Taming the Beast

Chapter 30 (Keegan/Caroline)

(Keegan’s POV)

I looked around at the elders and chair people of our Lycan parliament. They talked easily with my dad.

We were all sitting around in his hospital room. We decided to have the meeting in the hospital room so

my dad could be a part of it. He would be making the request on my behalf anyway.

“I’ve called this meeting to bring to light that Keegan found his mate. His true mate,” my dad started. I

smiled when the council members started congratulating me. “But… she’s a human. She’s come and

visited me often and I can honestly say that she’s a good girl. She would make a great Luna despite

the fact that she isn’t Lycan,” my dad explained. The room got really quiet as the council members

looked around the room at each other. I could see that this wasn’t going to go my way at all.

“Have you told her about us?” one of the council members asked. He had a scruffy graying beard and

matching hair. I shook my head.

“We’ve just been getting to know each other. She lost both of her parents in an accident. She was there

with them when it happened, so now she lives with her brother and his three year old son. They’re

really good people. My personal opinion is that she’s been through a lot. She would most likely be able

to handle this life,” I said, giving my input. They thought about it silently. I resisted the urge to bounce

my leg in nervousness. I had to keep still and show dominance. At least, that’s what my training said.

“We’ve never encountered anything like this before. Are you sure that she is your mate? What’s her

name?” another one of the members asked.

“I’m positive. Her name is Caroline Holloway,” I answered.

“We will discuss this and make a decision at a later time,” the council member with the graying beard

said as he stood. I stood as well and reached over to shake his hand.

“Thank you,” I said. They all shook my hand and my dad’s before they left. I sighed in relief. I hoped

they would let Caroline be Luna.

(Caroline’s POV)

We fell into this simple and easy routine for a few weeks. It was easy and comfortable for me. I didn’t

want to talk to Keegan about what that kiss meant just yet, but we talked pretty much about everything

else. Being with Keegan’s friends and family seemed like second nature to me. It was so easy to get

along with everyone. I talked to Keegan’s dad, Wes, a lot too. I liked him. He was like my second dad.

Even with his cancer, he still seemed free spirited and worry free from his hospital bed. If he ever had

any pain or problems, he always kept it to himself.

I didn’t want to lose Wes yet, just like I didn’t want to lose Lena and Keegan. They were quickly

becoming my second family. Keegan fit in well with my family as well. It was safe to say that I was

falling in love with him, and fast. The simplest things he did made my heart flutter, I was perfectly okay

with that.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
