” Is anyone going to speak ? ” Aunty Red said , placing a tray of snacks and drinks o n the coffee table , her eyes full of concern as she saw Uncle El frowning .
We were all seated in the living room of the Westwood home .
” Come here .
” He said , taking her hand and pulling her into his lap , trapping her i n his arms and kissing her neck .
I was sitting on the sofa opposite , with Liam on one side and Damon on the other .
Azura was watching TV and I was proud to see she was playing with the plushie I had got for her .
From here I could see she was enjoying eating her boogers .
Aww , soo cute ! ” Care to explain how the fu- ” Aunty Red placed her finger on Uncle El’s lips , cutting him off .
He smirked slightly , biting down on it .
Hot couple goals ! ” How the hell did you bend those bars ? ” H e continued once he let go of his mate’s finger .
I looked at Liam .
Okay big boy , explain that .
I crossed my arms as all eyes turned to Liam , who simply leant forward , picking u pa chocolate bar from the tray .
” 1 ” Liam , your dad asked you a question ..
Aunty Red said pointedly .
” What bars are we talking about anyway ?
” ” The ones in the lower cells .
They are made to withstand our kind and in no way are they able to bend … considering how thick they are .
” Uncle El said , frowning .
Liam shrugged , ripping open the chocolate wrapper with his teeth .
My stomach fluttered and I swallowed ; I had t o admit , he looked : sexy ..
Goddess why did something so simple make me feel all funny .
Liam bit into the chocolate , but it was clear his parents saw his attitude as disobedient , no matter how hot he looked biting into it .
His eyes flicked to me , I felt my cheeks burn when he gave me the faintest hint of a smirk before glancing back at his parents .
” I guess I’m just stronger than your typical Alpha .
” He said .
” Inhumanely strong .
” Damon said quietly , my eyes snapped to him .
Did he have a death wish ? ‘ We need them to know … and we can’t tell them .
‘ He said through the link , his soft blue eyes staring into mine .
‘ True … ‘ ” That’s not fucking possible .
Only Alejandro could possibly do that .
” Uncle E I said icily .
” Guess he’s not the only strong one around then .
” Liam remarked , shrugging as he licked his soft lips , taking another bite of the chocolate .
” And Raven’s wrist , was it due to you not knowing your strength that you ended up hurting your own mate ? ” Uncle El hissed .
Aunty Red snapped to him , poking her eyes out at him .
I had a feeling he wasn’t meant to have said that .
I knew she had
told him ! ” Oo ! Mate ? ” Azura jumped up as she stared at me and Liam .
” Waven ! Wiyam ! You’re mates ? ” I gave her a small smile , but I didn’t reply .
I glanced at Damon and he gave me that small smile he always did .
I hated this …
” Ok Azura , come on .
Aunty Moni is in the other room .
You can watch TV there .
Aunty Red said before motioning Azura to follow her .
Uncle El glared at his son as Azura followed Aunty Red out , still giggling as she looked between Liam and I.
” We are going to have Waven and Wiyam babies … ” Was the last thing she said before she disappeared .
Goddess that child ! ” I … I didn’t realise I was hurting her .
” His ‘ I don’t care ‘ attitude vanished and he looked down at my wrist .
” I’m … I’ll make i t up to you .
” ” Yeah , you will .
But before that , how did you not realise ? You ripped Haru’s arm off Liam .
That is no joke ! You are Alpha .
You can’t do things without a trial .
Without your Beta , your Delta and your pack knowing why .
” Uncle El said as Aunty Red returned .
I passed the bar to Damon , giving him a smile before ripping open my packet and putting a button in my mouth .
” Your father is correct .
One for One .
How the fuck do you think anyone can be happy where the dynamics are so fucked up ? ” Liam’s cold voice came i n my head .
It was them two for me , so I didn’t get it too … I pushed the thoughts away .
” About Dad … He flipped when he found out I visited Renji’s grave .
” Uncle El said , his eyes flashing , I swallowed .
He was as scary as Liam at times … or even scarier … I looked at Liam , who nodded .
” You got this .
” Damon added softly .
