Chapter 46 (Caroline)


    “So… he’s my… protector?” I asked slowly, a little shocked by all this new information. Keegan looked


    at me and nodded.


    “She’s Luna? But she’s human?” he asked shocked as his eyes flickered to me. I rolled my eyes.


    “I can’t wait till you change me so I don’t have to hear that all the time,” I muttered to Keegan. Aiden


    eyes went wide.


    “You’re changing her?!” he screeched. Keegan’s grip tightened around my waist. He tensed and shot


    me a look before he looked back to Aiden with a clenched jaw.


    “We’re… thinking about it… and she’s not Luna yet,” he said hesitantly. I pouted as I looked at Keegan.


    “I thought you said-”


    “Caroline, not now,” he warned. I crossed my arms and red at the floor. Okay, so maybe I was acting


    like Preston would have, but that just goes to show that I’ve been spending way too much time with


    him. Not that I wasining.


    “I ept your invitation,” Aiden said after a moment. I looked at him as my re dropped. Aiden


    rubbed the back of his neck nervously as his cheeks turned pink. “Plus, I hate being a rogue. It’s really


    hard,” he admitted. I smiled and wiggled out of Keegan’s grip. This meant I had an attractive new


    friend, and for some reason, that made me really happy. I walked over and grabbed his wrist. Keegan


    growled lowly with his arms crossed before I shot him a scowl. He rolled his eyes before he started


    walking ahead of us. I pulled Aiden along excitedly by his wrist. I don’t know why, but taking Aiden in


    made me feel like babying him.


    “Let’s get you showered and into some fresh clothes. You could probably fix some of Keegan’s


    clothes,” I said turning my head to look back at him. He blushed which was super adorable by the way.


    Keegan only huffed and kept walking. He was like a pouting toddler who didn’t want to share his toys…


    it was so cute. I decided to hold off on questions about Aiden until after he had a hot shower.


    We entered the house through the front door. Instantly, all the guys looked at us and then to Aiden who


    I was still towing by the wrist. They gave Keegan a questioning look. Keegan only crossed his arms


    and rolled his eyes before he looked away from us.


    “Caroline got a new pet,” Keegan said while scowling at the floor. I let go of Aiden and smacked


    Keegan’s arm as hard as I could as I red at him. I know that it didn’t hurt him, but he flinched


    anyway as he looked at me.


    “I swear Keegan, one more word from you and you’ll be in the doghouse for a month,” I yelled at him.

    He looked at me incredulously as the guys started rolling from how hard they wereughing. Lena


    came down from the stairs and looked at the lot of us before her eyesnded on Aiden. She red at


    Keegan.


    “Keegan Porter, you know our policy about rogues,” she said slowly as she walked down the rest of the


    stairs and into the living room. The guys sobered up and watched Lena carefully. Keegan was about to


    say something but I beat him to it.


    “Aiden’s not going to hurt anybody! This creepy guy was going to kill me and he saved me. His eyes


    were purple. Keegan said he’s a Luna protector,” I said in a rush. Everyone froze and looked at Aiden


    who dropped his gaze to the floor. It was quiet for almost two minutes as no one said anything.


    “Not possible,” Lena finally said, shaking her head.


    “We could test it… just to be sure,” Trevor said. I silently thanked Trevor mentally before I shrugged at


    Keegan. He growled.


    “I’m not putting Caroline in danger just to prove that herpdog’s eyes change colors,” he snapped at


    Trevor. I red at Keegan.


    “What did I say about the names?!” I yelled at him. He looked at me shocked.


    “You were serious about that?” he asked. I only crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow at him. Oh I


    was dead serious. “Caroline, you can’t be serious,” he said, almost trying to convince himself.


    “Keegan, I was serious, and I still am. You’re in the doghouse,” I said turning away from him. The guys


    all snickered. Even Aiden smiled a little.


    “Back to this mythical Luna protector thing,” Gregg said after a moment.


    “Do it,” I authorized. “Come at me Gregg. Keegan, stay back,” I warned. He sighed and looked at the


    ceiling before he went to stand next to his mom. Gregg stood and smirked before he came charging at


    me. By the rate in which he was running, I knew it was going to hurt. I squeezed my eyes shut as my


    heart dropped and waited for the impact but it never came. I heard a body m to the floor before


    growling shook the house. I opened my eyes to see that Aiden had his hand around Gregg’s throat.


    Aiden was crouching about Gregg as he growled. Gregg’s eyes widened as he looked at Aiden.


    “Holy… crap,” Gregg breathed. Aiden released Gregg and stood before he looked at everyone else


    sheepishly. His eyes were that lc color again. Gregg shuffled from underneath him and went to sit on


    the couch again.


