Caged Between the beta and alpha

The Struggle FOUR MONTHS LATER. RAVEN Pregnancy was hard. I felt exhausted, I could barely walk, sit up, or anything. My back ached continuously and I was actually going to be leaving for Kia's pack in a week or two as I was nearing the end of my pregnancy and everyone agreed I needed her by my side. For her to come here was a lot harder, so Liam and I would go there whilst Uncle Él and Aunty Red would run the pack in our absence.

News had spread that the Blood Moon Pack's Luna was going to have quintuplets, and I knew it was more of a spectacle than anything else. I refused to go to events, I didn't want to see anyone Goddess! I'm not something to stare at ! I looked over at Robyn, with her normal sized bump, she was due around the same time as me. She was further along than I was, but due to mine being a multiple pregnancy, I was probably going to have them first.

"You ok, babe?" She asked me. I nodded, although I couldn't even see my lap... I had liked my belly when it was smaller, but now it feels like all I was, was this big round hot air balloon.. "Hey ladies. " Damon said coming over with some ice cream cones. He passed Robyn one, kissing her lips before smiling at me and passing me the second cone. I frowned taking it. Wasn't I already fat?" It's not poisoned, Raven." He said with a smile, caressing Robyn's stomach as he kissed her again.

"I didn't say it was. "I replied, knowing I sounded snappy. "Sorry...." "It's all good, I'm used to it." He winked a t me until Robyn turned her head sharply to him. "Excuse me? What do you mean used to it? ** "Oh hey, I didn't mean it like that." He said making her frown deeper." You insinuated that you are used to being snapped at.

"She replied icily, I nodded in agreement." She isn't wrong. "I added before leaving them to their argument. We were currently at our place and Liam was cooking, but he was taking forever! A knock on the door made me turn. "I'll get it." Liam called. Well, obviously, I hated getting up. My eyes followed him to the door, my eyes on that sexy ass of his.

I hated how we weren't able to have sex as much anymore. I just felt horrible... No matter how doting Liam was towards me, I still felt so big and uncomfortable. He opened the door to reveal Taylor and Azura. "Hey, our princess wanted to come over, so I thought I'll pop in to see my favourite girls." Taylor said as Azura ran over to me and I smiled.

"Waven how are my babies ? "Azura, asked, hurrying over and kissing my belly five times. I smiled, giving her a hug "They are completely fine." I replied. "And how are you, Waven?" She asked, her eyes full of concern. "Mama said not to bother you today, so I promise I won't." "You never bother me Zuzu. I'm great and so are the babies."

I gave her a cuddle as she turned to Robyn .. "Hello, Wobyn." She waved and quickly planted a kiss on Robyn's stomach too. "Hello, princess." Robyn smiled at her, and I didn't miss Damon's look of relief that Robyn was distracted. Taylor gave me a cuddle before sitting down next to me. "Want me to massage your shoulders?" He asked. I know seeing me pregnant made them all sympathise with me, but I was ok for most of the time and I didn't want them fussing over me.

"It's ok, Liam did that not long ago. 1 smiled at him " Where's Zack?" " Working." Taylor replied with a pout." So are you guys not going to find out the genders?" "We already have." Damon said, caressing Robyn's thigh." But we are keeping it a surprise for now. "Robyn replied. Taylor pouted."

You won't even tell me?" Robyn

smiled slightly." Nope, it's a

surprise until the baby shower. "FI had a feeling Liam knew because he and Damon didn't have secrets, but I had not asked Liam, knowing that he would tell me and I wanted to respect Robyn's wish." That's unfair Love babies." Taylor said, looking at me." And I know you said you're keeping them a surprise, still sticking to that ?" "Yes, we are." I replied, looking over at Liam who was plating the food.

Goddess, he looked so sexy working in the kitchen. He turned and gave me a sexy wink. 'Looking beautiful, love. 'I gave a small smile; I didn't feel beautiful. "Oh no, Waven, why are you not wearing makeup?" Azura said suddenly. "I'm too tired. "I replied. She looked at Liam over

in the kitchen before Sher

head, her eyes full of worry." But Wiyam said you need make-up because you look ugly with no make - up." She told me. The clang of something falling in the kitchen area made my eyes snap to Liam." Did he now ? "" I only said that to get her to stop wearing make-up.

"He said quickly, his eyes wide as he stared at me. I frowned unhappily

"Yeah, nice." I said coldly." Taylor babe, A help me up."" Raven ..." Liam came over as Azura simply shook her head, sighing " Don't. "I suddenly felt really emotional. I already felt awful and unsexy, this didn't help matters. "I sorry Waven. "Azura said realising I felt upset. "Oh Zuzu don't be, you did and said nothing wrong.

I just need to go lay down for a bit. "I replied as Taylor helped me off the sofa. "Love"" Liam tugged me into his arms, glancing at Taylor, who refused to let go unless I said so. I smiled at him, now that was a good friend. "I'm tired, Liam. I want to go lay down until dinner. "I said quietly as Taylor let go of me. "Not when you're angry at me.

"He said softly, lifting me up bridal style with ease and carrying me to the bedroom. I didn't reply, knowing the tears would come if I spoke. He placed me down on the bed as if I was the most precious thing to him. No matter how huge or weird 1 looked he still looked at me with adoration." Talk to me, love." He whispered, kneeling down by the bed he took my hands and kissed them tenderly.

"I'm fine, I just, how could you say I

look ugly without make-up when I feel ugly as i tis ?!" I pressed my lips together, refusing to cry. "I really just wanted Azura to stop messing

with yourmake-up, it happened

months ago, before you were pregnant! I don't even know how the hell she still remembered that." He replied with annoyance. "Hey, don't blame her, ok?" I scolded, he got up claiming my lips in a passionate kiss not giving me even a moment to breathe." I don't care what you think, but you are far from ugly, goddess. Baby girl, you are a

miracle right now.

"." He whispered huskily, moving back and caressing my

hair." You are carrying our little pups, carrying one child isn't easy and you're here with five. You are still the most breath-taking woman on this plantet, and you're mine." My heart melted at his words and suddenly I hugged him, turning my body s o my stomach that was carrying our babies wasn't in the way.

He was right, this moment was special. I just felt so emotional at times..." Thanks, Liam. "I whispered. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed the top of my head." Not long left and then it's going to be a hell of a lot crazier, but I promise it'll be easier. I'll do my best to take the load off you, because right now I can't that.

" He placed a hand on my stomach and I felt a movement inside. Every time he touched my stomach, and the sparks of the bond coursed through me, the pups would react to his touch. "I know you will, and you have been so amazing. Don't think I don't notice you massaging my back or legs when I'm asleep."

I said, caressing his face before kissing him softly. "I do appreciate you, blue eyes, even when I'm annoyed and irritated." "I know. Now, how about we go back out there and I give you an amazing foot massage after we eat?" He suggested I nodded and he gave me that gorgeous smile of his, lifting me up bridal style and carrying me back out to the living room ...
