Taylor and I watched another movie after, we talked about our sucky situations as we ate all the snacks and even grabbed some beer from the fridge. Comforting each other when we needed it and laughing at our lame attempts at singing. Yes, we were both tone-deaf and sounded horrifying, but hey we had fun and lots of giggles.
Taylor was an amazing friend, and although we weren’t close as children, it felt like I had known him forever. I mean, I did, but not like this.
The credits of the second movie had now ended and the TV had switched off, but me and Taylor were still awake, lying side by side on the bed, staring at the shadows that were cast across the ceiling thanks to the moonlight shining through the cracks in the curtains and the tree branches.
"Raven…"
"Yeah?" I said, yawning as I rubbed my eyes sleepily.
"You know, when we were little… When I was weird and awkward, that shy kid no

LIAM I was in my office with Damon. This was probably one of the fucking rare times we were completely alone and the urge to get rid of him wasn’t fucking overtaking me. The entire table and part of the floor were littered with papers and photographs. I couldn’t believe I was in this fucking situation, where we were trying to rule out those who had full alibis around the time of the murders. Zack, Damon and I were the only ones working on this and it was fucking a lot, maybe we needed to bring in a few more people. I know Dad offered and I might take him up on that. Mom had aunty Monica and Azura to take care of. Maybe Raven… I licked my lips remembering what happened earlier... Perfect was not even enough to describe it... She was fucking divine, and that pretty little pussy of hers was so bloody fine… Feeling myself twitch in my pants, I frowned pushing the thought away. Fuck.

DAMONI ran into the Jacobs home a minute or so behind Liam, only to see him running down the stairs with Raven’s body in his arms."What the…""I need to get her to the hospital. She’s injured and I think there’s poison in her system. She isn’t healing! Her mom’s dead." He said, the fear and worry in his eyes tearing at my own heart.I nodded, knowing he was the fastest to get her there… but to my surprise, he held her out to me, his cerulean eyes full of pain."Make sure she’s ok." He said, his voice hoarse.My heart thudded as I took her in my arms. She was tiny and didn’t weigh much at all, her head falling against my chest. I nodded, not saying anything then turning and running from the house.I knew he wanted to find whoever did it, and I could see the pain in his eyes as he let her go.I could feel her blood coating my arm, which meant she wasn’t healing.

LIAM I tried to tell myself that he was just holding her hand out of concern, that he was her friend too... But I couldn’t deny the irritation that was flaring up inside of me... That anger threatening to lash out. I tried to focus on Raven, letting the tingles that coursed through me at our touch calm me. "You deserve this?" He repeated, frowning. Yeah, so, the three notes… The first said; ‘Who’s next?’ The second; ‘Two down, I wonder how many more to go?’ And now this. There’s nothing really in them." I said, pausing. "You deserved this, is probably the most to go on." "True, but who do they mean? Her mom? Raven? Do they have an issue with Raven?" Damon mused. I frowned, clenching my jaw. "These murders started when Raven came back to town... There may be a connection there." I said, suddenly thinking he had a point. Damon looked surprised at that, before becoming thoughtful. "Good point. Do you think we should track
Caged Between The Beta & Alpha 60. His Ridiculous Lie
RAVEN I hated myself for this, I hated how I was making him feel. He was no less a man than Liam, he did not deserve this. Liam walked out, giving Damon a curt nod and shutting the door behind him. “Hey, how are you feeling?" Damon asked, about to place the gorgeous bouquet of purple flowers down when I reached out and took them. "I'm great and these are beautiful!" I said, looking up at him. I'm such a horrible person… He bent down, wrapping his arms around me tightly. I hugged him back, his comforting scent and those tingles rushing through me. I could hear his racing heart and the guilt inside of me only grew. I glanced at Aunty Red, seeing the sadness in her eyes too, before she looked away, smoothly busying herself with Azura’s hair. Damon moved back and jerked his thumb at the paper bag. "I brought you breakfast." He said, turning to Azura and raising his eyebrows playfully before flashing her one o

RAVEN I was still fuming, and Taylor breaking into snickers every few minutes didn’t help. Goddess, I can’t believe I fell for that. Urgh, I'm so angry right now. Liam had mind-linked not long ago to ask everyone to report to the packhouse meeting room. Me, Taylor and Nina, who had come to my room with more vases, now walked down the stairs together. "I wonder what it’s about..." Taylor murmured. "Maybe they found something?" I said as we entered the large hall that was extremely full. "Maybe." Taylor said, glancing around at the number of pack members that were gathered here. From my quick estimate, I think two thirds of the pack were here… I saw Liam standing there at the head of the room, talking to Zack, well mind linking… Liam was just nodding, his arms crossed with one hand on his chin. The frown on his face made me realise that he was still very much cold towards others. Although at times, I saw him bring those w

