Caged Between the beta & alpha

I had been discharged from the hospital the following day , thanks to Kia and Rayhan’s Kitty .

I still remember the look in Kiara’s eyes … The moment she told me that I should have told her what I was going through .

The tears … The promises that we really won’t hide anything any longer .

Something I knew both of us would honour .

I hated seeing her feel like a disappointment when it was my own doing that I hid it all from them ,

when I had so many chances to tell them .

She had spent the night with Liam , I could smell his scent from her when she had come to see me in the morning .

I wasn’t able to ask her how he was , I didn’t know what to think .

She had spent the day with me , it frustrated me that because of me she was being torn like this , between me and him , but she had nothing but love and concern for me .

Her parting words still rang in my head , them , it still hurt .

and despite the fact that I knew she meant ‘ I will always be here for you , hun , no matter what you decide , do or want .

I will be by your side , ok ?

” Damon had brought me to his house , although I had no idea what we were , remembering exactly what we were going to do before Liam had arrived .

I was just glad things were still good between us and I knew that would always remain .

Damon didn’t leave my side ; only for short moments to shower , check up on his mother , or if he had to do something , but for the most part he stayed by my side .

Aunty Red and Uncle El had visited me .

I could see the pain in Aunty Red’s eyes as she had stared at my mark ; the guilt and anguish that she was trying to hide , the beating of her heart , the way she hugged me tightly .

Her whispered apology that she didn’t give me the chance to refute .

She had asked if I wanted to go to theirs , but … I refused .

I couldn’t go there .

It hit me hard , knowing Liam had renounced his Alpha title , and that he was in the cells .

I could feel the pain Liam was going through , through the bond .

A bond that had become so strong that I felt restless .

I could feel his regret , his agony and his hopelessness .

It hurt … I was now on Damon’s sofa , a blanket over me and a mug of hot chocolate in my hands .

” Delsanra didn’t find anything .

” Damon said as he sat down on the edge of the sofa .
