FULL NOVELXO Chapter 13
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. Do you hear me!" Malachi growls as if his wolf is going to show himself. The man, Alaric, simply stares at Malachi, unfazed by the threatening man in front of him. "Calm down brother. I have only come to give my best wishes to the happy couple,” he says calmly. "But I can see you are not happy to see me," he smirks. "Well, you figured right, brother,” Malachi answers maliciously. "Can you both stop!" I demand. They both turn to look at me. "I believe the lady has a point brother. Let's be civil for the sake of your friends, but I would like to say one thing: Malachi. You have found yourself, one gorgeous human, as your mate,” he says, eyeing my body and Malachi lost it. He grabs his brother so fast and throws him to the floor. In seconds Malachi is on top of him, throwing punches.
"Malachi, Stop!” I yell, but that doesn't do any good; they are both throwing punches now. Paul runs over to break it up. "Stop! The two of you outside, now!" Paul demands and keeps himself between the two brothers as they walk out. Amelia comes over to me. "What just happened?" she asks. "I have no clue, but they seem to hate each other," I state. Amelia looks towards the door they left out to see Paul coming back with both the men in tow. "Amelia, I'm sorry, my love," He apologizes to his wife. "It's okay, let's get back to our dance,” Amelia smiles, pulling him to the dance floor.
Malachi reaches me, giving me a look like we need to talk as he walks past me, and I follow him. Once we get around the corner, he turns to face me. "Alaric is not someone you can trust. Please promise me you won't let him fool you," he asks softly. I see the hurt in his eyes that his brother has caused. "Okay, I promise,” I say. Malachi lifts me bridal style and carries me back to the dance floor. I couldn't contain my laughter the whole way.
He puts me down slowly on the floor, holding me close to him, and we sway to the music, our bodies never breaking away. He caresses my cheek and I peer up into his eyes. "I love you, Luna,” He declares. Before I can say it back, Paul comes over with Amelia hand and hand. "Hey, guys!" Amelia says. I'm beginning to think her disruptions are on purpose. "Malachi, some of the guys from the Centralia pack would like a word with you," Paul says. "Okay, let's go,” Malachi says. He looks at me and cups my face. "I'll be back, my Luna." He declares and kisses my forehead, then they both walk off.
"What do you think so far?" Amelia asks. "It's so beautiful, Amelia. I'm so happy for you!" I declare
and she wraps her arms around me, hugging me tightly. "Love you, Chloe! I have to get back to
Paul's parents now. I'll find you later, okay,” she states. I blow her a kiss as she walks off.
I walk to the balcony to get some fresh air. I haven't been feeling well lately. I think all of the stress is getting to me. I hear the door behind me close, and I turn around thinking Malachi came to find me, but I come face to face with Alaric. He stands not far from me, looking at me as if he can read me like an open book. "Can I help you?" I ask. "Oh, I'm sorry for staring; you're just so beautiful it's hard to resist." He claims. I look around to see if I can find Malachi, but I don't see him. "Well, I better go," I say, not wanting to be alone with him.
I start to move past, but Alaric steps in front of me. "Why leave so soon? You see, my brother took something from me, and I would like to return the favor," he says with a devilish grin. "So, after all these years you choose to get revenge, why wait so long?" I ask. "Well beautiful, he didn't have a mate until now, so I had to wait.” he states, and I feel a lump form in my throat. "I have to go please let me through,” I plead. "I won't hurt you, human,” he says with fire in his eyes. I've seen eyes like that before and I started reliving the night at the club.
Relief fills my senses when Malachi steps behind his brother, but I can feel vomit coming up in my throat, and I can't hold it in. I rush to the side of the balcony railing just in time as I puke over the side. Malachi is at my side within seconds, and I notice Alaric has disappeared. "Chloe, what's wrong? Have you had too much to drink?" He questions. "No, I haven't had anything to drink.” I manage to get out before more comes up. Malachi grabs my hair and holds it back while I puke my guts up. This was not exactly how I wanted him to see me. "Do you think you ate something bad?" he asks. "I'm not sure, but I don't feel well. Can you take me home please," I ask, trying to catch my breath. "Of course,” he says, wrapping his arm around me to help me walk me to his car.
While he is driving me home, I look over at his handsome face and I just want to touch it. He catches me staring and smirks. "Is something on my face?" he laughs. "No, silly. I just missed looking at your sexy face,” I declare, and Malachi’s smirk grows into a smile.
We pull into my place, and he parks the car. He comes to open my door and helps me to my apartment. When we step inside, he carries me to my bed and lays me down, taking off my shoes. He leans down to kiss me so I can go to sleep, but I grab his arm. "Please stay with me?” I ask, not wanting to be alone. "Of course, Luna" He says, unbuttoning his shirt. He takes it off, revealing his breathtaking body. My eyes follow him as he lays it on the dresser and takes off his pants, leaving him only in his boxers.
I can barely contain my arousal. The more I stare at Malachi's body, the more wet I get. I know he can see that I'm getting turned on because I'm biting my lip and he can see the lust swirling in my eyes. Malachi crawls to me on the bed, hovering his large frame over me. I glide my hands over his torso, tracing the lines of his muscles, enjoying the way he squirms at my touch. "Show me how good of an Alpha you are," I whisper seductively with my lips to his ear.
He uses his knee to spread my legs, then inserts his body between them. He grabs the collar of my shirt with both his hands and rips it down the middle. "Oooh," I squealed in surprise. Malachi's hand moves to the back of my thigh, and he pulls my legs up to wrap around his waist. I can feel his erection between me and press my hips into him. "Ah, Luna,” Malachi lets out. I scrape my nails down his back, letting him know how eager I am.
"Oh Malachi. I need you so bad," I whisper, and that sends him over the edge. He removes his boxers and makes quick work of my panties. I gasp when he takes his member and swiftly inserts it inside, filling me. My body throbs at each eager thrust. He nudges his face into my neck, kissing my collar bone, pushing me closer to my peak. "YESSSS!" I scream out in pleasure.
Malachi rolls us so that I'm on top, and I continue our erratic rhythm by bouncing up and down, loud moans escaping me. I look down at him and see he is close, but he is trying to hold off like he doesn't want it to end. He flips us over, so he is over me once again. "Ooooh Alpha," I cry out and at those words, Malachi slams me harder, and my body spasms as I erupt into blissfulness. He pulses above me when he explodes inside me. He falls to the bed beside me on his back, breathing so heavy, and I turn towards him, wrapping my arm around him. He pulls me closer, holding me as we fall asleep in each other's arms.
Waking up, I find I'm still in Malachi's arms. I look up at him and see he’s still sleeping. I bring my hand to his face, then start tracing his lips with my fingers, and watch as he slowly opens his eyes. "Good morning, beautiful," he says. "Good..." I couldn't even get the words out before I felt sick. I brought my hand to cover my mouth. "Chloe, what's wrong?" he asks, raising himself to his elbow. I shake my head and run to the bathroom, vomiting in the trash can.