TAYLORIt was the following day and I had decided to bite the bullet and go see Channing again. Shit. I wasn’t ready for this, but I had to do it. Taking Mama’s flapjack and shepherd’s pie with me was not enough… but this was the time I needed to do this. Anna was going to be out and I needed to do this when she wasn’t around.Goddess’ and God’s above, lend me your strength of courage and bravery because I need as much as I can get.Reaching Channing’s home, I did the doorbell, before opening the door and entering."Channing?!""Tay! In here!" His voice came.I quickly went to the kitchen, placing the food on the worktop and entered the living room.It was warm and cosy, decorated in browns and navy. Channing was on the sofa, remote in hand and holding a bottle of J2O orange."Grab yourself a drink and come join me, I was going to watch the replay of last night’s boxing mat
Caged Between The Beta & Alpha 63. Troubles Of The Heart
ROBYN It was mid-afternoon. The weather was cool yet the sun was shining brightly and the windows were wide open. The sound of people shouting, some of the boys playing ball and a few girls laughing in a room down the hall, filled my ears. If I didn’t know better, I would never have thought such an environment would be shadowed by the eyes of a killer. Right now, everything seems so normal. Raven and I were seated on my bed as I silently observed the girl in front of me. I don’t mean to be a bitch, but seeing Raven pay so much attention to Liam and literally just ignore Damon was fucking breaking my heart. At the same time, I wanted to go over to her and shout at her for doing that. Did she not see that he was fucking hurting? I wish I could just comfort him, but I knew that we couldn’t just be friends, not with that situation. Me staying away was for the best. I felt like I had been cheated too… I remember the first time I told him ou

RAVENWhat Robyn said was so damn true and I knew I needed to do this, I needed to talk to Damon. I couldn’t keep hurting him like this. I won’t wait any longer, I'm going to go and I'm going to talk to him right now. I can’t carry on doing this…I was now back in my room, pacing restlessly. I decided to mind link Damon and ask if I could come to see him. I took a deep breath, my fists clenched. My heart was racing against my ribcage, painfully fast.‘Damon?’‘Hey, everything ok?’‘Can’t I link you if there’s not a reason?’ I asked, feeling guilty, thinking I didn’t mind link him as often. No wonder he thought that.‘Course you can.’ But we both knew the truth.‘Well, I wanted to meet up with you, like to actually talk. Can I come around?’ I had to try my best to sound normal.‘Sure, me and Zack are actually dealing with

Bonus Chapter – Babysitting Our Pups LIAM "Damon, watch it!" I growled as he kicked the thermos over. Yes, it was closed, but it fell, making a loud sound that made Theo, who had just fallen asleep, wake up with a start. "Fuck guys, can you two not even mind six pups?" Zack asked, raising an eyebrow as he stepped into Damon’s lounge from the kitchen area eating a fucking sandwich. "Make yourself useful and feed Carter." He raised an eyebrow. "I don’t know how." Damon, who was currently rocking Artemis and Ares, raised an eyebrow. "Seriously, Zack?" Zack simply smirked, dropping onto the sofa. "I'm only here because Tay said to help you two, but I have no clue about kids." He switched the TV on, only for the volume to disturb the two pups who were sleeping on the sofa. Jayce became completely fresh as he stared around him. Our mates had gone for a spa day out and here we were with these six, plus

Bonus Chapter – Home & Family ROBYN The Westwood quintuplets were born eleven days before our little princess. Artemis Luna Nicholson. She was beautiful, with grey-blue eyes, black hair and lashes that curled up perfectly. My beautiful little baby girl. She was a good baby who slept well, I often had to wake her up to feed her myself. Damon was the perfect partner to have. He willingly took care of her and me, it never felt like he didn’t want to do it or let on that he was tired. Even after a long day of work, he didn’t let it affect his care for me or our baby. Being a new Alpha, there were many on the council who didn’t like it. He was the second non-alpha born to take the title of ‘Alpha’ and it was something he had to prove that he was good at. I know the king didn’t like him due to his involvement with Kiara, however at the council he was fair and just, not letting any of his personal opinions blind his judgement of seeing Damon’s capabiliti

