Alpha Of Aberdeen novel Chapter 10

On our way to the club, Amelia picked up some of the other girls from her pack. Once we arrive at Club Sensations, we get out and walk to the entrance. I can already see there is a massive line around the block. "Oh, wow. Will we even be able to get in?" I ask, eyeing all the people waiting. "Hell yeah, we are. I know the bouncer," Amelia's friend says from behind me as we approach the door. The bouncer

immediately recognizes Amelia’s friend and lets us enter no questions asked. "Enjoy your night, ladies," the bouncer says with a wink.

We walk into the club and it’s completely dark, except for the flashing strobe lights. I can see people dancing and grabbing drinks at the bar and across from where we stand is a cage with ladies dancing inside. "This is amazing!” I yell over the music. Amelia looks at me with a smile. "Let's get drinks, girls!" she announces, making her way to the bar. Her friend next to me yells, "woohoo," all hyped up and I can already tell this is going to be a great night.

As we wait at the bar, the rest of the girls we invited arrive, including Maci. We each had a few drinks, and I was feeling tipsy. "LET’S DANCE BITCHES!!" I yell, and all the girls run to the dance floor. I'm dancing with Amelia to the music. We are both swaying our hips and dropping it to the floor while Amelia shakes her ass. I roll my body and seductively drag my hand from my hair down to my hips. A guy starts dancing behind me, grabbing my hips to sway with my rhythm and I don’t like it. I turn around to tell him to get off, and my heart sinks to the bottom of my stomach.

"What the hell are you doing here, William?" I yell, glaring at him. "I want to dance with you, Chloe," he shouts back with a look I can't describe. "Did you follow me here?" I demand, pushing past him to get away. Of course, he follows me and I’m beyond angry now. “Stop following me!” I turn and say, turning down the hall for the lady's room. At this point, I’m walking fast, wanting to desperately get away, but he is right at my heels. Before I can reach the restroom, William grabs my arm and shoves me through a door I didn’t notice to my left.

Once inside the room, he pushed me so hard I fell to the floor. As I’m collecting my bearings, I feel him come up behind me, grabbing a fist full of my hair as he pulls me up to stand. "Get up now," he demands aggressively. "I don't understand. What are you doing?" I cry as my hands reach up in a failed attempt to break his hold on my hair. "Please, let me go," I plead. When he presses his groan into my ass my eyes grow wide with fear. "Please don't do this, William," I beg with my voice cracking, barely able to get the words out. "I told you not to ignore me, didn't I," He snaps, pressing his face into my neck as his hot breath fans my ear. I try to pull away from him as a wave of disgust shudders through my body from his touch.

Amelia POV

During a break in the music I turn to say something to Chloe, but she is gone. I look at the other girls and don’t see her with them either. "Hey, did you see where Chloe went?" I ask frantically. They all shake their heads. ‘Oh no, I have to find her.’ I panic, glancing through the dancing bodies, but I don't see her anywhere. I look towards the entrance and see Paul walking towards me. "Paul!!” I yell, getting his attention.

He starts walking faster when he sees the scared look on my face. "Amelia, what's the matter?" He asks as his eyes look over my body for any injury. "I took my eyes off Chloe for a second and when turned around she was gone," I cried into Paul’s chest as he hugged me tight. "We will find her," he reassures me. I soon see Malachi coming our way, but he stops when a girl walks up to him. She reaches for his arm, but I can’t tell what she says to him. He ignores her advances and pushes past her to get to us. I know it that moment he truly cares for Chloe. Dread fills my stomach at the thought. Malachi stands in front of us and looks around. "Where is Chloe?" He asks. I hesitate to speak. "I can't find her," I admit with tears in my eyes. "What?!" he yells with worry all over his face. Then rushes past us to find her.

Malachi turned to me, but my eyes remained focused on William's lifeless body. I'm still crying uncontrollably when Malachi comes to me, lifting my head gently with one finger. "Luna, I'm so sorry I wasn't here. He will never hurt you again," he swears, but I can't speak. I look at him with tears falling down my cheeks. Malachi pulls me to him and holds me close, and I finally feel safe.

He helps me back to Amelia, who is running toward me. "Oh my god! what happened? Are you okay?" she asks, looking over every inch of me. "No, I want to leave, please,” I ask over the loud music. "Okay, let's go. Paul, we need to go home," she yells to him. Malachi walks me to the car, with his arm around

me, and as we drive, I fall asleep on Malachi's shoulder in the car. When we arrive at the packhouse, he picks me up and carries me bridal style into the house, walking past everyone that's still at the packhouse. They just stare, not daring to say a word as we disappear up the stairs.

Malachi brings me to his room and lays me on his bed. He carefully takes off my stilettos and sits next to me. I look to his face, and I can tell from the look he is giving me, he thinks he has failed to keep me safe. I grab his hand. "Hey, don't do that to yourself, please," I tell him. "You still saved me before he could do anything that would mess up my life," I say with a soft voice. I pull him down next to me, and he props himself up on his elbow, staring into what felt like my soul. He gently rubs my lower lip with his finger and brings his mouth slowly to mine. "I love you, Chloe." He whispers into my mouth.
