Alpha Of Aberdeen
Chapter 33

My body falls to the ground, causing me to fall on all fours as each of my bones break. I look around frantically, searching the faces to find Malachi's wolf staring at me. I glance down to see light brown paws for my hands and Malachi walks to me, slowly looking into my eyes. “Luna, are you okay?” Malachi says. I jump back, turning my head side to side. “How did you say that?" I question curiously then realize I just talked to him.

“We are mates. We can mind-link. That's how wolves communicate in wolf form and we can do it in human form too,” He explains, walking to me and rubbing his snout into my neck. I nudge him with my forehead and hear Paisley starting to cry. I turn my head to see her struggling in Cypress's arms. I walk to her, and Cypress kneels to let me see her. To my surprise, she grabs my snout with her little hand. I thought she would be scared, but once Paisley looks into my eyes, she coos. “she knows it's me’ I think happily, nudging her hand and giving it a lick. I look to Cypress. "It's okay, Chloe. I have her," he says, giving me a reassuring smile. "You make a beautiful wolf by the way," He mutters before turning to take Paisley inside.

I look in the window of the house and see my new reflection. My wolf has light brown fur, and my eyes are almost lime green. As I look at myself, Malachi's wolf comes into view behind me from the window. I turn around to face him. “This is amazing. I feel full of energy, and I'm so happy Paisley isn't scared of me. I guess I can't call you wolfman anymore.” I say, full of excitement. Malachi's wolf almost looks like it's laughing. I tilt my head to the side, like dogs do when they are confused, and give him a questioning look. “Your wolf is gorgeous. My wolf likes her a lot,” Malachi says, staring at me. “I can't feel my wolf yet, so I don't know how she feels about you,” I say, wishing I could laugh. “Even in your wolf form, you're still making jokes I see” He says as his wolf shakes his head.

I start to walk into the forest where I hear Malachi behind me. “This hearing is amazing,” I tell him, turning back to face him. Malachi nudges me, and I cuddle under his chin pressing my wolf's head into his chest. “Let's go for a run through the forest,” Malachi suggests taking a step forward. "Okay," I say, taking off in a run. "Let's play tag,” I suggest, running ahead of him. Malachi chases after me. He is right on my heels when I take a sharp right, jumping over a small creek. I can hear the stream so clearly. I jump up onto a large rock to check my surroundings for Malachi. I look down to see a shadow moving in the tree line and my ears perk up at the sound of a twig breaking to the left of me.

I jump down from the rock, rushing for the middle of the forest, then I jump over a tree limb. As I'm in mid-air I hear “Hello Chloe." I crash land, tumbling several times until I come to a stop. I get to my feet, looking around to find who could have said that. “Chloe, do not be afraid; it is me, your wolf. We finally meet’ the voice explains. I stand in the middle of the forest stunned. I feel crazy like those people in parks talking to themselves and I wonder if it's okay to answer myself.

I decide to hell with it and give it my best shot. 'l can talk to you anytime I'm in my wolf form?" I ask and hear my wolf chuckle. 'I will always be present, but in the far distance of your mind. When you need me, I will come forth anytime you call upon me or if i feel that it is necessary to speak’ she further explains. I get pulled out of my conversation by the sound of the crunching of leaves. I turn toward the noise and notice I can see clearly in the dark as if I'm wearing night vision goggles. "He's close. If you don't want to be caught, you better run’ my wolf insists. I can feel her own excitement for the chase, along with my own.

I dart away from the noise, running deeper into the forest until I find myself close to the ocean. I emerge from the woods to a clearing that overlooks the sea from a cliff. I stand at the edge, taking in the scent of salt in the air. "Malachi is here’ my wolf warns, so I turn around to see Malachi standing at the clearing with his eyes fixed on me. "So, you thought you could get away from me?" He asks, slowly stalking toward me.

When he is only a few feet away; I use the force of my back legs, launching myself over his head and running into the woods again. “That was a nice one, Chloe. You're going to make the perfect Luna. The Moon Goddess chose perfectly," my wolf praises me, and I feel proud that I outsmarted the Alpha. I keep running when I come to a large opening in the woods. It's a cave, and I walk in, slowly checking the surroundings to make sure there are no bears, even though they wouldn't be much of a threat to me now.

After checking the entire cave, I find it's all clear, so I lay down and face the entrance with my head resting on my front paws. I continue to watch the opening waiting for Malachi to show. I sniff the air and smell his scent is close by, then in seconds his wolf appears with his eyes glowing yellow in the dark. "Luna?" Malachi says with a low growl, planting his front paws inches away from my face. "Oh, you caught me almighty, Alpha," I tease. "I knew you would be fun in your wolf form. Did your wolf come out?" Malachi asks. "Yes, she did. She is as feisty as me. I think we are a perfect match,” I tell him happily, getting to my feet. "Let's head back," Malachi suggests. "The last one to the packhouse has to cook breakfast for a week," I say as I run out of the cave, getting a head start.
