The cab pulls up into the loading zone to let me out. The driver gets out to help me with my bag. "Thank you!" I say, handing him a tip and giving a slight wave. I walk into the airport and head straight for the baggage check-in. "Hello Miss, where are we flying to today?" the guy behind the counter asks. "New York. I already bought a ticket, but I need to fly out as soon as possible," I told him. "Okay, that's no problem. We can switch you to the flight that leaves in 20 minutes, and it's not full. It will be terminal 22. You can have a seat in that section, and they will announce it soon," the clerk directs, handing me the ticket. "Thank you," I tell him and walk to the designated section, taking a seat. Malachi's POV I shoved the front door with so much force it falls off its hinges. All the people that came for the baby's announcement stand there with their eyes wide. I rush my father, slamming him against the wall, picking him up by the collar. "If she leaves and never re
Malachi’s POV I pull up at the airport in record time. I went over the speed limit to get here. I was so ready to fuck her right here in the airport parking lot. I get out super-fast to look for Chloe, but as I’m looking around, I don't see her. I walk around the whole front entrance of the airport and there is still no sign of her. I go inside thinking; ‘Chloe may have gone inside to use the restroom or something.’ but it's pretty much empty. I pull out my phone while walking back towards the car and call Chloe. I can hear it ringing, ‘she must be close, how did I not see her?’ I follow the ringing to find her phone on the ground with no Chloe. Terror struck my heart as I wondered where she could be, I shouted her name, running around in a panic. I pick up Chloe’s phone, finding the screen shattered. I feel my wolf's anger rise with each second that passes, which creates my own anger to be ten times worse. I dial Paul, and I don't give him time to say a word. "Gather the pack, he
Chloe POV Alaric rushes at me after he tosses me on the bed. He sits on top of me, trying to grab my hands, but I won't go down without a fight. I throw a left hook at his jaw, leaving him stunned for a second. It gives me time to run for the door, but before I can reach it, he trips me by kicking my feet out from under me. I flip over to guard myself, but he grabs my hair, almost ripping it from my head. "Let me go, bastard!" I scream. He slaps me. I spun back around with as much force as I could and punched him right in the eye. He stumbles back, holding his eye, and I charge at him to knock him down. I get him to the ground and get on top of him, throwing punches as hard as I can. He gets pissed and shoves me backward, and I hit my head on the floor. The room spins for a second, so he gets the upper hand, grabbing me and picking me up in the air. He throws me across the room, and I hit the wall with such force the wind gets knocked out of me, but I don’t give up, I drag mysel
Malachi's POV The doctor looks at me for a second. "We were able to save her, as well. She has a strong heartbeat." The doctor says. Relief washes over me as I fall to my knees sobbing. Paul and Amelia kneel on each side of me, and Amelia hugs me. "You saved her, Malachi," she says, smiling with happy tears. I look up to the doctor to thank him when I realize what he just said. "It's a Girl?" I question. The doctor smiles "It is very early to tell on the sonogram, but her blood test tells us it's a girl." He says. "Thank you so much, Doctor!" I stand, hugging him a little tight. "Um... Can't breathe!” He whispers, while patting my shoulder. "Oh, sorry, Doc," I declare, letting him go. I notice him looking over my body for a moment. "You must work out a lot to be that strong," He claims. "You might want to run home and find a shirt you're going to have my waiting room flooded by all the ladies drool," He laughs. I turn to look behind me and see all the women are staring at me,
Malachi picks me up and carries me to the car, telling Paul to drive. Once we are in the car, I feel cramping again. "Did your water break?" Malachi asks. I give him a look that could kill. "NO! Don't you think your lap would be wet?" I snap, then I feel bad and grab his hand. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to be mean," I say, apologizing. "Luna, don't be sorry. I know you didn't mean for it to sound that way." He tells me. I give him a slight smile as a contraction comes through again. "HOLY HELL!!" I scream. Malachi looks to Paul in the rearview. "Come on, Paul, go faster," He demands. Paul speeds up. We pull in, and Malachi carries me in." "My wife is having a baby; please help!" He says frantically. I look up at him and smile. "Did you just call me your wife?" I ask. He looks at me and grins. The nurse brings a wheelchair and tells me to sit. I feel foolish in a freaking wheelchair. "Um... I can walk or have my big scary man back there carry me," I say, laughing. The nurse laug
I can’t help but look at this woman dumbfounded. How many more family members are going to randomly pop up? "Come in. Malachi's this way," I inform her, and she follows me to the living area. Malachi looks up to see who is behind me, and his smile fades. "Why are you here?" He snarls, sending his mother a threatening glare. “I've come to see for myself that my son is having a baby,” she says in a monotonous tone. "Well, you have seen, so you can leave now," Malachi retorts, standing and walking toward us. “What? You don't want your mother ruining the party?" She laughs. "LEAVE NOW!" Malachi shouts in his Alpha tone and his mother steps back. When I look at her I can see the fear in her eyes. She walks back slowly to the door and as she opens it to leave, she turns around with an evil glint in her eyes. "Oh, I know about Alaric by the way. This won't be that last you see of me," She promises, sending a glare my way as she walks out. I walk past Malachi and head for the stairs, need
The wolf has me pinned and the only thing keeping him from taking a chunk out of my face are my hands holding his snout, but he is too strong. Just as I’m about to give up, Malachi’s brown wolf tackles him off me. They spar on the ground, ferociously sinking their teeth into each other, but I don’t have time to focus on the fighting. I run for Marley and try to pull her up from the ground to get her out of here, but she is still in so much shock that I must force her to move. “Marley, we have to go now!” I shout, grabbing her hand and finally she snaps out of it and pushes the kids to run for an entrance to the packhouse. Suddenly, a dark brown wolf moves to block the door, trapping us all outside. I recognize this wolf immediately. “Evadean,” I whisper under my breath, meeting her eyes. She snarls at her name, baring her teeth at me in warning. “Marley, you and Ben have to take the kids inside and hide,” I order, pointing to a gate on the side of the house, before pushing her t
Malachi's POV I hold Chloe in my arms, still shaking her gently to wake her. The paramedics arrive and ask everyone to back up to give them some space. I feel as if I’m underwater, everyone is a blur with muffled voices as if they’re talking in slow motion. I can just make out the form of one paramedic as he kneels beside me to check Chloe’s pulse. "Sir, her pulse is feeble.” He begins to tell me; his words clear as day. “She seems to have lost a lot of blood." The paramedic says, almost like he’s telling me it’s too late. "HELP HER," I growl, causing him to jump, but I don’t care. I look down to see Chloe's face, which is turning blue and her once warm skin is now cold to the touch. "Chloe, please don't leave me,” I cry, hugging her to my body as I rock her. Tears are falling uncontrollably from my eyes and the whole room starts to cry as I hold the love of my life in my lap, lifeless. The paramedic hesitantly touches my shoulder softly. "Sir, I'm sorry, but she is gone." He
