Taming the Beast novel Chapter 64

Night came sooner than I thought it would. We were having the ceremony to join the surviving pack with ours. It was really interesting to watch. All of the people from the other pack were dressed in something white. They all cut their hand and let the blood drip into a giant bowl that also had Keegan and I's blood in it. Afterwards there was a celebration. There was a stage set up with a DJ, and once again, the backyard was used for dancing. I smiled and moved to the beat as Keegan spun me in circles. People often came up and greeted us but I felt like everyone would get along fine. 

The music died down and everyone looked towards the stage where Gregg was tapping on a mic. I could only imagine what he was up to, but I could feel that his intentions were pure.

"Hi everyone, enjoying the party?" he asked. A lot of people cheered before growing quiet to listen to what he was about to say. "Well, I'm here to let you guys know that I found my mate. Mallory Hogan is my mate. Now I understand that she used to be the Omega of your last pack, but now, she's the Beta's mate. So if I so much as see anyone looking at her the wrong way-" Mallory ran up on stage and touched his arm gently. He looked at her lovingly, calming down, before he sighed. I chuckled and shook my head as Keegan's arms went around my waist to rest on my stomach.

"It's so cute watching Gregg get all possessive," I muttered to Keegan. He only replied by kissing my neck gently.

"Anyway, Mallory is my mate, and I expect her to be treated as such... Enjoy the rest of the party," he summarized before Mallory dragged him off of the stage. We all laughed while some people cheered. Watching them was a sight to see. I laughed and turned to face Keegan. He kissed me gently, sending that familiar gut-dropping feeling through my body.

"I love you," he muttered as he pressed his forehead to mine. My smile only widened as I pecked him again.

"I love you more," I whispered. His hand rubbed over my taunt stomach as he smiled at me lovingly.

"I don't know how, but you tamed me, you know," he admitted.

"You mean to tell me that you weren't always this cuddly Alpha before me," I joked. He chuckled and shook his head at me.

"Only with you," he shrugged.

Alpha, Luna, something is wrong with Wes, I heard the doctor's mind-link. Keegan and I both looked at each other before I took off for the infirmary. I ran down the stairs and straight to his room. I burst through the door to see Wes. He looked like a skeleton with skin. He coughed and raised his eyes to look in my direction.

"My daughter," he said weakly. His breathing was labored and it looked like it took him a lot of effort just to keep his eyes open. I lunged forward and held his hand in mine with tears in my eyes as I sat next to his bed.

"You can't leave us... you can't leave me, please... Dad," I begged, my voice cracking on the last word. He smiled and rested his hand on my stomach.

"That baby is going to be special, just like you my darling," he said instead. "You and you're child are destined for greatness. The child of a turned wolf will be more powerful than you can ever imagine," he said. His breathing was becoming harder and harder for him. I felt Keegan place a hand on my shoulder as my tears trickled down my face.

"Please don't leave me. I need you," I sobbed. He squeezed my hand the best he could before lifting his eyes to Keegan.
