Taming the Beast Within のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

“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 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. S

Chapter 4Mate***POV: Shea Vestine“Huh?” Shea unconsciously asked – her hand was still in her chest.She was trying to calm her raging nerves, but her ears were so deaf to the loud booming sound because of the fast beating of her heart. Her hands were cold and sweaty – as her apprehension intensified.Shea couldn’t believe that their new Alpha was in front of her and talking to her too!She must be dreaming!Denver chuckled at her foolish reaction. She blushed profusely and slightly bowed her head while biting her lower lip.And that gave her a confirmation of reality – she wasn’t dreaming at all.Shea tried to calm herself. She didn’t want to suddenly shift into her wolf form and humiliate herself more.She let out an inaudible sigh.“The moon is glistening so brightly in the night sky, huh?” Alpha Denver calmly said.His voice was certainly just so gentle and comforting. It was the first time that someone had given her this kind of kindness aside from her parents and Carrie.Her

Chapter 6Whipped***POV: Shea Vestine“What? But Alpha, she is the weakest among us!” Lexi tried to reason out with Denver, but he just sneered at her – causing her to stop.It seemed like everyone were dumbfounded at what Denver declared.Especially the darkened expression that he had right now on his face.“Stop creating any more reasons. And don’t ever try to hurt her again!” His voice thundered that everyone kept their mouth shut.Before she even reacted to any of it, Denver dragged her hand and pulled her towards God knows where.She was still in her drifting reverie when they suddenly took an abrupt stop. They were near the riverbank where they had their first encounter.“Are you okay?” Denver’s gentle voice had reached her ears.And in the middle of her chaotic thoughts, her che

Chapter 8Fairytale***POV: Shea VestineThe cold breeze blew as it kissed her fair white skin – but her attention was focused only to the man who was seriously looking at her. She took one step after the other as she heard the slight rustling of dried leaves under her feet.Shea swallowed the lump in her throat – as she tried to stay calm and not create any embarrassment at this very important night.The eyes of the people around them were only directed at her.And even though she couldn’t believe it – all that she could see were awe reflecting their faces.However, she couldn’t help but to ignore all of those – as her eyes finally were caught by those soulful and captivating eyes of the man, I will exchange vow with tonight.Every member of the pack was present except for her stepfather, Leandro, and stepsister, Lex
