Chapter 17 (Keegan)


    "I need to talk to my dadter and figure out a way out of this," I said.


    "As for now, let''s go enjoy the party," Gregg said with a small smirk. I couldn''t help but to think of how


    he was "enjoying" himself with my mate earlier. I rolled my eyes and walked out of the room. The music


    hit me instantly. I walked back downstairs to the kitchen. I needed a drink. I walked down to see


    Natasha sneering at Caroline. It didn''t take a genius to see that she was jealous. When Natasha saw


    me, she smiled brightly. Caroline didn''t turn around, but she tensed; clearly knowing I was behind her.


    She took a shaky breath before she left. She stumbled a little, clearly drunk. I felt like it was my fault.


    Natasha pulled on my arm and started trying to get my attention. My eyes flickered to where Caroline


    was being handed a drink by a guy. I furrowed my eyebrows before I turned to Natasha.


    "I think we should break up," I said, making her halt her talking. She stared at me wide-eyed. She


    looked shocked before sheughed a little. She kissed my cheek.


    "That''s funny," she said. I sighed.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    "I''m not kidding, Tash. I need to be taking care of my father and focusing on my Alpha duties. Plus,


    you''re not really my mate," I exined.


    "So what, you think Caroline is your mate? She''s trailer trash!" Natasha yelled at me. I growled at her.


    "You don''t talk about her like that," I said, authority lining my voice. She grumbled and pouted with a


    re as she crossed her arms over her chest. I was using my Alpha voice on her. She had to obey. I


    made sure that she was looking me in my eyes. "We''re done," I said sternly. She huffed before she


    stormed off. I turned to try and find Caroline. I saw her on the stairs, practically being dragged by some


    guy. She wasn''t even fully conscious. Rage. That was all I could feel. I quickly went up the stairs after


    them. I burst into the right room just as the creep was putting her on the bed. His eyes only locked with


    mine for a second before I lunged at him. I wanted to rip his throat out and slowly use my ws to rip


    his heart out of his chest. He obviously didn''t have one anyway. I yanked him towards me by his shirt


    and got a good hold around his neck. I mmed him against the wall. His hands wed at my grip


    around his neck as he looked at me in fear.


    "I was just... having a little... fun," he choked out. That only made me angrier. I could easily snap his


    neck, but I didn''t need murder of a human on my hands. I set him on the ground and punched his jaw


    hard. He knocked out immediately.


    Scum.


    Caroline moaned and turned over on her side on the bed. I sighed and just watched her for a moment.


    She looked so innocent and vulnerable. I walked over and cradled her in my arms. She made a soft


    noise, and rested her head against my shoulder as her hands rested in herp. I carried her downstairs


    and searched for anyone. I saw her friends first. Their eyes widened when they saw me with her. I


    probably looked like a kicked puppy, but I couldn''t help it.
