Caged Between The Beta & Alpha
Chapter 66

ZACK

I had just finished off what we had been working on with Damon, and after bidding him farewell, I decided to go to Taylor’s. He had wanted to speak to me earlier but I had been really caught up. We were getting somewhere with this killer. Let’s f*****g hope so anyway.

The moment he had mind linked, the urge to just drop everything and run to him had been d*mn hard to not do, especially since he had been ignoring me since that day.

Now, what the f**k do I take him?I can’t just go f*****g empty-handed… I was not good at this, but there wasn’t anything I could really give him.

I stopped at my room to shower, I was a mess and I did not want to go over looking like this.

Once I was done, I pulled on some boxers, some jeans that I took a moment to pick out because, although I found them a tad f*****g tight, I knew Taylor always checked me out in them. I smirked, pulling on a graphic tee and leaving the packhouse.

It was really quiet, although I could hear a few of the members in the pack lounge playing games.

Guards who were in the clear flanked the entrance, giving me a nod. It really did feel like a f*****g prison…

Not missing the weapons that the guards were holding. Tonight, thanks to that footprint, we had been able to track back the killer’s footsteps, right towards one of the graveyards, but it ended right there at the gates. We weren’t able to gather any more information inside but we had set up some cameras and sensors discreetly.

Well, I hoped it was f*****g discreet anyway.

I reached Taylor’s house shortly after, my gaze lingering at Jacob’s home, which now felt eerie and ominous… The reminder of what had happened there returned to the front of my mind.

I turned away, ringing the bell, hoping it was Taylor who opened it and not his parents. The goddess didn’t really hear I my wish when his dad opened the door. It looked like they were both heading out…

“Hello, Mr and Mrs Olsten, heading out?” I said.

“Hello Delta Zack, yes, we are… We will be staying at Channing’s for the night. He’s assigned for surveillance, so we are staying with the children.” Mr Olsten said, smiling warmly.

Perfect, I get to talk to Taylor…

We have an escort who will take us due to the curfew.” Mrs Olsten added quickly.

Yeah, of course.” I said with a nod, spotting the two men who would guide them.

Both were in the clear from being the killer. It was f*****g strange to have to doubt your own pack members…

‘Were you here for a reason?” Mr Olsten asked.

“Ah yeah, I need to talk to Taylor.” I replied.

He’s upstairs, go right up.” Mrs Olsten said with a smile, “He’s probably watching TV.”

Thanks.” I said squeezing past them. They closed the door behind them and I headed up the stairs, following Taylor’s scent, and reached his room. The door was open and I stepped inside.

It was the first time I had come here…I looked around, taking note of everything, wondering where he was. Maybe the bathroom… I dropped onto his bed, looking at the poster on his wall.

We really were pretty different. A perfect match…

I heard a door open and the sound of whistling mixed with the scent of bath products, something floral laced with Taylor’s own delicious scent. He entered his room without a care in the world, then he froze, his eyes on me, but I was too busy raking my eyes over that s*xy body of his.

D*mn was my mate f*****g fine… Water ran down his body and into his towel, I f*****g wanted to yank off the towel and look at him properly. I mean, I’ve seen him shift, but he was one of the more modest men when it came to walking around f*****g nvde, so I hadn’t really seen the goods.

“‘Eyes up here.” Taylor said. I clenched my jaw, my l!ps set in their usual thoughtful pout.

You can’t really control where I look, if I want to look lower… I can.” I said c0ckily, before leaning back on my hands, not missing his gaze falling to my crotch, something that made me f*****g twitch. Was it wrong that I wanted him on his knees?

But I remembered what I had done…

Right, I can’t.” He said, a small frown on that gorgeous face of his. “I’m surprised you came.

Weren’t you busy?”

He walked over to his drawer, picking up some moisturiser and applying it to his face. So my mate was angry that I didn’t come? Cute.

‘I was, but I came as soon as I got free. You wanted to see me?” I asked now standing up, shoving my hands into my back pockets.

Taylor turned, his heart racing. Our eyes met and I swallowed, f**k how I wanted to pull him into my d*mn arms and ask him to f*****g forgive me .”I told Channing.” Taylor said, those chocolate eyes of his softening, the pain in them f*****g made me feel like a guilty fvcker.

It was my heart’s turn to f*****g race… Sh!t..

Was it bad?

“And…” I said softly.

“Channing being Channing… He took it like a pro, and you know what? He knew that Anna was cheating on him… More than that, he’s breaking up with her, not because of the cheating but because she blackmailed you, and he thinks it’s high time he ended it…!”

I closed my eyes, feeling a weight lift from me.

Thank the goddess… Or in this case, Channing… I will apologise to him in person too..

“I’m sorry… and I know I owe him.”

“You do, he will make you work that as*s off around the house and yard.” Taylor said sounding d*mn cute.

I tilted my head, I couldn’t wait to work this man’s fine as*s… Just the thought of f*****g Taylor made me twitch. I have had a few one-night stands with men, but something told me Taylor was going to be a whole new level… I step closer, closing the gap between us.

“And what about you? Do you forgive me?” I ask, dragging my attention from his worship-worthy abs and into his eyes.

“I do.’
