Alpha Of Aberdeen novel Chapter 35

I stood in shock after hearing what Amelia told me. ‘Malachi was talking to his ex?’ my wolf growls and all I feel is this anger building inside me that I have never felt before. I glare at Amelia with such fury I am gritting my teeth. "Chloe, I know that look what are going to do?" She asks, putting a hand on my shoulder as I scowl at Malachi from the kitchen before turning my gaze back to Amelia. "What I do best, of course. Make a fucking scene," I say, turning my anger back to where everyone is sitting.

Amelia grabs my hand to stop me, but I rip my hand away."I don't need you to try and save me" I growl, stepping out of the kitchen, stopping only a couple of feet away from the talking guests. I hear Amelia come after me, almost running into me by the sound of her shoes screeching to a halt against the floor, which gets everyone's attention. ‘Perfect,’ I think to myself as my eyes travel over all the confused faces. Then I meet Malachi, who lifts a brow in question. "Everything okay?" He asks, smirking. ‘Smirk while you can,’ I think to myself as my chest is constricting with anger at the sight of his damn smirk.

All eyes are on me as they wait for my response, but I simply walk the rest of the way to them, stopping next to the sofa, my eyes never losing sight of Malachi, until I swiftly take my attention to the guests. "Leave now!" I demand in a low growl and their eyes go wide. They stand and slowly start backing away. Once they are safely out of my reach they run for the door.

"Luna, what are you doing?" Malachi countered with a snarl. "DON'T FUCKING LUNA ME!!" I shout, my voice echoing through the entire house. Malachi stands hovering over me, in a feeble attempt to assert his dominance. "You need to know that you won't ever talk to me like that," He commands, reaching for my arm. "Don't touch me!" I growl, ripping my arm away from his hand. He gives me a stern look, but I don’t back down. "You don't scare me, Malachi.” I spit his name in disgust. “I'm not one of your pathetic pack members who tremble at every word you command.” I sneer. Paul stands to come between us. "Guys, I don't know what's going on, but let's sit and talk this out," Paul says calmly, putting his hands on our shoulders.

I aggressively brush his handoff, keeping my eyes locked with Malachi’s. "Then tell your fucking Alpha to be a man instead of going behind my back to talk to his ex. WHY THE HELL WAS SHE HERE MALACHI?!," I shout, clenching my fist. I can feel my fingertips vibrating as if my wolf is trying to force her claws through. "Who told you?” He asks, sending a shot of pain through my heart that he would hide something from me. “Let me guess your best friend" He retorts, glaring at Amelia. "Don't you dare blame her for exposing your lies," I caution, giving him a death stare. "Either you tell me why she was here, or I pack my shit and Paisley’s, and we’ll leave," I declare, giving him a chance to explain.

Malachi steps closer to me and I stand my ground, waiting for his answer. "She came to warn me that someone is seeking revenge for Evadean’s death” he starts, but I can tell there is more to his story, “She also tried to kiss me, but I guess your spy didn't catch the moment I pushed her away from me, telling her to leave." He says, looking deep into my eyes, and I know he is telling me the truth, but it still pissed me off that his ex thought she could get close to him.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask, hurt replacing the anger on my face. I really thought we could confide in each other about anything. "I didn't want you to worry," He explains, putting his hand on the nape of my neck. "Chloe, you have nothing to worry about. I love you and only you," He tells me, grinning. My mouth curved into a smile, when suddenly it's like a light bulb turned on in my head. 'Holy shit, the blonde is the same woman from the ball that stared daggers through me.' I realize.
