Caged Between the beta and alpha novel Chapter 66

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 fucking hope so anyway .

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

Now , what the fuck do I take him ? I can’t just go fucking 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 fucking 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 fucking 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 u p some cameras and sensors discreetly .

Well , I hoped it was fucking 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 m y 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 t o 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 fucking 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 .

” 1 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 sexy body of f his .

Damn was my mate fucking fine … Water ran down his body and into his towel , I fucking 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 fucking nude , so I hadn’t really seen the goods .

” Eyes up here .

” Taylor said .

I clenched my jaw , my lips set in their usual thoughtful pout .

” You can’t really control where I look , if I want to look lower … I can .

” I said cockily , before leaning back on my hands , not missing his gaze falling to my crotch , something that made me fucking 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 , fuck how I wanted t o pull him into my damn arms and ask him to fucking forgive me ..

” I told Channing .

” Taylor said , those chocolate eyes of his softening , the pain i n them fucking made me feel like a guilty fucker .

It was my heart’s turn to fucking race ….

Shit … 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 .

” 1 ” You do , he will make you work that ass off around the house and yard .

” Taylor said sounding damn cute .

I tilted my head , I couldn’t wait to work this man’s fine ass … Just the thought of fucking 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 .

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

” I do .
