Caged Between the beta and alpha

Chapter 93

Raven didn’t say a word .

Her anger and pain were clear in her eyes .

She had clenched her fists and stormed out .

I had called after her , but she simply shook her head not saying anything .

Even when I had pulled her into my arms and apologised , she simply stayed stiff , a single tear

escaping her eye .

That hurt … but it was the truth , I was fucking scared .

We had walked to the packhouse in silence but I held her hand tightly .

‘ Raven ..

‘ She didn’t reply , simply holding my hand tighter .

The hall was decorated in a rustic theme .

The wooden tables were bare , with just a black runner down the middle .

There were bottles of whiskey , ice and drinks lining the table .

It’s definitely not a party for kids in here … The double doors that led to the garden were wide open .

The garden was decorated as well , and I could hear the music was louder out there .

” So , food’s in here , dancing and drinking are outside .

”

Taylor said , walking over , a bottle in hand and Zack by his side .

” Easy on the drinks , we just got here .

” Zack said , looking down at him with love clear in his eyes , despite the arrogant look on his face .

” Don’t worry , I’ll be fine .

Damn girl , you look good .

” Taylor said , smiling at Raven a s she slowly let go of my hand and he hugged her tight .

” You ok ? ” I watched them , seeing the concern in Taylor’s eyes for her .

Even when she gave that dazzling smile and nodded , I knew she wasn’t … ” Hey , guys … ” Damon

said , coming over .

H e was dressed similarly to me in black pants with a button – down shirt .

” Hi .

” I said , as he turned to Raven .

” Hey ! ” She said , giving him a smile before hugging him .

I watched them as he hugged her back and looked away , giving them a moment .

The sacrifice they made for me isn’t something I’d forget and as much as I wanted to keep her in my

arms , I couldn’t be more selfish with her than I already have been .

How are you feeling ? ” Damon asked her quietly .

” Perfect .

” She said , smiling .

I know a few of the higher – ups probably knew she had gone into heat as both Zack and Damon

needed to cover for me .

I saw Damon’s ex glance towards us , lowering her head to me before she walked out towards the back

.

” Well , unless we are going to be like the old folks and stay inside , shall we head outside ? ” Zack

asked .

” Oi ! Who you calling old , pup ?! ” One of the older men shouted , already downing beer like water .

” Or do you want to try us ? We may be old but we can assure you that we are strong and able !

” Another called out .

” Oh , I can vouch for him ! He is very able ! ” His mate said , blushing as the other old she – wolves all

began to tease her . This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Yeah , still young at heart .

I smiled slightly as Zack raised his hand i n surrender .

” Sorry , ” ” You deserved that , babe .

” Taylor said as they led the way out , Damon following them .

I turned to Raven , who looked at me just then .

She looked breath – taking .

It was a little different than her usual colour , but she suited it beautifully .

The dress hugged her curves , emphasising that tiny waist and cleavage before draping over her sexy

ass .

She reached up , her eyes flashed and her heart raced as she cupped my face , tugging me down .

‘ Raven … ‘ She didn’t reply , simply placing a soft kiss on my lips .

The sparks were dancing between us , yet beyond them , I felt her lips quiver slightly as she pulled

away .

A ripple of whispers spread through the old wolves but I pretended not to hear them a s Raven

wrapped her arms around mine , resting her head against my shoulder .

I was hurting her once again .

I didn’t like the silent treatment .

” I knew it ! ” ” That’s our Luna ! ” ” I see Scarlett in her .

” ” ” They make a cute couple , I just hope she’s not a magic lover … ” 1 frowned , feeling a flare of

anger .

I know what they were insinuating , the birth of Azura … ” Ignore them .

” Raven whispered , but I was far too angry to do so .

I turned back towards them , staring at the granny who had spoken , about to speak , m y eyes flashing

when I felt a hand on my back .

” Patience Liam , I’ll handle it , go outside .

” Dad said quietly , his eyes blazing cobalt .

He didn’t like anyone saying anything about Azura’s birth as much as me , he had made it clear it was

never to be talked about I just wish people weren’t so fucking backwards …

” Drink ? ” Mom said , pushing two glasses into mine and Raven’s hands .

” You look good , Mom .

” I said giving her a hug .

” Thanks .

” She said , doing a small twirl in her cerulean dress that matched Dad’s eyes .

” Where’s Elijah gone ?

” ” Handling something inside , ” Raven said , her attention going to the small kids area that was all

decked out with balloons , a bouncy castle , a ball pit and some Omegas dressed up as cartoon

characters .

” Ooh , there’s a kiddie area ? ” ” I don’t think anyone is going to feel comfortable leaving their kids at

home .

” Mom replied as Raven hurried over to go see the kids .

” She sure loves kids .

” 11 ” Hmm ? ” I said , raising an eyebrow , a little too distracted by Raven’s ass .

” I’m not complaining .

” Mom said with a smirk as Dad stepped out and she wrapped her arms around his neck .

It took me a second to realise what she was hinting at .

Pups …

I looked over at Raven , watching as she pulled faces , teasing the boys and complimenting the girls on

their outfits .

I felt a pang of pain inside .

I doubted I’d live long enough to see that moment … I swallowed hard ; I wouldn’t let this darkness get

the better of me … ” Kiara won’t be making it .

” Dad’s voice said as he stepped into the garden , phone i n hand .

“

Oh no , why ? ” Mom said playing with Dad’s shirt .

TE ” Because … ” I looked away as Dad got a little too distracted checking Mom out .

Their Delta’s mate has gone into labour early , it’s high risk , the one having quads , so Kiara needs to

be there .

” 11 ” Oh , if we knew earlier we could have sent someone to bring Dante at least .

” Mom said , sounding a little disappointed .

” Next time .

” Dad said quietly .

I watched Raven help a pup that had fallen off the bouncy castle to her feet , kissing the top of her

head softly .

She was beautiful , selfless , and so fucking perfect …

” Go have fun , or are you just going to stare at her from here ? ” Dad said , smirking , bringing me out

of my thoughts .

” Hmm .

” I murmured , slipping my hands into my pockets as I looked around .

The couples dancing , the teens teasing and messing around to the side , the children laughing and

giggling with no care in the world .

Taylor and Zack were standing to the side talking , or more like flirting quietly , before Channing rolled

his wheelchair over and they joined in talking together .

Robyn was sitting with Aunty Monica , styling her hair .

And Mom and Dad were now making out like this was their bedroom … Seriously …

Damon was now next to Raven , who was next to the dessert table , both smiling over something .

She looked towards me and her eyes softened , motioning me over .

I gave a small nod , my emotions surging within me .

I was always in the background … I’m sure if worst came to worst … They’ll be ok , because they have

each other

They lived without me for three years , and they would live for many more … I looked at her as she

brushed her hair out of her face , nodding to something Damon said , but her gaze kept coming back to

me .

The only one I was scared about was her .

Her reaction from earlier , her love for me … I would fight this for as long as I could .

For her .

I walked over to her and she excused herself , coming over to me .

” Want to dance ? ” I asked her .

Her eyes widened in surprise before she nodded vigorously and pulled me towards the dance floor .

She wrapped her arms around my neck and I gripped her waist , pulling her against me as we began

moving slowly to the music , her scent like a wave of serenity .

” Please don’t think like that .

” She whispered , her fingers brushing my neck , sending off sparks .

” With you in my arms ….

how can I ? ” I whispered huskily .

Bending down , I kissed her with everything I had , pouring my soul and heart into it .

You are my dream .

You are my life .

You are my all .