Kiara encouraged, holding her hand, her purple aura swirling around her as Raven breathed steadily, pain contorting her face as she pushed. "And again! Almost here, babe, you’re doing amazingly." My own heart was racing and seeing her in this much agony was tearing me to shreds inside. She was going to have to do this five times? Fuck this wasn’t fair. "I'm ok." Raven whispered to me; her face scrunched in pain before she pushed once more. I caressed her clammy forehead, my other hand holding hers tightly. Her nails dug into my skin, drawing blood, but I wished I could take away the pain she was in. "Almost there, Luna." One of the midwives added. We were in Kiara’s pack, having spent the last ten days here. Raven let out a scream as she pushed with all her might, and the sound of a cry filled the room. I kissed her forehead as her

Bonus Chapter – The Struggle FOUR MONTHS LATER… RAVEN Pregnancy was hard. I felt exhausted, I could barely walk, sit up, or anything. My back ached continuously and I was actually going to be leaving for Kia’s pack in a week or two as I was nearing the end of my pregnancy and everyone agreed I needed her by my side. For her to come here was a lot harder, so Liam and I would go there whilst Uncle El and Aunty Red would run the pack in our absence. News had spread that the Blood Moon Pack’s Luna was going to have quintuplets, and I knew it was more of a spectacle than anything else. I refused to go to events, I didn’t want to see anyone. Goddess! I'm not something to stare at! I looked over at Robyn, with her normal-sized bump, she was due around the same time as me. She was further along than I was, but due to mine being a multiple pregnancy, I was probably going to have them first. "You ok, babe?" She asked me. I nodded

Bonus Chapter – Breaking The News LIAM Two hours had passed, and I was still stunned… I vaguely heard Damon tell the doctor to not pass the news onto anyone, that Raven and I would do that ourselves. I can’t believe I fucking fainted… but it still can’t be real right? Five pups? Goddess. "Are you ok?" Raven asked me, cupping my face as I sat on the hospital bed. The sparks from her touch rippling through me. I closed my eyes, pulling her between my legs and resting my head against her breasts for a moment. "Yeah… Fuck, I mean, I should be asking you that." I looked up at her concerned, my eyes skipping over her tiny frame; how the fuck was that even going to work? I ran my hands down her waist, despite the shock there was a spark of excitement inside of me. Raven and I were actually having a pup together, scratch that – PUPS. I looked up into her gorgeous eyes, raking my fingers through her hair. "How the hell a

It was just Anna who couldn’t stomach it. Yet, she was strictly not allowed on Blue Moon territory. When she found out about Channing’s new position, she wanted him back. Disgusting. I hoped I didn’t have many run-ins with her, I was better off without it. She had cheated on Channing when he was an amazing, selfless man. I will always love Aaron, and just the thought of him made my heart ache, but I was able to love Channing too. Perhaps it would never reach the level of love I had for Aaron, but it was enough. "Want to visit his grave tomorrow?" He asked, pulling me onto the sofa next to him. He was always so understanding. Despite both his legs being destroyed in the battle of Hecate’s Betrayal years ago, he had not let it get to him. This man was strong, bra

Bonus Chapter – A Nicholson’s Family Dinner DAMON It had been six months since Kiara and Alejandro’s wedding, and whilst the king and queen had gone off on a four-week honeymoon, their children had resided at the Black Storm Pack. I heard from Liam that Rayhan had gotten stressed out with Dante just as much as Liam had with Azura when Uncle El and Aunty Red had gone on their trip. Luckily for me, I got to spend time with my beautiful mate without any kids around, but I was still secretly praying Liam had a kid soon. I did love kids. They are damn cute, and when Robyn was ready, I didn’t mind having one myself. My mate, one who was so damn hardworking and organised. Speaking of… She stepped out of the bathroom with a cloud of steam, wearing maroon lingerie and a black satin cap on her head. "Don’t look at me like that, I just showered." She replied, despite her heart racing. I tilted my head, winking at her. "You need to keep yo

Bonus Chapter – A Day Minding Azura LIAM Mom and Dad had been gone for over two weeks already, which meant Azura was here with us. Raven had gone early that morning to Kiara’s pack as they had some shopping to do for the wedding. I don’t get how women’s shopping never finishes, but if they’re happy shopping, what more could I ask for? Anyway, since Raven was gone, so I was stuck minding my adorable little sister. The only problem was that she’s a four-year-old pup who has asked way too many questions and still picks her boogers, although she told me a few weeks ago she doesn’t… Lie. She had been fairly good to be fair, although she gets a bit emotional every time she gets off a video call with Mom. "So Wiyam, what we do now?" She asked, rubbing her nose. I raised my eyebrows, it was past five in the afternoon. "Well, I'm thinking, how about we make a nice meal for when Raven gets back? It will be a nice surprise
