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 just learned that Malachi has a brother, and he doesn't seem happy about him being here. ‘What could have happened between them to make him feel this much anger at seeing him?’ I wonder, glancing between Malachi and his brother. "What's going on, Malachi," I ask. He looks at me, finally taking his gaze from his brother. "Let's just say, he is bad news," he vaguely answers. "What happened to you two?" I question further, but he doesn't answer; only stares at the man that is now coming towards us. "Malachi, it's been many years, brother," The man says, then turns his eyes to me. "Who is this beautiful creature?" He asks. Malachi wraps his arm around my waist and moves me behind him. "She is none of your business," He snarls. Not liking his answer, I move from behind him to speak. "I am Chloe," I announce, holding out my hand to shake his. He takes my hand and kisses the top softly. “A pleasure to meet you, Chloe,” he says in almost a whisper. "Alaric, keep your hands off her.

It's 2:15, and I'm sitting in the doctor's office parking lot, about to go in for my appointment, but I keep hesitating. ‘What if I am pregnant? How will I tell Malachi? I know he wants kids, but we have only been seeing each other for a few months. It's too soon. We aren't even married.’ My thoughts race with worry. I look at my clock on my phone and it's 2:30. I need to go inside. I walk to the elevator and step inside and go to the 3rd floor. I step off and go right to the first door on the left. When I walk in, I only see a few people, and one is a woman sitting alone and pregnant. I feel sad for this woman. ‘Does she have a husband? Or is she just going to be a single mom?’ I wonder and my heart breaks because all I can think about Kali. I feel a tear fall down my cheek so I wipe it away fast so no one will see. "Anderson?" The nurse calls out. I stand to follow her through the door. She takes me to room six, asks me a few questions and then she directs me to go to the b

I sit on the floor, lost in my thoughts. ‘Can Malachi smell the baby? Are his senses that strong? It is his baby; maybe they have a connection I don't know about with werewolves.’ I ramble to myself before bringing myself out of it. I look Malachi in his eyes as he stands on all fours then shifts back to his human form, standing before me entirely naked. He walks to me and hugs me tight. "Luna, Are you okay?" He asks, relief filling his tone. "Yes, I'm fine. You saved me again." I manage to get out nervously because he hasn't questioned me about the baby, so maybe he doesn't know. "I would save you a million times over again," he says, cupping my face. "Malachi, your wolf, is so amazing," I tell him. "I'm glad you got to meet him. He sure likes you a lot. He got mad that I shifted back. He wanted to lay in your lap all night," He says, smiling. I smirk at Malachi. "Where are your clothes?" I laugh "Well, when we shift, they get ripped to shreds, He explains, laughing. "That mu

I am standing in front of Maci as she stands there accusing me of having something to do with Williams's death. "Maci, yes, he followed me, but I told him to leave me alone, and I went to the lady's room. That is the last I saw of him, whatever happened after that I have no idea," I explain. "Why did he follow you to the club? Maci asks. "I don't know. I didn't give him a chance to explain. He really creeped me out when he showed up," I admit, pushing away the actual events of the night from my thoughts. "Chloe, I'm sorry I came at you like that," she apologizes. "It's fine. Let's go; we are going to be late," I say. We walk to class together. It's after class and I'm driving to the packhouse when my phone rings. I slide to answer. "Hello?" I say. "Hey, sister!” Marley's sweet voice echoes through my phone. "Marley! How are you? I miss you," I tell her. "We are doing well. Kali tells me you are coming to visit," She asks, hope filling her tone. "Yeah, I'm flying out tonight,"
