Caged Between The Beta & Alpha
Chapter 89

RAVEN

I sighed staring at the men’s perfume set that I was holding in my hand. I had come out to Stratford.Upon Avon’s largest shopping centre to buy a gift for Uncle El’s upcoming birthday. It was in the afternoon, but I still couldn’t get Robyn’s words from earlier out of my mind about how I needed to tell someone about me on the verge of going into heat. But forget that, more than my heat, I needed to tell Liam about mine and Damon’s rejection.

I was going to tell him yesterday in the car, but then the stupid pain played up. Then last night I waited for him, but he had come late and I had fallen asleep.

Damon had linked me earlier, asking me why I hadn’t told Liam. Last night, Liam had talked to him and it was clear he didn’t know. I explained to him that I had been about to tell him twice but stuff came up.

But today I had booked a table in a restaurant here in town, and I was going to tell him. I wasn’t sure what to do about my heat, I figured I’d talk to Liam and we’d go from there.

I loved him but I didn’t feel as if I was ready for that last step, not when he felt guilty. What if I said it and he refused? I’d be hurt, but I needed to talk to him regardless of the outcome.

He had promised to meet me here. Although he was supposedly on house arrest, I was glad he was allowed to get out. Staying indoors would only drive him crazier, although I don’t think Uncle El realizes Liam’s always broke more rules than he knows. I wasn’t complaining. I had liked our road trip.

I paid for the fragrance and headed out, glancing at my watch, twenty-to-six. Perfect, enough time for me to just get dressed and head to the restaurant for seven!

I got into the backseat of my car, pulling out the outfit I had decided to wear for tonight. A black long- _sleeved high collared dress with a cut out back.

What’s not to love about black?! I glanced towards my tinted windows before I undressed and slipped it on, pairing it with some net tights and some heels.

Taking my makeup back out, I began working on to my face

It was when I was almost done, a sudden surge of pain coursed through me, but this time it was accompanied by a raging fire. I felt as if my entire body was burning. A whimper left my l!ps as I dropped my l!p liner. Screaming at the spasming pain, my lower region throbbed and I bit my l!p, Liam’s face flashing in my head.

I wanted him.

Liam…’ I called through the link, my mind felt fuzzy, my entire body felt hot and crazy.

‘Raven, what’s wrong?

Liam, I need you to come get me.’ I whispered.

Where are you?!

‘Outside Red Fort shopping-Ah!’ I whimpered as another pain rushed through me.

I needed this clothing off!

I grabbed the collar of my dress, tearing it off completely.

I’m coming.’ His voice was soothing, yet he was clearly worried.

‘Fast.’ I m0aned.

I wanted him. My mind felt hazy as I r!pped through my tights and pushed my underwear aside, parting my smooth l!ps and began rubbing my c!it.

Liam…

I imagined it was him touching me, imagining him running his tongue down my stomach, pushing my th!ghs apart before he drove his tongue into me.

“Liam..” I whimpered, m0aning as I felt my 0rgasm building, moving my finger faster. “F**k…”

My eyes flew open, my back arching as my 0rgasm ripped through me. I dropped back onto the seat, feeling a little cooler and somewhat returning to my senses. My cheeks were hot and the flames that were l!cking my body were still there, but it wasn’t as tense. I was aching for so much more…

I gripped onto the seat in front, whimpering as another jarring burst of pain rushed through me.

Wait… Was calling Liam the smart thing to – ouch!

I whimpered, clamping my hand over my mouth, not wanting anyone to hear me. A sudden tapping on the window made my eyes fly open, my heart thundering when I saw Liam.

Open the door, love.’

I reached over, unlocking the door and pushing it open slightly, my entire body burning with a dangerous desire to jump him right now. His eyes instantly blazed magnetic blue the moment my scent hit him. His heart thundered as his eyes trailed over me, I was in my lingerie and torn net tights, and even in my hazy state, I could tell he liked what he saw from the pure carnal hunger in those shimmering deep blue eyes…

“You’re in heat…” He swallowed, slowly getting in the car. His nostrils flaring as he shut the door behind him and cupped my neck, touching his knuckles to my cheek. I whimpered at his touch, the sparks coursing through me making me throb.

“F**k, Liam..” I whimpered, I needed his touch. I climbed into his la*p and he tensed, gripping my arms.

“Raven.. look at me.” He said through gritted teeth, trying to calm his racing heartbeat.

“I’m burning up, I.”

“Raven… Love, listen to me. Let’s get you somewhere cold, a bath maybe.. ice…”

“K!ss me.” I whispered seductively, r!pping his shirt halfway before he caught my wrists.

You’re not yourself. I’ll k!ss you, but we can’t go further…” He whispered, I knew I was breaking his resolve when I took my bottom l!p between my teeth and looked at him with noded eyes.

Then k!ss me blue eyes.” I whispered, rolling my h!ps against his crotch.

A h0rny m0an left my l!ps and he swore, suddenly lifting me off him and placing me down.

“Raven, let’s get you out of here.” He said, his voice hoarse and almost animalistic, one that just made me want him even more. Getting out of the car, he got into the front, grabbing my keys as I glared at him. “I’ll tell Mom you’re in heat. She can tell us -what to do. I don’t trust myself around you.”

“You’re responsible for this! so, you should fix it!'”I growled. I know I was being unreasonable but I needed him, I wanted him.

He turned the air conditioning on full but it did nothing to satiate the burning desire inside of me. “I don’t want to go to the pack, Liam… Not like this, the world already seems to know everything about me… Just take me to a hotel room or something. I don’t want anyone to know.” I said, suddenly feeling upset. Another jarring pain rushed through me and I whimpered, curling up on the back seat. Through my half-lidded eyes, I could see his knuckles were white on the steering wheel.

“What about Damon? Do you want him with you instead?” He asked, his voice low, and although he was trying to sound normal, I knew just asking me that question hurt.

I frowned, feeling the throb deep inside of me return.

We rejected one another, Liam… I was meant to tell you.. But… F**k…something came in the way…” I whispered, biting my l!p as another jarring pain rushed through me.

He didn’t reply but I could hear the beat of his heart, knowing it was a shock to his system.

“After what I did..” I think I heard him whisper, but I was far too lost in my own pain, the heat, and the need for more l!cking painfully at my skin.

The leather of the seats burned tOoo….

“I’m going to go get ice… I won’t be long.” I heard him whisper, realising the car had stopped.

I stared through the window, a supermarket…
