Taming the Beast

Chapter 16 (Keegan)

"Aw baby, I didn't mean to make you cry," I said softly, trying to comfort her. The words slipped out of

my mouth before I could stop them. Her eyes were a mixture of green, gray, and blue. They were

clouded and she was angry.

"Don't call me that!" she snapped at me. I raised my hands in front of me, taking my hands away from

her. She calmed down slightly before she looked at me again. "I'm going back downstairs. You should

probably find your girlfriend," she sneered at me. She started leaving. I didn't want her to leave just yet.

Even though we were arguing, I needed her around. I pulled her flush to me. She gasped as her

cheeks turned bright red. I held her close to me; not wanting to let her go. I struggled to keep my Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

breathing even.

"Caroline... please be careful. I don't want you to do something that you'll regret in the morning," I said

softly. I was practically begging her. I caught her eyes. They were still a mixture of colors which meant

that she was confused. I didn't mean to confuse her; I just couldn't stand being away from her. She bit

her lip. I had to hold in a groan as my eyes followed her lips. She was freaking irresistible. I couldn't

help myself. The pull to her was too great. I leaned towards her. I wanted to kiss her. I wanted to feel

her warm plump lips against mine. I wanted to revel in her lips... in her body. I wanted her.

"I would regret this," she whispered hoarsely as I was only centimeters from her. I felt a pang shoot

through my body as my wolf started whimpering again. I searched her face for anything and everything.

"Yeah, we should probably get back to the party," I said softly. I reluctantly let go of her. She sighed

almost in relief and darted out of the room, which only made me hurt more. She didn't want to be

around me. She didn't want to see me. I sighed and ran my hands over my face as I groaned.

"Hey man. I'm so sorry. I didn't know what to do and she was there, and dude, I couldn't move. I

couldn't help myself. She's so... so...," Gregg rambled nervously.

"I know," I sighed, cutting him off. I watched as relief swept over his face. "I know," I repeated, more to

myself.

"How is it that you're mated with a human? I still don't understand that. How are you going to make her

Luna when she isn't even a wolf?" Gregg asked. I only shrugged as I stuck my hands in my deep

pockets.

"I really have no idea, but I'm going to have to figure something out because at this point, I can't live

without her. I need her," I said sadly. Gregg sighed and shook his head gently.

"I'm sorry," Gregg said again. I sighed. "But if it makes you feel any better, I think she was doing it to

make you jealous. Haven't you noticed how upset she gets over the fact that you're with Natasha? Or

the way she can't help but blush and try not to look at you when you're around? I think she feels the

bond too, but she's trying to ignore it because of Natasha," he said. My eyes lifted to meet his steady

gaze. He was right.
