"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

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. Was

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
Caged Between The Beta & Alpha 60. His Ridiculous Lie
RAVEN I hated myself for this, I hated how I was making him feel. He was no less a man than Liam, he did not deserve this. Liam walked out, giving Damon a curt nod and shutting the door behind him. “Hey, how are you feeling?" Damon asked, about to place the gorgeous bouquet of purple flowers down when I reached out and took them. "I'm great and these are beautiful!" I said, looking up at him. I'm such a horrible person… He bent down, wrapping his arms around me tightly. I hugged him back, his comforting scent and those tingles rushing through me. I could hear his racing heart and the guilt inside of me only grew. I glanced at Aunty Red, seeing the sadness in her eyes too, before she looked away, smoothly busying herself with Azura’s hair. Damon moved back and jerked his thumb at the paper bag. "I brought you breakfast." He said, turning to Azura and raising his eyebrows playfully before flashing her one o

RAVEN I was still fuming, and Taylor breaking into snickers every few minutes didn’t help. Goddess, I can’t believe I fell for that. Urgh, I'm so angry right now. Liam had mind-linked not long ago to ask everyone to report to the packhouse meeting room. Me, Taylor and Nina, who had come to my room with more vases, now walked down the stairs together. "I wonder what it’s about..." Taylor murmured. "Maybe they found something?" I said as we entered the large hall that was extremely full. "Maybe." Taylor said, glancing around at the number of pack members that were gathered here. From my quick estimate, I think two thirds of the pack were here… I saw Liam standing there at the head of the room, talking to Zack, well mind linking… Liam was just nodding, his arms crossed with one hand on his chin. The frown on his face made me realise that he was still very much cold towards others. Although at times, I saw him bring those w

TAYLORIt was the following day and I had decided to bite the bullet and go see Channing again. Shit. I wasn’t ready for this, but I had to do it. Taking Mama’s flapjack and shepherd’s pie with me was not enough… but this was the time I needed to do this. Anna was going to be out and I needed to do this when she wasn’t around.Goddess’ and God’s above, lend me your strength of courage and bravery because I need as much as I can get.Reaching Channing’s home, I did the doorbell, before opening the door and entering."Channing?!""Tay! In here!" His voice came.I quickly went to the kitchen, placing the food on the worktop and entered the living room.It was warm and cosy, decorated in browns and navy. Channing was on the sofa, remote in hand and holding a bottle of J2O orange."Grab yourself a drink and come join me, I was going to watch the replay of last night’s boxing mat
Caged Between The Beta & Alpha 63. Troubles Of The Heart
ROBYN It was mid-afternoon. The weather was cool yet the sun was shining brightly and the windows were wide open. The sound of people shouting, some of the boys playing ball and a few girls laughing in a room down the hall, filled my ears. If I didn’t know better, I would never have thought such an environment would be shadowed by the eyes of a killer. Right now, everything seems so normal. Raven and I were seated on my bed as I silently observed the girl in front of me. I don’t mean to be a bitch, but seeing Raven pay so much attention to Liam and literally just ignore Damon was fucking breaking my heart. At the same time, I wanted to go over to her and shout at her for doing that. Did she not see that he was fucking hurting? I wish I could just comfort him, but I knew that we couldn’t just be friends, not with that situation. Me staying away was for the best. I felt like I had been cheated too… I remember the first time I told him ou
