Alpha Of Aberdeen novel Chapter 32

I turn the corner to see Paisley sleeping in her swing. I pick her up, cuddling her to my chest as I take a seat at the table. I pull the top of my dress down only to reveal my breast to feed Paisley when Malachi walks in, looking around until he sees me. I look up to him, clearly not happy to see him at the moment. "Luna, I'm sorry. It wasn't funny I don't know why I said that" Malachi stutters, looking at me for forgiveness. "That day was not very long ago, and making jokes is way too soon," I scold him with a stern voice, still looking down at Paisley. "What if this change doesn't work, and today is my last day?" I exclaim with a tear rolling down my cheek.

Malachi looks to me with regret written all over his face. "I'm sorry Chloe. Please forgive me. I didn't mean it" He pleads, kneeling in front of me. "Luna it will work, and you will be more powerful, and no one will ever mess with you again" he assures me, grabbing my hand. I turn to meet his gaze and find him smiling. "Okay, I believe you," I say, pulling him up from his knee. "I love you wolfman. I can't stay mad at this face" I say, caressing his cheek.

Malachi stands, picking up Paisley from my arms to burp her for me. While I put my boob away Malachi clears his throat. "It's almost time for the ceremony to start and Cypress agreed to stay with Paisley," He says, pressing a kiss to my lips. "I'll see you out there, Luna," Malachi smirks. I smile back, standing, giving him a tight hug, and pressing a soft kiss on his neck. "Damn Luna, you're causing the guy downstairs to get happy" He laughs wolfishly, which makes me laugh. He smacks my ass, gripping it a little, making me jump. "Hey now, Mr. Alpha. You can mark your territory later," I giggle. Malachi turns to walk away, smiling the whole way out of the kitchen.

I turn to look out the window and see all the pack gathering around the fire. I take a deep breath and motivate myself to move for the door. I step outside and walk until I’m standing in front of it with my heart racing. 'You have to do this, Chloe. It's for Paisley and Malachi,' I encourage myself as the guests start to take their seats in front of the fire pit. I notice a member of the council present. I turn to see Malachi making his way in front of the crowd. I feel my heart skip at the sight of him, the fire lights his face, and it's like my heart wants to jump out and run into his arms. Malachi catches sight of me, and his eyes light up like fireworks. All the doubts fade away.

I start to walk to the firepit and see Amelia sitting with Paul in the front. She gives me a reassuring smile and blows me a kiss. I catch it and bring it to my heart before stopping at the spot the councilman directs me to stand. I bring my eyes to meet Malachi's and we both grin slightly. "Good evening, Aberdeen pack. Tonight, we gather for this moment to bring a new member into the pack. Let's all look to the moon and pray for the Moon Goddess to accept our offering." The councilman says, looking up to the moon, as do all the others.

He moves my hair away from my neck and leans in between my collar bone and neck. I feel his breath on my skin, causing goosebumps to rise all over my body. He presses his lips to my skin, and then a sharp pain shoots through my body, but it only hurts for a moment, before I feel tingles. Malachi backs away from me, putting both his hands on my shoulders. "Are you okay?" He asks, searching my face. "I'm fine," I say, looking to meet his gaze. "The moon is almost at its highest Malachi you must shift to comfort her when the change begins," The councilman urges. I look to the moon in awe, but then a rush of heat passes through my body "Ahhh!!!" I scream frantically, patting my body to make sure it's not on fire. "MALACHI SHIFT NOW," The councilman yells.

Malachi shifts into his massive wolf, walking to me as I fall to my knees in pain. He lays his head in my lap comforting me as best he can. "It is time everyone! Please back away and give them some space" The councilman orders and everyone moves from the chairs to the side of the yard. I look down at Malachi's wolf and see his eyes are set on me, but then everything gets blurry, and pain shoots throughout my body, and I hear my bones start to crack. "AAAAAAHH!!!!!"...
