Alpha Of Aberdeen novel Chapter 11

I wake up in Malachi's arms. He held me all night and didn't even try anything because of what happened with William. I turn and see Malachi still fast asleep. ‘He is so adorable.’ I think, admiring his features. I don't want to wake him, so I get up slowly. I’m wearing some of his clothes he gave me last night to sleep in, but I don't change. I walk through the door to go to the kitchen for some coffee.

As I’m walking down the stairs, I hear laughter from the kitchen and as I enter, I look around to find Amelia and Paul. They turn my way. "Good morning, Chloe," Amelia says, smiling. "Good morning you two love birds," I say. "Chloe, I'm sorry about last night," Amelia tells me. "Amelia, don't apologize; none of this was your fault. William was a psychopath, and he would have found me somehow," I say, grabbing Amelia's hand to squeeze it. "I love you, Chloe. I was supposed to be protecting you, and I failed," she says with a tear running down her cheek as her head hangs with guilt.

Paul glances between us., "I'm going to let you girls talk," He says, kissing Amelia's cheek before swiftly walking out of the kitchen. "Amelia, I have to tell you something about William," I state gravely. "What is it?" she asks. "He was the father of Kali's baby. He knew who I was. He came here from New York to find me," I say, starting to cry. "Oh, no," she gasps. "What am I supposed to tell Kali? I'm freaking out," I say. "You can't tell her anything Chloe. She can't know about my kind," she explains. "I know, but now she’s never going to have the chance of a happy life with the father of her baby and it's all my fault" I cry with my own guilt coursing through my body.

"It's not your fault. He was a crazy person who was obsessed with you," she claims. I keep my eyes looking down at the counter where my hands are fidgeting. "I need to call Kali," I say as I stand to leave the kitchen. Once I’m inside my room, I pull out my phone to call Kali. She answers right away. "Aunt Chloe!" she says. "Kali, how are you doing?" I ask, trying to sound normal. "I'm doing so much better. I took your advice and told my mom about the pregnancy. She wasn't even that upset. She said she couldn't be mad at me for something that happened to her at my age,” she explains with relief.

"I'm so glad she’s not mad. You don't need to be stressed; it’s bad for the baby," I say just as Malachi walks, his eyes widening at the word baby. "Chloe, you're pregnant?!" he questions in shock, but I could see happiness shining in his eyes. "Kali, I have to go. I'll call you later. Love you!" I say quickly and I hang up.

Malachi sat down next to me on the bed, patiently waiting for my answer. "No, Malachi. I'm not pregnant. We only started having sex a few days ago how could I be pregnant?" I laugh and he laughs too. "Sorry I got excited," he admits, running his hand over the back of his neck. "Wait, you want me to be pregnant?" I ask and watch him shrug his shoulders. "That is what our kind lives for. We find our mates and make a family," he says, smiling and my heart clenches as I imagine Malachi holding a baby.

With a sigh I explain the actual situation. "I'm sorry it's not me that's pregnant. It's my niece. She is pregnant with the child of that psycho from last night; he was stalking me because of some pictures he saw on my sister's fireplace," I say, and Malachi looks at me for a moment before he speaks. "I'm so glad
