Alpha Of Aberdeen
Chapter 40

It seems like we've been laying there for hours before we finally decide to get up. Malachi gets dressed for a meeting, and even though we just had some great sex, seeing him in that suit is making me want round two. "How do you expect me to let you leave the house like that?" I whine, looking at him with an intense gaze of lust. Malachi smirks, He knows he’s sexy. "You know I only have eyes for you, Luna" He assures me, grabbing me around my waist and pulling me into his arms. "I know, and if another girl looks at you, they will end up like blondie,” I admit with a smirk, smacking his toned butt. "Go get 'em, tiger! Oops, that's the wrong phrase,” I laugh, covering my mouth like I'm innocent as I walk out of the room. "LUNA!" Malachi yells, but I close the door and walk to Paisley’s room.

Malachi left for his meeting, and I'm finishing up Paisley's bath before I have to meet my mother. Paisley kicks her little feet in the water, slapping the bubbles and giggling. "You like that, don't you baby girl?" I say in a baby voice, 'l never understood that until now why people talk to babies that way." I get Paisley bathed and fed then I lay her down in her crib. "Goodnight, sweetie" I say, kissing her soft cheek before running my fingers through her brown hair.

I walk out of the Paisley's room, closing the door softly, and head for the stairs, taking two at a time. I make it to the bottom and find Paul and Amelia sitting on the sofa cuddled up. "Aww, you guys are so cute,” I squeal, walking to Amelia and pressing a kiss to her cheek. "Where are you going?" Amelia asks curiously. "I feel like taking a walk. Can you listen for Paisley,” I ask her, continuing for the door. "Of course, Have fun!" Amelia shouts as I walk outside.

I walk through the field closest to the forest. I take a deep breath through my nose when I catch the scent of my mom. “Chloe,” my mother mind-links and my eyes dart around the area, finding her by the rocks near the creek bed. I walk to her, taking a seat on the ground, and she sits as well. "Why did you leave earlier?" I ask, giving my mother a clear expression of annoyance. “Chloe that man is bad, you need to stay clear of him,” she says, her wolf's eyes never leaving me. "Stay away from who? I'm so confused" I continue to look at my mother in bewilderment. “Cypress is dangerous. He is the one that gave Sukie the wolf hair she needed to do the spell on your father and me,” She explains.

I lose all my words and stare at my mother, blankly. "Sukie did this to you?" I ask, searching her wolf's eyes. “Yes, she was my best friend but was always jealous of my powers” she tells me, and my expression hardens. "I'm going to kill her,” I growl under my breath. “Chloe, you must be careful around them. Their motives are never what they seem to be.” She warns me and I stand with no hesitation. "Paisley!" I say out loud, turning on my heels and rushing for the house. “Take care, Chloe” My mother urges. I link to my mother. “GO! Find a safe place, and I will come for you when it's safe for you to return,” I declare, still running for the house.

I run back through the tall weeds in the field and enter the yard through the gate. As I'm coming around the corner, I see Malachi and some pack members sitting on the porch. He turns to me with a smile. "Hey, gorgeous. Where have you been?" He asks, looking down to see my clothes dirty from the field. Malachi stands with his brows furrowed. "Were you out there alone” He growls. "I don't have the time to explain. Where is Cypress?" I demand, trying to catch my breath. I bend over to grab my stomach like I just ran a marathon. "Why? what's going on?" Malachi asks with fear crossing his face.

I walk past Malachi into the house, running up the stairs to Paisley's room. I creak the door to peek inside and find she is fast asleep. I run down the hall and continue to search every part of the house, looking for Cypress with Malachi at my heels. "Luna, tell me what is going on?" He demands, grabbing my arm to stop me. I turn to him. "Your father is a lying piece of shit!" I shout, opening the dining room door to search there.

Malachi stares with a confused expression as he continues to follow me. "Cypress helped the witch that put a spell on my parents, and that witch is the one that helped you bring me back to life," I explain. "What?! My father helped? That bastard,” Malachi snarls, gritting his teeth and balling his fists. "I'm going to kill the witch," I declare, going back to my search. "Luna, wait," Malachi says, pulling me against his body. With my back against his chest, he wraps his arms around me. "I know you are upset that this has torn your childhood apart, but we have to be smart about this. To catch Cypress, you must have a plan. He has the witch on his side, so we'll need another witch to overpower her spell” Malachi explains in a calm soothing voice.

I find myself calm and leaning into his embrace. "I love you, wolfman,” I whisper, laying my head against his bicep. Malachi and I walk to the couch with him still holding me in front of him. He sits, and like always, 1 sit in his lap, cuddling up in his arms. "Luna, I know you want to figure this stuff out right now, but we have our wedding coming up. Let's give ourselves some time to deal with our future and when we get back from our honeymoon we can get straight to work" Malachi suggests, kissing my cheek. I nod, taking in his scent as I nestle my head in his neck.

There is something about being in his arms that takes away all the worries. "Chloe, things will be better for us. I promise you one day there will be no more drama, and it will just be you, me, and Paisley living happily ever after,” He says, rubbing his forehead against mine. Malachi caresses my face coming inches from my lips when I hear glass breaking. "AAAHHH!!!" Amelia screams from the kitchen. "AMELIA!" I shout, getting up off Malachi's lap, rushing for her.
