Caged Between the beta & alpha

Chapter 78

 

Raven’s father was committed , and although I knew the Alpha had set his punishment , I still wanted to tell Liam about it .

I’m angry at him .

So fucking mad at what he did .

But past his split personality , there was that part of him that I knew .

I wouldn’t be able to forgive him easily … If ever .

I don’t know if I could ever call him a friend again either .

Looking back , I think that ended a few years ago .

I was maybe just stuck in a fucking illusion that things would work out … It did fucking hurt … but life was shit like that .

I entered the cells and unlocking the door , entered his cell .

He was sitting there , his eyes closed , his hair that he always had gelled and styled was lying messily over his forehead .

His eyes opened and met mine , they looked … broken .

I knew he’d feel it , but maybe this is the punch he needs to realise that he can be in fucking control .

He needs to take control o f his own shit .

Neither of us spoke for a while , and Liam looked away first .

” What do you want ?

” He asked quietly .

” Raven’s father was trialled today , he’s been given one hundred and fifty silver lashes .

He’ll then be placed under house arrest and stripped of any rank or status h e had .

I thought , despite everything , you might want to know …

” I said , clenching m y jaw .

” Thanks … ” He replied .

Gone was the cold arrogance that had surrounded him since his return .

All I saw was his emptiness .

” Who will deliver the punishment ?” He asked quietly .

” I thought I’d ask Alpha Elijah if I could .

” I said .

He nodded , with the tiniest of smiles that didn’t reach his eyes crossing his lips .

” Will you also deliver mine ? ” He asked , looking up at me .

An emotion in his eyes that I couldn’t read unnerved me .

My heart thumped and I stepped back , narrowing my eyes .

” What ?

” ” My trial is in two days , I don’t want Dad t o suffer .

What I did … I’ve caused him even more pain … My punishment won’t be small , and it shouldn’t be … but I don’t want Dad to do it .

You can tell her it was m y wish that you do it .

” ” Don’t want me to look like the bad guy ? ” I asked , unable to hide the bitterness from my voice .

 

” He ” No , because you’re all she has now … ‘ said .

” What I did deserves capital punishment and I expect no less , so … be there for her .

” I sighed heavily .

He wasn’t making it easier to hate him .

” I never wanted you to step aside , I was willing to make it work , all three of us .

Raven is loving , she would have been able to treat us both well .

“

 

” That won’t happen because I always believed that it’s one to one , there’s no space for a third .
