Taming the Beast

Chapter 56 (Keegan)

(Keegan’s POV)

I’ll admit, I haven’t been the best Alpha so far. I couldn’t help it. I needed to get my mate back. I wasn’t

going to rest until I had Caroline in my arms. Two days. We’d been searching for Caroline for two days

after she told Aiden how many people were guarding. Each day that passed, I was sure that their army

was growing stronger. I prepared my men for a battle and a battle was what we were going to get.

Finally, we found her. Of course, we couldn’t just bust in there without a plan. We ran surveillance. We

tried to calculate their perimeter checks and strength. I told Danny about my “hunch” of where she was

and he was all over it. I had to have someone try to distract him as we prepared the attack. A lot of the

pack was willing and ready to help their future Luna.

We stalked through the woods as quietly as we could as we approached the house cautiously. Even

from here, we could see that they had a lot of werewolves protecting the house. I had to hold back a

growl that threatened to come out. They were holding my mate and I wanted her back. I heard

unknown footsteps and quickly told everyone to hide. If things weren’t so serious, I probably would’ve

laughed at 40 wolves trying to hide behind trees. Taking a deep breath, I changed back to my human

form and slipped my shorts on. My eyes widened when Danny came into view. I looked behind me to

the cabin before I glared at Danny.

“What are you doing here?” I hissed at him.

“You found my sister didn’t you? She’s here and you didn’t tell me,” Danny whispered. I sighed and

looked back to the house again.

“There are things you don’t know about and I didn’t need you getting the police involved… they

would’ve just gotten hurt. Same as you if you don’t leave now,” I said quietly. He crossed his arms

Great, he was just as stubborn as Caroline.

“What are you talking about? I’m not going anywhere,” Danny said a little too loudly I held back a grow

and signaled the wolves around me. I gave them the go ahead to attack. All 40 of them popped out of

the trees and took off on silent feet towards the house.

“They have wolves on their side and so do I. I didn’t want you to get hurt. Caroline would kill me if you Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

did,” I explained. His eyes bulged.

“You can tell them what to do?” he asked. I sighed when I heard the growling and fighting behind me.

Keegan, please tell me the sound of all that fighting means that you’re here, Caroline mind-linked me.

Be ready, was all I replied with. I turned back to Danny.

“Try not to freak out. You’re going to have to be able to protect yourself. I’m going to turn into a wolf

now, are you going to be okay?” I asked him. He hesitated but nodded. “You can freak out and yell at

me after we save Caroline,” I offered. That seemed to snap him out of his daze. I slipped my shorts off

and placed them in the hole of the tree. Not even two seconds later, I was in my wolf form. I looked

back to Danny’s shocked face before I motioned towards the house.

“Wait, how do I know who to shoot?” he asked. I sighed and knocked him back into a bush. I turned

human quickly and sighed.

“Just stay here and shoot any wolf coming to attack you. My men know who you are,” I said before

going wolf again. I took off towards the house. There was already a lot of blood and fighting going on.

Everywhere I looked, one of my men was fighting a wolf. I went inside to look for Caroline. There was a

boy in the kitchen. He looked at me with wide eyes as I growled at him and started stalking towards

him.

“I-I-I’m Derek. I can show you where she is,” he said. I immediately stopped growling and nodded my

head. I remember Caroline saying that this boy was helping her. He led me to a set of stairs going

down. I turned human and followed him down. I noticed Aiden hot on my heels. Derek led us down and

I immediately saw two huge rogues blocking a door. I knew who was in there immediately. I ran

towards them and snapped the neck of the guy closest to me. Aiden took care of the other guy. I kicked

in the door and immediately froze. Natasha was standing there smiling with a knife to Caroline’s throat.

Aiden’s eyes bulged when he saw and he froze as well.

“Aw Keegs, you came back for me,” she cooed with a crazy smile. I glared at her. She only laughed.

“Don’t worry; we can be together as soon as I get rid of sweet, sweet Caroline,” she said. She looked at

Caroline and so did I. Caroline’s face was colored black and blue along with any other skin that was

showing. Her lip was cut and she had a black eye. She looked tired, but angry. I growled at Natasha.

She did this to my mate. The whole time she was talking, Aiden was sneaking to her side.

Now, Caroline. Go wolf now, I mind–linked her. Her normally blue-green-grey eyes turned fully black in

anger as it started.
