Caged Between the beta and alpha

Chapter 95



Chapter 95

Bright light , that’s all I could see .

I couldn’t hear or feel anything … I opened my eyes and looking around , there was nothing but light .

It was dazzling , yet it didn’t hurt the eyes .

I was no longer in pain … I sat up slowly .

Where am I ? ” You are nowhere , just in – between life and death .

” A majestic voice came .

It was strong and beautiful , but it didn’t sound human .

A soft laugh filled the air and I realised something was forming in front of me .

A glowing outline of a tall woman with long hair … I had to look away .

Looking at her directly made the eyes sting due to the intensity of the light .

I didn’t need her to introduce herself to know who that was .

I lowered my head to her , not sure how to feel .

” ” Goddess … ”

” Indeed , my child .

” I could tell from her voice that she was smiling .

” I am proud of you ; you sacrificed your life for your brother .

” I frowned , everything returning to me .

” I don’t think he sees me as a brother anymore … I lost that right long ago .

” I said quietly . Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

She held her glowing hand out , her flowing white dress swaying in a non existent breeze .

I took it hesitantly , feeling a cooling smoothness wash over m e .

” It is in your blood to want your mate for yourself .

You are still brothers .

You are one pack , one family .

” She said , as I stood up , letting go of her hand .

That’s true , we are … ” To err is part of life … You broke the centuries – old curse , child ; one I knew

you could .

Surprise rushed through me , and although I couldn’t hear it , my heart was thumping in my chest .

” The curse is broken ? ” ” You gave the gift of life , selflessly sacrificing your own for someone else ,

someone who has caused you great inner conflict .

You cast aside your bitterness and fought this darkness … ” ”

I stayed silent , remembering the curse and prophecy .

She laughed softly .

” The curse … ah … Helios is not one to forget the insult … His curse was strong , I knew I would need

someone powerful to break it .

I have waited centuries for the right wolf to be born .

I have created many strong , powerful Alphas of the Deimos line .

Yet none as compassionate as you .

Alpha’s are powerful , strong and have the will to lead , it is their soulmates who are usually the more

compassionate , loving ones .

I couldn’t simply evade the curse .

When Helios foresaw your birth and the power that you would have , he came to me … I couldn’t

simply bend the rules , us gods have rules and regulations too after all … To break the curse ; yours

and the blessed wolf’s birth weakened the curse but I had to seal away your abilities .

In their place , he placed the darkness within you , the ultimate test to either break the curse or end the

Deimos line for eternity .

The burden was upon you before you even left your mother’s womb .

” I pondered on her words , taking it in slowly , frowning slightly .

” Abilities ? ” I asked , trying to make sense of what she had said completely .

” Yes , you are the Deimos prince .

” ” Aren’t all Deimos Alpha’s princes since w e come from the Deimos line , like Dad or Grandad ? ” I

asked as we walked side by side with no destination in mind .

” Not at all , I placed within you the powers second only to the original Deimos wolf .

You are far more pure – blooded than your predecessors , hence a Deimos prince .

Far more powerful .

” ” Yet … ” ” Speak your mind , child .

” She said , although I knew she knew what I was thinking .

” Raven … Her having two mates … What was the reason behind it ? ” I asked quietly .

Unable to hide the sadness , I always felt that I wasn’t enough .

” Oh child , never think you are not enough .

” 1 ” Then why ? ” ” To test you .

I couldn’t simply allow you t o have a life of ease if I wished for you to break the curse .

There were several outcomes that could have taken place , and even I did not know how it would go .

I cannot foresee everything after all , just the possible outcomes … When I made you , I created for you

a mate whom I knew would be far too gentle to want to hurt either .

It needed to be from you .

” She sighed , despite her voice sounding as light and powerful as ever .

” You have broken the curse , yet you are neither alive nor dead .

” I knew that … ” However , your mate marked you .

” I looked at her sharply , only to flinch due t o the blinding light and look away , touching my neck .

My heart thudded at the realisation .

” She’s completed the bond between you two .

” Raven … why … ” Because she loves you .

” ” But I’m on the brink of death , right ? ” I asked , my heart squeezing in pain .

” Yes , your heart stopped a moment ago , here time moves strangely … But she marked you .

