Taming the Beast

(Caroline's POV)

Now Caroline. Go wolf now, Keegan mind-linked me. I could feel the anger coarse through my body as I shook with the anticipation of power and strength. In less than a second, I was down on all fours, growling at Natasha. My clothes were ripped and scattered on the floor. Her expression was pure fear and I loved it. With everything she did to me over the last week, I wanted her to suffer. But more importantly, I wanted her dead.

"T-That's not possible," she whispered. Keegan crossed his arms over his chest and raised an eyebrow at her.

"You didn't honestly think we would leave her that vulnerable to you, did you?" he asked her. I stalked towards her with my teeth showing as I barked at her before I continued growling. I would do the pleasure of killing the person who has been torturing me since I met Keegan.

She would pay.

With that final thought, I lunged at Natasha, taking her throat in my mouth. She kicked and screamed, but my jaw was locked. With one last squirm from her, I clamped my mouth all the way down, earning me a satisfying snap from her neck. Her body went limp. I let go and watched her lifeless body thump the floor. I didn't even feel bad about killing her. There was commotion outside and I looked towards the door. The fighting was getting closer.

"We need to get out of here," Aiden

said. They both went wolf and flanked either side of me. We ran out

of the basement and dodged the us out

fighting bodies. Keegan led us into the line of the trees where we finally slowed down. I let out a breath of relief.

"Stay back!" a familiar voice said. I turned to see my brother pointing a gun at me. My eyes widened as I took a step back. Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger. I felt a stinging in my shoulder as I whimpered and felt to the ground. Keegan stepped in front of me and growled at my brother. It was the loudest and most menacing growl I'd ever beard. Against my will, I changed back to my human form. I cried out as I grabbed my shoulder. Keegan's growling stopped and then I felt him pick me up. I cried as I tried to stop the bleeding.

"It's okay, Caroline. It's okay," Keegan voice said soothingly. I whimpered and cried, trying to get away from the pain but it followed me.

"Caroline? That was Caroline?" my brother asked dumbfounded. Keegan growled at him.

"Where's your car," Keegan barked at him. Danny led us to the car where we all got in except for Aiden. Aiden ran wolf beside the car just in case.

"We need to get her to the hospital," Danny said frantically.

"No! We heal faster than normal

people and all gunshot wounds have

to be reported. We don't have a hospital in out basement for nothing, Danny. Drive to my house," Keegan ordered. He held my face against his chest as he tried to shush me. I cried out as we hit a bump and it jerked my arm. Finally, we pulled up to the house. Keegan scooped me up and rushed me inside. Aiden stood guard outside as Danny followed us inside. Once downstairs, we could see that it was starting to get packed. A lot of injuries must have resulted from all the fighting. Keegan got me into a room and the doctor came in. He immediately put me on a drip of something. I relaxed as my eyes closed halfway. Everything felt slow and muffled. I felt Keegan press his lips against my head before I completely blacked

out.///////////
