Caged Between the beta & alpha

Raven didn’t say a word .

Her anger and pain were clear in her eyes .

She had clenched her fists and stormed out .

I had called after her , but she simply shook her head not saying anything .

Even when I had pulled her into my arms and apologised , she simply stayed stiff , a single tear escaping her eye .

That hurt … but it was the truth , I was fucking scared .

We had walked to the packhouse in silence but I held her hand tightly .

‘ Raven ..

‘ She didn’t reply , simply holding my hand tighter .

The hall was decorated in a rustic theme .

The wooden tables were bare , with just a black runner down the middle .

There were bottles of whiskey , ice and drinks lining the table .

It’s definitely not a party for kids in here … The double doors that led to the garden were wide open .

The garden was decorated as well , and I could hear the music was louder out there .

” So , food’s in here , dancing and drinking are outside .

”

Taylor said , walking over , a bottle in hand and Zack by his side .

” Easy on the drinks , we just got here .

” Zack said , looking down at him with love clear in his eyes , despite the arrogant look on his face .

” Don’t worry , I’ll be fine .

Damn girl , you look good .

” Taylor said , smiling at Raven a s she slowly let go of my hand and he hugged her tight .

” You ok ? ” I watched them , seeing the concern in Taylor’s eyes for her .

Even when she gave that dazzling smile and nodded , I knew she wasn’t … ” Hey , guys … ” Damon said , coming over .

H e was dressed similarly to me in black pants with a button – down shirt .

” Hi .

” I said , as he turned to Raven .

” Hey ! ” She said , giving him a smile before hugging him .

I watched them as he hugged her back and looked away , giving them a moment .

The sacrifice they made for me isn’t something I’d forget and as much as I wanted to keep her in my arms , I couldn’t be more selfish with her than I already have been .

” Perfect .
