Lia
When I was done I stood there, looking down at the ground. Then I felt a warm presence behind me, and strong arms picked me up bridal style, and cradled me in a lap as they sat down. From the masculine woodsy smell, I knew it was Beast.
“You are so brave to tell us your story. I am so proud of you.”
I looked up at him in shock. “You are?”
“I am.” He then kissed me softly, and hugged me to him, taking in a deep breath. His body was tense and I could feel a little tremor going through him.
“Are you okay?”
“Mmhmm,” he mumbled, but I didn’t think he was telling the truth. He just tightened his hold around me and I cuddled into him.
“Lia, thank you for telling us. Now I would like his full name,” Butcher said in a calm controlled voice.
“Liam Carpenter.”
I heard Cassie, Becca
