Alpha Of Aberdeen novel Chapter 19

I am standing in front of Maci as she stands there accusing me of having something to do with Williams's death. "Maci, yes, he followed me, but I told him to leave me alone, and I went to the lady's room. That is the last I saw of him, whatever happened after that I have no idea," I explain. "Why did he follow you to the club? Maci asks. "I don't know. I didn't give him a chance to explain. He really creeped me out when he showed up," I admit, pushing away the actual events of the night from my thoughts. "Chloe, I'm sorry I came at you like that," she apologizes. "It's fine. Let's go; we are going to be late," I say. We walk to class together.

It's after class and I'm driving to the packhouse when my phone rings. I slide to answer. "Hello?" I say. "Hey, sister!” Marley's sweet voice echoes through my phone. "Marley! How are you? I miss you," I tell her. "We are doing well. Kali tells me you are coming to visit," She asks, hope filling her tone. "Yeah, I'm flying out tonight," I say. "I don't want you to stay in a hotel, and I will pick you up from the airport okay," she insists, and I know there’s no point in arguing with her. "Okay, thank you. I can't wait to see everyone!" I say with excitement but receive a moment of silence on the other end.

"Kali also told me she told you about the baby first.” She says and I begin to worry. “I want to thank you for encouraging her to tell me," she says softly, and I sigh with relief. "Of course, I want what's best for Kali and you," I tell her. "Well, Chloe, I need to pick the kids up from school. I 'll see you at the airport. I'm excited!" She gushes. "Okay, love you, and I'll call you when I land," I tell her. "Okay, love you too, bye! " and we hang up.

I make it to the packhouse and as I walk through the door, I see Amelia on the sofa looking through some papers with her back to me. "Hey, Bestie!" I whisper in a creepy voice. She jumps and papers fly. I crack up laughing and she turns to look at me. "Chloe! You are such a jerk," she cries out then laughs. "I know, but you love me," I reply as I help pick up the papers.

"How was class?" Amelia asks. "It was good. I'm so glad this is my last semester, and then it will be over before the baby comes, but Maci is asking questions about William," I mutter. "What?! Does she think you had something to do with it?" She asks worried. "She did, but I think I changed her mind. She didn't ask any more questions," I state. "Oh, okay. Well, you need to go get changed for the packhouse announcement in like 45 minutes." She informs me. "Okay," I tell her then head upstairs.

I'm going through my bags to find a dress when Malachi walks in. I don't see him; he stands at the door watching me. I'm getting frustrated and throwing my clothes. He lets out a laugh, and I turn to look his way. "What's so funny and how long have you been standing there?" I question with a raised brow. "You're so cute when you're flustered.” Malachi smirks as he walks to me.

"I don't have anything to wear to this announcement thing," I snap. "Luna, calm down. It doesn't matter what you wear. You are beautiful in anything," He says, cupping my face. "Easy for you to say. You're not the one that’s going to get fat," I retort, flopping down on the bed and letting out a soft sigh. Malachi looks at me like he has never seen a woman have a meltdown. "Luna, you won't be fat. You are growing something that is a miracle, and there is no way you could look anything but beautiful in my eyes." He says sweetly.
