Caged Between the beta and alpha

Chapter 50

RAVEN

” Liam . ” I choked out as his hand became tighter . ” A – Alpha ! ” Ben stuttered , clearly not expecting

the change in Liam . Liam’s eyes snapped towards him , his Alpha command surging forth . With just

one look , the man lowered his head , moving away .

My eyes widened … That … Liam didn’t even say anything … ” Liam ! ” I said , my nails digging into his

hands as I tried to get him to let go of me . ” Liam , please let go .

” My heart thundered as Liam threw me aside roughly , I hit the bars on the opposite side , groaning as

pain jarred through me before I fell to the ground , just about breaking my fall . The burn of the silver

searing my bare back made me pull away from them . ” A – Alpha … ” ” ” No one can protect you , not

even her .

Liam hissed as Dad spluttered , backing away from the bars . ‘ Run ! ‘ I told Ben , praying he didn’t

have the keys just in case Liam tried to get them . He moved towards me , but I shook my head . ‘ I …

I’ll call … ‘ He backed away silently , and I turned to Liam .

My eyes widened in fear , watching him take hold of two bars and stretching them apart . My heart was

in my throat . That wasn’t possible . Those bars were made to withstand a werewolf’s limits ...

M y eyes snapped to his hands . Sure enough , they were burned , yet he clearly didn’t care . He

smiled , almost psychotically , as h e stepped through the gap he had created .

” Alpha s – stop ! Y – You can’t kill me ! ” Dad shouted . I looked at Liam , stumbling to my feet as I ran

into the cell . It wasn’t Dad that I cared about right now , it was Liam . I couldn’t let the darkness control

him , whatever this was , it was strong . ” Liam please .

” I whispered , blocking his way . Reaching up I cupped his face tightly , only for him to grab my wrists

in a painful grip , I felt something crack in m y left wrist but I didn’t let go . ” Stay out of this Darling , I

told you … he will pay for the crap he’s given you .

” He hissed , pushing me away roughly as he adva ced Dad . I saw his claws come out as he lunged at

m y father , slashing him across his chest . He didn’t stop , picking him up and flinging him down to the

ground . ” Stop ! ” I shouted as Dad howled in pain , not even able to defend himself . He needed to

stop . I ran towards him , pushing him away from Dad with all my strength . ” Liam please listen to me !

” I pleaded , feeling the sparks course through us as I grabbed his face , this time bracing myself . ”

Won’t you listen to your bitesize ? ” He sucked in a sharp breath , his heart thundering , and I saw his

eyes lighten a little .

The black that coated his whites was fading away slowly . ” Listen to me , blue eyes … ” I whispered ,

trying to ignore the discomfort in my wrist as Liam tried to pull out of my grip , only crushing my already

painful wrist further . I didn’t let go , instead locking my arms around his neck . ” Liam … ” H His eyes

flickered from cerulean to magnetic blue to midnight navy , his heart thundering loudly . I could feel his

emotions as he fought against himself . ” You’re ok .

” I whispered , locking my arms tightly around his neck . As I placed a soft kiss on his throat , I locked

my legs around his waist , clinging onto him tightly . That seemed to work as he gasped for air ,

staggering back . ” Fuck . ” He whispered . I leaned back , staring into his now bright cerulean eyes ,

relief flooding me . He looked around , as if realising where we were for the first time .

” Raven … ” He said , looking at me and then at Dad’s body that lay limp on the ground . He wrapped

his arms around my waist tightly and I could hear how fast his heart was beating , burying his head in

my neck as realisation settled within him .

Just then , we heard the sound of running and saw Uncle El and Damon , realising Ben must have

called them . Damon looked at us , worry clear in his eyes as Uncle El assessed the situation . I didn’t

miss the way his eyes flashed when he looked at the bent bars or thei way his frown deepened as he

hurried over to Dad . I unlocked my legs from around Liam’s waist , but he refused to let me go .

I didn’t pull away . As much as he needed me , I also was worried for him . ” Will someone explain to

me what the fuck is happening here ? ” Uncle El hissed , his eyes blazing cobalt blue as he looked a t

us . ” Get him to the hospital ! ” Damon hesitated , before frowning and walking over to Dad , only to

stop again .

