Malachi Barton Now Novels & Stories

Taking in his almost unnaturally large physique, I wondered if he was also a patient in the doctor’s experiments. “Glad you made it, Doctor,” Malachi said to me, his face unmoving but friendly. “This must be your Beta.” “Not much more than a side pup, looks to me,” the larger man said. I felt Wyatt bristle beside me, though on the outside he only narrowed his gaze.

"And for what it's worth, Jaxon stood up for you today. The Elders tried to drag your name through the mud again and he shut it down before it could start." That made a quiet warmth flutter in my chest. It was small but real. "Thanks for telling me," I told Liam. As answer, he pointed at the map. "Do you want to see something?" I stepped forward, and he gestured at a cluster of markings near the northeastern border. "This is the current pattern of Malachi’s strikes," he explained. "He's avoiding direct attacks on major packs and picking off the small ones around us. He is slowly tightening the circle."

MALAIKA and her team had reached the Baraf safely. Everyone was wary of an ambush during their travel, knowing about the uprising. Thankfully, she regained her strength with the help of Attisha’s medicine. Everyone reminded her not to overdo her magic, especially since she could still not harness it properly.

’ I called out after a few minutes, too lazy to find out on my own. ‘I’ll be right there, Malyshka’ he answered simply. He walked over with a tray of fruit, bread, and pretzels along with a bowl of melted chocolate. Impressed, I grabbed the serving tray from him while he settled across from me. Tears threatened again as he fed me chocolate covered pretzels. Sasha POV

"You didn't mention the cottage came with such a beautiful woman, Jareth. No wonder you haven't checked in. I thought you’d finally gone feral in the bush." "Malachi, shut up," Jareth said, though the edge was gone from his voice. He turned to me, looking truly uncomfortable. "Sarah, this is Mal. He’s... a fellow hunter." "Hunter?" Malachi laughed, catching the warning look Jareth shot him. He immediately straightened his posture, his heels almost clicking together before he caught himself and forced a casual slouch. "Right. Hunting. Lots of... deer. Very dangerous. I’m Malachi Trombley, ma'am." He looked past me to the gas stove. "Is that coffee? I might actually weep."

My voice comes out hoarse, and I cough a few times to clear my throat. “O, check your socials.” I recognize Skylar’s voice right away. “Why?” “Malachi’s new podcast just dropped. You’re mentioned like ten minutes in.” My head snaps up in attention. The way Skylar’s normally confident voice comes through the phone tells me this isn’t going to be good news. She sounds concerned, and I start walking quickly to get home. “I’m at Touchdown Tavern. Can’t talk anymore, but you needed to know.” “How did YOU know?”

If he had known it would turn out like this, he should have finished off Barton previously. Marshall scowled as well. “He sure has some guts to send his people to my territory!” With this, Barton had not only evoked Tyler’s wrath but Marshall’s as well. Tyler suddenly grew ferocious upon hearing this remark. He shot a vehement glare at Marshall. “I will handle Barton myself, stay out of it.” “If that’s what you want, then fine. I’ll let you take care of him.” Marshall remarked with a shrug, “I heard he’s still in Abervale right now and that he has been working closely with someone called Cooper.”

I slump into the nearest lounge seat, and the tears come rushing down my cheeks. “Why won’t he just leave me alone?” I whisper. “Why can’t he let me go?” The guys say nothing. They just stay close. Their presence alone makes it a little easier to breathe. Eventually, I wipe my face and force a tiny smile. “God, I must look like a mess.” “What you need, baby, is a fucking good party,” Malachi says, standing. “That’s what we came here for, isn’t it?” Jaxon raises a brow. “And how do we do that? Throw one of ours?”

Malachi arrived home mid-afternoon while Jessica was still at work and he sent her a text that he was home. Half an hour later Jessica pulled into the garage and jumped in his arms where he waited for her in the living room. “Did you miss me?” Malachi asked her when she finally stopped kissing him. “A little bit,” she said and hugged him again. “Do you want to know everything that happened or just the weird parts?” “Dude, obviously I want to know everything!” They sat side-by-side on the couch and Malachi started at the beginning and told her about Bryan, the meeting with the other Alphas, the ceremony and finally the things that happened after the ceremony.

“The entire lower vanguard is reeling from the news,” Malik responded, dropping his hand from his face. “Internal spies reported that Grace Fuller and Bart Gino took back-alley meetings in Merlin’s private sanctuary earlier today. Though Bart and I share an allegiance, the bastard refused to share a single detail regarding the terms the Director offered him. There is a foul, corrupt scent underlying this entire rotation.”
