The Beast's Other Half 34
TAYLOR POV I grin as the wind twists my long hair and my eyes follow my mate. His back muscles and shoulder muscles are begging for my fingertips. I haven't been able to look away for a second. Sitting here next to Alessia and Giulia waiting for their daily training to be complete is practically torture. "You know you should start training a little," Giulia says suddenly and I actually glance at her. "Really," I ask and she nods. "The process has started for you. The next full moon will go smoother if your body is more prepared," Giulia says and Alessia nods. "Plus you will have to fight the thirsty ones alongside us. You need training," Alessia adds, and I see Dom's biceps strain. He can obviously hear us and I know he doesn't like the new topic. But my friends are right. I will be the pack's Luna. I can't remain untrained and weak. "Okay. I have been feeling the need to move more. I can't really describe how it feels exactly, but it's like I want to run," I ex

TAYLOR POV I press my forehead against the warm soil and sigh in utter exasperation.Beads of sweat and clumps of semi-moist dirt are covering every inch of my exposed skin and I have done nothing but fail. Cora hasn't said a word about how badly I suck, but I can see the concern in the depth of her kind gaze. Turning into a creature that is similar to a Lycan won't keep me safe. Thirsty-ones will still be an issue. If I can't defend myself I could die or put someone else in danger... Mostly my mate. I have to do better or something bad might happen. "Just say it," I mumble as I slowly climb back to my feet. She gives me a weak smile before dropping her stance and placing her hands in front of her waist. She regards me in a rather calm manner which only adds to my frustration. "You aren't very athletic. But that's to be expected," she says calmly and I nod. "That's relatively obvious," I reply almost sarcastically but I manage to soften the tone before the words leav

DOM POV I growl as a wave of unease passes over me. I look over at Taylor to find her still perfectly safe braiding Alessia's wild hair and stand up. Something isn't right and if it isn't my mate then it's my older sister that's in distress. I slip out of the great room we like to use as our gathering place and head toward Cora's room. It's been over a week since she began receiving little snips of a vision that seems dark and I bet she is upset about something in relation to that. I force myself not to link her just in case she is seeing something the creator is wanting her to see.I sniff and listen at her ancient wooden door before pushing it open. Sure enough, my eyes find exactly what I expected. My sister is sitting on the floor crossed-legged and grimacing while clearing having a troublesome vision. I close the thin piece of wood as softly as I can before sitting down in front of her. I wait patiently as her eyes flick around below her eyelids and a slight glow peeks

TAYLOR POV Riding on Dom's back is both thrilling and erotic. The world around me is zipping past just as fast as it did the first time I was in Dom's arms, but back then I didn't have my gaze focused on his back or his overpowering presence. With every movement he makes, his muscles contract and expand causing his fur to pull tight. And with every glance at his tempting body, I grow hotter and wetter between my legs. There isn't a single part of him that isn't calling out to me. I need him and I can't wait anymore. "Dom," I whisper urgently, and he growls deep down in his throat causing another ripple of desire to shoot through me. "Too dangerous," Dom grunts with a tone of finality that makes me want to whimper like a small dog.He knows what I want and he is saying I can't have it not now anyway, but that answer doesn't seem to make sense in my hormone-controlled mind. What does make sense is the fact I want him. He is mine. I can have him... Because I want him.I sniff a

DOM POV Lust courses through me as my mate's center grows wetter against my back. Her legs tighten every few seconds as she discreetly tries to rub herself against my back and I am almost feral with need. I want to rip the clothes from her body and thrust into her sweet juicy center, but I can not. We aren't safe in the ruins castle. We are out in the wilderness close to many dangers that could take advantage of any distractions. Suddenly Taylor drops a tender kiss to the side of my neck and my primal needs briefly take over all rational thought. My legs stop running and I yank my little temptress to the front of me. I fill my lungs with the scent of the warm honey dripping between her legs and barely manage to hold back a groan. I stare into her darkening eyes and wish we were inside of a building. Any building... As I almost kiss her I remember the importance of keeping her safe. I need to control myself. I can handle her needs when we get back from my hunt, but she is maki

TAYLOR POVMy panic is paralyzing as Alessia takes off with me clutched in her arms.I can't scream or fight against her. All I can do is stare at the black and dark-brown Lycans charging toward my milk chocolate mate and his golden sister.My heart feels almost lifeless as I stare at his perfect back poised to defend. I want to go back to him. I want to protect him but I know I can't. Out here I would be a hindrance to him and anyone who tried to protect me.Too quickly my mate is out of view and I realize a small group of the pack is running behind Alessia and Giulia. The group consists of the leaner less muscular lycans. Which confuses me.Why are they coming with us?... Probably the younger ones. Fighting other lycans isn't like fighting weak thirsty ones. Dom probably wants them safe my mind thinks and I calm myself before looking back toward the area I know my mate is at. Please. Please don't let anyone get hurt... My mind and chest convulse with pain as I think about my mate g

Taylor POV The sunset looks so peaceful as we wait for our pack members to show up and it makes me feel sad. How can such a pretty sky be missed by people who were smiling and laughing with us this morning?Giulia told me we had casualties. She didn't tell me who or how many. She seemed to be uncomfortable saying in front of the young lycans or she was uncomfortable because she thought the news might send me into another crying fit. I don't know which, but I could tell she was limiting the information she was sharing with me. Finally, silhouettes appear on the horizon and my heart shudders in my chest.As they grow closer I spot the dried blood clearly visible on the fur of everyone. Both from their injuries and the battle... But that wasn't the hardest thing to see. The limp bodies being carried homemade the Lycans around me erupt in emotional episodes identical to mine from an hour ago. Dom and three other males that are carrying our fallen lay them down gently in the gra

TAYLOR POV "Morning," I whisper as I peel myself off of a disgusting-smelling Dom. Last night we were so tired we didn't talk to Cora and Dom didn't rinse off. We just climbed into the bed we have been platonically sharing and cuddled. "Morning, my heart," Dom whispers back and I manage to give him a small grin. "We stink," I say after a moment and he nods slightly before climbing to his feet. His eyes hold sorrow as he moves around the sparse room and I feel his sadness all the way to my bones. I don't know how to encourage him since I am feeling the same way. "We should get washed up and visit with your sister," I say softly, and Dom halts in his tracks. He looks even sadder before he sighs and looks at me. His face appears punched. Almost as if he is unwilling to disclose whatever is on his mind and I grow fearful. What could be worse than yesterday? "She left us last night. She is traveling to all the packs before us to ensure Luna Lihua didn't poison anyone else a
