What’s Best For Her LIAM ” Liam ! Wait ! ” I closed my eyes , trying to calm myself down as Raven caught up to me . I didn’t want to talk to anyone right now . I mean , I just realised my best friend was screwing my sister behind my back . I don’t know what was worse , the fact they were sleeping around or the fact they were doing it so casually .
I knew Damon had a sex partner ; he had told me that . However , he always spoke of her with this small smile and I knew he liked her , but he had never told me who she was . Well , that made sense now . I didn’t once think it was Kiara . ” Liam . ” Raven said , now placing her hand on my arm . She was tiny but her personality made up for it . I was 6,4 give or take , and towered over her . ” Raven . ” I replied , ignoring the look of concern in her unique eyes .
” They’re adults , Liam . ” She said gently . I knew she was hurt but I was not sure if it was only because of Kiara hiding it from her or because it was Damon . I knew she hadn’t known about it ; the shock had been clear on her face when Alpha Alejandro had mentioned it . ” 1 ” There’s something called trust , Raven .
” I replied , walking into my office and dropping into my chair . She walked over to me and I tried not to admire how good she looked . Yeah , maybe I’m as guilty as Damon . I’ve had feelings for Raven since forever but I never made a move . Not because I was a wuss but because I was waiting for my mate . If the Goddess decreed , then Raven would be mine . If not , I would always appreciate her as a friend .
Although I sometimes thought she had some feelings for me , I got the same vibe from her towards Damon . She now propped herself onto my desk facing me , concern clear on her face . Her refreshing yet delicious scent was calming . ” I know that , but there’s nothing to be done now . ” She said , sighing . ” Look , instead of walking off , get the answers you want . I think if Uncle El found out , oh hell , he’d blow .
11 ” Dad can’t really say anything , he was the biggest man whore around here . I think all the she – wolves who didn’t have a mate have been with him . ” I wrinkled my nose i n disgust . Granny Amy didn’t really have a filter and she had spilt all the dirt on dad . Raven laughed , a laugh that tempted me to smile too . ” Gross maybe ? But come on , Uncle El is a delicious piece of hot stuff . ” She said , making me shudder . ” Gross Raven . ” I groaned , ruffling my hair as I sighed . I had to admit she knew how to cheer someone up .
My smile faded as I looked u p at her , not missing her heart rate pick u p . I placed my hand on her knee . ” Tell me , are you hurt because of Kiara or the fact it’s Damon ? ” I asked softly . She tensed as she looked at me with a look I couldn’t really decipher . ” Why would I care if it’s Damon ? ” She asked , looking me straight in the eyes and I knew I wasn’t wrong . The tell – tale flicker of her eyes was there . I shrugged . ” You tell me , there’s something between you two .
” ” Oh please , people say that about us two a s well . ” She retorted , slapping my hand . For a tiny thing , she was pretty strong . I was actually hoping they managed to get a few hits in on the Alpha earlier but oh well , maybe next time . ” I know people say that about us and I believe it too , but I don’t know I get the same vibe from you that I’m sure you have towards Damon . ” I replied .
I might look like an oversize oaf but I sure knew how to read people . Call it intuition , but I wasn’t dumb . Just like I know the reason Kiara always makes excuses not to hang with us . It wasn’t because she didn’t want to , It was because she didn’t want to hold us back . The same way she hid the pain in her ankle so no one worried about her . I pretended I didn’t realise to just give her that space . I watched Raven , seemingly unsettled by my words . Before she frowned at me .
” Don’t turn this back on me . Now get that ass up and stop moping . Them getting their freak on does not mean it will affect anything . ” I sighed . Maybe not but I don’t know , it didn’t sit right with me . ” I guess you’re right .
