71. Deja-Vu
SCARLETT
I had just opened the kitchen window when the sound of a vicious growl ripped through the air, making my heart thunder, seeing the flock of birds erupt from the trees and the unease that seemed to swirl around me. It took me a split second to recognise the voice that was barely recognisable.
Liam. That was Liam!
I rushed out of the house, telling the guards to watch Azura and Monica as I raced in the direction of the commotion, faltering when the sound of Raven’s scream pierced the air.
No. Goddess no!
What has he done?!
"Elijah, it’s Liam and Raven!’ I called through the link to Elijah.
‘I'm on my way.’ His soothing voice came despite the worry that was consuming me.
‘Raven! Liam?!’
Nothing.
I was hitting a wall. Fuck!
The wind was rushing through my hair as I broke through the trees, the smell of blood seeping into my nose. The sheer blanket of something

UNKNOWN POV I smiled, staring at the old, stained passport-sized photograph in my hand. The smell of disinfectant was strong in the air, nice and clean. "I did it. I have hurt them. She won’t survive now…" I rocked back and forth, my grip on the photograph tight. "Everything has been destroyed… I’ll avenge you… I’ll make you proud… and I’ll make him fall in love with me… He will be mine… all mine… all mine…" My breathing became ragged as the excitement within me grew. "And as for her… I’ll make sure I add her to my collection…" I was almost there… Soon, soon he’ll notice that I am the one he needs. Soon! "Are you proud of me? Are you watching me?" I whispered heavily; my breathing ragged as I stared at the picture, unblinking. "Yes, you are, you are… You have to be proud! I will get revenge for you… For our family… For everything... But it's ok if I take him for myself… right? You won’t be angry with me, will yo

Dad was now the Alpha of the pack again, Mom had filled us in on everything: The curse, the card, Liam, the killer, and the truth about Raven’s past.Alejandro had called to ask if everything was ok and if he was needed, but I told him we were ok, right now there was nothing more we could do."How could you not tell me!

TWO DAYS LATER RAVEN I had been discharged from the hospital the following day, thanks to Kia and Rayhan’s Kitty. I still remember the look in Kiara’s eyes… The moment she told me that I should have told her what I was going through. The tears… The promises that we really won’t hide anything any longer. Something I knew both of us would honour. I hated seeing her feel like a disappointment when it was my own doing that I hid it all from them, when I had so many chances to tell them. She had spent the night with Liam, I could smell his scent from her when she had come to see me in the morning. I wasn’t able to ask her how he was, I didn’t know what to think. She had spent the day with me, it frustrated me that because of me she was being torn like this, between me and him, but she had nothing but love and concern for me. Her parting words still rang in my head, and despite the fact that I knew she meant them, it still hurt. ‘I w
Caged Between The Beta & Alpha 75. For Me
RAVENA week had passed, and I finally decided to brave stepping outside. Everyone was being extra supportive, constantly keeping me company or mind linking me to ask how I'm feeling or what I'm up to but really, I just needed everyone to act normal. I didn’t want this pity. Kiara was the only one who really understood that, when she texted, it was just pictures of the twins or Dante, or talking about general things. I just wanted everything to return to normal, but could they?My emotions were hot and cold, I went from happy to utterly defeated within moments of each other. Sometimes I’d remember flashes of the cottage and him telling me he would wait for me, and then I'd see him ripping through my neck. I kept waking up at night, those bottomless pits of his eyes flashing in my mind, his canines out as he bit me…My last thoughts were always the same in my nightmares. Liam won’t hurt me.I now wrapped my arms around myself as I

RAVENQuickly, I switched routes, heading towards the pack headquarters before I changed my mind.I stopped at the entrance and looked at the guards."I wish to speak to Liam." I said quietly, not missing the way they looked at my mark.My stomach churned and I realised that what someone wore with pride, had become something awful for me, something to be leered and gawked at like a spectacle in a zoo. I moved my hair forward, covering it.They opened the door, allowing me inside. Another guard escorted me through the halls, unlocking the next door and leading me to the cells. My heart thudded when we slowed down."Do you wish to talk from outside miss or inside?"I don’t know…"Outside is fine." I said quietly, my stomach twisting.I can’t do this… I can’t…Breathe…I stopped when I saw him, sitting in one of the cells on the bed. His eyes were closed, his back

RAVENI 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 be 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 me 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

DAMONRaven’s father was committed, and although I knew the Alpha had set his punishment, I still wanted to tell Liam about it.I'm angry at him. So fucking mad at what he did. But past his split personality, there was that part of him that I knew. I wouldn’t be able to forgive him easily… If ever.I don’t know if I could ever call him a friend again either. Looking back, I think that ended a few years ago. I was maybe just stuck in a fucking illusion that things would work out…It did fucking hurt… but life was shit like that.I entered the cells and unlocking the door, entered his cell.He was sitting there, his eyes closed, his hair that he always had gelled and styled was lying messily over his forehead. His eyes opened and met mine, they looked… broken.I knew he’d feel it, but maybe this is the punch he needs to realise that he can be in fucking control. He needs to take contro
