Caged Between the beta and alpha

Chapter 103

Two hours had passed and Liam still wasn’t back … After showering , we filled Aunty Red in on

everything over some hot drinks . Although she was keeping me company , the mention of Hank

Williamson had made her go into deep thought , so I gave the couple some privacy , calling it a night . I

had pondered on everything , mind linking Damon and Taylor , asking how he and Zack were doing

now .

I had texted Kiara for a bit as well , but I knew it was late and having three little chibis to look after

wasn’t easy . I sighed , staring up at the night sky through the open curtains , smiling sadly . We had

caught the killer , but Renji’s grave … what she had done made me sick . I wrapped my arms around

my legs , burying my head in my knees . She had thrown his remains away … the last I had o f him …

No sound escaped me , yet tears trickled down my cheeks

A short while later , the door opened , then Liam’s scent mixed with earth and dust hit me . I quickly

wiped my tears away , looked up and our eyes met . He came over , placed the case he was carrying

on the bed , and was about to pull me into his arms when he hesitated , glancing at himself , before

quickly pulling his dirty top off and scooping me up into his arms . ” Why did you take so long ? ” I

asked , unable to stop myself . ” I needed to make things better .

” He said quietly , his fingers weaving into my hair a s he stared down at me , kissing me softly . I

looked at him , resting my head on his chest , closing my eyes as I clung to him , enjoying the warmth

of his embrace and those pleasant sparks of the bond . ” I brought you something . ” ” He said softly . ”

Hmm ? ” ” I cleared Renji’s grave out .

That place is no longer tainted … I know that she got rid of … his remains … but always remember that

he’s always been a part of you . ” He said softly caressing my cheek as he stared into my eyes . ” He

lives on as a part of you bitesize , and no one could take that away from you ; not your parents , not

Nina , no one . 11 My heart thudded at his words , and I realised how true that was . Renji’s eye was

still a part of me , I still had him by m y side . ” But I still thought you might want something more of him

, so I did a little digging and found this . ” He unwrapped one arm from around me and reached for the

case , opening it up with one hand .

My stomach did a flip as I stared at the blue baby shawl . I knew what this was : Renji’s things … a

case of his memories ! I moved forward , taking the blanket out . The smell of old mothballs lingered

but m y heart soared , Renji’s belongings . Liam kissed my forehead softly , running his fingers through

my hair as I stared at the box of treasure before me .

” I’ll go shower . ” He said softly . I glanced up at him , nodding , knowing he was giving me a moment

alone . His lips pressed against mine , softly sending sparks coursing through me before he moved

away , leaving me a little lightheaded . I turned back to the case , slowly taking each item out .

Photographs … I looked through them , my heart thudding loudly .

He looked like me … There were so many similarities … Although I knew he had been a couple years

old , it was clear he was a lot smaller than he should have been for his age and he was extremely thin .

There were a few pictures where he had a head full of black hair , but there were where he was bald . I

smiled sadly at many the picture . Was it selfish to wish he was alive ?

I just hope he’s in a good place . Did heaven exist ? 2 I hugged the picture to my chest , tears spilling

down my cheeks as I rocked myself gently . Renji … I had almost finished looking at the pictures when

I stared at the last one .

Mom and Dad were sitting on either side o f Renji , who was holding a baby in his arms , with Mom

supporting him , all smiling at the camera … Me . That was me . Before our family fell apart … One by

one , I took the things out of the case , some items of clothing , a small teddy bear … It felt bittersweet

… This moment … I would always cherish these items .

I slowly replaced them , keeping one photo aside to keep close to me and looked down at the case .

