Caged Between the beta & alpha

I had just opened the kitchen window when the sound of a vicious growl ripped through the air , making my heart thunder , seeing the flock of birds erupt from the trees and the unease that seemed to swirl around me .

It took me a split second to recognise the voice that was barely recognisable .

Liam .

That was Liam ! I rushed out of the house , telling the guards to watch Azura and Monica as I raced in the direction of the commotion , faltering when the sound of Raven’s scream pierced the air .

No.

Goddess no ! What has he done ?! ” Elijah , it’s Liam and Raven ! ‘ I called through the link to Elijah .

‘ I’m on my way .

‘ His soothing voice came despite the worry that was consuming me .

‘ Raven ! Liam ?! ‘

Nothing .

I was hitting a wall .

Fuck ! The wind was rushing through my hair as I broke through the trees , the smell of blood seeping into my nose .

The sheer blanket of something dark and evil that hung in the air made my blood run cold .

I took in the horrifying scene before me , Damon was holding Raven , who was bleeding profusely , her heart beating far too fast as she choked on the blood that was pouring out of her neck and mouth .

She was grasping at her neck , blood running down her fingers , making my stomach churn sickeningly .

Worry and fear for her whirled around me , my heart beating fast .

My eyes snapped to Liam , who was advancing on Damon as he was placing Raven down .

That darkness … It was him , it was coming from him .

His normal aura was completely gone … Replaced by this horrible , sinister darkness … ” HOW COULD YOU ?! ” Damon shouted , sounding angrier than I had ever heard him .

He blocked Liam , who had just lunged at him , his canines out and anger clear on his face .

Damon jumped to his feet , meeting him mid – strike .

It was clear both were ready to rip each other to pieces , I was about to intervene when Damon’s next words made me freeze .

” YOU MARKED HER ! ” Reality came crashing down on me as the realisation settled in ..

Her neck … Her neck ….

Fear washed over me like a bucket of ice cold knives , piercing into every inch of my body .

Marked .

Fuck ….

Memories from long ago flashed to the forefront of my mind , the pain with them making it hard to breathe .

History cannot repeat itself .

” No … NO ! ” I cried , staring at the blond male before me … His blond hair was matted with blood … So similar to his …

I walked towards them , willing every fibre of my shaking body to move .

Just as Elijah ran past me , a menacing growl ripped from his lips .
