(Keegan's POV)
Watching Caroline grind on Gregg literally made me sick to my stomach. I watched her face and it made my heart drop. She was smiling, and having a good time... and it wasn't with me. Gregg tried to resist. With one last look at me and a groan, he finally gave in. Trevor, Nick, and Asher watched Gregg and Caroline in shock; their eyes glancing at me every once in a while. I heard Caroline's friend's giggling behind me. Natasha was oblivious to my sudden mood change. She clung to me and talked about everything and anything. My eyes were glued to Caroline. That girl had no idea what she's doing to me. I wanted to be Gregg at this moment. My eyes widened in shock as Caroline spun to face him and gripped his neck. It seemed like everything was moving in slow motion as she kissed him. Gregg's eyes widened in shock also. I watched her tug on his lip with her teeth. I was furious... and hurt. As much as I wanted to bash Gregg's face in, I knew it wasn't his fault. Caroline was like a siren. She could probably make any guy fall at his knees with just one sexy smirk or smile. I quickly broke away from the group and over to the dance floor.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Natasha protested. I grabbed Caroline's arm and tried to ignore the tingling sensation that shot through my hand. She protested but I pulled her up the stairs and into a room. I locked the door behind me. I ran my hand down my face before I just let my arms fall at my sides.
"What was that?" I found myself asking. Caroline uncrossed her arms and put them on her hips.
"That was me having fun. And if you'll excuse me, I would like to get back to Gregg. We were having loads of fun," she smirked suddenly. I flinched as my wolf whimpered like it had just broken its leg. Suddenly, my face heated. I knew I was glaring but I just couldn't seem to stop. I reached my hand up to punch the wall but stopped myself at the last second. If I punched something, it would crumble like a cookie and I would be exposed. I sighed to calm myself down and closed my eyes for a second. I took a deep breath before I opened my eyes again.
"What are you doing?" I said in desperation. She blinked at me in surprise before she suddenly looked guilty, and then angry. She went through so many emotions that I had to watch for them carefully.
"You don't get to do this! You don't get to come in here with your girlfriend and then dictate who I hook up with," she yelled at me. The image of Gregg hooking up with my sweet Caroline made me flinch. It broke my heart really.
"You cant hook up with my be-best friend... that's against... its low Caroline... and I guarantee that he won't hook up with you tonight. He's too loyal to me," I explained softly. I almost slipped up in calling Gregg my Beta instead of best friend. I almost mentioned the were-law also. It was so easy to forget that Caroline was human. This was weird because werewolf mates are normally other werewolves. There hadn't really been a human-werewolf relationship of mates yet. Yet, here I was... mates with Caroline. She sighed and looked away from me. I noticed the tears dart down her cheeks. It looked like she was trying not to cry. I cupped her face and wiped her tears away with my thumb. I instantly felt horrible.
