Caged Between the beta and alpha

Chapter 7

LIAM

It was evening , Mom had mind linked me to stop by only for me to realise she had tricked me . ” Me

alone with her ? ” I asked , looking at the little pumpkin . ” She’s a good girl , Liam .

” Mom said dismissively , Dad smirked , ” Yup , a real angel .

” He added , not sounding very convincing , ” We could do this tomorrow ? ” ! ” No baby , we are going

” Mom said firmly . They were going to visit some lone wolves who lived near our pack territory ,

Considering the murder ,

Mom and Dad decided to check in on them , and here I was stuck with my little sister Azura – Aunty

Indy’s girl that Mom carried . ” Wiyam , I be good . ” She blinked those large blue eyes as she assured

me . No , that was an alarm bell right there .

No kid who says they will be good will be good and I had seen the devil , Dante . Kids were scary …

Don’t mess with them . ” So , since you’re visiting a few elderly wolves … you should be home by

eleven ? ” I asked .

Mom smirked . ” Yes , hopefully . Relax Liam but I do think we will be back before eleven . It’s only six

pm now . ” She said , glancing at the clock o n the wall . ” Anything I need to know …

” No , just keep her away from the sugary stuff . There’s pizza in the oven . It should b e done in twenty

minutes . Eat , get her ready for bed , tell her a story , then she should knock off .

” Mom said , grabbing her jacket before meeting Azura with a hug and kisses . The fact that it had been

just me and my twin , Kiara , growing up ; we didn’t have younger siblings , so seeing Mom like this

was strange .

Not to mention , I wasn’t here for Azura’s entire three years of life . Was she really going to sleep ?

Didn’t look like it … ” Oh yeah Liam , Raven was saying she wanted to move to the packhouse , get

something sorted for her .

I was going to tell you earlier , but then with everything that happened last night , I wasn’t in the right

headspace . ” Mom said , just when she was about to step outside .

” Sure . ” I said , emotionlessly . Raven at the packhouse ? Fuck , that’s where I was staying … I

couldn’t deal with this , not when just looking at her made me want to go over to her and claim her as

mine .

Once the door shut after Mom and Dad , I looked at the little girl who now had her finger shoved up her

nose . ” Don’t do that . It’s gross . ” I said , crouching down in front of her .

” Do what ? ” She said , taking her finger out of her nose and … fuck ! She ate it ! ” Azura , pumpkin ,

you don’t eat that . ” ” Eat what ? ” She asked . Did she not realise what she had just did ?

” Ok , let’s wash your hands … ” She frowned as I tugged her to the kitchen . Goddess kids were gross

. ” I washed my hands after I went to the toilet , Wiyam . ” ” Yeah , but you were picking your bogeys .

” I said , lifting her onto the worktop . ” Oh , they’re tasty . ” She giggled . I cringed . Were we this

disgusting as kids ? ” Alright , how about we get the pizza and watch a movie while you eat ?

” I suggested . Hopefully , she’ll fall asleep in the process . I took a tray out , grabbing what we needed

before taking the pizza out . ” Wiyam , can I have Coca – Cola ? ” She asked , as I took a can from the

fridge for myself .

I’m sure Mom said no sugar … ” Aren’t you too little ? ” ” No , I’m allowed half a can . ” She said ,

looking up at me with those large eyes of hers . That’s true . We were werewolves .

I guess pups were more tolerant to caffeine how adults would be to alcohol and stuff . ” Ah . Ok . ” I

shrugged , grabbing another one and placing it on the tray before carrying it to the living room . Placing

the food down , I put a slice on her plate and asked what she wanted to watch on TV .

” I watch … that ! ” She pointed at a show and I put it on for her . Sitting back , we began eating and my

mind wandered to Raven and what she had ‘ said earlier .

It was hard seeing her , yet all I wanted was t o see her all the fucking time . The urge to just pull her

into my arms and tell her to fucking accept me and me alone was so damn strong . But I didn’t really

deserve that , not after how I shut her out for the last three years .

‘ What are the autopsy results ? Anything yet ? ” I asked Zack through the link . ‘ Poison , but the traces

are so light we barely picked them up . ‘ ” Wiyam , coke ! ” I opened the can , putting a straw into it for

her as I held it out to her distractedly . ‘ Of ? What did it include ? ‘

” They still working on that , but there were traces of silver and wolfsbane mixed in too . ‘ ‘ Get pictures

of the mutilation , exact time of death , and whatever else you can before returning the body to the

family … ‘ So soon ?

‘ Zack sounded surprised . ‘ His parents wanted him back … If we can’t get any more information from

him , then it’s best we accept their wishes .

There were a few scents around him , I’ll question those wolves tomorrow . ‘ HOYASH ‘ Ok Alpha . ‘ I

closed the link to see Azura sucking on the straw – like there was no tomorrow . Shit , how much did

she have ?

I pulled the can out of her iron grip to see it was practically empty . Well , fuck . ” That was tasty . ” She

said in awe , shivering from the fizziness , before she gave me a big smile . ” I love coke . ” A sliver of

doubt entered my mind , and I wondered was she really allowed it ?

I got the answer to that ten minutes later … ” I want to go out ! Let’s go for a walk , Wiyam ! ” She was

hyper and acting like a rabid dog right now .

” Wiyam ! ” She pulled at my sleeve before biting it and pulling my arm . ” Out ! ” ” Mom said bed ,

Azura . ” I said , about to pick her up when she tensed and I could hear her pounding heart . Shit ,

she was going to cry ! 11 ” Ok fine , let’s go for a walk . ” Seriously , I hope this wore her out , I guess I

couldn’t really complain . What idiot gives a kid coke just because they said they are allowed it .. ? Me .

That’s who . Two hours later ,

Azura still had not settled down . She was beyond upset , crying and asking for Mom . I did text Mom ,

who said they had a little way to go , but thanks to an accident they were in the midst of a traffic jam ,

and they couldn’t really abandon the car .

At first , Azura had been happy and running around , but then she started getting upset , and now she Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

was out of control . ” I want Mama !

” She was now screaming in my arms . Damn kids were loud . ” Look Azura , how about we go back

home ” MAMA !!! ” Fuck ! My ears were going to burst .

She was trying to escape my hold , hitting my shoulder as she cried . If Mom saw the state she was in ,

she was going to castrate me . ” Need help ? ” Raven’s sexy voice came from behind me .

My heart skipped a fucking beat as I turned towards her . As much as I wanted to refuse her help , I

couldn’t handle the pup in my arms . I didn’t reply , watching her .

Her eyes weren’t on me but on Azura , giving her a gentle smile , although she was crying too much to

even pay attention . With Raven , she always had that smile on her face .

You wouldn’t think she had snapped at me in my office earlier by the look of her now , but it was one of

the things I loved about her most growing up .

She had been a lot smaller than Kiara , but she always held her hand , taking care of her , making sure

she never stumbled or hurt herself . Raven had always been tiny , but the size of her heart was fucking

huge .

She always held such a positive and loving energy around herself that even when I sensed her

sadness , it would be accompanied by the biggest smile . She began walking over to us and I looked

her over appreciatively .

She looked good i n an oversize off – shoulder knitted jumper dress , that draped off one shoulder , and

she wore thigh – high boots underneath . I couldn’t fucking speak , trying not to look at her thighs that

were drawing my attention . ” Eyes up here , Westwood . ” Moonlight Muse Author ” Thank you for
