Caged Between the beta & alpha

It was a few days since everything had gone down . Me and Liam were in Nina’s room , that had been cleared out . We hadn’t found anything more from her room , which was so damn clean you could smell it . The room had been emptied , giving her stuff to her grandmother if she wanted them . She refused and said to get rid of them , although I knew that was more her respect towards the pack because she was devastated at her granddaughter’s truth and death .

To think she was living here with so much hatred in her life … I walked over to the window . It looked out towards the training grounds , and I wondered how much time she spent here watching us , or Liam . Even in such a place , behind such an innocent mask , there was a killer , burning from within with hatred and vengeance …

There are all types of masks that those around us wear ; masked by our fake smiles and passive expressions , the lies hidden inside , the pain we hide to pretend we are normal … the jealousy , the bitterness , the sadness … We all wear them … I did too . Lately though , I’ve talked about how I felt . Maybe it took Liam marking Raven to make me snap , but it worked . It had been a turning point that perhaps I needed , I just wished it hadn’t been something so horrible as that to finally make me step up.

Liam crouched down by the skirting board and I glanced over at him . ” What is it ? ” He stood up again , holding a small photograph . ” Who would have thought that piece of scum had a child . ” ” I know … ” I said , glancing at the picture for a moment . ” If only she actually asked someone the truth , rather than just wrap herself up in lies and her assumptions . ” I’ve assumed stuff , so I can see it happening . ” He said , sighing as he opened his hand , his aura surging around it .

I watched in shock as the photograph began to shrivel up as if it was burned by the blue flame – like aura . ” Whoa … ” He gave me a small smile . ” I guess I have some similarities to Kiara .  ” How did you hone it on just your hand .. He shrugged , dropping the burned paper t o the ground . ” I’ve always been more in control than Kia , besides , she carries the Asheton power whilst I think I’m definitely more Deimos . ” ” You are the Deimos prince .

my arms . O ” I don’t like that title ; I think I’ve used titles enough to last me a fucking lifetime . ” He said , sighing as he crushed the remnants of the picture beneath his boot . ” You are an incredible Beta Damon … One who has stepped up to the

into the trees . It was nice to see the children playing around the pack again . ” Is this like a surprise set up in the middle of a forest , where you are going to confess your undying love ? ” I joked . ” Not exactly . ”

” Definitely not . ” He replied as we walked through the trees , not stopping for a good ten minutes until he suddenly slowed down . I raised an eyebrow , looking around , we were on pack grounds that

, looking around . This location was big , but I’m sure our current location was larger . Why would h e move this way ? He chuckled

quietly , my eyes snapped up to his . His words resonated in my head and I was shocked to see the glitter of emotions in his eyes . My heart raced as I stared at him . There was no guilt in his eyes , simply sadness and sincerity . ” I wish I could keep being selfish and keep you by my side forever , to have you a s my Beta , but you are worth far more … and the pack’s growing too large . To start with

one Alpha and so I thought who more fitting than you … You have always been loyal to me , come whatever , but I don’t want you bound by my side when you are worth so much more … So … this is going to be our sub pack . We will break the

mind . I looked at Liam , who was watching me with a small smile on his face . I knew he probably knew it was hard for me to see them together , but I also knew he was doing this for me and not to get rid of me .

But was one woman enough to destroy it all ? I knew

maybe this way the packhouse rooms can have their own bathrooms . Do you know there’s one pack member who has anonymously left a long essay explaining why the packhouse needed renovating … Damn it was long … ” ” Robyn , guaranteed , only she would take the
