Page 150 of Caged Between the Beta & Alpha
I was standing there, arms crossed, watching as Damon and Zack questioned Owen, or should I say tried. Liam had been gone for about twenty minutes. I hoped he was okay.
“What did you do with the eyes?” Zack asked coldly.
There was only one set of teeth in the jar, and there were no eyeballs anywhere. Even when we had searched the entire bedroom, the thought that those might have been Mum’s made me sick.
“I’m fucking telling you it’s not me!”Owen roared, his eyes blazing with anger.
“Calm the fuck down. We’ll ask the questions,” Damon growled.
“Let’s wait for Liam or Uncle El to ask him under Alpha command,” I sighed. Something just felt… off.
“What, enjoying this, bitch?” Owen growled.
“No, now shut the hell up. Things were found in your room, Owen, so obviously, you will be questioned. No one’s hurt you or-”
“Liam fucking broke my nose! Bitch! I was fucking thrown in a fucking cell! What more can they fucking do?”
“Keep it the hell down!” Damon growled, slamming his hands on the bar.
“Open the fucking door. I’ll put him in his place,” Zack growled, his eyes blazing.
“Piss off, you fucking wanker!” Owen swore, giving Zack the finger.
I closed my eyes as Zack snatched the keys from Damon, opening the door. I knew what was going to happen before I even heard the sound of his fist meeting Owen’s face.
“Alright, Zack, back it up. We need him conscious for his questioning,” Damon said, glaring at the asshole.Owen was just a cockroach, the type you just can’t get rid of.
“Bastards!”
“You can stay here for the night. One of the Alphas will question you soon,” Damon said as Zack came out of the cell, wiping his bloody hand on his jeans. Owen didn’t say anything, clutching his bloody nose.
We exchanged looks as we walked away. He wasn’t going to admit it. Asking him under Alpha command was going to be the only way.
“He’s so fucking antagonising,” Damon growled, pinching the bridge of his nose. I smiled slightly.
“For you to get mad, it takes a lot.”
“Yeah, he’s a fucking prick,” Zack growled, pissed off.
“Okay, maybe we should all just call it a night, although I want to be there when they question him,” I said, sighing.
“It’s late, but how about we grab some food and wait for Alpha or Liam?” Zack suggested
Even though both Zack and Taylor were fully clued in on the curse, I appreciated that they didn’t make a big deal out of it, carrying on as normal. A true Delta couple. We nodded, walking back towards where the party had taken place not long ago. The omegas were clearing up, and guards were still stationed around for everyone’s safety.
We grabbed some food, despite it being cold, and I piled extra onto mine in case Liam returned. The other two raised an eyebrow at my huge, overloaded plate, but I simply glared at them. That was enough to get them to stop looking at my food. We headed back towards headquarters, eating along the way.
“There they are!” Damon said.
I turned to see Liam walking alongside his father. He was in jeans, a t-shirt, and a jacket. I frowned. Had he shifted, or did he just dirty his clothes somehow? Even though he was on wolfsbane… shifting shouldn’t be possible, but he had mind-linked, and I couldn’t put anything past the darkness. He looked at me, and my heart skipped a beat, thinking,He had fought through it…
I smiled slightly, holding the plate out to him.
“Hungry?”
“Ah, now it makes sense why she got so much food,” Damon teased lightly. I glanced at him, and he smiled at me before looking away.
It was going to take time for him to heal and for me to stop feeling guilty, but at least I knew I wasn’t stringing him along.