    “Unbelievable. First, the human mate, then, the human Luna, and now, our human Luna has a Luna


    protector… what is wrong with our pack?” Asher said, breaking the silence. Iughed before I grabbed


    Aiden by the wrist and dragged him up the stairs.


    “Keegan, I’m letting him borrow your clothes until I can take him shopping!” I yelled down behind me. I


    heard an exasperated groan before I smiled. I led Aiden to Keegan’s room and to the bathroom. I


    handed him a towel and a washcloth.  “I’ll get you a change of clothes,” I said. I went to Keegan’s


    drawers and pulled out an unopened package of Hanes boxers. I shuffled through his things and found


    a pair of dark jeans and a simple gray t-shirt. I walked back to the bathroom and set them on the


    counter for him. I turned on the shower and showed him how to change the temperature. He hesitated


    before he looked at me curiously.


    “Why are you being so nice to me?” he asked. I smiled at him.


    “I don’t know. You’re different I guess. I’m used to the guys being afraid to y with me or even hang


    out with me alone because Keegan will get mad, but with you, he won’t have a choice in the matter.


    Plus, you seem like a good person; I want us to be friends,” I shrugged. He smiled and nodded once.


    “We can be friends,” he said. I smiled and moved in to hug him before I stopped.


    “Maybe after you shower,” I said, scrunching my nose up at his dirt covered chest. He chuckled and


    nodded before he took a step back. “I’ll be downstairs,” I said as I left. I closed the bathroom door


    behind me and jogged down the stairs to where everyone was lounging and talking and ying


    videogames. Keegan wrapped his arm around my waist and pressed me up against the wall as soon


    as my feet hit the even floor. He kissed me deeply, pressing me up against the wall. Memories flooded


    me brain making a soft moan escape my lips.


    “You weren’t serious… were you?” Keegan muttered against my lips. My eyes shot open and I tried to


    push him off of me. His hands caught my wrists and held them against the wall on either side of my


    head. His lips attached to my neck and I let out a breath as my eyes slipped close.


    “Keegan… get off of me,” I muttered/moaned. He growled and bit my neck lightly. I gasped and tried to


    move my hands. Keegan held them in ce. “Keegan,” I tried again more sternly. He sighed into my


    neck before he finally let go. I pushed him away and red at him.


    “Caroline,” he groaned/begged as he ran hand down his face. I crossed my arms and snaked around


    him so I wasn’t on the wall anymore.


    “I was serious,” I red at him before I headed for the stairs. I paused and turned back to him.


    “And Aiden is staying in my guest room until we figure out what to do,” I said.


    “What?! No!” he said shocked and angry. I red at him.


    “I wasn’t asking you,” I snapped back before I spun on my heels and jogged up the stairs. By the time I


    got to Keegan’s room, Aiden was already dressed and ruffling his hair with a towel. He looked at me


    guiltily.


    “I’m sorry… if I’m causing trouble, I can leave,” he said quickly. I shook my head.


    “Aiden, you’re not causing trouble,” I said softly to him. My eyes flickered to the door quickly. “Keegan


    is the one acting like an ass!” I yelled over my shoulder. I was rewarded with a loud growl. I smiled


    before I looked back to Aiden who was watching me with amusement written on his face.


    “Do you guys fight like this all the time?” he asked. I shook my head.


    “We almost never fight,” I answered. Aiden raised an eyebrow at me. I reached forward and wrapped


    my arms around him. “Now I can hug you since you’re wearing clothes and you don’t stink so badly.


    You actually kind of smell like Keegan,” I said with a giggle. He chuckled and hugged me back lightly


    before I pulled away.


    “So… will I be staying at a room here?” he asked looking around the room I shook my head.


    “You’ll be staying with me and my brother and my three year old nephew. I mean, as long as you


    promise not to hurt anyone. Keegan thinks you’re a warrior wolf—whatever that means—but you’re not


    going to hurt anyone who doesn’t deserve it… right?” I exined. He shook his head.


    “I don’t want to hurt anyone ever,” he said honestly. I smiled.


    “Good, then we can go now,” I said, grabbing his wrist and pulling him down the stairs. Keegan was


    leaning up against the wall with a pout. My smile fell as I remembered the incident in the woods.


    “Keegan,” I said softly. His face softened as he looked at me slightly scared expression.


    “What’s wrong?” he asked automatically. I let go of Aiden and walked closer to Keegan.


    “In the woods when that guy was attacking me… he said somebody paid him to kill me. He said that


    with me gone, everything would return to normal,” I recalled quietly. Keegan’s jaw clenched before he


    closed his eyes to calm down.


    “No one is going to hurt you. Plus now you have a Luna protector who’s going to be living with you so


    we have extra protection,” he said, determination seeping through his voice. I nodded gently.