Even when your body could n o longer fight , she still risked her own life by sharing her strength with

you , thus destroying this curse .

” ” But I was too late … ” .

I didn’t care … But Raven … My heart squeezed thinking of her .

She had lost everyone in life … ” If you die , wouldn’t that mean the curse has won ? You must live .

” ” 1 My heart soared with hope .

I looked at her , fighting the bright light , knowing that this moment was about to end .

I had one request .

” Damon … please give him a second chance .

He doesn’t deserve to be alone .

He had given up Raven for me and although I couldn’t share her … I wanted him to find his happiness

too … He had lost far too much .

I couldn’t see her properly , but I knew she was smiling .

” Fear not … I have a plan , I always have a plan … Fight for what you want child … The Deimos line

MUST live on … ” Her voice faded away and I looked around , realising she was gone .

Suddenly , I was plunged into darkness .

What was this ? Then I was falling backwards at an incredible speed … RAVEN ” No … no ! ” ” Raven

… ” Damon whispered , but I refused to let go of Liam .

Even though it hadn’t even been a minute since his heart stopped , it felt like an eternity …

” Do something ! Bring him- A sudden darkness seeped out of him , sending a shiver down my spine ,

and then an enormous amount of dazzling blue energy emitted from Liam , throwing us all back .

I gasped as Damon caught me , both of us getting thrown straight into the dessert table .

The wave of pure blue aura burst outwards , shattering the windows of the packhouse in the process .

The trees bent under the sheer force of the blue light that illuminated the entire sky , washing away the

darkness .

LIAM ! ” I cried out , feeling the sizzling strong snap of the mate bond fall back into place , a surge of

emotions and strength filling me .

He’s alive ! I was the first to rush to his side , the glowing blue aura whirling around him .

H e took a deep breath , his eyes flying open , blazing a brilliant magnetic blue that stared directly into

mine .

He cupped the back of my neck , one arm pulling me into his lap .

” Baby … ”

” Blue eyes … ” I whispered , flinging my arms around his neck .

His heart was thundering loudly , that intense aura surrounded him ..

” Fuck , I love you .

” He whispered , His heart was pounding as was my own , his hands roaming my body as if to reassure

himself that I was alive .

” I love you too , so much .

” I whispered , his hand tangled in my hair , pulling me close and kissing me passionately .

I couldn’t even kiss him back for a second , too shocked at the intense sparks that erupted inside of me

, the pure intensity of the completed bond made my entire body sizzle with delicious tingles that sent

my stomach into a knot of burning desire .

‘ I can’t lose you … ‘ I whispered through the link , kissing him back , our lips so perfectly moulded

against the others .

You won’t .

‘ I whimpered softly , the moment he broke away , kissing me down my jaw and neck , not leaving an

inch of my bare skin empty from his touch , his arms wrapping around me tightly .

The muffled silent sob of Aunty Red reached me and it took my all to pull away from his touch , my

eyes full of tears .

I looked at her , knowing she wanted to meet her son too .

I motioned with my head and she came over , smiling at us , flinging her arms around us both with her

body shaking in silent sobs as she held us tightly .

Liam’s strong arms wrapped around us both , placing soft kisses on top of both of our heads .

” I’m ok .

” Liam said , my heart skipping a beat as I closed my eyes .

Thank the goddess … Aunty Red moved back and Uncle El pulled her into his arms , looking at Liam .

He was in nothing but some shorts since he had been one of the ones to go after the attacker in blind

rage .

” You gave us a scare there .

” He said quietly .

” Sorry .

” Liam said , standing up .

” No need to apologise , guess you’re just making up for being such a good pup when you were little .

” Uncle El said , his eyes full of emotions .

The man before me had truly been through so much in life , yet he still remained so strong .

He hugged his son and I smiled watching them .

Liam was taller and bulkier , and I realised that he was ready to let his father retire … To be the Alpha

that Uncle El could rely on too … ” Wiyam are you ok ?! ” Azura’s little voice came , big tears splashing

down her cheek .

I am , pumpkin .

” Liam said , crouching down and pulling her into his arms .

I smiled softly , staring at his back , save the blood that remained , he was fully healed …
