Caged Between the beta & alpha

Not Taking A No LIAM It was later in the evening , and I had worked with Damon before returning home to dad’s place .

I still needed to talk t o him , and I would do it soon .

I mind linked Raven asking her if she wanted to come over , and she had sounded pretty flustered , although she had replied that she was obviously going to come and to leave the window open for her .

typical Raven .

I was glad she was coming , because I needed it .

Throughout the day I felt myself on the brink of losing control , and the amount of wolfsbane I had injected in myself was enough to kill .

But I was fine .

The moment that darkness grew , it was as if I was suddenly immune to it : I had just showered , I had just grabbed a towel when I felt the flare of darkness grow inside of me .

Focus … There was nothing that triggered me , but the urge it had to release itself and wreak havoc made it fucking hard to control .

Let it all out and this struggle will stop .

Don’t fight it … I pushed the thoughts away , remembering what I had done the last time I had let it out .

Raven .

Think of Raven … I almost killed her .

It wasn’t working , I felt my anger flare , m y claws coming out , and I plunged it into my chest trying to contain this , digging m y hand into my chest , letting the pain override the darkness .

I was not going to let it out … focus … focus *** Destroy it all … Let it go … I groaned , falling to my knees , I needed to shift … I needed ” Liam ! ” The door flew open and Raven’s scent filled my senses as she fell to her knees next to me , her hand going to my shoulder .

” Liam , breath .

” I growled lowly .

” Baby move … “

Her hand wrapped around my wrist , firmly removing my claws from my chest .

” I’m not leaving you , Liam .

” Her voice was firm yet soft , and her touch seemed t o fight the storm growing inside of me .

” Can I hold you .

” I whispered , finally looking up at her as I fought against it .

” Forever .

” She replied , wrapping her arms around my neck .

Her lips met my neck , placing soft kisses that sent delicious sparks through me .

I pulled her close , sitting back against the counter , wrapping my arms around her tiny body tightly , feeling the darkness fading away .

Her lips never left my neck or shoulder , kissing me sensually until I was finally myself .

She slowly pulled away , staring at my bloody chest .

Pain flashed in her eyes as she touched the raven tattoo that was over my heart .

” Don’t hurt yourself , baby .

” She whispered , cupping my face as she knelt between my legs .

” I was trying to pull it back , I’m ok .

” I said , running my hand through her hair .

” I’m proud of you .

” She whispered , cupping my face .

Our eyes met , and I saw the concern and pain in her eyes .

” I’m fucking losing it , Raven .

” I said quietly .

A part of me was telling me not to burden her with my fears , but another part of me needed to share the fear inside of me and with who else but my mate ? ” I’ve hurt you , mom , dad … Damon , I don’t recognise the person I’ve become anymore .

” I said , running my fingers through my wet locks .

And I hated it .

She tugged my face up , staring into my eyes , and shook her head .

” You have got this , Liam you want to fight this .

Just think , a month ago you were like whatever I don’t care if I die .

” She said , softly kissing my lips .
