Caged Between the beta & alpha

LIAM

I tried to tell myself that he was just holding her hand out of concern , that he was her friend too … But I couldn’t deny the irritation that was flaring up inside of me … That anger threatening to lash out .

I tried to focus on Raven , letting the tingles that coursed through me at our touch calm me .

” You deserve this ? ” He repeated , frowning .

Yeah , so , the three notes … The first said ; ‘ Who’s next ? ‘ The second ; ‘ Two down , I wonder how many more to go ? ‘ And now this .

There’s nothing really in them .

” I said , pausing .

” You deserved this , is probably the most to go on . 

” True , but who do they mean ? Her mom ? Raven ? Do they have an issue with Raven ? Damon mused .

”  I frowned , clenching my jaw .

” These murders started when Raven came back to town …

There may be a connection there .

” I said , suddenly thinking he had a point .

Damon looked surprised at that , before becoming thoughtful .

” Good point .

Do you think we should track down those who would have issues with Raven , I mean , her dad wouldn’t kill his mate and he’s in the cells , so he’s ruled out as the killer .

” Hmm , yeah , I think we need to list anyone who : may have any sort of link to Raven .

” I said quietly , just as the door opened and Dad stepped in .

He glanced at us , I didn’t miss the way his gaze flickered to both Damon and I holding Raven’s hands .

I swear if we weren’t fucking mated no one would have ever even thought anything of us holding her hand .

So fucking annoying .

” I think you need to make a list a lot broader than that .

” Dad said , checking the machine that Raven was hooked up to before frowning and sitting at the edge of the bed .

She was so tiny , there was a good gap from the bottom and her feet .

” What do you mean ? We’re thinking of may have anything against her .

” Damon said .

But I think I understood what Dad meant .

” You mean , people who may have issues against Damon and I … her parents … anyone who is somehow even linked to Raven , an indirect grudge , right ?

” I said sharply .

Dad smirked humourlessly and nodded .

” Yeah , exactly .

” He said , ” You two boys look exhausted .

Head to bed , I’ll stay with her .

” No thanks .

” I said coldly .

” If it was Mom , you wouldn’t have left .

” He sighed , once again I had to try to fucking calm down .

” No , I wouldn’t have , but you look a fucking mess . 

” Don’t really care , you two can leave , I’m staying .

” I said icily .

I could feel my anger flaring up and that bitterness towards everything beginning t o flare inside .

” Let’s go uncle .
