Taming the Beast

Chapter 6 (Keegan)

(Keegan's POV)

Caroline was the only thing on my mind all the way home. I collapsed on the couch and sighed like a

lovesick pup. Karma crawled into my lap and rested her head on my shoulder. I smiled and kissed her

head before I just sat there, staring at the ceiling and thinking about Caroline. Gregg, my future beta,

sat next to me and just watched me. Asher sat on my other side. Asher started thumping my head. I

growled and finally looked at him as my mom entered the room with a basket of laundry.

"What's gotten into you dear?" she asked me, tucking a loose piece of hair behind her ear. I shrugged,

but I could feel my cheek heat up. I knew I was blushing. I'd never blushed in my life before Caroline.

"Our baby boy found his mate, and she's a human," Asher said in a baby voice as he reached over and

pinched my cheek. I growled and hit him on the back of the head hard. He winced and shut up. My

mom gasped and set her basket down.

"How did that happen? She's human? You found your mate on the first day out?" she said excitedly.

She started bouncing on her toes and clapping like a two year old. I rolled my eyes and sighed.

"Ma, I'll tell you about her if you stop doing that," I said, practically begging her. She only laughed and

walked over to us on the couch. Asher moved to the single chair to let my mom sit next to me. She sat

and waited eagerly. I only looked at the ceiling, smiling lightly to myself.

"What's she like?" my mom asked impatiently.

"Her name is Caroline. She's pure spitfire. She's bossy and impatient. She's got hair the color of a

wheat field but it's shiny and soft. Her eyes... they aren't quiet just one color. They change depending

on her mood: green when she's angry and grey when she's being bashful. They turn this amazing color

of ocean blue when she's happy. She's beautiful... and stubborn. She's got this sort of... athletic

hourglass shape. She's got strong legs... she plays volleyball," I explained, staring at the ceiling. After

running into her at lunch, I asked the guys to tell me all they knew about her. My mom squealed,

making me flinch at her close proximity.

"That's wonderful Keegan!" she smiled before she hugged me tightly and kissed my face repeatedly. I

scrunched my nose and tried to lean away from her.

"Ma," I whined. The guys only chuckled.

"You forgot to tell you mom about her big, juicy ass," Nick smirked, motioning with his hands and

pretending to squeeze something. I glared at him as I growled.

"Stop teasing him, Nick," my mom said in a very motherly manner. Karma shifted on my lap, she was

looking at me now. Her light brown eyes held excitement.

"Will she play with me?" Karma asked. I touched my forehead to my little sister's as I smiled.

"I'm hoping she'll be too busy playing with me," I said innocently. My mom slapped my shoulder,

making all of us guys start laughing.

"You are such a bad influence on your sister, I swear," my mom said, standing. She picked Karma off of

my lap and went to retrieve her basket. "Oh, and someone should break the news to, that retched,

Natasha and tell her that she's not going to be Luna anymore," my mom said with a slight smirk. I

sighed and covered my face with my hands. I almost forgot about that. Natasha was this stuck up girl

with dyed-blonde hair and muddy brown eyes. Every Alpha has to have a Luna. Lunas are thought to

bring out the gentleness of an Alpha. Without her, he would basically be bitter and mean to everyone

most of the time. He would have no sympathy. So I was supposed to mate with Natasha. Her father

was my dad's beta and they thought it would be a good move for the pack.

"I will gladly tell her," Gregg muttered as he rolled his eyes. The sight made me smirk. He couldn't

stand Natasha. We'd all grown up together, so we knew her well.

"Isn't she on the volleyball team with Caroline?" Asher asked. I sighed and mentally face-palmed

myself. She was.

"You all know that just simply telling her that she won't be Luna won't work. It doesn't work that way.

Plus, I don't know if I'm even allowed to have a human Luna," I said with a sigh. Everyone got quiet as

they thought about that.

"Well, I'm going to Harley's tonight to get some more medicine for your father," my mom said, breaking

the silence said before she left. My jaw locked as I tensed. My father was really sick. It was why I had

to take over so early. I hated seeing him that bad.

"Your mate is headstrong. I've known her for a while and she's been through a lot, so you'll have to be

patient with her, Keegan," Trevor input. I looked at him curiously but I didn't have time to ask the All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

question I wanted because Nick was already talking again.

"Hey, there's a volleyball game tomorrow. No doubt, your mate, Caroline, and your soon to ex-girlfriend

will be there. Plus, there will be girls in tight, almost nonexistent shorts for the rest of us," Nick

suggested. I smiled lightly and nodded. I couldn't wait to see Caroline.

Natasha... not so much.
