Caged Between the beta & alpha

The entire journey home , Liam had been quiet .

His hand never left mine , but the storm inside of him , well , I could feel it .

M y heart hurt for him , I just … wanted us to b e happy .

I still believed we’d be ok , we’d b e able to do this , but it still terrified me .

” How are you feeling ? ” Aunty Red asked me .

It was night and we had just had dinner at the Alpha’s home .

I mean , I’d call it a small mansion really … the kitchen was huge yet cosy .

I had insisted on helping clean up .

” I’m ok , ” I said , smiling and flashing her a peace sign .

” Thank you for everything .

” ” Anytime .

” She replied with a smile .

” Heat is a bitch .

” I laughed .

” Oh , it definitely is .

” I agreed .

” Aunty … I know what Liam did brought back painful memories , but he really regrets it … ” She smiled sadly at me and came over , flicking my forehead lightly .

” Are you trying to speak in his defence ? ” She asked , amused .

” Maybe ? ” I said sheepishly .

” He made a mistake ,

but there were factors and he’s still working on redeeming himself .

I love him and I don’t want you to be upset with him .

” Did I sound too bossy ? I hope not … But she just smirked slightly .

” I’m glad you both finally got there … I swear it took you long enough ! ” She teased .

” Don’t worry , I’m ok and I know he’ll be ok too .

You better head to bed , it’s late .

” I nodded , dashed out of the kitchen and u p the steps I’d climbed countless times throughout my childhood ….

However , unlike back then , I didn’t stop at Kia’s room ; I walked right past to my mate’s room .

I opened it and saw him towel drying his hair .

He was shirtless and I almost drooled at how delicious he looked .

Water trickled down that muscular chest of his , down his chiselled abs and into the band of his sweatpants that hung low on his hips , showing off his perfectly groomed V ….

” Hey .

” I said , my stomach fluttering as I shut the door behind me .

” Hey … ” He said , tossing the towel into the washing hamper .

My core ached and I knew , deep down , I wanted him completely .

I had told him earlier that I just hoped he would lead the way now …

He pulled me closer , his hands closing around my waist .

I was thinking … once I’m caught up with the work around- ” He grimaced , closing

the darkness surge around

” 1 ” Hey , hey ,

, gripping his face

” I’m ok .

, looking up at me , his eyes darkening to a deep navy but

lips against his , kissing him deeply until I felt him calm

going to get through

” I whispered .

… The door suddenly opened and we both turned , moving apart to see Azura standing there in a fluffy unicorn onesie

sleepover ?! ” ” Umm , yes , I am

Then why I not invited ? ” She asked unhappily

, what have I told you

Red’s voice came

Azura stated

” ” Let her ,

, who raised an eyebrow ,

We can all sleep here , right Wiyam

looked like he was pouting , Aunty Red raised her own

” I looked at Azura , who was staring at me with those

to fall should

, I’m sure ! ” I said , bending down I held my arms open to her and she

” ” Great … ” ” Liam said as Aunty

we spent the night , Liam’s arm under my head , my back to his chest , and me

Oh wow ,

I said , listening

, and then

She carried on

, what were you saying earlier ? ” I asked Liam through the link , very aware of his body heat behind me , and his hand that rested

I bit my lip the moment his lips touched m y neck , his scent making my mind

have some stuff I need to catch up on ,

.

Have a small getaway ? ‘ He asked , his voice husky

I would have pushed him onto his

I like the idea

said , sounding breathless

‘ Perfect .

His reply came and I

I couldn’t wait .

sudden thought came back to me

Liam would have to give me up … Was that the answer

didnt make sense , Damon and I had ended things so how did that work ? Something didnt feel right

act from himself … What if that was the answer ? It was finally the day of Uncle El’s forty fifth birthday , and there was going to be a party in the

sign of Owen waking u p , but to my relief , there had been no more

just being too paranoid and it was

Liam , he was losing control , and it broke

I whimpered , watching him stab the dagger into his

party when it

his bedroom , and I bit my lip watching him yank the knife from his already bandaged abdomen , the blood spreading on the white bandages

You’re killing

I whispered , cupping his face and

” I’m fine .

said hoarsely

few days and I could see the constant pain he was in , well obviously when

healing sealed away , he
