Alpha Of Aberdeen novel Chapter 42

I stand in the hall, staring at Cordelia, unsure of how to feel. "Chloe, Sukie is not going to let you have your life without a price," She exclaims, pacing the hall. I grab her arm to stop her. "Cordelia, it will be fine. Malachi and I will figure this out. I'm alive right now and that is what’s important," I say, wrapping my arms around her. "You are Colette's daughter for sure. You have her fierce attitude and leadership," Cordelia claims, pulling back to look at my face. "How can we help my mother and father become human again? Do you know any witches?" I ask her with hope. "There is one person who knows all the spells and is the most powerful witch," Cordelia declares, searching my face. "Well, who is it?" I ask, giving her a look of relief. "Your mother," She answers.

"She is a wolf. There is no way for her to make a potion," I retort, dragging my hands through my hair. "You are half witch, Chloe. She can tell you the ingredients and what to say. You have the powers within you to do the spell," She assures me, having faith that I can do it. I look down at my feet "I'll find my mom and see if there is a way to reverse this curse, but in the meantime, I need to find Cypress," I say, pulling out my phone to look at the time.

"Would you mind watching Paisley for me? Malachi and I need to go on a search," I announce, shoving my phone in my back pocket. "Yes, of course, dear," Cordelia exclaims. I hug Cordelia and walk past her, entering back into the room. I stroll over to Amelia and take a seat grabbing her hand. "Hey, I have something I need to do. Your mom is going to take Paisley for me. I love you, and I'm so proud of you," I tell her, pressing a kiss to her rosy cheek. Amelia smiles up at me, nodding. "Okay, love you too," she says, and I turn to Malachi. I wave my hand for him to follow me to the hallway.

Once we are out of the room, I stop and face Malachi. "Okay, so we need a witch to break the spell on my parents, and I'm the witch who will do it," I tell him with confidence. "Chloe, are you crazy? You have never done magic before. What if changing into a wolf caused the witch part to disappear?" He hypothesizes. "We have to try, but first we need to find Cypress," I reply, grabbing his hand to pull him with me towards the exit.

Malachi stops. I'm strong but not strong enough to move Mr. muscles here. "Why did you stop?" I ask, searching his face. "You promised me that we could deal with this after the wedding, but you can't let it go, can you?" He asks, looking hurt. "Hey, I'm sorry I know I promised, but this is important. Cordelia told me your father lied about Evadean and that he was in love with my mother," I explain, placing my hand on his arm. Malachi stands there staring at me as if he can't believe what I am saying. "Malachi? Say something," I plead, trying to figure his expression. "I can't do this right now, Chloe. This has to wait until after the wedding," He demands, moving his gaze from me to the floor.

I back away in shock while narrowing my eyes at him. "Okay, fine. If you won't help then I will do it on my own," I say, turning on my heels for the exit. "Chloe?" Malachi yells after me, but I don't turn around. I keep walking as I disappear out of his view and walk out of the hospital.
