Alpha Of Aberdeen
Chapter 30

It's been five days since I died and came back to life. I am currently cooking breakfast for Malachiwhile feeding Paisley. The house has been quiet ever since Marley and the kids had to leave back toNew York. They all promised to never speak of what they saw. I now have two more days until thefull moon to be changed, and I'm terrified to be a werewolf. I'm still worried it's going to changewho I am as a person and I'll lose my humanity.

I walk to Paisley's swing to put her down so I can finish cooking and when I am back at the stove, Iflip the bacon and stir the eggs. Malachi walks in, coming up behind me, wrapping his toned armsaround my waist. I feel my nipples instantly get hard at the feeling of his chiseled chest against myback. "How are my girls this morning?" Malachi asks, kissing the back of my neck. "Wolfman, you areasking for it, aren't you?" I say, spinning around to face him. “Maybe I am," He says with a wolfishgrin. I smirk, then pinch his nipple hard. "Ouch," He yelps, and I laugh. "I thought you were anAlpha? Aren't you supposed to be tough?" I tease, still cracking up covering my mouth.

Malachi scowls at me and picks me up high in the air. "Malachi put me down," I squeal, and ofcourse, he listens, but he puts me on top of the refrigerator. "Malachi Jacobson, get me down rightnow. I'm still cooking. It's going to burn,” I demand sternly, eyeing the pans on the stove. Malachilaughs, but comes back and brings me down, setting my feet on the floor. "You look cute whenyou're helpless” He laughs, kissing my forehead. I slap his toned tush and walk back to the stove.

I finish cooking and put the food on a plate then bring it to the table where Malachi sits readingsomething on his phone. "What is going on for today?" I ask curiously. "I have a meeting with thecouncil since I have to turn you in a couple of days. They need to know my plans.” He explains,looking so cute being an Alpha. I sit down, looking at Malachi. "What if they don't want you tochange me?" I ask with worry. "The council usually doesn't like when we associate with witches, but Iam the Alpha, and this is my pack. At the end of the day, it's up to me to decide who I want in mypack." He declares, putting his hand in mine. "Luna, I promise nothing will stop me from changingyou," Malachi says, kissing my hand.

After Malachi finishes his breakfast, I pick up his plate and take it to the sink to wash, but suddenlyhe runs up behind me, picking me up and putting me back on the fridge. "Malachi, this isn't funny,”I glare down at him. "I've got a meeting, so I'll see you later, Luna " He winks, blowing a kiss to meand walks out. "DAMNIT MALACHI!!!" I yell furiously. Malachi walks back in with a victorious smile ashe walks over, getting me down for a second time. "I love you, Chloe, and I love the way your nosescrunches when you're mad" He laughs, bringing his lips to mine, leaving a soft kiss. He pulls awayand my body aches for his touch as I watch him walk out, smiling around the corner.

Paisley starts crying, so I walk over to pick her up. I take her upstairs to bathe her, then put herdown for a nap. After Paisley's bath, I sit in the rocking chair in her nursery, breastfeeding her whilesinging her a lullaby. "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine..." When Amelia walks in. "Hey Chloe,"she says softly, careful not to wake Paisley. "Amelia, what's the matter?" I ask, concerned. She looksat me with sadness. "Chloe, I never wanted any of this to happen to you. I feel like all this is my faultfor inviting you to the ball," She says with tears falling down her cheeks.

I stand to put Paisley in her crib then walk to Amelia. "Amelia, I don't regret any of this, not one bit. Ifound the man of my dreams and I have a beautiful daughter with him all because of you and Ialways thought it was so cool you were a wolf, so now I get the chance to be one with you,” I saypulling her into a hug. "Chloe, I love you so much. When you died, I felt like my whole world wasgone,” she says through sniffles. I grab Amelia's face and meet her eyes with my own. "I'm herenow, and I'm not going anywhere, okay," I swear, smiling. She pulls me into a tight hug whilereleasing a sigh of relief. “I better go. Paul is waiting for me downstairs. We have a sonogram today,"she says, wiping her face. "I can't wait to meet my nephew," I say, making her smile so big she couldburst. "Love you, Chloe. See you later,” She says, giving me one last hug then walking out.

I go to my room, fold some clothes, and get ready to shower when I feel like my soul is taken frommy body, bringing me back to that day. I'm looking down at myself in Malachi's arms and see himcrying, begging me to wake up. I stand over him for a moment, and I can't hold my tears back, butthen I'm in fast forward. It brings me to Malachi throwing the couch into the wall, enraged. I try toreach for him, to stop him and let him know I'm here, but I'm ripped from the scene and broughtback to the present. I gasp like I was holding my breath the whole time and start cryinguncontrollably.

When Malachi comes into the room, he sees I'm slumped against the wall and drenched in sweatlike it was a nightmare. "LUNA! What happened?!" He says, rushing to my side, frantically searchingmy eyes. I look up to him, breathing heavily. "I don't know what is happening,” I say with suchexhaustion. Malachi stares bewildered. "We should go to the doctor,” He says with worry all over hisface. I bring my hands to his face and caress his cheek softly. “I'm okay. I just keep having thesevisions. It's like they carry me out of my body and send me to the day I died. I see my family andyou mourning over me, but I can't comfort you." I explain sobbing. "You're saying you could seeus?" He asks, confused. "Yes, I saw it all. You were throwing a couch at the wall, begging me to wakeup. I felt like I was there right now, reliving the day over and over,” I tell him fiddling with a fray offmy jeans.

"Oh, Luna, I'm so sorry," Malachi says, pulling me onto his lap. "I'm fine. Maybe they will stop when Iam changed,” I tell him, avoiding his eyes because I feel if I look at him, I will not be able to controlmy emotions. Malachi pulls my chin to face him. "Luna, you will be yourself again soon," He says,using his thumb to rub my cheek.

Malachi stands, helping me up off the floor, then wraps his strong arms around me. At thatmoment, I feel like nothing else matters.