” I don’t know if he deserves that uncle . ” H e whispered to everyone’s surprise . ” I put him in here ,

he’s staying here . He won’t die , although he should . ” Liam added coldly . ” Liam- ” ” I am the Alpha .

My rules now , remember ?

” Uncle El clenched his jaw , looking at me and then at Liam . I looked between Damon and Liam .

Damon was tense , I knew he was angry with my father , and Liam’s eyes kept flickering from magnetic

blue to cerulean .

” Just let a doctor come see him … He isn’t worth getting your hands dirty over . ” I whispered , looking

up at Damon . I saw Uncle El glance between the three of us , I had a feeling Aunty Red had probably

told him our situation . ” What happened to Haru’s arm ? ” He asked tersely . ” He lost it . ” Liam said

coldly .

I saw Uncle El pause for a moment and knew he was mind linking someone . ” I set an example of

what happens when you abuse your child . ” Liam said icily as h e glared down at Dad . ” Liam … ”

Uncle El said , concern clear in his eyes .

Liam didn’t reply , finally letting go of me and taking hold of my wrist . ” Ouch ! ” I yelled , unable to stop

myself as pain shot up my broken wrist . All three men looked at me , and Liam let g o quickly . ”

What’s wrong , Love ?

” He asked as I clutched my wrist , my eyes stinging from the pain . ” I think it’s bruised- ” ” The angle is

fucking off . That’s broken . How did that happen ? ” Uncle El said , coming over as he took my hand in

his . He examined my wrist before he snapped it back into place , making me gasp , eye watering pain

shooting through me before I felt my arm healing .

” Ow … ” I said , pouting as I rubbed my wrist . Uncle El gave me a sympathetic look before his brows

furrowed once more . Damon was by my side , taking my hand a s he massaged my forearm gently . ”

How did you get hurt , Raven ? ” Uncle El repeated .

My heart thumped . I couldn’t and I wouldn’t say , Liam … He would only feel bad . ” I just got ” I did All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

that , didn’t I ? ” Liam asked quietly . ” No , it wasn’t you . ” I said , firmly looking up at him . ” The guilt

and pain in his eyes made my own heart squeeze .

A tense silence fell , even when a doctor and two guards came rushing in , I knew this conversation

was not over . Liam turned away , yet I didn’t miss the turmoil and shock in his eyes . ” Get him treated

and put him in one of the cells on the top floor with a bed . ” Liam muttered , his irritation and contempt

clear in his voice . ” And how about the four of us get back to my house ? I think we need to have a talk

.

” Uncle El said darkly . I looked up at him . His jaw was clenched , his nostrils flaring . The way he was

looking at Liam told me he was pissed off . Liam frowned and as much as I didn’t want to get him in

trouble , I knew that if w e told them about the curse , they could help .

” Let’s go then . ” Liam said , coldly leading the way out . My thoughts were in vain when Liam’s cold

voice came through the link . ‘ If either of you mentions the curse … ‘ He left his threat hanging . I

stared at his back , my own heart aching . I couldn’t sense his emotions anymore , h e had raised his

walls once again . I prayed he didn’t shut me out again because he needed us …

‘ What happened ? ” Damon asked through the link . *** ‘ He heard me and Dad talking … He lost it I’m

scared Damon , his eyes turned completely black … It was terrifying … He wasn’t himself .

‘ ‘ Yeah … I saw him rip your Dad’s arm off and he didn’t seem like himself then too … ‘ Hmm and I

thought after talking to him I was going to unleash my wrath upon the two of you . Neither of you told

me he was i n the cells . ‘ I said , trying to keep the annoyance from my voice . ‘ Sorry , gorgeous . ‘

Damon’s apologetic voice came .

I looked at him and sadly those blue eyes o f his looked sorry . Still when things calmed down , I was

going to unleash my wrath upon them . They are not forgiven ! ‘ I’ll deal with that after this talk . ‘ I

mumbled through the link , now staring at Liam’s muscular back .

Worry and fear consumed me as we walked through the pack grounds towards his parents ‘ home .

The power that rolled off of him reminded me that this was not just an Alpha , but one of the strongest

in the entire country … Time was running out and we still had no solid answers . Moonlight Muse
