Today is Wednesday, only two days until the final and the last day of this semester. It’s also a couple of months to Amelia’s wedding, and I’m trying to cram studying plus meetings with Amelia into my hectic schedule. Today she asked me to meet with her to look at gowns in her bridal magazines. “Hey, Chloe. Do you have an extra pen I could use?” Maci asks, pulling me out of my thoughts. “Sure,” I say, digging through my bag, pulling one out. “Here you go,” I smile, handing Maci the pen. “Good morning, class!” Mr. Davis says. “Let’s get into today’s topic, shall we,” He suggests and begins telling us what to expect on the final and how much this final will impact our overall grade. Maci turns to me with the excitement of gossip dancing in her eyes. “So, I saw that guy that was staring at you last week talking to you in the hall after class. What did he say?” she asks, nosey as ever. “He asked me to go to coffee with him as friends,” I state so she wouldn’t pry. “That’s cool,”
I scream and lose my balance and almost fall on my face, but strong arms grab my waist. They’ve easily caught me and placed me back on my feet. I look up to find Malachi’s sexy face looking at me. “Thank you!” I say gratefully while I find myself becoming lost in his eyes as if I’m in a trance. “I’ve got you. I’d never let you fall,” he said with a smile. “Why are you so sweet to me?” I ask, utterly confused as to why he’d go out of his way to show kindness to a mere human. “Because you are going to be my Luna,” He answered with a smirk. “Luna? What is that?” I question. “For having a best friend who is a wolf, you know nothing of our kind, huh?” He asked and I shook my head in return. “You will find out soon enough,” He says, rubbing his thumb along my lower lip.After a moment of simply staring at him, he brushes his hand softly against my face. “Why were you crying, Luna?” He questions with a look of concern. “It’s nothing,” I say as I look away in shame. “If you’re crying, i
I storm off to the kitchen so I can grab my things and leave. I already knew Amelia wasn't far behind me. "Chloe, stop! Where are you going? Don't leave, that guy is still out there. It's not safe," she says, trying to convince me to stay. "I'd instead take my chances with a crazy stalker guy than someone that thinks he owns me," I declare, grabbing my keys from the counter. "Please stay, I'll take you to your room. I'm sorry I asked you to do the dare. I knew what was going to happen," she admits shamefully. "How did you know he would do that?" I ask curiously and wait for her answer. "He’s an Alpha. It's in his blood. He won't let any man ever look at you in that way," she says, but it only confuses me more. "But why does he act like this with me?" I ask, finally manning up and demanding answers. “And why does he call me Luna? What does that even mean?" I ask, becoming frustrated. "Let's go to the room so we can talk, ok." She insists and by the look in her eyes I know she’s re
My cheeks blush as I watch Malachi pull himself to a sitting position, looking at me with worry. I can tell the surprise of it being my first time is getting to him, but I'm not sure why. Then he starts laughing. "Chloe, I'm just kidding. I knew from the beginning you were a virgin. You are very tight" He says, still laughing. I give him a look of annoyance. Then slap his shoulder. "jerk" I retort, looking at the ceiling when Malachi pulls me on top of him. My legs straddle him while I take the time to admire his features. He raises his hand to gently brush my hair out of my face. "You're so beautiful," He says, pulling me down to him to kiss his lip softly. He trails his hands down my arms, and my body heat soars. I also feel him getting hard again. Malachi switches our positions, so he is hovering above me, but not quite resting his full weight against me. Both of his arms support him on each side of me and I take this opportunity to drag my own down his shoulders to his elbow
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
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 bouncerimmediately 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
I wake up in Malachi's arms. He held me all night and didn't even try anything because of what happened with William. I turn and see Malachi still fast asleep. ‘He is so adorable.’ I think, admiring his features. I don't want to wake him, so I get up slowly. I’m wearing some of his clothes he gave me last night to sleep in, but I don't change. I walk through the door to go to the kitchen for some coffee. As I’m walking down the stairs, I hear laughter from the kitchen and as I enter, I look around to find Amelia and Paul. They turn my way. "Good morning, Chloe," Amelia says, smiling. "Good morning you two love birds," I say. "Chloe, I'm sorry about last night," Amelia tells me. "Amelia, don't apologize; none of this was your fault. William was a psychopath, and he would have found me somehow," I say, grabbing Amelia's hand to squeeze it. "I love you, Chloe. I was supposed to be protecting you, and I failed," she says with a tear running down her cheek as her head hangs with gui
I am looking at Amelia with worry all over my face. "Oh no, Kali is going to see" is all I could say. I rushed out the door, running down the stairs as fast I could to reach the tv. In front of the flat screen, I see his picture with a headline of “Body found at Club Sensations is that of William Sanders”. "The victim, William Sanders, was originally from New York and was here in Aberdeen attending classes at Forest Hills College. He was only 21 years old." The news anchor explains. Tears fill my eyes as I think about my niece raising her child alone. Amelia walks up to me to put her arms around me to console me. "Chloe, he was a bad guy. Kali is better off without him in her life," she tells me. "Still, he was the father of her child, and I took that away from her." I cry, falling to the floor, sobbing. Amelia brings herself down as well, holding me in her arms. "It's not your fault, Chloe,” she claims. Malachi walks down the stairs, and I look up at him. "Why did you kill him,
