Taming the Beast Within 20: Grave
Chapter 20Grave***POV: Shea Vestine - Thorne“Are you sure you will be fine?” Denver worriedly asked her.She felt a pang of pain in her heart. She wanted her husband to go with her on that very special day, but she also knew that she couldn’t stop him from going somewhere else – most especially that it was the King’s order for him to go to the palace.How could she refuse and begged him not to go?She knew that this was the only thing that she could do to be able to help him.Even if that meant that she had to sacrifice some of those special days with Denver – she would still do it.Shea just gave him a small smile before nodding her head – assuring him.She didn’t want him to be torn – whether to go or not. She didn’t want him to be put in an uncomfortable position.“Yea

Chapter 21Awakening***POV: Denvereaux Thorne“After running away from the other day and not finishing the meeting, you are indeed a cunning and courageous man for coming here today.” Levi raised his left eyebrow as he crossed his legs and gave him a sarcastic look.Denver just smirked at him – not bothered by the seriousness of his voice.It was as if it was new to him – but it wasn’t. He was already used to his sarcasm, and he didn’t care… at all. As if he would scare him out of his wits just because of the way he talks to him.He mentally scoffed at that thought.“Come on, it isn’t as if it is just for my sake.” He slightly shook his head – like he was amused at what his cousin was playing at right now.This time, he couldn’t stop himself from raising his left brow. He knew what he was trying to do now. He was surely trying so hard to manipulate him – but unluckily he knew him better.Besides, he couldn’t be Levi Storm if he wasn’t like this.A playful and sly man – if he wanted

Chapter 22Changed ***POV: Shea Vestine - Thorne“Just tell me what happened to him?” She demanded as her voice turned to a higher pitch.Tristan heaved a deep sigh. He quickly went to the palace at King Levi’s command. She believed that it was related to Denver. She wanted to come, but she needed to meet with her mother and Carrie.“He is with the King, Miss.” Tristan courteously replied.Her inner wolf was becoming so restless inside her that she grunted at his obvious lie.She knew that something was happening, and she wanted to know the truth. She had all the right to know about what happened to Denver. She was just so worried already.“Please, I want to know what the hell is happening.” She sincerely pleaded – for she wanted answers and no other sugarcoating words.Tristan couldn’t look at her in the eyes. She swallowed hard as her eyes moistened in tears because of the frustration that she was feeling. She felt so helpless, and she didn’t want this kind of feeling.She had fel

“Did you go with the hunters again, Lexi?” She heard their mother ask her half-sister Lexi the very moment she entered their small bungalow house.From the sink where she was washing the plates, she took a swift glance at what was happening in their living room from a small opening in the furniture were their books where placed. She saw how Lexi rolled her eyes before she looked at their mother and pasted her faked smile – covering her irritation towards their mother’s possible interrogation, well, more of a litany perhaps.Shea mentally heaved a deep sigh as she continued washing the plates instead. It wasn’t new to her anyway. Her half-sister was truly stubborn, and she always did what she wanted to do. She couldn’t blame her, though. She was a seventeen-year-old lady with a tough, strong, and independent personality.Maybe she was trying to find her mate, too. Unlike her, she couldn’t do what she was doing – lurking in the woods, being with a lot of male wolves, and socializing wit

Chapter 1Alpha***POV: Shea Vestine“That witch! She never changed! I really hate her to the core!” Her best friend, Carrie, angrily cursed Lexi after telling her what happened yesterday.She let out a deep sigh as she threw the stone into the river. Her long dark chocolate hair was dancing in the cold wind. She gathered it on one side of her shoulder and tied it using her stretchable bracelet. Her fair white skin was glistening in the sun.They were in their usual spot on the riverbank. She was sitting on the huge rock while Carrie was eating the rice cakes that her mother had told her to bring. She was hoping to catch some fish in the river when Carrie appeared in front of her, asking her about what happened to her yesterday. She might be worried because she didn’t see her around.Carrie was her only best friend.Well, honestly, she was the only person who befriended her.She met her because their families were both servant omegas – the lowest rank in the pack. Working together as

Chapter 2Strange Emotions***POV: Shea VestineEveryone in the pack was trying their best to clean their garden as well as their own home – dressing up to their best, or they might be trying to impress the King instead.But no matter what they were doing now, Shea felt like she was terribly nervous about facing the King. It was two days before her birthday, and she didn’t want to die in the hands of a horrible and wicked King. She was hoping that it wasn’t the case, though.She heard from Carrie that the Hill Clan was being held prisoner in their own house, and they weren’t allowed to go out – not until this day. Lexi, too, was taken aback when she heard it and promptly locked herself in her room.It was a blessing in disguise for her anyway. She had a lot of things to do. She was just grateful – well, a bit – because the Alpha’s family were asked not to communicate to anyone, even to the servant omegas like her.With that, she was spared by Connor’s mockeries – even for that day.

Chapter 19Best Friend***POV: Shea Vestine - ThorneCarrie rolled her eyes for the nth time as she took a swift glance at Tristan, who was standing near them – watching her.Her forehead creased because of her best friend’s strange reaction towards the beta.Carrie then nudged her with her elbow.“What the heck is he doing here? This is supposed to be our girl’s night out.” Her voice was laced with both annoyance and anger – and she didn’t understand where it was coming from.Shea let out a deep sigh – as she stared at her best friend intensely.“Why is there a problem?” She curiously asked.Carrie blew a deep and exaggerated sigh before throwing a swift glance at Tristan again and rolling her eyes.Shea was becoming more and more curious of her reaction. It seemed like…However, that might be too advance of her.“You know what, Shea, you are already married and all, but still as innocent as a baby. I hate to say this, but is he a girl to you? Why do you have to bring him here?” Car

She was just glad that the beast inside him was already being tamed… at least for the time being. She was grateful that he gave her his trust – in him.That made her learn about what was happening to him in the middle of darkness.She could understand him better now.And after everything that happened between them – he even spent most of his time with her.Denver is becoming sweeter and sweeter every day.It was as if everything that happened between them made them closer to each other.And Shea couldn’t ask for more.She loved every single day with her husband.“I think this is so effective.” Denver spoke all of a sudden.She moved closer to him under the sheets, which w

However, based on Denver’s expression, she just knew that she heard him right.And it was making her a bit more confused than ever.‘What is he talking about?’ She asked herself mentally.However, she tried her very best to even gather all her senses up. She wanted to compose herself – so, she would be able to think rationally. But it was all mess up inside her.Shea swallowed the lump in her throat.“B-Beast…?” Shea uttered it under her breath – almost inaudible.But it was enough for Denver to hear.Her mind was in deep haywire right at that very moment. She didn’t know what the heck he meant by that.There were a lot of things that were spinning inside her head.“W-What do you mean?” Shea inquired more – hoping that she could learn more about it.She shivered down her spine.

Apparently that she was done with it… that she had no more tears to shed but apparently, she was wrong.She hadn’t thought that the happiness she felt and the overflowing love she had felt with Denver had already ended in a snap.‘What should I do now?’ Her mind was drifting somewhere else, but she didn’t even know what or where it was.The scorching sun couldn’t even make her feel warm as the coldness still lingered in her every vein… slowly consuming her and that even her inner wolf couldn’t stop whimpering inside her… as if it
