51. Can't Hide It
RAVEN
"Is anyone going to speak?" Aunty Red said, placing a tray of snacks and drinks on the coffee table, her eyes full of concern as she saw Uncle El frowning.
We were all seated in the living room of the Westwood home.
"Come here." He said, taking her hand and pulling her into his lap, trapping her in his arms and kissing her neck.
I was sitting on the sofa opposite, with Liam on one side and Damon on the other. Azura was watching TV and I was proud to see she was playing with the plushie I had got for her. From here I could see she was enjoying eating her boogers. Aww, soo cute!
"Care to explain how the fu-" Aunty Red placed her finger on Uncle El’s lips, cutting him off. He smirked slightly, biting down on it.
Hot couple goals!
"How the hell did you bend those bars?" He continued once he let go of his mate’s finger.
I looked at Liam. Okay big boy, explain that.
I crossed my arms as all eyes turned to Lia

SCARLETT My heart skipped a beat, my nerves rippled through me as I stared at the man before me. I could barely recognise him, save his strawberry locks and his features that were a mix of both mine and Elijah's. The coldness and darkness that exuded from him made my gut twist, but it was the cold smile on his face that reminded me of someone long ago. Someone that I still sometimes had to remind myself was dead. Someone who would still creep into my mind on an occasional rare night… No. My son was not anything like him. "Liam." I said, getting up. I walked towards him, cupping his face as I perched on the armrest of the sofa next to him. "Liam, look at me." My eyes flashed silver as I tried to get through to him, but he simply pulled away from my hold, something he had never done in his life. "Liam… I think a trial sounds fair." Raven said, taking hold of his hand. I felt him tense. The darkness seemed to flare up before it eb

RAVEN I knew by blurting that out I was breaking his trust, but I couldn’t just keep it secret when we needed all the help we could get. "Liam!" I said running after him, grabbing the back of his shirt just as he exited the house. His anger flared up and he spun around, the deep magnetic blue of his wolf's eyes piercing into my own. Thank the goddess it wasn’t those dark eyes… "I trusted you. Don’t you think I had my fucking reasons not to tell them?" He asked coldly, just as a strong wind blew around us. "Liam, you need help-" "Don’t give me that fucking shit! I don’t need help, you know what? I regret ever telling you about the fucking curse and card, then no one would have fucking ever known about it." He said, his voice was so full of anger and bitterness that I felt it inside. "I didn’t want to tell Mom and Dad because they are already going through so fucking much." "I know... But if they lose you, then-" "Don’t a

RAVENI had returned to the packhouse after that, not wanting anyone to know what we had just done… My mind kept replaying the moment with Liam and I realised that, despite worrying about him, I was holding back from being myself completely with him because of my connection to Damon. It wasn’t fair on anyone…Damon had mind linked asking if things were ok, and I told him that we didn’t really talk but he'd calmed down. He was glad things didn’t escalate and filled me in on what happened inside. Yes, I felt dreadful…Aunty Red had also mind-linked asking about Liam as well, but the thing is we didn’t really get to talk, so I told her the same thing I told Damon. Things had just gotten out of hand, but I didn’t regret it. I just… I needed to sort myself out. Maybe talking to Taylor might help? I needed a friend’s insight on this, and I think we both needed each other.I pulled on some soft blac

RAVEN "You are going to feel guilty, but we both know staying in this situation is hurting you all." He said softly. I could feel how bad he felt saying that, but it was the truth. "Putting aside everything... Let’s play a game. I ask a question and you pick which one you would choose." He added, slapping his thigh as the idea popped in his head. Putting aside everything… The curse included. Because that was what I used to make myself feel better every time I felt guilty for how I was treating Damon, but that was not an excuse. "Ok…" I said, playing with the tab on my can. "Now picture them both standing right there... Which one will you hug first?" I frowned as the answer came to me. "Liam… because-" "We’re not justifying why here... Block that all out and just think about your instant answers, I don’t want any breaks, you have got to answer fast, ok? Whoever comes to mind first." "Ok." I groaned. "Both are hur

RAVENTaylor and I watched another movie after, we talked about our sucky situations as we ate all the snacks and even grabbed some beer from the fridge. Comforting each other when we needed it and laughing at our lame attempts at singing. Yes, we were both tone-deaf and sounded horrifying, but hey we had fun and lots of giggles.Taylor was an amazing friend, and although we weren’t close as children, it felt like I had known him forever. I mean, I did, but not like this.The credits of the second movie had now ended and the TV had switched off, but me and Taylor were still awake, lying side by side on the bed, staring at the shadows that were cast across the ceiling thanks to the moonlight shining through the cracks in the curtains and the tree branches."Raven…""Yeah?" I said, yawning as I rubbed my eyes sleepily."You know, when we were little… When I was weird and awkward, that shy kid no

LIAM I was in my office with Damon. This was probably one of the fucking rare times we were completely alone and the urge to get rid of him wasn’t fucking overtaking me. The entire table and part of the floor were littered with papers and photographs. I couldn’t believe I was in this fucking situation, where we were trying to rule out those who had full alibis around the time of the murders. Zack, Damon and I were the only ones working on this and it was fucking a lot, maybe we needed to bring in a few more people. I know Dad offered and I might take him up on that. Mom had aunty Monica and Azura to take care of. Maybe Raven… I licked my lips remembering what happened earlier... Perfect was not even enough to describe it... She was fucking divine, and that pretty little pussy of hers was so bloody fine… Feeling myself twitch in my pants, I frowned pushing the thought away. Fuck. "It would have been easier to just put them all under Alpha comma
Caged Between The Beta & Alpha 58. Worry & Concern
DAMONI ran into the Jacobs home a minute or so behind Liam, only to see him running down the stairs with Raven’s body in his arms."What the…""I need to get her to the hospital. She’s injured and I think there’s poison in her system. She isn’t healing! Her mom’s dead." He said, the fear and worry in his eyes tearing at my own heart.I nodded, knowing he was the fastest to get her there… but to my surprise, he held her out to me, his cerulean eyes full of pain."Make sure she’s ok." He said, his voice hoarse.My heart thudded as I took her in my arms. She was tiny and didn’t weigh much at all, her head falling against my chest. I nodded, not saying anything then turning and running from the house.I knew he wanted to find whoever did it, and I could see the pain in his eyes as he let her go.I could feel her blood coating my arm, which meant she wasn’t healing.

LIAM I tried to tell myself that he was just holding her hand out of concern, that he was her friend too... But I couldn’t deny the irritation that was flaring up inside of me... That anger threatening to lash out. I tried to focus on Raven, letting the tingles that coursed through me at our touch calm me. "You deserve this?" He repeated, frowning. Yeah, so, the three notes… The first said; ‘Who’s next?’ The second; ‘Two down, I wonder how many more to go?’ And now this. There’s nothing really in them." I said, pausing. "You deserved this, is probably the most to go on." "True, but who do they mean? Her mom? Raven? Do they have an issue with Raven?" Damon mused. I frowned, clenching my jaw. "These murders started when Raven came back to town... There may be a connection there." I said, suddenly thinking he had a point. Damon looked surprised at that, before becoming thoughtful. "Good point. Do you think we should track
