Caged Between the beta and alpha novel Chapter 88

Last night I wasn’t able to sleep… All I could think about was Damon’s words.

They had rejected one another… goddess..

The flames of hope had leapt up in my chest, but I had squashed them.

He had hurt me and then cast me aside.

Sure, he was hurt by many, he lost a lot… but I was hurting to….

I couldn’t hurt him more and myself too…

Why was the connection stil!l there? I hated it, I hated how we just couldn’t fall out of love as easily as we fell into love.

I rolled over in bed, staring at the rising sun through the gap in my curtain.

I would never open myself to anyone ever again, not until I met my mate… But before that, I needed to get over Damon to be able to even consider a mate.

It isn’t easy to get over someone as handsome, gorgeous, and loving as him.

In the nicest way possible, I wonder why Raven would choose Liam over him… Damon was far more- stop it.

I pushed the thoughts away and decided t o get ready for the day.

My morning ritual these days was training, showering, breakfast, then coming and trying to find something to break this curse.

Urgh, why was our pack suffering so much? Even the battle of Hecate’s betrayal took place here.

Two hours later, I had showered and dropped onto the bed, staring at the book, listening to music as I looked over my notes.

The only thing I could think of was an act that had to come from Liam himself, genuine and something he had to give.

Wait..

A sudden thought came to me and I jolted upright, staring at the page.

Did it mean h e had to give up his mate? My heart thumped, I may or may not be right… But I should tell Raven.

In a way, I was glad she had rejected Damon.

At least she wasn’t stringing him along.

He deserved better than to be treated like that.

“Raven?’ I called through the link.

Hey, Robyn!”

She sure had energy… I was aching after training and wouldn’t mind going to sleep again… a nap sounded good right about Mou ‘I had another theory, about the curse.

I’m sorry I’ve not been of much help, but- ‘Ooh! I’ll come over.

Is that ok?” ‘Sure.’ I said.

Sighing, I leant back and stared at the ceiling.

Damon’s words once again ringing in my ears.

Rejection…

I shouldn’t care.

Raven came soon after, and she held out a box of brownies.

“Luna Red made them.” She said.

“Oh… wow, she makes amazing brownies “I said, remembering Damon used to share these with me sometimes.

“Thanks.

%3D “You are most welcome…” She said, taking a seat on my bed comfortably.

I resisted a smile; Raven would be a good Luna.

She was the type of person who made you feel relaxed.

“So… I feel like this is going to be something Alpha Liam needs to figure out for himself..

but… I came up with one theory.

I hated this, I wish I never mentioned it.

What if I’ m wrong and I cause more issues? “Ouch..” She flinched, doubling over, the brownie falling from her fingertips.

“Raven!”

I panicked, my heart thudding as I rushed to her side.

“Aah!” She gasped, her heart racing, her face contorting with pain.

I looked around, unsure of what to do.

Just when I was about to mind link Damon, she gasped, letting out a breath.

“Are you alright?” I felt her forehead .
