Taming the Beast novel Chapter 58

(Keegan's POV)

I had to leave Caroline's room as they performed surgery to get the bullet out. I was pacing upstairs in the living room with Danny seated on the couch watching me. We'd both been quiet for the last half hour; me trying to figure out if Caroline was okay and Danny was trying to digest everything he just saw. 

"How is any of this even possible?" Danny whispered.

"I can't believe you shot her!" I yelled at him. I couldn't help it. I was upset and I needed someone to take it out on. Plus, the doctor had mind-linked me earlier, telling me that the bullet was silver and really close to a major blood vessel. Caroline might not make it out of this.

"I didn't know it was her! My thoughts when I see three wolves coming towards me aren't exactly 'gee, look, my sister, her boyfriend and her best friend', so I'm sorry, okay!" he snapped back at me. I growled as my eyes watered.

"I told you any wolf that was trying to attack you. She was stepping away from you," I argued.

"I panicked okay!" he said, his hands going up in the air before dropping in his lap again. "Wolf or not, she's still my sister," he said softly. I sighed and shook my head as my eyes closed. I stopped pacing and pinched the bridge of my nose.

Alpha Keegan, Luna is out of surgery but we won't know the results until she wakes up. We had to cut out all areas touched by the bullet to allow her to heal herself. Now all we can do, is wait, Dr. Thomas informed me. I let out a breath I didn't even realize I was holding.

"Thank God," I said out loud. Danny looked at me curiously. "Caroline is out of surgery... They said that if she heals herself, she'll be fine. If not..."

"Yeah, I get it," Danny said quietly.

There's something else we found Alpha, Dr. Thomas linked me.
