Taming the Beast novel Chapter 30

(Keegan’s POV)

I looked around at the elders and chair people of our Lycan parliament. They talked easily with my dad. We were all sitting around in his hospital room. We decided to have the meeting in the hospital room so my dad could be a part of it. He would be making the request on my behalf anyway.

“I’ve called this meeting to bring to light that Keegan found his mate. His true mate,” my dad started. I smiled when the council members started congratulating me. “But… she’s a human. She’s come and visited me often and I can honestly say that she’s a good girl. She would make a great Luna despite the fact that she isn’t Lycan,” my dad explained. The room got really quiet as the council members looked around the room at each other. I could see that this wasn’t going to go my way at all.

“Have you told her about us?” one of the council members asked. He had a scruffy graying beard and matching hair. I shook my head.

“We’ve just been getting to know each other. She lost both of her parents in an accident. She was there with them when it happened, so now she lives with her brother and his three year old son. They’re really good people. My personal opinion is that she’s been through a lot. She would most likely be able to handle this life,” I said, giving my input. They thought about it silently. I resisted the urge to bounce my leg in nervousness. I had to keep still and show dominance. At least, that’s what my training said.

“We’ve never encountered anything like this before. Are you sure that she is your mate? What’s her name?” another one of the members asked.
