10. Trying My Best
Damon
I said it, the reason behind the guilt that had been fucking consuming me since she returned... I needed to tell her anyway.
Her porcelain doll-like face stayed in its perfect mask, yet I could feel her pain, hear her racing heart and see the way her fingers trembled ever so slightly on that donut.
Her eyes, which were so fucking unique and perfect, looked at me, but there was no hatred there.
Dammit I fucking hurt her… I'm fucking sorry, Raven.
"Raven?" I whispered closing the gap between us, but she suddenly snapped out of it, despite her erratic heartbeat.
"Thanks for telling me. Do you have anything else to say?" She asked with a blank face.
I frowned, slightly concerned. Shit, I didn’t know what to say… Fuck it.
I stepped closer, pulling her tightly into my arms. I didn’t care if the donut went everywhere, I just needed to tell her I'm fucking sorry. Her fresh floral scent and the beating of her heart soothed

RAVEN Shit, I was running late! Last night I hadn’t been able to sleep properly and I was paying for it now! I ran down the stairs three at a time, jumping down the final six and was about to rush to the door when Dad stepped out of the living room. "This is a house and I would appreciate you treating it like one." He said curtly. "I'm getting late, sorry!" I said hurrying to the kitchen and going to the fridge to grab a water bottle. I was about to reach for one when Dad snapped the fridge shut, missing my fingers by inches. I moved back, my heart skipping a beat as I looked at Dad, who was staring at me with a cold glare on his face. I glanced at Mom who turned her back on me and busied herself with making breakfast. "This is my house and as long as you are living under my roof, you will obey my rules and that includes letting boys into your room." "Ok." I didn’t have time for this, I needed to ask Liam or Uncle El wh

RAVEN I wasn’t expecting that. No matter if she did know, I still wasn’t expecting her to apologise to me. More than that, did that mean Damon had told her? "I just want you to know we have ended things." She said twisting one of the several delicate rings she wore on her fingers. I didn’t know what to say, our situation as a whole, was a mess. "I don’t know why you two aren’t together, but he is a really selfless, caring person. He’ll treat you great." She smiled. Come on, I was the queen of fake smiles and I could see right through hers. She was in pain thanks to that dimwit and here she was telling me that Damon was good enough for me. I felt sad for her. I know the mate bond played a part for me, but I also know that love without the bond existed. It was what I had felt for Liam for years. I was scared he’d find his mate. "One bird to another, men are idiots." I said with a crooked smile. She frowned for a second befo

RAVEN Liam had told Taylor and me to return to the party whilst he and Zack dealt with the body. Damon had gone off to see if there were any traces or anything left behind. Although we returned to the lively party with upbeat songs playing, I still felt glum. ‘So... You know about Zack and I.’ Taylor said through the link as he passed me a beer bottle. I looked at him and nodded. ‘Why haven’t you gone public or accepted the bond?’ I asked, unable to resist. Taylor looked pained; his eyes were fixed on a spot in the distance. ‘Zack doesn’t want anyone to know yet, he said he needs time.’ Well, even I was surprised that they were mates, but now that I knew, I could just see how perfect they could be. I stepped up to Taylor and hugged him tightly. ‘I'm here if you need to talk. I know you have a lot going on, yet you’re still smiling.’ ‘Isn’t that what you do to?’ He asked softly, looking down at me, concer
Caged Between The Beta & Alpha 14. Always Been You
RAVEN Brother? I couldn’t focus on Dad. I was confused, what brother? "…useless, unwanted... Just leave, I don’t want to see you here…" I looked at Mom, who looked upset but I didn’t know what to make of it. "What brother?" I asked. "Like you need to know." Dad spat. So, he wasn’t going to discuss it, fine. "Ok… Don’t tell me. I'm out." I said, grabbing the first of my two suitcases and carrying them out. Dad picked up the next two and tossed them out. I heard something break, and with it, it felt like something inside of me was breaking. Mom just stood there whilst Dad was just raging with anger. "I never knew I had a brother… and clearly you guys don’t want to tell me so fine. But I do want to say one thing before I go… You said you lost your son because of me… I'm sorry for that, even though I have no idea what I have done, but I hope you do realise you are also losing the only child you do ha

RAVEN My heart pounded as I stared up at him, his words ringing in my ears. Liam loved me… Yes, although I had a connection with both him and Damon even before the bond, I had loved Liam for far longer... Until Damon’s father had passed away. Then I began to spend that time with Damon and I realised he too was special. But now that the bond was there, I needed to do this the right way... Even if Damon had been able to move on in my absence, I wasn’t him, I needed to discuss stuff first… It stung painfully. "Liam... Can I ask you something?" I asked, pulling out of his hold. He didn’t reply, but I knew I had his attention. "In the three years, we were apart... Have you…I mean, I know we weren’t together, but was there anyone?" I asked quietly. I don’t know why I asked, the fear that he may have, would crush me. I needed something, some sign that at least someone wanted me. My parents clearly regretted having me, my mates didn’t

LIAM Seriously? “Don’t look at me like that, is there a problem?” Mom asked, cocking a brow. I swear she had that attitude of a feisty lioness and if you get on her bad side… “No, I just thought it’s a fucking family day?” “Yeah family, and they are our family.” Mom said, for a moment she looked concerned. “Liam… talk to me.” “Isn’t that what I'm doing?” I asked glancing out the kitchen window, where dad was pushing Azura on the swing. It fucking hurt seeing him so much quieter, losing Uncle Raf really did fucking do a number on him. “You know what I mean.” Mom said shoving an electric whisk into my hand and a bowl full of powder and milk. “Yeah, well time changes people.” “Yes, but you never said what happened.” She said as she began slicing the puff pastry before she began spooning in the tuna and cheese filling. Mom was an incredible cook, her and Kiara both were… “Nothing happened.” I
Caged Between The Beta & Alpha 17. Feeling Lesser
DAMON The tension that had built vanished the moment Azura spoke, replaced by shock. Everyone had frozen, Aunty Red’s cheeks burned, a rare sight actually, but Uncle El simply smirked. A small giggle from Raven made me glance at her. Although her cheeks were flushed, she was finding this amusing. "Yeah, it doesn’t work like that." Uncle El said pointedly to a very confused Azura. "And you two need to be careful, there’s a kid in the damn house." Liam muttered. "I’ll remind you of that when your time comes." Aunty Red shot back. That made Liam tense and Raven’s heart skip a beat. ‘I mean it, I want you both to sort your shit out. This pack needs their leadership united.’ His voice came through the link. I knew we both could hear him. ‘Understood.’ I said, making sure Liam could hear too. I wanted to sort this shit out, I really fucking did. I glanced at Raven. She looked hot. There was something a

RAVEN "Kia!" I exclaimed, running over to her. She rushed forward and we both hugged each other tightly. "We weren’t expecting you." Liam said, lifting Dante up. "It’s a surprise." He said, as if this wasn’t obvious. I smiled, oh goddess that kid was cute. Al shook hands with Liam whilst giving Damon a curt nod. I had video called Al after his brother had passed away, but I didn’t go, knowing they needed time with both their own families. I didn’t want to go and make Liam stay away. I bent over looking at the two adorable dumplings that I just wanted to gobble up completely. They were soo cute! "Kia you make cute babies! Ah, they are even cuter than the last time I saw them." "Hun, I sent you a picture of them just two days ago." Kiara said, hugging Liam tightly. "Hmm nope, still cuter than ever." I whispered, caressing Skyla’s cheek. "Alpha Alejandro, Kia." Damon said. "Hey, Damon." Kiar
