Chapter 51


    RAVEN


    ” Is anyone going to speak ? ” Aunty Red said , cing a tray of snacks and drinks o n the coffee table


    , her eyes full of concern as she saw Uncle El frowning .


    We were all seated in the living room of the Westwood home .


    ” Come here .


    ” He said , taking her hand and pulling her into hisp , trapping her i n his arms and kissing her neck .


    I was sitting on the sofa opposite , with Liam on one side and Damon on the other .


    Azura was watching TV and I was proud to see she was ying with the plushie I had got for her .


    From here I could see she was enjoying eating her boogers .


    Aww , soo cute ! ” Care to exin how the fu- ” Aunty Red ced her finger on Uncle El’s lips , cutting


    him off .


    He smirked slightly , biting down on it .


    Hot couple goals ! ” How the hell did you bend those bars ? ” H e continued once he let go of his mate’s


    finger .


    I looked at Liam .

    Okay big boy , exin that .


    I crossed my arms as all eyes turned to Liam , who simply leant forward , picking u pa chocte bar


    from the tray .


    ” 1 ” Liam , your dad asked you a question ..


    Aunty Red said pointedly .


    ” What bars are we talking about anyway ?


    ” ” The ones in the lower cells .


    They are made to withstand our kind and in no way are they able to bend … considering how thick they


    are .


    ” Uncle El said , frowning .


    Liam shrugged , ripping open the chocte wrapper with his teeth .


    My stomach fluttered and I swallowed ; I had t o admit , he looked : sexy ..


    Goddess why did something so simple make me feel all funny .


    Liam bit into the chocte , but it was clear his parents saw his attitude as disobedient , no matter how


    hot he looked biting into it .


    His eyes flicked to me , I felt my cheeks burn when he gave me the faintest hint of a smirk before


    ncing back at his parents .


    ” I guess I’m just stronger than your typical Alpha .


    ” He said .


    ” Inhumanely strong .


    ” Damon said quietly , my eyes snapped to him .


    Did he have a death wish ? ‘ We need them to know … and we can’t tell them .


    ‘ He said through the link , his soft blue eyes staring into mine . ‘ True … ‘ ” That’s not fucking possible .


    Only Alejandro could possibly do that .


    ” Uncle E I said icily .


    ” Guess he’s not the only strong one around then .


    ” Liam remarked , shrugging as he licked his soft lips , taking another bite of the chocte .  ” And


    Raven’s wrist , was it due to you not knowing your strength that you ended up hurting your own mate ?


    ” Uncle El hissed .


    Aunty Red snapped to him , poking her eyes out at him .


    I had a feeling he wasn’t meant to have said that .


    I knew she had told him ! ” Oo ! Mate ? ” Azura jumped up as she stared at me and Liam .


    ” Waven ! Wiyam ! You’re mates ? ” I gave her a small smile , but I didn’t reply .


    I nced at Damon and he gave me that small smile he always did .


    I hated this … ” Ok Azura ,e on .


    Aunty Moni is in the other room .


    You can watch TV there .


    Aunty Red said before motioning Azura to follow her .


    Uncle El red at his son as Azura followed Aunty Red out , still giggling as she looked between Liam


    and I. ” We are going to have Waven and Wiyam babies … ” Was thest thing she said before she


    disappeared .


    Goddess that child ! ” I … I didn’t realise I was hurting her .


    ” His ‘ I don’t care ‘ attitude vanished and he looked down at my wrist .


    ” I’m … I’ll make i t up to you . ” ” Yeah , you will .


    But before that , how did you not realise ? You ripped Haru’s arm off Liam .


    That is no joke ! You are Alpha .


    You can’t do things without a trial .


    Without your Beta , your Delta and your pack knowing why . ” Uncle El said as Aunty Red returned .


    Motioning for me and Damon to take something from the tray , I reached forward , taking up a packet of


    white chocte buttons and a bar of chocte .


    I passed the bar to Damon , giving him a smile before ripping open my packet and putting a button in


    my mouth . ” Your father is correct .


    ” Aunty Red said , sitting next to Uncle El , draping a leg over his thigh .


    He wrapped his arm around her shoulders , caressing her thigh as he leaned over and kissed her .


    ‘ Mates … That is what a rtionship is .


    One for One . How the fuck do you think anyone can be happy where the dynamics are so fucked up ?


    ” Liam’s cold voice came i n my head .


    I didn’t reply , I get that , and even if somehow it worked , we weren’t a trio of mates .


    It was them two for me , so I didn’t get it too … I pushed the thoughts away . ” About Dad … He flipped


    when he found out I visited Renji’s grave .


    ” I said , sighing as I ate another button , letting it melt on my tongue .


    ” Care to borate ? I am done with you kids hiding stuff , I want it allid out on the table .


    ” Uncle El said , his eyes shing , I swallowed . He was as scary as Liam at times … or even scarier


    … I looked at Liam , who nodded .


    ” Start from when you were little because there’s a lot you keep skating around and hiding .


    ” He added .


    ” You got this . ” Damon added softly .


    Aunty Red sighed .


    ” Sometimes sharing isn’t easy ….


    I’ve been there … but it feels better when that burden of secrets is lifted from you .


    ” She said encouragingly .


    I frowned , staring down at my knees .


    ” Well … Dad has always never ….


    liked me .


    I was always annoying and- ” ” You were never fucking annoying .


    ” Liam cut in , his eyes shing as he reached for my chin and turned my face towards him .


    ” Stop saying that .


    ” ” Ok , he found me annoying .


    It was the small digs , pushes and shoves here and there .


    In their eyes , I was useless , and apparently , the one whose fault it is that my brother is gone .


    He always referred to me as trash .


    There’s not much to tell … He’s just … I will no longer refer to him as Dad anymore .


    I am done with him .


    As for his mate , she would just stand by and didn’t care .


    In her eyes , he was always right .


    ” It wasn’t easy talking about it , I didn’t want to go into it deeply .


    ” It’s done , I’m done with him , his mental abuse and sometimes physical .


    Although i t was never anything big , just a shove and push- ‘ ” That is not something small , Raven .


    Uncle El said quietly .


    ” ” I can’t believe we didn’t pick up on it .


    ” Aunty Red said , I could see the guilt in her


    eyes .


    ” I don’t want sympathy ; some people have it so much worse .


    I’m ok , besides I was here so often you practically were forced to have me .


    ” I said , waving my hand .


    ” So don’t feel bad , if it wasn’t for you guys maybe things would have been different and far worse …


    He never left a mark or bruise , so I’m ok … ” ” Why is there never an end to fucking dickheads ? ”


    Uncle El muttered .


    ” Because that’s how humans are .


    ” Aunty Red said .


    ” Killing him is not an option , Liam .


    Revise your punishment and hold a trial for them both , then set a punishment that they deserve .


    ” ” I don’t need anyone to tell me what to d o .


    If I say he’s staying down there until the day he fucking dies , then he is .


    ” Liam said icily .


    His eyes zed and I felt that dark aura surge around him once more .


    My heart thumped as I looked at the Alpha couple in front of me , both had tensed , their eyes sharp


    and calcting as they stared at their son .


    One who I didn’t even need to turn to , to know that his eyes were probably a few shades darker ….
