Page 87 of Caged Between the Beta & Alpha
“Don’t act like you fucking care! Don’t even utter his name! Get out!”Dad growled.
In a flash, he was in front of the bars, rattling them hard with one hand, not caring about the silver that burned his skin. I stepped back, my heart thundering at his sudden move, but what alarmed me the most was the fact he was missing an arm. He saw my gaze on his arm and sneered at me.
“What? Happy to see what your Alpha’s done to me?”
“Hey! Calm down, or I’ll tell the Alpha,” Ben warned.
My heart was racing as I stepped further back. His arm…
The boys’ words rang in my head,
“This blood is your dad’s...”
Why hadn’t they told me?
“See? All you do is bring trouble to us all; Renji… me… your mother… I hope you are happy, Raven, because well done. You got what you wanted. You got me locked up,” he spat.
I shook my head slowly. I didn’t know why Liam had ripped his arm off, but…
“I didn’t know you’d be locked up... But you must have triggered him off-”
“Don’t fucking act like there’s a reason! You are the reason!” He shouted, slamming his good hand against the bar. “You are useless. There’s nothing special about you! As for your mates, no wonder the Goddess gave you two because she knew exactly what kind of whore you are!” I flinched at those words, my heart thundering.
“Raven…” Ben muttered, trying to pull me back. “Let’s leave.”
“Useless!” Dad hissed
Don’t let his words get to you.
“I wish I had gotten rid of you when you were a child! I wish I didn’t have to see that disgusting face of yours before me! I wish-”
A sinister, menacing growl ripped through the air, echoing from every corner of the place and making me spin around. The heavy, dark aura surged around me. My heart was thumping as I stared at the man who had stepped out of the shadows. Ben flinched, moving back and cowering under his Alpha’s power. Liam’s aura was stronger than ever. The chilling darkness that emanated from him was spreading to every corner of the cold cells and making my stomach churn unpleasantly.
“I told you… that you willnottalk to him without me,” Liam’s ominous voice came. His voice was deeper and harsher than ever. His dark navy eyes, which looked almost black, stared into mine. The anger and rage that burned within them were so intense that I felt my knees go weak.
“Finish me off. It’s what you both want,” Dad muttered.
Don’t trigger him off, Dad.
“Good idea,” Liam said icily. “Especially after you just talked to her like that.”
“No!” I said just as Liam moved forward incredibly fast. I blocked his way, my back hitting the bars, and bit my lip as the silver burnt me. I spread my arms and shook my head. “Liam. No.”
“Don’t play the innocent party, Raven, we all know you want this,” Dad spat.
“Move aside, love,” Liam warned me quietly.
“No,” I said, shaking my head.
Liam’s eyes darkened, and his chest was heaving with suppressed rage, but even then, I could tell he was getting angrier.
My chest was heaving. I knew if I moved then, he would kill dad. Even if I was ending things with him, Liam couldn’t go around and kill people.
“Move. Aside.” His eyes blazed, and before my very eyes, the whites of his eyes began to turn black.
I gasped in horror as I stared into his completely black pits. A cold smirk crossed his face as he tilted his head to the side, looking at me, but before I could even say anything, his hand darted out and wrapped around my throat in a death grip, cutting off my airway. The sparks of the mate bond rippled through me, but Liam was unmoved. The darkness around him was only growing. My heart was thundering as a shiver ran down my spine. What was happening to him?
