Caged Between the beta and alpha

Chapter 54

RAVEN

I 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 i n 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 black loungewear ,

consisting of comfy bottoms , a crop top and a cardigan , before I grabbed some snacks from my stash

; Doritos , a bag of mixed chocolates and a share bag of candyfloss .

Who doesn’t love cotton candy ?! Of course , I brought one of my plushies .

You can’t have a movie night without a plushie and of course , slippers ! I looked down at my fluffy

slippers proudly .

I was halfway down the hallways when Owen bumped into me on purpose , but I was kind of expecting

it .

I braced myself just in time , shoving him hard and knocking him into the wall on his other side .

A young couple , Lee and Macy , snickered a t that , and Owen shot them a glare .

” So , where are you off to tonight ? Your other mates for the night ? ” He asked , making me freeze .

” Excuse me ? ” ” Come on , we all know you have two mates .

Wow , you’re a little slut huh ? ” He taunted .

” Owen cut it out .

” Lee warned him .

” I can handle this .

” I said , despite feeling shocked at the fact that the entire packhouse knew I had two mates … Was it

the guard … Shit … ” Actually , I’m going to Taylors .

” I said icily .

” Oh , I never knew he rolled both ways .

There might actually be a bit of a man in the fucking- (Read Daily Updated Chapters

Zack’s scent hit me before I realised it was him as he knocked Owen to the ground , punching him

across the face again .

” Who the fuck do you think you are insulting ?!

” He growled venomously , punching him again .

My eyes widened as I stared at them , but I wasn’t going to stop them , Owen deserved this .

” What the fuck man ?! ” Owen growled .

” You don’t fucking talk shit about him or I swear I will fuck you up ! ” Zack hissed , delivering a final

punch to Owen’s jaw , making the three of us watching flinch at the resounding crack .

He got off him and Owen groaned , rolling onto his side .

The smell of blood filled my nose as he spat a mouthful out whilst he watched Zack turn away .

I stuck my tongue out at him before trudging down the stairs behind Zack .

” Someone got angry .

” I said , clutching m y snacks tightly .

He looked down at my plushie before shaking his head and giving me a look that clearly said , ‘ You

know why .

” ” And where were you headed to ?

” Zack asked , raising his eyebrow as he looked m e over .

” Spending the night at Taylor’s ” I said , tossing my hair .

Hehe , bet you want to be in my place right now , sucker .

I instantly felt bad when he swallowed and nodded , his eyes filled with guilt .

” How is he ? ” ” He needs time … but he’ll be ok .

” I said softly as Nina and another Omega stepped out of the kitchen and passed Zack a large bag full

of boxed food .

I gave Nina a small wave and she smiled back as Zack thanked them .

” What’s with the food ? ” I asked , motioning to the Tupperware .

” Oh , I’m taking these for a few of the boys on patrol .

With everything happening , they don’t really get breaks often .

“

He said , shrugging .

” Oh ok ! Well , have fun being a delivery boy .

” I said , strolling towards the front door .

” Hey , should you be going out alone ? If Liam knew 11 ” He won’t know unless you open your ‘ I

mouth .

” ” I’ll walk you .

I raised an eyebrow .

” Are you worried about me , or do you just want to see a certain someone ? (Read Daily Updated

He’s avoiding me , not that I fucking blame him .

” Zack said quietly .

I gave him a sympathetic smile .

” He’ll come around .

” I said as we left the packhouse .

Ah , the weather was good tonight … We reached Taylor’s house shortly after , and I paused , glancing

at my own parent’s home for a moment .

It felt strange … I didn’t know what to feel anymore … ” Raven … ? ” Zack asked concerned .

” You o k ? ” I nodded my head and smiled .

” Of course ! ” I said before I walked up to Taylor’s front door and rang the doorbell .

Zack stayed at the gate , but he didn’t leave .

His eyes were on the door .

Taylor opened it looking as handsome as ever , in an oversized tank top and sweatpants .

His eyes instantly snapped to Zack at the gates , his heart skipping a beat .

He clenched his jaw and looked at me , ” Hey , you got snacks ! I got some too , and pizza is on the

way .

” He said , smiling down at me .

” Mhmm .

” I said , giving him a hug despite having my hands full . NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

I knew Zack had walked off , it hurt to see them like this .

We headed upstairs , and both of us plopped down on his bed .

He put on a movie that he knew both of us would enjoy , although I knew we were both going to be

watching less and talking more .

” So , how was your day ? ” Taylor asked , as we both settled against the pillows .

I placed my plushie next to me in the middle of us both , smiling proudly at it ..

He held out the bowl of popcorn he had already prepared , and I sighed heavily at his question .

” Ok , want me to tell you my problems because I have a lot to tell ? ” I said pouting .

Taylor propped himself up on his elbow , tilting his head .

” Ok … Should I be worried ? I mean , I have heard stuff … ” .

” Well … I guess you heard about the two mates , huh ? ” I said , throwing popcorn up in the air and

catching it in my mouth .

” Yeah … I did actually .

Damn girl … ” He gave me a small smile .

I sighed heavily .

” No babe , not ok … ” I said and began to explain our entire situation .

The pizza came halfway through and we ate slowly ,

Taylor was more in shock than anything else as he processed the entire thing .

I didn’t hold back , from how Dad deleted those texts , to everything else .

Telling him how I had chemistry with both and loved them both , but it was also s o different .

How I felt guilty and confused .

The only thing I left out was the curse .

” ….

And there you have it , my life .

” I said , biting into my third pizza slice .

Taylor let out a low whistle as he gulped some of his fizzy drink down .

” So … That’s why things between them two are weird as hell ? ” He said , running his fingers through

his hair .

” Yeah .

” I said , sighing heavily .

” Well , now I’m wondering who has it worse , you or I … ” He muttered .

I gave him a sympathetic smile .

” For what it’s worth , I think things will get better .

” I offered .

” So , who will you pick ? ” He asked picking up a few fries .

My eyes widened as I stared up at him , my heart thundering at his words .

” Pick ? ” Taylor nodded , his warm eyes full of concern and curiosity .

” Yeah , because it’s obvious from everything you just told me that you’re going to have to pick one …

” My heart skipped a beat and I nodded .

” Yeah , that has been on my mind … but how am I supposed to do that without feeling guilty ? ” I

asked the one question that haunted my thoughts .
