Chapter 66
Caged Between the beta & alpha
I had just finished off what we had been working on with Damon , and after bidding him farewell , I decided to go to Taylorâs .
He had wanted to speak to me earlier but I had been really caught up .
We were getting somewhere with this killer .
Letâs 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 canât just go fucking empty â handed ⦠I was not good at this , but there wasnât 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 killerâs footsteps , right towards one of the graveyards , but it ended right there at the gates .
We werenât 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 Taylorâs house shortly after , my gaze lingering at Jacobâs 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 didnât really hear m y wish when his dad opened the door .
It looked like they were both heading out ⦠â Hello , Mr and Mrs Olsten , heading out ? â I said .
â Hello Delta Zack , yes , we are ⦠We will be staying at Channingâs for the night .
Heâs assigned for surveillance , so we are staying with the children .
â Mr Olsten said , smiling warmly .
Perfect , I get to talk to Taylor â¦.
â We have an escort who will take us due t o the curfew .
â Mrs Olsten added quickly .
â Yeah , of course .
â 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 ⦠â Were you here for a reason ? â Mr Olsten asked .
â Ah yeah , I need to talk to Taylor .
â 1 replied .
â Heâs upstairs , go right up .
â Mrs Olsten said with a smile , â Heâs probably watching TV .
â
â Thanks .
â I said squeezing past them .
They closed the door behind them and I headed : up the stairs , following Taylorâs 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 Taylorâs 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 , Iâve seen him shift , but he was one of the more modest men when it came to walking around fucking nude , so I hadnât really seen the goods .
â Eyes up here .
â Taylor said .
I clenched my jaw , my lips set in their usual thoughtful pout .
â You canât really control where I look , if I want to look lower ⦠I can .
â 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 â¦
â Right , I canât .
â He said , a small frown on that gorgeous face of his .
â Iâm surprised you came .
Werenât you busy ? â He walked over to his drawer , picking up some moisturiser and applying it to his face .
So my mate was angry that I didnât come ? Cute .
â I was , but I came as soon as I got free .
You wanted to see me ? â 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 ..
â I told Channing .
â Taylor said , those chocolate eyes of his softening , the pain i n them fucking made me feel like a guilty fucker .
It was my heartâs turn to fucking race â¦.
Shit ⦠Was it bad ? â And ⦠â I said softly .
â Channing being Channing ⦠He took it like a pro , and you know what ? He knew that Anna was cheating on him ⦠More than that , heâs breaking up with her , not because of the cheating but because she blackmailed you , and he thinks itâs high time he ended it â¦
â 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 ⦠â Iâm sorry â¦
and I know I owe him .
â 1 â You do , he will make you work that ass off around the house and yard .
â Taylor said sounding damn cute .
I tilted my head , I couldnât wait to work this manâs fine ass ⦠Just the thought of fucking Taylor made me twitch .
I have had a few one â 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 .
lâAnd what about you ? Do you forgive me ? â I ask , dragging my attention from his worship â worthy abs and into his eyes .
â I do .
