35. Hope & Determination
RAVEN
I pushed open the low white fence that surrounded the graveyard. Not all children were buried here, as some would be buried with their parents, but there were still many graves. It was strange to know that I had a brother that I had never gotten to meet.
I looked down at the grass that was sprinkled with daisies and buttercups. Scattered between the small graves were several cherry blossoms. I walked through the graves, scanning the names for my brothers, stopping when I saw a young woman bending over, placing an orchid on each grave.
She turned, sensing me watching her, and gave me a small smile. It took me a moment to realise she was the Omega who I had seen in the kitchen the other night.
"Sorry…" She said, stepping away from the grave.
I waved my hand.
"Oh, don’t apologise! I'm just searching for a grave…" I said, giving her a small smile.
"Whose?" She asked. "I might know, I visit often."
"Oh… Renji Jacobs."<

Caged Between The Beta & Alpha 36. Sounds
RAVEN Damon and I quickly rushed downstairs, not wanting to disturb Aunty M with Dad’s shouting. I pulled open the front door to see Dad standing there, his eyes blazing as he glared at me with such hatred that my heart skipped a beat. "Who told you about him?" He hissed, advancing towards me. I stepped back, flinching, a vague memory of long ago flitting through my head. Dad had never hit me, had he? Subconsciously, something didn’t feel right. He stopped a few feet away, holding out Sparks. "I SAID WHO TOLD YOU!" He thundered. "What the… Calm down." Damon said warningly. Placing his hand on my back comfortingly. "I’m talking to her." Dad hissed back, shaking Sparks in front of me. My breath hitched, my chest aching as I stared at Sparks, a plushie that meant a lot to me. I had made him when I was a child, all by myself, with needle and thread. I had pricked myself a hundred times that day, but
Caged Between The Beta & Alpha 37. His Ugly Reality
DAMON"Let go of me, Nicholson!" Raven’s dad hissed.Yeah, I don’t think so. Not when he gave shit like that to Raven. I had mind linked Liam, who told me to bring him in, he fucking needed this.Entering the headquarters, I dragged the growling and shouting Haru Jacob’s to the room Liam was waiting at. I don’t think addressing him as Mr Jacobs feels right anymore, especially after all the shit he’s clearly given Raven."If I were you, I’d stay quiet. I'm sure your reputation matters, and if you continue like this, the entire pack will know you’re here." I growled icily, pushing open the door.Liam was sitting on one of the two chairs, his legs up on the table, crossed at the ankles, playing with a small knife in his hand.He looked at us, his glare on Raven’s dad with a glint in his cold blue eyes."Nice of you to drop by, do take a seat." He said with a cold mocking smirk."I wi

LIAM My eyes blazed as those words left his fucking mouth. I grabbed his hair, slamming his head into the table. How could she not have mentioned it? Fuck, didn’t she even think to tell us? Clearly, we weren’t real friends. But I can’t go fucking blame her for shit when I should have picked up the damn signs. "Have you hurt her physically?" I asked dangerously. "ANSWER ME!" "And if I have?" He spat. The anger that was blazing through me suddenly snapped inside of me, ravelling out of my control. All I could see was the darkness closing around us and Haru’s face; it twisted in contempt for my mate, looming before me. "Liam… don’t!" Someone was shouting, but it didn’t matter, all I wanted was to kill the man before me. Was that the smell of blood? Who was screaming? I felt a jarring pain in my back and I was slammed to the ground. Someone was trying to pin me down. I glared up at the man who was on
Caged Between The Beta & Alpha 39. A Realisation
RAVEN"Let’s have a look around just in case." Liam said quietly.The moment he took my mug off me all three of us stood up. Damon scanned the kitchen before looking at the back door."How did they even get in?" He murmured more to himself than us."The door was unlocked." I said, scanning the ground to see if there were any foot prints or anything."The door was definitely locked, I always check and hide the keys so Momma doesn’t wander out.""You check the kitchen, see if anything looks out of place. Although you are so fucking messy, I doubt you’ll even realise if anything is out of place." Liam remarked."I cleaned the kitchen today…" Damon almost sounded like he was complaining."Hard to believe." Liam replied, looking around the fairly clean kitchen. "I’ll take a look outside."It was almost like old times with their friendly banter. I just hoped that this could become permanent.
Caged Between The Beta & Alpha 40. For You
DAMON I left the house, mind linking Robyn to ask where she was. ‘At the packhouse, is everything ok Damon?’ She sounded worried and I felt a little bad, I had totally shut her out since Raven got back and I ended things. Yeah, what I did wasn’t right, but Robyn was the one who got hurt in this equation, along with Raven. "Yeah, all’s good, I just need to ask you something." I asked, breaking into a run. She had a key to our house. Back when she used to house sit and watch Mom, I gave her both the front and back door. I just needed to make sure she still had them, or ask if she had come around today, although I doubted that… "Ok." She sounded hesitant. I entered the packhouse, going straight up to Robyn’s room. I knocked on it lightly and she opened it pretty quickly. I guess she was watching out the window. "What is it?" She asked, crossing her arms. I didn’t miss the fact that she was wearing a fluffy gown ove

RAVENWe reached the packhouse and Liam was quiet, but I could tell he was mind-linking from the way he nodded once or twice. I had a pretty good idea that he was discussing security or something. We entered the packhouse and Liam went into the kitchen. I headed upstairs, wanting a shower and to actually just get a good night’s sleep.The lingering thought that time was running out for Liam niggled at the back of my mind. How did we break this damn curse? How would we know the curse was broken?We needed to do this ourselves, I would get to the bottom of this. The boys can work on finding the killer, and I will work on this.‘Damon?’ I called through the link.‘Yes, gorgeous?’‘Did you ask Robyn?’‘I did, she said you can show her since you’re at the packhouse, I don’t think she wants anything to do with me.’‘As much as I feel a little bad for you, I like
Caged Between The Beta & Alpha 42. Moments
LIAM I ran my eyes over her; dressed in that clingy black oversize nightshirt that slipped off one of her slender shoulders, draping over her perky round breasts, her sexy legs perfectly on display for me, making me fucking hard. Her gorgeous eyes staring at me, that slender nose and those plump pouty lips that were begging to be kissed… Fuck she was fucking beautiful. There was an innocence beyond that mischievous look of hers, one I was ready to destroy and show her exactly what she was missing out on. But I needed her to be ready for that… I walked towards her, waiting for her answer. "I'm waiting, darling." I murmured, taking hold of her chin. Her breath hitched, her lips parting slightly as she stared into my eyes. "If you want to." She said softly. I smirked. "Is that a yes?" I pushed seductively. "Yes." She poked her eyes out at me and I tugged her into my arms. "Good." I murmured. Leaning down I
Caged Between The Beta & Alpha 43. An Outburst
RAVENIt was the following day, and the conversation with Liam remained at the front of my mind. It almost felt like a cloud of doom looming over my head.I could tell that sharing me wasn’t an option for him.Even though he was trying to at least tolerate Damon, it was obvious that there was no aspect of making it work.What did that mean?Damon’s kindness, patience and selflessness were things I loved too. He was someone who was dear to me with or without this bond.But ultimately, if I had to really choose one to have a relationship with…A sudden wave of guilt washed over me and I pushed the thoughts away."In sets!" I shouted, trying to focus on the training session.Everyone obeyed except Taylor who seemed to be distracted.‘Taylor?’ I called through the link.He blinked and looked at me."Sorry." He muttered, stepping up beside the guy next to him, ready to spar.
