Alpha Of Aberdeen novel Chapter 9

I'm in shock and not sure what to say. My niece Kali just told me she is pregnant. I pull over, so I'm not distracted and crash. "Kali! How far along are you?" I ask. "You know you have to tell your mother," I state, not liking the idea of keeping such a big secret from Marley. "I'm three months, and I can't tell mom she is going to freak. What if she kicks me out? What would I do alone with a baby at 16?" She cries and my heart goes out to her, but I know my sister.

"Even if she did kick you out, I wouldn’t let you have nowhere to go. Of course, your mom will be upset because you're so young, but she will come around. It's her grandchild," I assure Kali. "Oh, Aunt Chloe, I'm so scared when I told my boyfriend he told me to get rid of the baby, but I can't. What am I going to do? My life is over. I know I was stupid and should have used protection, but its already done, and I can't give up my baby," she cries, devastated. "Everything will be okay, Kali I'm here for you, and your mom will be too, I promise, even if it may take her some time. You’re still her baby," I explain, hoping my words are easing her worry.

"Thank you for not freaking out on me, Aunt Chloe. I'm doing that enough for everyone," she says humorlessly. "I love you, Kali. I have to get to class for a final, but I will call you later, okay? Take care and think about telling your mom please if you need to video chat with me while you do it, you can." I encourage her. "Love you too, Aunt Chloe, I will let you know. Bye!” She says, and we hang up. I rest my head against my steering wheel as my mind reels from this information. I can only hope she’ll do the right thing and tell my sister the truth. For all our sakes.

I make it to class and take a seat next to Maci, who is rushing through her study guide again before Mr. Davis gives us the test. "Hey, Maci!” I call out, catching her attention. "Hey, how are things? I was worried about you since you left in such a rush. Is everything okay?" she asks. "Yeah, some personal things came up, sorry to rush off," I say apologetically. "That's okay. I hope everything gets better," she says with a smile. "Thanks! Oh Maci, tonight is my friend's bachelorette party. Would you like to come?" I ask and smile when her eyes light up with excitement. "Yeah, I’ll come. Where are we going?" she asks. "It's this place downtown that just opened called Club Sensations," I tell her. "Hell yeah! I’ll be there. What time?” she asks happily. "I’d say around 10:00," I tell her then Mr. Davis starts to hand out the test, so we get quiet.

I am almost finishing with the test when I look up to take a break from my paper. My eyes immediately fall on William, who is looking right at me. I abruptly look away, breaking the awkward eye contact, but I can still feel his gaze on me. He really gives me the creeps. ‘Why is he always staring at me?’ I think, shaking my head to bring myself back to reality. I finish my test and raise my hand so Mr. Davis can come pick up my final. "May I be excused?" I ask once he gets to me. "Sure, Chloe. Scores will be online Sunday Have a great weekend!" he says, walking away with my final.

I stand to leave for the door and once I'm in the hall I walk to the parking lot, but as I'm getting in my car, I hear William yelling my name. "Chloe!" I turn to see him running up to me. "Hey, want to grab that coffee?" he asks, trying to catch his breath. My conscience is telling me to just get in my car and leave, but I ignore it. "Can I take a raincheck? Today is my friend's bachelorette party, so I have to help her get ready," I say truthfully, watching his face fall. "Oh okay, well, tell her congratulations for me. Where are you taking her?" he asks, but for some reason I hesitate for a moment. "Um, a new club downtown," I answer, deciding William doesn’t need to know the name. "Well, I better go. I need to get ready. Talk to you later," I say. I get into my car and start it before he has a chance to respond then drive away.

Walking into the packhouse, I look for Amelia. I go to the kitchen to see if she is there and I find Paul. "Hey Paul, do you know where Amelia is?" I ask him. "Oh, hey Chloe. She went to get some dresses for you all tonight," he says. "Okay, I'll wait for her in the room,” I inform. Paul nods his head in agreement. I walk to Amelia's room when someone grabs me from behind, picking me up into a hug. When I look down, I see tattoos on the person's hands and feel relief wash over me. He lets me down, and I turn to look at him.

"Malachi, you scared me," I blurted out then laughed. My hand moves to cup his face while I look at him like I'm in love, which surprises me. It's way too soon. Malachi wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me against his body, kissing me with so much passion between us as if it's the first time. It feels like fireworks every time we touch. "I wanted to see you before I had my meeting, but Paul rushed me out," he explains. "It's OK I understand you are an Alpha, you have priorities," I tell Malachi. "So, this bachelorette party is happening tonight you have to stay with Amelia at all times you never know when this guy can appear" he orders me and I can see the worry in his eyes. "I will, don't worry. I won't go by myself anywhere, okay? I’ll be fine.” I tell him, running my hands up his strong arms.

He leans down to press his soft lips to mine, and a slight moan escapes me. That gets him into beast mode, and I soon find myself pushed against the wall with his strong arms on both sides of me. Malachi opens his mouth, and I do the same to let him in. He grinds against me which turns me on even more. I run my hands down his chest to the hem of his shirt and pull it off, exposing his bare skin as I feel all his muscles.
