All Chapters of Taming the Beast Within: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Chapter 21Awakening***POV: Denvereaux Thorne“After running away from the other day and not finishing the meeting, you are indeed a cunning and courageous man for coming here today.” Levi raised his left eyebrow as he crossed his legs and gave him a sarcastic look.Denver just smirked at him – not bothered by the seriousness of his voice.It was as if it was new to him – but it wasn’t. He was already used to his sarcasm, and he didn’t care… at all. As if he would scare him out of his wits just because of the way he talks to him.He mentally scoffed at that thought.“Come on, it isn’t as if it is just for my sake.” He slightly shook his head – like he was amused at what his cousin was playing at right now.This time, he couldn’t stop himself from raising his left brow. He knew what he was trying to do now. He was surely trying so hard to manipulate him – but unluckily he knew him better.Besides, he couldn’t be Levi Storm if he wasn’t like this.A playful and sly man – if he wanted

Chapter 23Wish***POV: Shea Vestine - ThorneShe couldn’t smile, although a feast was already in front of her.Shea knew that she was starving – but she couldn’t find it in herself to crave in eating the food in front of her.She stared at her favorite dishes, which were being served by the servant omegas. She could hear the solemn music created by the musicians with their violins and piano. Rose petals were scattered, and its scent was mixed with the atmosphere – at least, it was making it more soothing. Candles were lit, creating a solemn and cozy environment.Everything happened so fast.And she didn’t know how to deal with it anymore.She mentally let out a deep sigh.It was finally her birthday. It was like it was yesterday since she was hoping for someone to save her from being thrown to the South. It was like yesterday when she fell for Denver. It was like yesterday when she married him. It was like yesterday when everything was just the happiest days of her life – being with

Chapter 25Reason***POV: Shea Vestine - ThorneIt’s been days since they got back with the pack. She was grateful that Denver was doing well… Well, at least for now. She just wanted to take it one day at a time. Besides, he was busy with his duties, but he always saw to it that he would be going home to her every night. She was content with that – trying not to overthink the possibility that Denver’s beast would take over again.“Hey! Are you okay?” Carrie worriedly inquired as she ran towards her.She was visiting her again in their house – no, it was more of wanting to ask her about her whereabouts for the past few days and why she hadn’t spent her birthday with them – when she found out that she was vomiting her heart out.It’s been days since she experienced that nauseousness. She bet it was just because she was too stressed these past few days and that she had been sleeping late since she was waiting for Denver to come home.Shea washed her mouth and her entire face before faci

Chapter 27Sided***POV: Shea Vestine - ThorneShe was deeply rooted to the ground, with her face dripping with tears.“W-What is going on, D-Denver?!” Her voice cracked as she ignored Lexi’s words.She wanted to know – even though it would eventually hurt her. Even if she was so scared that she might lose Denver anytime soon. The pain was excruciating. It was piercing her heart, but no matter how much it hurt, it wouldn’t numb her heart.However, she knew, and could feel it. She could feel that it was not Denver… that this wasn’t her husband… and that it was just the beast – talking and doing things like this. It wasn’t him. Because he couldn’t do something like this to her. He wouldn’t hurt her like this. He loves her, and he wouldn’t dare have a relationship with her own stepsister.‘And if it is the truth?’A part of her mind coldly asked her.She blinked back her tears. She was stunned by her own thoughts.Shea swallowed the lump in her throat as she realized how much her though

Thank you.***POV: Denvereaux ThorneHe was caged in the darkness. He was sleeping soundly when she heard someone’s voice. A familiar one. And it croaked as pain and melancholy were visibly written in each of the words she spoke. His heart clenched in pain, too. He could feel her raw pain until it all intensified – making him finally open his eyes.‘Where am I?’He tried to say something, but nothing came out of his mouth. It was so dry, but he wasn’t thirsty. Then, the familiar voice resonated in his ears again – this time, it was a bit clearer. Right there and then, he knew that it was Shea – his wife.His heart ached as he heard her. He knew that she was crying.‘What happened?’ He mentally thought.Then, darkness tried to overtake him again. But he wouldn’t let it happen again. Shea