Liam must have gone to the attic at my parents house , my heart warmed at his thoughtful gesture . He

came out of the bathroom , in a pair of grey sweatpants , which made him look far too sexy . My core

clenched , my eyes dipping to those abs and the bulge in his pants . Remembering how he made me

feel The ache between my legs was only now fading … ***

His hair was dried , crearly he had delayed to give me time alone . I placed the case on the floor near

the bed , my eyes raking over him , wanting him to come over so I could snuggle into his arms or

pounce him . ” Want to say something ? ” He asked , running his fingers through his hair . Damn a guy

with messy hair is so sexy … not to mention the volume in it …

” Nothing at all … ” I said , trying not to stare at how hot he looked … He smirked , coming over ,

making my heart flutter when he climbed onto the bed , my chest rising and falling heavily as his scent

made me giddy . ” You don’t need to say anything … ” He whispered , leaning over me , his magnetic

deep blue eyes boring into mine .

” For me to know what you want , Love . ” His lips crashed against mine in a hot , passionate kiss . I

pulled him down , rolling us over until I was on top and kissing him harder . His hands roamed m y body

, as he dominated the kiss , his hand threading into my hair .

” Thank you for doing this for me … ‘ I whispered through the link . ‘ Always … ‘ His reply came as his

tongue slipped into my mouth , wanting to taste every inch of my mouth , making me moan softly …

Mine . Three days had passed , and everyone had been made aware of Nina’s truth . Her mother had

passed away when she was a child , it had actually been after that when Nina had wanted to learn if

she had any other family in the pack . Her grandmother , who was still alive , told them that she knew

who her father was , but in fear of Nina being treated horribly , she had kept it a secret .

She had no idea what Nina had been up to or how she found out . Apparently , Hank himself had made

it clear he wanted nothing to do with the child . Nina’s grandmother had been asked a few questions

under Alpha Command as Uncle El did not want to risk anything . However , she was indeed innocent

and knew nothing It was nice to put the entire thing behind u .

With spring now blessing us with the blooming of flowers and the leaves beginning to return to the trees

, everything seemed so much better … I stared down at Renji’s grave , the soil was completely fresh ,

and a line of pebbled stones lined it . Liam’s doing … I smiled gently , placing my hand on the soft earth

. I looked at Sparks , smiling at the plastic covering Liam had covered him with . Trust him to worry

about him getting dirty … Liam was one of the rare men who was so thoughtful and clean .

He’s adorable . I am lucky that I have people who love m e ; Uncle El , Aunty Red , both of whom were

really in a way like parents to me . It was Aunty Red who helped me when I first got my periods and I

had been acting like I was dying . I knew what they were , but hey , I like being dramatic . She was the

one who got me a few bras for my thirteenth birthday and joked that I needed them now .

She was the one who was there if I ever had a question … Aunty Angela was great too , even when

she moved , she kept in touch , but Aunty Red was the true mother figure for me – our Luna , our

Queen . Uncle El shouldered every burden and never let his life spiral out of control . He was strong

and caring towards us all , leading the pack fairly .

Then there was Liam ; my life , my mate , m y love . I didn’t have any doubts , I knew w e were meant

to be together . It was just so right , I only wished that Damon hadn’t gotten hurt in the process of our

love story .

Damon … He was the true hero who sacrificed everything for everyone ; for his loved ones and for the

man he considered his brother , despite his ill – treatment … The most loving and selfless person I

knew . Damon would always be special to me . Our friendship , that bond , was intact . Although I knew

things between him and Liam may never be the same again … I hope that they’ll be ok when time

heals those wounds .

I looked down at Renji’s tombstone and smiled gently , a soft breeze whispering through my hair . I just

hope that the moon goddess can heal his heart and give him the happiness he deserves . He was aNôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

pawn in this game , used by the gods . Sadly , in all of this , he suffered as much as Liam , and

ultimately more than Liam .

Liam’s curse is broken , he has me , his family , and soon I knew he would have his title . But Damon ,

in the end , was alone . I stood up and stared up at the dazzling sun , shielding my eyes We broke your

curse Helios , with kindness , compassion and love . Those are the things that will conquer all … We

are a pack , a family , and we will always be one . We will always be here for each other no matter what

comes our way , because united we are at our strongest .
