Caged Between the beta and alpha novel Chapter 77

I had ended up asking Taylor if he was free , and the both of us left the pack grounds with him deciding we needed drinks .

I actually agreed , I think it would b e a nice break away from everything .

Now here we are on our … I’m not sure what number bottle , and with plenty more to come .

It was too early to find a club , so we had come to a pub , and I know a few of the people here were quite surprised that we were still sane after all that alcohol .

” … So , I gave Sparks back to him .

” I finished resting my cheek on my hand .

” Ah baby girl , he is going to be happy .

That’s created with so much love from his sister ! ” Taylor said , downing another glass .

I think we were both done for the day .

The sun was setting too … How long have we been here ? ” Yeah , and then , Nina saw me and told m e I had this in control and comforted me …

I wonder who she’s lost there .

” I said sadly .

” Nina the Omega ? That’s weird , she doesn’t have anyone there .

” Taylor mused , scrunching his nose thoughtfully .

” Really ? Well then , I’m surprised that she takes such good care of it .

” ” It’s maybe assigned to her .

” Taylor shrugged picking up an empty bottle .

” That’s empty .

” I said with a small smile .

” I can’t drive … There are three of you right now … ” Taylor grumbled , pouting cutely .

” I’ll tell someone to come to get us … Shall I call Zack ? ” I teased .

He blushed , his already flushed cheeks darkening .

” Call my sexy man … ” He nodded .

I smiled , mind linking him , hoping we were still in range … Twenty minutes later , we were in Taylor’s car , with Zack and Taylor in the front and I was staring up at the dark sky from the back , my mind pondering over Nina .

I always saw her there .

Surely there must b e a reason … By any chance , did she have a child that passed away ?

She was an Omega getting pregnant by a pack member wasn’t unheard of .

My stomach twisted .

Was it maybe a mated werewolf o r was there something more to it ? I know I was just coming out with assumptions , but I promised myself that next time I saw her I’d ask her .

Maybe she was hurting in silence … Dad’s trial .

The meeting hall in the packhouse was full .

The Alpha’s , the Beta and Delta there , along with many other adult pack members who wanted to sit in .

Uncle El was seated at the table on the dais alongside Aunty Red , Damon and Zack .

As for Haru Jacobs … Well , he was cuffed as he was placed in a seat , two guards flanking him .

He was a lot thinner and looked like an empty shell .

Losing Mom had indeed taken its toll on him .

He didn’t even bother looking at me , staring given up on life .

blankly at the ground as if he had already I was seated in the front row , with Taylor next to me .

Uncle El had just told everyone why we were here and listed Dad’s crimes ; from physical abuse , neglect , emotional abuse , manipulative behaviour , lying and breaking every law that the pack stood for .

I knew for many it was hard to believe that the respectable Haru Jacobs could have committed such crimes .

” I have already heard evidence from a few others who have seen his behaviour , and have seen him lose his temper at her .

He also confessed this in the presence of the previous Alpha and Beta Damon .

Without wasting further time , I will run a few questions past his daughter , the victim of his abuse , to affirm the facts .

Both will be under Alpha command to attest the truth and only the truth .

” No one could argue with that , as I stood u p and Uncle El looked down at me .

” Under my command , I expect you to speak nothing but the truth , and not abstain or hold back anything .

” His command rolled over me but unlike before , the power of his Alpha command wasn’t as strong … was it because I now held Liam’s mark ? ” I understand .

” I said .

This was the start o f my resolution , to be who I wanted to be , for me and no one else .

” From as far back as I can remember , I was always told I’m useless , stupid , worthless , unwanted and that I was the worst thing that could have happened to my parents .

No matter what I did , I was put down , told that I was not good enough , that maybe it was for the best that I died somehow .

Growing up I became so used to him getting abusive that I began to just deal with it …

trying not to upset anyone .
