and frowning.
I tried not to let his scent, or his very appearance, get to me.

“What I did yesterday… I’m sorry, I lost control and I know I fucking shouldn’t have done what I did. It was a dick move.” H e said quietly.
I looked up at him. Really blue eyes? Do you realise that now?
“It was, but you are literally making a lot of dick moves. Liam, I get…” I glanced down the hallway.
After those images, I didn’t trust anyone who may be listening … I jerked my head towards my room, brushing back my bangs
that fell in my eyes. Stepping back, I allowed him in. Shutting the door, I looked up at him.
Once again, I wondered who had sent those pictures. It couldn’t be Robyn either, as she was in the pictures…
“You were saying?” His husky voice brought me back to the present.
“I get that you care for me, but you can’t go around doing things you’re going to regret later. Liam, do you know Damon i s worried about you? He’s trying to be the patient one for you. Don’t you get it? You are the one.”
“Tell me, Raven, if say the roles were reversed… and not you but your mate was mated to another, would you have accepted
it?”
The image of Robyn and Damon together made my heart ache, but… if it meant his happiness, yes, I could accept it.
I looked up at Liam and smiled sadly.
“Yeah, it would hurt, but I’d understand because I wouldn’t want to hurt him.” I whispered.
I had been through so much pain in life, and it seemed Selene wasn’t done.
“We are going in fucking circles.” He muttered, shaking his head. “Maybe you can accept it, but I won’t.”
He reached over, running his fingers through my hair, making my heart thunder. I moved back, only for his eyes to flash a magnetic blue as he backed me against the wall.

those words. You are mine.” He added dangerously, his finger running over my lips, making my heart thud violently. My stomach was fluttering with nerves and when he placed his other hand on the wall, that sexy smirk crossing his face. I knew if I let him continue, he’d make me forget everything. “I am yours, Liam… but I’m also someone else’s… Can we not just be happy?” I asked, taking hold of his wrist, slowly tugging his hand away from my lips and holding it to my chest. My heart was pounding loudly and I knew he could hear it. I could tell he was getting irritated again. I took a deep breath, raising his

  • That seemed to work, his eyes softened and for the first time I saw the storm of pain in those bright, dazzling blue orbs of his, but it was gone in seconds, his walls raised once again. It had been enough, enough to show he was struggling…

embarrassment that hit me at those words made me forget everything. Don’t go there! Oh my god! My dream was bad enough! “Did you need to mention that?!” I hissed,
