Caged Between the beta and alpha novel Chapter 7

LIAM

It was evening , Mom had mind linked me to stop by only for me to realise she had tricked me . ” Me alone with her ? ” I asked , looking at the little pumpkin . ” She’s a good girl , Liam .

” Mom said dismissively , Dad smirked , ” Yup , a real angel .

” He added , not sounding very convincing , ” We could do this tomorrow ? ” ! ” No baby , we are going ” Mom said firmly . They were going to visit some lone wolves who lived near our pack territory , Considering the murder ,

Mom and Dad decided to check in on them , and here I was stuck with my little sister Azura – Aunty Indy’s girl that Mom carried . ” Wiyam , I be good . ” She blinked those large blue eyes as she assured me . No , that was an alarm bell right there .

No kid who says they will be good will be good and I had seen the devil , Dante . Kids were scary … Don’t mess with them . ” So , since you’re visiting a few elderly wolves … you should be home by eleven ? ” I asked .

Mom smirked . ” Yes , hopefully . Relax Liam but I do think we will be back before eleven . It’s only six pm now . ” She said , glancing at the clock o n the wall . ” Anything I need to know …

” No , just keep her away from the sugary stuff . There’s pizza in the oven . It should b e done in twenty minutes . Eat , get her ready for bed , tell her a story , then she should knock off .

” Mom said , grabbing her jacket before meeting Azura with a hug and kisses . The fact that it had been just me and my twin , Kiara , growing up ; we didn’t have younger siblings , so seeing Mom like this was strange .

Not to mention , I wasn’t here for Azura’s entire three years of life . Was she really going to sleep ? Didn’t look like it … ” Oh yeah Liam , Raven was saying she wanted to move to the packhouse , get something sorted for her .

I was going to tell you earlier , but then with everything that happened last night , I wasn’t in the right headspace . ” Mom said , just when she was about to step outside .

” Sure . ” I said , emotionlessly . Raven at the packhouse ? Fuck , that’s where I was staying … I couldn’t deal with this , not when just looking at her made me want to go over to her and claim her as mine .

Once the door shut after Mom and Dad , I looked at the little girl who now had her finger shoved up her nose . ” Don’t do that . It’s gross . ” I said , crouching down in front of her .

” Do what ? ” She said , taking her finger out of her nose and … fuck ! She ate it ! ” Azura , pumpkin , you don’t eat that . ” ” Eat what ? ” She asked . Did she not realise what she had just did ?

” Ok , let’s wash your hands … ” She frowned as I tugged her to the kitchen . Goddess kids were gross . ” I washed my hands after I went to the toilet , Wiyam . ” ” Yeah , but you were picking your bogeys .

” I said , lifting her onto the worktop . ” Oh , they’re tasty . ” She giggled . I cringed . Were we this disgusting as kids ? ” Alright , how about we get the pizza and watch a movie while you eat ?

” I suggested . Hopefully , she’ll fall asleep in the process . I took a tray out , grabbing what we needed before taking the pizza out . ” Wiyam , can I have Coca – Cola ? ” She asked , as I took a can from the fridge for myself .

I’m sure Mom said no sugar … ” Aren’t you too little ? ” ” No , I’m allowed half a can . ” She said , looking up at me with those large eyes of hers . That’s true . We were werewolves .

I guess pups were more tolerant to caffeine how adults would be to alcohol and stuff . ” Ah . Ok . ” I shrugged , grabbing another one and placing it on the tray before carrying it to the living room . Placing the food down , I put a slice on her plate and asked what she wanted to watch on TV .
