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 his eyes and stepping

, feeling the darkness surge

” Hey , hey

, gripping his

” I’m ok .

, looking up at me , his eyes darkening

, kissing him deeply until I felt

hard in

” I whispered .

The door suddenly opened and we both turned , moving apart to see Azura standing there in a fluffy unicorn onesie with her hood up , holding a large unicorn plushie

nodded , despite the fact that it looked like he was pouting , Aunty Red raised

‘ Perfect .

His reply came and I

I couldn’t wait .

Liam would have to give me up …

ended things so how did that work ? Something didnt feel right about it

What if that was the answer ? It was finally the day of Uncle El’s forty fifth birthday , and there

p , but to my relief , there had been no more killings

just being too paranoid and it

I didn’t believe

Liam , he was losing control ,

himself to keep himself weak –

, watching him stab the dagger into

the party when it had flared up

and I bit my lip watching him yank the knife from his already bandaged

You’re killing

” I’m fine .

He said

and I could see the constant pain he was in , well obviously when he kept stabbing himself to

his teal shirt , and I began wrapping

You look beautiful

He said

at him , fighting

admiration in his eyes as he looked me over , trying his best to act normal when I was breaking at the pain
