All Chapters of Taming the Beast Within: Chapter 11 - Chapter 18

Chapter 10Secret***POV: Shea Vestine-ThorneThe sun was already up, and streaks of light escaped from the curtains – which were being swayed by the warm wind.Shea woke up with her core still sore. It was understandable, though. She just slept for a few minutes last night, and Denver took the opportunity to make love with her again… taking her to possible heaven for a few more rounds before they finally settled down. He was indeed unsatiable.But she loved every bit of it.She still couldn’t believe how he made her a woman last night.Everything seemed surreal, and she couldn’t believe that she had the guts to do everything that she did last night. Her cheeks turned a brighter shade of pink as she remembered a glimpse of what happened.Now, it wasn’t surprising that she woke up so late. It might be lunch time already.

Chapter 12Burden***POV: Shea Vestine-ThorneDoes love really fade? Or can it be eternal? How is that even possible?Shea saw how her parents loved each other until the end. She witnessed their undying love for each other. She saw how they treasure each other – get contented and had supported each other through thick and thin.However, her mother remarried after her father died.Does that mean that her love for her father has already faded because of Lexi’s father?

She couldn’t think of anything. It was as if her mind was already blank – and simply walking out of nowhere.She thought that after what happened to her and Denver, everything would finally turn out to be fine. She thought that they had finally settled everything. She thought he could finally do something about her fears – like go home to her at night… or even say goodbye… or just tell her thing

Chapter 16Admit***POV: Shea Vestine - ThorneHer eyes were swollen but that was not the worst of it all… for her heart was crushed and throbbing inside.Shea stared at the blank ceiling as she unconsciously felt her fresh tears falling from her eyes once again. 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
