Caged Between the beta & alpha

What Robyn said was so damn true and I knew I needed to do this, I needed to talk to Damgo.

I couldn’t keep hurting him like this.

I won’t wait any longer, I’m going to go and I’m going to talk to him right now.

I can’t carry on doing this…
I was now back in my room, pacing restlessly.

I decided to mind link Damon and ask if I could come to see him.

I took a deep breath, my fists clenched.

My heart was racing against my ribcage, painfully fast.
‘Damon?’
‘Hey, everything ok?’
‘Can’t I link you if there’s not a reason?’ I asked, feeling guilty, thinking I didn’t mind link him as often.

No wonder he thought that.
‘Course you can.’ But we both knew the truth.
‘Well, I wanted to meet up with you, like to actually talk.

Can I come around?’ I had to try my best to sound normal.
‘Sure, me and Zack are actually dealing with a potential clue, but as soon as it’s done, I can let you know?’
‘Perfect thanks…’ I said, the guilt of what I was about to do eating up at me inside.
‘Take care, gorgeous.’ His soft, deep voice came.

I closed my eyes.
Not gorgeous, fucking evil and cruel.

I sank onto my bed, wrapping my arms around my legs and resting my chin on top of my knees.

Sadness washed over me and the urge to wallow in self -pity threatened to overcome me, but before I could, Liam’s voice came through the link.
‘Bitesize?’
‘Hey.’ I said softly
Are you ok?’ Concern was clear in his voice.
‘Of course I am.
‘You don’t sound it…
Ever the intuitive one.
‘I am, so why did you mind link?” I asked brightly.
‘Two hours from now, I want you to meet me at the edge of the woods, by the park.’
“Ok… ‘I said, wondering why.

I needed to talk to Darnon too.

‘Is it important? I had something I needed to do today.’
‘Yes, it is.

Can you reschedule?’
I couldn’t deny him.
Ok, see you then.’ I said, giving in.
I guess I could talk to Damon after meeting Liam if he’s not done before then.

If he was done b y then, that is
I decided to clean up my room a little, thinking about Mom… She was gone, would she be reunited with Renji? How was Dad coping? His trial was in the morning too.

I was not looking forward to it at all, but I knew I had to do it.

I decided to change into something a little more appealing Going through my wardrobe, I pulled out a matte PU leather shirt,

I walked through the pack grounds, the crunch of the gravel beneath

I smiled gently. The old Liam was in there… “So, will you not tell me where you’re taking me?” “Patience Love.” He

realised he had brought me to Grandma Amelia’s cottage. “We‘re going in here?” I asked. He reached into his pocket, I couldn’t help but stare at the front of his jeans, looking away quickly before he spotted

my tracks at the warm, welcoming scene before me. The glow of the lights and the smell of freshly baked
